I know, I'm familiar with the Cyberspace Transporter and have a copy of it.
I wanted to find out about the shutting down/starting up my second node
before trying to install it, though.

Maybe, maybe not... But why, then, are the DesqView commands included in
the manual for Cyberspace?  They seem pretty important for the author

hate to find out the hard way.

Anyone else have any opinions on this?
