These instructions are written for Windows 95 and Netscape Navigator 3 but have helpful information no matter what computer you're using.

You may already know how to do some of the things I'm
going to try to teach you, but for the sake of my writing these instructions, I will start with some basics. I've found the easiest way to
copy and save recipes or any other text, is by the 'Copy and Paste' method.

LESSON 1: COPY AND PASTE:
Bring up a recipe or text. Highlight it with your mouse or cursor, by
scrolling it until it turns blue (this is what mine does). Press
'Control' and 'C' at the same time and that copies it. It will look like
you haven't done anything--as if you must have lost it. Go to the site
that you want to post it (in an e-mail or a recipe board) and press
'Control' and 'V' and voila, you see your recipe or text go into place.

Test your skills by sending a recipe to yourself via e-mail.
Bring up a 'New Message' form, and address it to your own e-mail address.
Go to the upper right hand corner, and click on the minus sign. That
will move the form to the 'Task Bar' at the bottom, so it is out of the
way for the time being. Click on this URL:
http://www.kitchenlink.com/clippings/clippings.html You are able to click on this
URL and have it come up into 'Location' because I brought the program up
into 'Location' by the cut method. When the program came up, I
highlighted it to cut it, and then pasted it into this document. Select a recipe from this site,
any recipe, and highlight it by scrolling it until it turns color. Press
'Control' and 'C' at the same time to copy it. Click on the e-mail
message form addressed to me, which is resting in the 'Task Bar' at the
bottom of the screen. Type in a subject in the 'Subject Line', and any
message in the message area that you want to send. Then put your cursor
in the message area, and press 'Control' and 'V' at the same time, and
the recipe you selected will appear in your e-mail message. When you receive the e-mail, you will know you are ready for the second lesson.

I suggest you print out these instructions, and put them in a notebook
for safe keeping. Also, having these, the other lessons will make more
sense to you. Another reason for saving them, and eventually getting
them transfered to a floppy, is so that you will have them to share with
someone else, possibly. I had my computer crash on a number of
occasions, and I've lost everything I had stored on it and had to start
over. I don't know why, but transfering files from the computer to
floppys was one of the hardest lessons for me to learn. I had no formal
computer lessons, but had instructions from friends, and by trial and
error, and lots of errors, I've finally learned enough that I can enjoy
using it, and making new friends on the net.
