The section I sent the other day was *it*.  There is no such use, other
than in a modifying form.

CD. I still have to dance through a number of hoops to download it,
edit it, and upload it to mail, but they are no comparison to the mess
of having to type it all.

To be honest, I prefer the paper version, though, for simple searching,
as it takes me about as long, and is, to me, easier to use (none of that
stupid "page down" button pushing).
