Note: If you try these instructions and they don't work, please try them again, making sure that the formatting is exactly like that in the examples. If you get into a real muddle and need help, you can write to the TESL-L help line: TESLHELP@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU
Include a copy of the error message that you received. It is important to remember that TESLHELP is manned by a volunteer. We expect you to make every effort to try to solve your own problems before turning to the Help line.
