MAKING PURCHASES
-
MEMBERSHIP - At present you can not obtain membership in the National Coalition of Free Men through the use of a credit card or by using the "donation" button. If you have a bank account at a U.S.A. bank, you may pay for a membership by either using a money order or a personal check.
If you live outside of the United States and you do NOT have a U.S. bank account you must purchase your membership with a money order made out in United States currency. We are unable to deal with any money other than U.S. currency. Banks in the United States charge fees for handling foreign currency that are way beyond anything we would feel comfortable charging you to join.
ONLINE DONATION - Click on the button for Network For Good and follow the instructions. Network For Good services organizations who are legally registered with the Internal Revenue Service in the United States.
Donations through Network For Good can only be used for donating. You can not purchase a membership through this method. To join you must send a check ($30.00 USA) to NCFM, PO Box 582023, Minneapolis, MN 55458-2023.
Network For Good charges $3.00 to process a donation. This simply covers their costs. You can pay this fee yourself or you can permit it to be automatically deducted from whatever you donate.
PURCHASING MERCHANDISE
There are two means by which purchases are made through the NCFM web site:
1)- Affiliate Programs. NCFM is registered with several merchants who offer organizations a commission for selling their products. Amazon.com is one such merchant. DealNerd.com is another example. Our ID at DealNerd is 8432.
Deal Nerd is a consumer union based on a multi-level marketing program. By signing up under NCFM, NCFM will receive a percentage of your purchase. You, in turn, can sign up other people and receive a percentage of their purchases - and NCFM will get something too. The best part is receiving rebates offered by individual merchants. You do not have to sign up anyone to profit from this. In addition, special offers are available that will enable you to earn cash quite apart from the multi-level marketing plan. It costs nothing to sign up and participate.
There is never a requirement to give credit card information until you are ready to make a purchase.
2)- Purchase direct from NCFM. In order to accept credit cards every seller on the internet must have a merchant account. NCFM uses Pay Pal. Recently Pay Pal expanded its services to include the ability to make a purchase using a credit card. In the old days shoppers were required to deposit funds with Pay Pal before they could buy things on the internet. You can still use this method if you want. But this is no longer required. When you use your credit card you will be asked to register with Pay Pal. Today the system is no different or more complicated than making a purchase through any other large merchant, such as Amazon.
When you use Pay Pal in the NCFM General Store, National Coalition of Free Men is the merchant and all orders will be filled by us. Note that we provide you with the choice of not using a credit card. You can send us a check through the U.S. mail if you wish (click on "Order - Send Check"). Major credit cards accepted are Master Charge, Visa, Discover and American Express.
In addition, if you wish, Pay Pal will allow you to create an electronic check.
USING FRAMES
-
ALL INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON NETSCAPE.
When first entering the NCFM web site look at the oval menu on the left and click on, "Use Frames". Frames are considered by many to be a superior navagation tool. At NCFM we provide a flexibility for using Frames that you will find at very few other sites. To learn more, click on one of the following or just scroll down:
Frames vs Text home page.
Resizing a frame.
Saving the contents of a file.
Printing a file.
Viewing the contents of a file.
Downloading files from the World Wide Web and uncompressing them.
File Format and different word processors
DISPLAYING TEXT OR FRAMES HOME PAGE:
When you first enter this site you will display our text based home page. You are given the opportunity to choose to use our frames based home page, which you chose, or you wouldn't have access to this help page. A text based page is one page that covers the whole screen. A frames page divides your screen into two or more sections.
This site is designed primarily to serve those who can only use text based web sites. At the bottom of each page you are provided with a hypertext link that will allow you to return to our home page. The link at the bottom of each page will display our text based home page. We are in the process of updating these links. In some cases, clicking on a link at the bottom of this window will eliminate the frames feature. In other cases, you will display a new page in this window. Eventually, whenever you click on a link in this window, the frames feature will be eliminated.
Because you have chosen to use our frames based system, you should restrict yourself to using the hypertext provided in the window to your left. If you accidentally choose to click on the hypertext link at the bottom of a page to return to our home page, you can correct this mistake. Simply scroll down to the bottom of the framed page at your left. You will see a link that says, Home Page Frames Version. Click on this.
You can control the size of your viewing area for either the left side of your screen or the right side of your screen. Your screen is divided in two by a heavy line at your left. Move the cursor over the dividing line until it changes (into two parallel lines with an arrow coming out of each side). Click the left mouse button, hold it down and drag the boarder to either the left or the right.
USE THE SCROLL BARS at the right side of either of the two sections of your screen to move up and down the page. Click on the rectangular bar with the left mouse button. Hold it down and drag the rectangle down and then up.

TO PRINT THE CONTENTS OF A FILE:
Put the mouse inside the section of the screen you want to print. Click the left mouse button to make that section of your screen the active frame. Choose File. Choose Print Frame. You will display a dialogue box that will show you some printing options. Choose any options you want and then choose OK. The text and any graphics that you see on your screen will print. Note: Special background colors and patterns will not print. If you want that, you will have to obtain special software.
