command line fan fiction program?

[Al Sten-Clanton]

Any tips for getting around archives.org?  Somebody recommended it to me 
a few weeks ago, so I gave it a quick shot.  I was looking for old-time 
radio stuff.  I failed to find anything, for all the crawling around I 
did.  I'll therefore be grateful for any pointers on using it.
