Please, someone explain links like this "news:hjLXl.
..." Everyone has so far used in
there reply. I assume there is information in these links if I would
be told how to use them. Without that, the replies I am getting are
just not enough data to do anything at all with.

Don't worry your little head about those links; they're put there by the
news client (aka newsreader, email program, etc.) of the person
replying, and are links to these messages on some system. Generally
they're useless, so just ignore them.

The other links in these messages, though, like
http://www.repairfaq.org, are clickable links. Click on them and you'll
be magically transported to that web site.

However, I see now that you're using Google Groups to read these
messages. (This is *NOT* a Google Groups group; it's a Usenet newsgroup,
which long predates Google's ****ed-up implementation of a sorry-ass web
interface to a long-standing information interchange medium). So you may
have to copy and paste those links into your browser (aka web program)
to use them.

You'll figure it out.
