----------------------------------
Use Chooser from the "Apple logo" menu
click "AppleShare" & select "citron" from
the list & press OK
@¨tselect citr@citron

Close the Chooser window & locate the
citr@citron icon on your desktop & Open it.
2. via a web browser
--------------------
o Click on the Title or URL given (if clickable)
...wait til it finishes (ignore gobbledygook)
then do a Save (as Source not Text).
This should get you a copy which works. Just load
Word or Excel & "Open" the document.
(You may have to click "Show All Files" to see it.)
(Note: If the document has been created with
Excel 5 or Word 6 or later, the file will
also work on PCs with these versions.)
If the Title or URL is not clickable:
o Copy & paste the URL given in @§˜the repository
entry into the "Location" box or "Open
Location" dialogue box, e.g.:
http://web/macintosh/citr/Templates/TEMPLATES-Eng/Pro-forma%20Invoice
o If a URL is not given directly, you can build
the URL from citr@citron folder
navigation information by starting the URL as:
http://web/macintosh/citr/
& follow it by the folder/file names; e.g.:
Templates
TEMPLATES-Eng
Pro-forma Invoice
builds up to
http://web/macintosh/citr/Templates/TEMPLATES-Eng/Pro-forma%20Invoice
(Note: replace a space by %20)
[Note: Update the above when ftp works & when all
URLs are made clickable]

This is an area where each person has a folder
only they can write to, but all can read
