Hi Ann,

pardon this part it's 'canned<-
# N3
Hi,  I feel I have some particularly interesting insights which
will help those of you in the teaching profession.  I am a
Quadriplegic <C-4 complete.>  Which has paralyzed me from the
neck down. Currently I use a MAC SE Personal Computer with a
Personics Headmaster headset to operate the system. I'm studying
Psychology at Marist College, and I'm a Senior with a 3.3 GPA.
   As you can see I am quite frank writing about this somewhat
difficult life circumstance.  With-out going into detail, I've
had many public speaking engagements in schools in my locality
and am willing to share any of that information with anyone who
might like or need to know about my life-style.  I'll check in
here from time to time, and I live in Beacon NY near Newburgh.

That saves a lot of keystrokes!  MCWS for Machintosh or PCWS for DOS
machines allow someone at home logon the mainframe with their own pc
and emulate a 3270 system in which full screen editing can be done with
whatever periferals one is aclimated with.  For me it's a Personics
Headmaster headset, but window and trackballs or any cursor controller
and its screentyping software (muli-tasking) will do the job.  I
addition Expressionist is a great math caracter generator.  I breazed
through Intermediate Algera, and the scoftware can general calculous
equations and symbols as well.  I've used both and excelled in both
algebra and statistics.  The equipment is so easy to use one could
follow a taped class doing the calculations at normal speed!  If you
don't believe I've done this check in the 1990-1991 edition of Who's
Who Among Student's in American Universities & Colleges and explain
what I'm [James E. Sherwin] doing wrong? ;-)

If you wish to discuss the vast amount of hard and software file I've
collected over the past few years try responding to this message of
give me a note on GEnie (address; sherwin) or bitnet (address;
khjq@musicb)  I'm not familiar in using bitnet but my accout code on
Marist College's [in Poughkeepsie, NY] musicb 'line' is khjq.

good luck,
