Is there a *TEXT* based (rather than *hyper link*) intro/tutorial on creating and editing pages? Is that plain English? I've gotten *strange* replies to similarly phrased question. SEE: http://groups.google.com/groups?&as_ugroup=comp.soft-sys.math.scilab&as_usubject=wiki&as_uauthors=owlett or http://groups.google.com/groups?&as_ugroup=24hoursupport.helpdesk&as_usubject=wiki&as_uauthors=owlett Do I write comprehensible English? Thanks

I am not aware (personally) of a text based tutorial; perhaps it's because most Wikis are Hypertext so it's assumed hypertext is natural? Cheers PeteS
