I don't understand the set-points on my programmable thermostat

My thermostat has "Heat" and "Cool" settings.

If I want the temperature in my house to be no warmer than 80°, should I set the "COOL" set-point at 80°? What should the "HEAT" set-point be?

You have set points for heat, set points for cool. Most people have day
and night settings, maybe weekend settings.

Typical heat is about 68 to 70 when occupied, 62 to 65 at night or when
not home. I have the heat come back up in the morning about 15 minutes
before I get up.

Set the cool for 80 or whatever you choose for comfort.

Different brands have different procedures so check the manual for yours.

Uhh, no, you didn't. You don't 'delete' usenet posts. You can issue a
cancel command, but, it's been abused so much, most (nearly all) usenet
servers no longer honour it.

Hmmm. I most certainly don't understand how I can access a copy of a
zip file but then not be able to unzip it so I can watch it. That
seems VERY clever!
