   You're not serious, are you?  
  
  Telemate's View and Edit windows make this so easy.  Just open up the View
Window (hit [Alt-V]) and load in TELEMATE.DOC.  Or, open the Edit Window (hit
[Alt-E]) and do the same.  You can do this at any time, even during a
download!  :)  I learned about many of Telemate's features by killing time
reading the docs while downloading at 2400 BPS (this was a long time ago :).
  Or, you can do what I do:  Copy TELEMATE.DOC over the TM.HLP file in your
Telemate directory.  This will mean [F1] will bring up your Telemate main
docs.  You can then use [F4] and [F5] to search, and you still have the Edit
and View windows free.  You do lose the context-sensitive parts of the old
help, but that was so bad it wasn't even funny.  :)
  Hope this helps!
... A social life?  Where can I download that from?
