You just can't 'hang 10' with out knowing how to surf!!!!
1.  Go to my page of Bookmarks at  http://www.olivija.com/lungs/  Scroll down it header titled: Search Engines.  There is a whole page of  them but use the fast one there with the window, already ready to go.
2.  Type in any name in the world you want to know about.  Put the name in quotes.  It does not matter if it is caps or lower case.  The only thing that is case sensitive is url addresses.
3.  Try "Butterflies" -  "Brad Pitt" -  "Animals with four legs" - "Things that go bump in the night" - "what ever flips your floppy"
SOMETIMES YOU GET MORE THAN YOU WANT from these searches.  Some  very sick people sneak in smutty things where you are trying to do an honest search.  So when searching the web do not be surprised.  If it
turns you off, just click it off.  If I can explain anything more to you please feel free to email and ask me.  I really do want all of you to learn to use and enjoy your computers more.   Mine has brought me so much enjoyment when I did not feel like getting out of this chair, I did not have to pout and feel sorry for myself. I could travel and explore the far reaches of Cyberspace and my spirits would be lifted as I soared with a newfound freedom.
HAPPY SURFING!!!!!!

3.  Move the cursor to the inside of the highlighted text (it will change to an arrow) and while there, click the right mouse button.  Select copy - this puts your selection on the clipboard which will stay there until you turn off your computer or copy something new.  If you do not feel real handy with the mouse, you can do this same step by going up to edit and click and then select copy.
4.  Move your cursor to where you want to place the copied text and click your right mouse button.  Select paste and your text will appear as if by magic.  Want to paste it five times (Like if you wanted to put five smiley pictures somewhere) just click five times.  Remember that what you put in the clipboard stays there until you replace it.  So rather than trying to remember or learn how to resend something, I usually just do a quick
full page copy (control a) and paste the page to a new message blank.

To clean up all of those >>>s that show up when a message has been forwarded several times, what I normally 
do is copy the message, including all the greater than symbols (>>>), and paste it into my word processor.

Then I go into the Find/Replace function (found in the "Edit" menu).  I tell it to find > and replace it with 
NOTHING (not the word, just leave the "Replace With" field blank).  Then tell it to go to work.

After that, I manually reformat the document the way I like it, copy the whole thing, paste it into an e-mail, 
and send the critter.  I like to use programs with which I am familiar, so it becomes almost automatic for me.
