HYPERNEWS GUIDE
 
This page simulates what the hypernews pages will look like. 
The critical areas (i.e., where to double-click the mouse) are generally in 
bold and larger font.   My own instructions are added in red font. 
 
1. On any of my course web pages, select "Hypernews," and then select the appropriate course. 
     For example, if you were taking my risk class (H.S. 469), you would click on "Hypernews" and 
     get the following screen:
   
      
         
            
                
               
               
                  - This site is
                  used for various activities within
                  Hypernews.
