From the format menu, choose show ruler.  One of the things on the  
ruler is a pop-up dispenser of styles.  Just place your cursor where  
you want the start the new cell, pick the style you want from the  
pop-up list, and keep going.

I reported this bug during pre-release 1 of NS 3.0. Otheres probably did  
also.  Does this mean that the folks at NeXT don't really support anything  
but appkit/IB stuff?

I also found the header file reorganization a real pain.  Certain  
automatically constructed makefiles fail big time because they have  
depedencies for things like /usr/include/stdio.h.

Interesting. This is true for me (2.1) as well. But...
You can verify my point if you search for "map file" when select full word   
I get 19 in "NeXT Developer" and only 7 (!) if I select prefix.
Any guess? Fixed in 3.0 or 2.2 ? Maybe that is related to the fact that I  
use 2 words (Oh yes tried it) I just tried first search "map" and than  
"refine" and "file" now I get 34 with prefix. This is definitly a bug.  
Ahh.. I tried "Zilog delay" => 0 "Zilog dela" => 0 "Zilo delay" => 0
"Zilo dela" => 1 (!!!) got you guy!
=> Prefix doesn't work correctly if you use (at least?) 2 words in your 
search.

You should take a good look at IDA sendmail, which is very easy to
configure.  You simply declare some stuff in a m4 config file, type
'make' and presto, you have a working sendmail.cf.

For example:

$ cat transsys.m4 
dnl #
define(ALIASES, /etc/sendmail/aliases)
define(LIBDIR, /etc/sendmail)
define(FORCE_NAMED)
define(PSEUDONYMS, wa3ymh.transsys.com transsys.com wa3ymh.umd.edu localhost.transsys.com)
define(UUCPNAME, wa3ymh)
define(UUCPNODES, sayshell)
define(BANGIMPLIESUUCP)
define(POSTMASTERBOUNCE, louie)
define(HIDDENDOMAIN, TransSys.COM)
include(Sendmail.mc)

And that's a bit more complicated that most.

Thanks Christos!  I have tried all four permutations:

If you use -traditional, you also need to use -D__STRICT_BSD__ I think.
Try it and see if it solves your problem.  You could also try using
the "-bsd" switch instead of the "-traditional" switch.

Lacking documentation for the notebook interface, I've been having a fun  
time trying to figure Mathematica out.

I have discovered a way to get the section and subsection headers (with  
the little square bullets) into my notebook; type in the text, and use the  
Style Inspector to change the style of the cell to "section" or  
"subsection" or whatever. This, however, is really a pain in the butt.

Is there an easier way, preferably with a keystroke, to automatically  
place a section cell into a notebook, or to convert an input cell to a  
section cell?

Any hints would be appreciated.

Subject: Photorealistic RenderMan documentation

Date: Sat, 3 Oct 1992 16:06:30 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for documentation on the RenderMan shading language and
the format of .RIB files that are passed to RenderMan for display.
The version of RenderMan supplied with the NeXT comes with a bunch of
shaders and textures, but no documentation on them (I can get simple
ones to work, but can't pass parameters to them succesfully even when I
can figure out what the parameters are, so texture mapping and such
are out).  In addition, though I can determine that .RIB files are
quite similar to the RenderMan language itself (documented in The
RenderMan Companion which I already have), there is no document
describing its syntax explicitly.  Same is actually true for the
shading language which is well documented but lacks information such
as the exact output of functions like noise().  Anyway, I'm seeking
any documents on RenderMan, whether for the NeXT or for any other
platform that might be similar in its implementation.  Is there a
repository of documents on-line anywhere, or that can be purchased?
Does a newsgroup exist that is more or less dedicated to RenderMan?
Any help would be appreciated greatly.  

I will summarize e-mail so please don't send "I would like this too"
messages.

Thanks!

So when *is* NeXT going to provide decent color cheap?  Their monitors
are priced ok (but the Phillips I saw was pretty poor), but the ND is
just too much.  You pay a bundle for an i860 that you don't even get
to use.  And video i/o that you may or may not need.  And no hardware
compression, as promised with the unchanged price.

Surely NeXT with their insanely great manufacturing can make a 24-bit

I had trouble with this under 2.2 and, now, 3.0.  For 2.2, I had to install
the man pages with "installman".  Nothing else worked - even if I duplacted
the commands installman was executing.  Then, under 3.0, I tried to just
index them w/o any of the indexing files.  That didn't work.  I then tried
installman.  It's gone.  I then tried to copy the indexing resource files 
that were in the NextLibrary man pages.  Still wasn't right.  Finally, I
copied the index file from the NextLibrary man pages and did an update.
That worked.  Jeez, I hope this isn't the "right" way to do this.  I'll
have to read the docs for DL sometime - if I can find it.

I do appreciate having BackSpace.  That, Terminal and Edit were very nice
surprises, indeed.

Well, I don't know whether super glue will work or not.  Personally I 
attached home made security devices to my station with epoxy.  It worked well
(it's necessary to remove the paint from the relevant area first).  Of
course, it's never going to come off, which could conceivably be a problem
if I ever want to sell.  It doesn't look that stylish either.

I tried to find commercial security products, but all the ones in our local
computer stores looked hopelessly inadequate.  So I made some plates from
tool steel, cut holes in them, and then epoxied some to the components of my 
machine and a couple to my desk.  Then I locked through them with Kryptonite
locks.  The cpu itself is locked down from both sides, so it's impossible
to lift it to get at the screws.  I don't think it could be stolen without
application of much time and patience or else industrial tools.  I took so
much trouble over it because it's my machine, but sits in my graduate office
which is usually open and to which hundreds of people have a key.  I wasn't
sleeping too well at night without good security arrangements.
