Not that you asked, or anything, New Guy, but if you would like to know how to list these sites as hotlinks, try this:

First, type in a bracket (that's the thingy above the comma). next, type a href=" and paste in your link. Then close the quotes, close the bracket, and name your link. Then type in:

(bracket) /a (bracket)

and you're done. It will look something like this:

(bracket)a href="http://news.excite.com/news/ap/000126/09/int-norway- truckers"(bracket)taxes for truckers(bracket)/a(bracket)

Sorry if you already knew this.

"Is this the beginning of the economic slow down?"

A Recession is when your neighbor is out of work. A Depression is when *you* are out of work.

Die, hope you don't get paid real money for writing tech manuals, heh.

taxes for truckers

-- Hokie (Hokie_@hotmail.com), January 26, 2000.

Hokie, the limiting graphics allowing me to teach basic HTML code by forum have obviously confused you somewhat. Please allow me to explain.

When I use the term (bracket), I am using it to indicate that either > or < should be used in the equation. Instead of typing the verbatim term (bracket), press the shift key and use the comma and period keys to utilize the brackets on those same keys there.

I don't write technical manuals. My job is far below my intellectual capacity, but not quite that far.

J, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong. Sorry.

Good luck to you both, and New Guy, you're welcome.

FWIW: So far as HTML code goes, you can use the "View/Document Source" function of Netscape (to see how it's been done in other threads). I know there's a corresponding function in IE, I just don't know the name.

And so far as Coca-Cola laying off 6,000 -- well, that's just the New Paradigm! They're letting all these 6,000 people have all day to day-trade from now on! It's the NEW ECONOMY!!! (Sure, we may end up as a nation that produces nothing but massive amounts of butt-cellulite, but WE'RE ALL GONNA BE RICH! TRUST US!)
