    Take nothing on faith :-)

But I did find out what a ascii enclosed file is and a sample should be 
in the instructions. I was not aware it is 15 lines of code. I was 
putting in the 8 bit short ID and the web page barfed.

    Here is what I would like to see in the join instructions.

You say that this is what you send to a server. I was surprised that the 
file was put in the "clipboard" by seahorse and the file was paste to 
the MIT web page on Firefox. This step needs some more help because you 
need to make sure the paste goes to the right window on the web page.
