Hello Rex,

I've seen you post a few times(!) on online-news about the wonders of
Linux, and having just spent the weekend installing it and attempting to
get it running, I have to agree that it is a very powerful system to have
on your PC.

Basically I've set it up so I can author Web pages, having got completely
fed up with compatability problems moving from Windows/MS-DOS to Unix.  I
just wondered if I could pester you for a couple of perls of wisdom.

Firstly, I've installed the Andrew package, well the Word Processor bit,
and I think it has the HTML extensions included which look very good.  My
problem is that the backspace key on my keyboard rather annoyingly deletes
characters _in front_ of it, rather than behind, I don't suppose you know
how to reconfigure this by any chance?

Do you know of any other fab tools for HTML, and Graphics authoring, or for
Xwindows in general that are a must have?

Sorry to rattle off such a barrage of questions, but I feel like I have a
new toy to play with here.  Last time I touched a Unix system was at
university, boy have I forgotten a lot!

Thanks in advance,


Sam
