Well, the illustrious P.K.H. has provided certain, shall we say, very relevant
web urls which I consequently checked out to my delight. I guess the book I'm
after now from what I can gather is called The Third Mind which is all ABOUT
cut-up techniques by both Burroughs and Gysin. Some of the techniques described
on the website I found rather primitive compared to some cut-up stuff I've seen
by some mailartists (who will remain unnamed since he ain't on this list).
Anyways, I'd welcome other suggestions from you also Sol. Do tell.
