On my version of the AOL software, it is under the Go To menu
as the Keyword... item (Control-K).  Just copy and paste the above
keyword.

Note: although you can find the AOL access software for the
Apple II in the file area of the AOL Apple II Forum, AOL
has disabled log on from it (the Apple II AOL software).  ;-(

However, it is good for nostalgic value.

Still, please do join the forum.  The software library is still there
with great PD/Shareware/Freeware files from 1996 and the
chat room is fully functional.  I've been trying to organize
AOL users to come to the chat room at 10 Eastern Time but
so far, it remains empty.

I still think that every AOL based Apple II user should add
this forum to their list of "favorite places."
