Hmmmm......if I get too many blank looks on
BEGIN {sum = 0}
{ sum = sum + $0 }
END {print sum}
I'll try and go a little slower, but it ain't that hard, is it?

Oh, I forgot to put in the introduction:
"""
This lecture covers many topics, and I won't be able to do more then
touch on many of them. So, whenver I mention a program, I'll also mention
where you can learn more about it. Most UNIX programs come with a ``man
page'', which you can read by simply typing ``man ''+program name at the
prompt
"""
IOW, I certainly plain on just a teensy bit of DoSing, to get them to
RTFM. On the other hand, I'm not attached to any of it -- I'll answer
questions and make sure everyone are following me, even if I can't reach
the really interesting parts.
