                                  Answer:
   
   There are a number of different ways to obtain copies of the FAQ:
     * WWW. If you are reading this on Usenet, and would like to see an
       online, hyperlinked version, go visit [2]http://www.scjfaq.org/.
       This is the "web" version of the FAQ; the version posted to Usenet
       is generated from the web version. Note that the www.scjfaq.org
       version is a copy of the actual master version; if you want to
       access the master, visit [3]http://master.scjfaq.org/.
     * Email. Scjfaq.org also provides an autoretriever that allows one
       to obtain a copy of the FAQ by return Email. To use the
       autoretriever, you send a retrieval request to
       [4]archives@scjfaq.org with the request in the body of the
       message. A more reliable way to retrieve these files is through
       the [5]FAQ autoretriever
       ([6]http://www.mljewish.org/bin/autoresp.cgi). For the FAQ, the
       request has the form:
       
     send faq partname
       For the reading list, the request has the form:
       
     send rl partname
       "Partname" is replaced by the name of the part, as shown in the
       general index. The following is a short summary of the mapping to
