Re: Need Tutor
I have the hang of the REM's
I think I will try your suggestion of the download & install
Will I find it using setup.exe for cygwin?
or do I need to go to one of the mirrors and download that specific file?
(on a side note I'm not gettting the green bar at the top of each
window. I would have tried clicking and dragging had I gotten that but
it's not there??)
