Several folk have sent me email asking where to get "A Gentle Introduction to
TeX."  Since there may be more out there, here's a more public answer:
Send email to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET with the single line

SENDME GENTLE

and you will get over a dozen parts in reply.  Cat them together and run
them through TeX to produce a .dvi file that will print into about
100 pages of manual.

You can also send the single line

HELP

to get more info on the SHSU fileserver.

Also, you may wish to try similar things with 
archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu, sending a single line help message
as above.  Also, try the same help message to MAILSERV@ymir.claremont.edu.
If this doesn't put you on the road to more TeX information than you can
stand, nothing will -- but of course there are more servers, too...
see comp.text.tex for an occasional Frequently Asked Questions sort of
posting with these and more...
