   1.First close all running applicatons so that you are looking at your desktop. 
   2.Click on "Start" at the bottom left corner of your desktop and select "Run". 
   3.**Here open "Telnet" by typing telnet artsci.wustl.edu and clicking on "OK". 
   4.Now open your artsci account by entering your login name and password at their prompts. 
   5.**Instead of typing pine,as you would in order to read your email, type cd public_html
   6.At the prompt, type chmod a-r filename.htm
   7.Now you can open up "Netscape Communicator" and in the location field type
     http://artsci.wustl.edu/~your_login/filename.htm
