st: Re: xtpmg installation

It is, nevertheless, useful to get your Proxy Settings correctly  
established for on-campus use, as otherwise simple commands like
'webuse foo' will not work either. Furthermore you will be unable to  
readily establish whether you have the latest version of user-written  
routines using -adoupdate-, and waiting until you can do this off- 
campus may waste time. Under Preferences->Internet, click 'connect  
through a proxy server' and enter the appropriate URL and port number  
given by your IT staff.

Best wishes
