>Hi. I recently saw the message that talked about subcribing the CoCo Sig, bu Usenet. We'll I typed subscribe coco, and it gave me a error, like unknown user, so I tyoed subscribe coco Erich Sweaney and that still did not work? Does any know how? or can help me? Thank you..

   
What you did wrong was sending your commands to COCO@pucc.princeton.edu .
The right thing to do is to send to LISTSERV@pucc.princeton.edu
subscribe Coco Eric Sweaney

p.s. whenever sending a command to *any* listserver, make sure you send to
listserv@wherever.etc.etc, not the listname.  When you sent your subscription
request to COCO@pucc.princeton.edu, everyone on the List got a copy of it.(Really gets on a persons nerve when soemeone does that, but just make sure you don't do it too often (you get BLUE *flames* :)
