Lesson 4

If you haven't been practicing your ALT + TAB keystrokes or using the TASK BAR in Windows please do. A good way to practice is to work in Pegasus and ALT + TAB to the lessons online as you work through the exercises. Open your Pegasus mail program as shown in lesson 1 steps 1-2.

Deleting a Message that's messed up

No matter how skilled you become with electronic mail there will always be messages that you start and then decide not to send. This is simple to do. Just close the Message "1" box by clicking on the message symbol in the left corner (remember in Windows this is a hyphen in the left corner) and click on close..

MSG Close

You will be asked if to again select yes or no to cancel the message. If you change your mind and want to keep the message click on "no", or "yes" to delete the message.

Cancel

That concludes lesson 4. Click on File and then click on exit.

Contact us on any mail problems. It is important that you feel comfortable handling and managing electronic mail.
