        by their topic path.  You can show all topics, only those which
        you have joined, or only those which you have not joined.  The
        system will prompt you for which method you want when you select

        to join the topic by number, you can obtain the number from the 
        <S>how, <O>thers command (the list of those topics you have not 
        yet joined).  If the topic you select has sub-topics under it,
        you will have to option of joining those sub-topics as well at
