Anyone needing assistance with E.T.Net can: -- use the draft user guide, avialable by request from sparks@lhc.nlm.nih.gov please include your SURFACE mail address in your request -- use the online users guide conference, available on E.T.Net -- contact me for assistance Susan M. Sparks, RN, PhD (301) 496-6280 I will be pleased to help anyone with access to and use of E.T.Net (Educational Technology Network), which carries the conference NUCARE (NUrsing CAre REsearch). Please let me know if I can help you. If you want to "wing" it without assistance of any kind, at least try changing the menus from executive (how the software is set for all NEWUSERS) to the long, descriptive menu labels. This change in style can be done from any conference MAIN MENU by selecting user environment and following the menu selections presented from there. I would like the opportunity to assist anyone who is having difficulties with E.T.Net. E.T.Net will benefit from YOUR participation there! We hope you'll reap rewards from interacting there too!
