264.0. "Possibly related conference." by ERLTC::COOPER (Topher Cooper) Mon Dec 15 1986 18:25

Here's the announcement of a new conference.  Press KP7 to add it to your
notebook.

I don't know how open it will actually be discussions of dowsing.  So far
it only contains the introductory note.

    	Welcome to the Metal Detecting and Treasure Hunting notes file.
    
    	This file is open to anyone who, like myself, scratches around
    in the dirt for anything he or she values. Therefore, if you are
    a Coinshooter (Metal Detector user), a Dowser, a weekend Gold
    Prospector, a Bottle Collector or an amature Archeologist use this 
    file to tell the world about your hobby. Share your adventures and 
    misadventures with us. What have you found? What would you like to 
    find? Give us your opinions and advice.
    	Please use note 2 to introduce yourself. If you have friends
    within DEC who share your interests, spread the word about this 
    notes file so that all areas of the DEC World are represented.
    
    Regards, Dick McClelland "The Metal Detective"

    I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BUY A METAL DETECTOR!!
    
    ARE THEY EXPENSIVE?  WHERE CAN I GET ONE?  I LIVE NEAR A HISTORICAL
    PLACE.  I WOULD LOVE TO POKE AROUND THERE WITH A METAL DETECTOR.

    Re .1:
    
    You don't have to shout!
    
    Metal detectors can be bought for $40.00 or so, and the inexpensive
    ones can be purchased at places like Radio Shack.
    
    Here, however, I think we might want to concentrate on the dowsing
    side of things.  (Or check out my note on psionic machines.)

264.4How to get the Metal Detection notes file.ERLTC::COOPERTopher CooperWed Dec 17 1986 14:3742
RE: .1
    
    You'll probably get more information, including advice, if you post
    you're request for information in the metal detector notes file.
    If you don't know how to do that, here's how:
    
    	1) With the DEJAVU notes file open in NOTES, read note 264.0.
    	   You can do that by simply typing "264" at the notes prompt.
    
    	2) Hit KP7 (that's the 7 key on the numerical keypad).  This
           should put the conference in your notebook.  If the number
    	   at the upper right of your screen has an "*" after it, then
    	   that means that this capability has been set up for the note.
    
    	3) If you don't have a VT100 style terminal (with a numerical
    	   keypad on it).  Simply type:
    
    		ADD ENTRY FREEBE::METAL_DETECTION
    
    	   at the NOTES command prompt.  This should have the same effect.
    
    	4) Type ^Z (control Z) to get yourself up to the notebook level.
    	   You'll see a bunch of conferences displayed, including
    	   METAL_DETECTION and presumably DEJAVU.  Position the little
    	   arrow, by using KP2 and KP5 keys, so it is next to METAL_DET.
    	   Then hit KP7 again, and you'll be reading that conference.
    
    	5) Now you can use a WRITE command to post your request to that
    	   conference.  Since it is a new conference, and the question
    	   is so broad, answers will be coming in for a while.
    
    Etiquette Note: Use of all upper case on computers is a custom that
    dates back to early teletypes and keypunches which only had upper
    case.  It is a custom whose justification no longer exists.  Unless
    you are for some reason stuck with an ancient clunkety-clunkety
    machine, don't type your notes all upper case.  Its harder to read
    and gives the mental impression of SHOUTING.  You're readers are
    much more likely to be well disposed to you if you don't.  If you
    really have trouble using the shift key, turn off the shift-lock
    and use all lower case.  Thank you.

264.5CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS NOTE.ERLTC::COOPERTopher CooperWed Dec 17 1986 14:549
RE: .4
    
    Sorry, the command in step 3 should read:
    
    		ADD ENTRY FREEBE::METAL_DETECTING
    
    (That's why the KP7 option is so handy).
