WEB DIAMOND Tips:

1. If you want to be able to access these WEB DIAMONDS but you
don't have WWW access, simply send an e-mail message to:
agora@mail.w3.org
...and in the BODY of the note, type the URL you want.
This works for retrieving WEB DIAMONDS as well as any other
URL page you want to retrieve!

2. Although we have created a page of hyperlinks to all of
these WEB DIAMONDS (see above), you may want to quickly go
to one of the URLs mentioned in this note (or other notes
you receive).  A shortcut you may want to be aware of is that
you can highlight any URL in Eudora, Netscape, etc., hit the
"copy" key and then "paste it into your browser's "go to"                e
window.  (You can also use an open document in your word
processing package as an interim step if there are several
you want to cut and paste.)
