In article <1994Aug16.130340.28124@miavx1>, I wrote (in part):

Let me back up, and take a running start at this :-)
 
 
Log in to your MiaVX1 account.
 
 
1)  Enter your root directory by typing
 
         CD \
 
    Note:  You can confirm you are in your root directory by typing
                SHOW DEFAULT
           which should return
                SYS_USERS:[<dir>.<userid>]
           where <dir> is an alphabetic directory name without the <>
           bracket signs and <userid> is your userid without the <>
           bracket signs.  If there is a period (.) and something else
           following your userid, you are still in a subdirectory.
           Try entering the CD \ command again.
 
 
2)  Type
 
         SET FILE /PROT=(W) *.*;*
 
 
3)  Type
 
         SET FILE /PROT=(W:E) [-]<userid>.DIR
 
    where <userid> is your userid without the <> bracket signs
 
 
4)  Type
 
         SET FILE /PROT=(W:RE) WWW.DIR
 
 
5)  Enter your WWW subdirectory by typing
 
         CD WWW
 
 
6)  For each file you wish to make accessible to World Wide Web, type
 
         SET FILE /PROT=(W:RE) <filename.extension>;*
 
    where <filename.extension>;* is the actual name and extension of
    the file to which you wish to provide access.
 
 
This part still holds:

>      http://miavx1.muohio.edu/~<userid>/<file.spec>
>
> where ~ is the actual tilde sign, <userid> is your userid on MiaVX1 *without*

> subdirectory to wish you wish to link, again without the <> brackets.
 
 
Many thanks to Kent Covert for helping clarify the safe way to do the file
permissions;  if I've messed them up, it's my fault, not his.
