   :cool As a newbie am totally confused by much computer terminology. The other
   
   day I ran into the term "ImHost file" and "word/rtf". Are these some kind of
   
   programming terms? If not, what do they mean and what are they used for?
   
   I tried googling them but come up with more jibberish. Thanks in advance.

   rtf means Rich Text Format and the universally accepted way to send a document/text file so that people who do not have an Office Program installed can read what you email. The other way is to send something as a pdf. rtf files can be edited a bit easier than pdf so I generally send text files in that format.
   
   I know IM and I know Hosts File but I do not know what an "imhostfile" is.

   Think humblejohn might be referring to the "Lmhosts.sam" file. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lmhosts.sam.
