Jocke,

Thanks for the reply...

I forgot to mention that I am not yet connected with ppp, so i
presume this won't work yet.

Does that leave me then with dselect as the only option to
procede?  dselect works but I have not managed to find the way to
tell it how to get the man-db or emacs etc.  Can that be done
from there?
