Check out my .plan to find out the seemingly ever elusive answer to that 
question.   To do so, type   !f -m nephi | more   at any PicoSpan prompt.

I'd love to, but this is what I see:

Ok: !f -m nephi | more
/bin/sh: more: not found
!
 
Browse (item list), Read (new items),
Join confname (type "help conf" for a list of conferences), 
Help (for more help), Mail (for e-mail)
or Quit (to exit from Picospan).
 
Ok:

Oh, well...

Try again lilmo. I found that your .profile file was missing.
It should have been created for you by newuser. I have created one for you.

Any idea why that might have happened?.

   Your .profile might well have been removed by fsck during a check
of /home.   We still have a problem here, where the /home and /usr/local
partitions aren't completely stable.  We need to reboot the machine
every three days or so to keep things happy.  Lately however, because of
the decreased system load (thanks to sendmail), we haven't lost many
files lately.

That's good...  But why was my response signed "Mark Clifford" ?!??

Hey!  It's happening to me too!  (At least our first names are right,
lilmo).  :)

Re 83: It sounds like your conference participation files got munched
along with your .profile file.  Did Grex recently tell you something
like "you are not a member of the coop conference, do you want to
join, observe, or quit?"?

Re 84: Sounds like *you* used the "pseudo" command.  :)

You mean there's such a thing as a "pseudo" command?  Scandalous!

No!  I don't believe it!

Re #85:  No, but I did recently begin rereading responses I had read 
several weeks ago...  *shrug*  But I've never changed my name!!

response 89 of 106: Mark Unseen   Feb 16 13:44 UTC 1995

Hm.  Has your name for the system ever been set to Mark Clifford?
Could you have accidentally copied someone else's conference files
to your own directory?

You know... I just used the 'n' command to get back to the summer Agora and 
got the message that I was not a member of that conference.  I have responses
there, so I would assume that I was a member there....

Ja, the participation files were reaped, on the theory that not many
people are using the conference anymore and it's going to be archived
and put away Real Soon Now.

response 92 of 106: Mark Unseen   Feb 19 19:58 UTC 1995

   Right.  All the agora10 confernce files were removed.  Agora11 
participation files were all removed, except for those that were
last touched in February.  These 22 or so were left on disk, but
all the others were removed.

re #89:
  Not that *I* know of...  I noticed it happening right after srw made me
a .profile, but I never would have THOUGHT to use "Mark Clifford" !!!

response 94 of 106: Mark Unseen   Feb 22 08:21 UTC 1995

How, then, do I save Agora 10?
popcorn
response 95 of 106: Mark Unseen   Feb 22 15:16 UTC 1995

The whole conference?
nephi
response 96 of 106: Mark Unseen   Feb 23 02:28 UTC 1995

Yeah, sure.  Gee, it's text--it can't be *that* big.  Can it?  

By the way, how *do* I save something to my home computer if I'm using the
Windows terminal program?  

srw
response 97 of 106: Mark Unseen   Feb 24 03:18 UTC 1995

You mean, like, how do you download a file?
I think Windows terminal does Kermit protocol.(though not well)
To send a file named foo to your home computer via Kermit, type
!kermit -s foo
On Grex, and then you'll have to find the right menu item to receive
a file via windows terminal. Select Kermit, not X-modem. X-modem usually 
won't work over a telnet link. but Kermit will.

response 98 of 106: Mark Unseen   Feb 24 04:07 UTC 1995

Kermit also has the advantage over X-Modem of handling wildcard characters
in filenames, so you could cd to the Agora 10 directory and do a 
!kermit -s * to download the whole cf.  (I think).  But if you do that,
I'd suggest downloading a single text file first, then verify that it's
readable on your PC.  It will probably work no prob, but it's a good
rule of thumb before downloading files for several hours :).
