Lab 1
Part 7

Finishing up and shutting down

Submitting your work

At the end of most labs, you will be asked to send your results from one or more exercises to cs111@princeton.edu through email. While you should certainly include all of the required submissions, do not hesitate to send other interesting results or comments on the labs.

This week, we would like you to submit the text of an email message you have received. To get such a message, start pine again, open your inbox and select one of the messages there. Then use the mouse to highlight the text and choose "Copy" from the "Edit" menu. Finally, using either pine or Netscape, start a new mail message and paste that text into the message body.

Remember these things as you compose your message:

• If you're using Netscape Mail, be sure that your identity is set correctly (as explained previously)
• If you're using pine, you may be experiencing mouse difficulties. Although you can highlight and copy text from your telnet window, you cannot use the mouse to select where you would like to paste it. Once you've begun your new message, use the arrow keys to move to the message body and then select paste from the Edit menu.
• The subject of your message should follow the format "LAB 1 - Your Name".
• Make any additional comments or observations at the top of the message and then sign it with your name.

Transferring saved work

Many times, during these labs, you will save files to the Desktop or elsewhere on the hard drive of a lab computer. Because these computers are public and not meant for private storage, however, you cannot rely on this to save your work. Not only will it be difficult to try to use the same computer every week, but other students and technicians are likely to erase your files to free up space.

For these reasons, if there are files you wish to (or are instructed to) save from week to week, you should transfer them to your Unix Account using the instructions given for Netscape ftp.

This week there are no files that you need to save.

Logging off of Windows NT

If you've completed the lab, sent your email to cs111@princeton.edu and transferred your work to your Unix account, then you are finished and ready to log off of Windows NT. Choose either of the following ways to do this:

• Select "Shut Down" from the Start Menu. Then choose "Close all programs and log on as a different user" and click on "OK"
  --OR--
• Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and choose "Logoff..." then choose "OK"
