The commands used to understand UNIX.

HTML Commands. These were the tools I really needed in order to survive in Dr. James class.

UNIX commands:

pico-is where you make a file and put it onto Netscape.

pico.signature file-where you put a signature at the end of the messages that you send by e-mail. In your directory in Uhunix, the file will appear as .signature, so the change or modify the .signature, you give the command pico .signature.

cd-change directory. Example, if you are in a directory and want to go into another directory you need to give the command cd file name.

cp-copy. Example, if you want to make a copy of a file or anything, you need to give the command cp the file you want to copy and than put a space and give the file another name. If I wanted to cp report1.html to 1.html, would write down cp report1.html 1.html .

pwd-print working directory.

dir-directory.

%?-list of commands will be listed.

rm-remove a file (rm file name).

rmdir-remove directory (rmdir file name).

ls al-list all files.

ls -al-list all files giving all information. This shows if your files are made public or not.

mkdir-make directory (mkdir directory name).

mv-move (mv file name).

pico.signature file-where you can create a signature at the end of your messages when you send e-mail. This signature file will come out automatically whenever you send a message by e-mail. Yes, you can modify and change it at anytime using pico siganture.file at your UHUNIX prompt.

telnet-used at the UHUNIX prompt when you want to which servers. Example, you can telnet into your CSS account by inputting telnet www.soc.hawaii.edu.

Publicizing your documents:

At the prompt (%) type in: chmod a+x ~username (your ~login name)-Used to publicize or make your login name visual to other people.

At the prompt (%) type in: chmod a+x ~username (your ~login name)/public_html-used or make your public_html directory visual to others when they type in your URL address.

At the prompt (%) type in: chmod 755 filename (your file name that you want publicized)-used when you want to make your file visual to others.

The following commands should be between < >.

A HREF="..." -- this is used to make a link. ABSOLUTE LINKS are DEFINE BY A HREF="http:// [with the address]" and RELATIVE LINKS are DEFINE by A HREF="../ [and the rest of the address].

What you should know is that with relative links ../ means going back one directory from the directory that you're currently in. Absolute links deal with inputting the entire address starting with http://.

A NAME -- This is used to create an ANCHOR LINK. You would place this in the beginning of the paragraph that you would like the link to go straight to.

A HREF="# -- this link is created to link up with your anchor link. When using anchor links, remember the address has to include the # sign. If you create an anchor link with a report and you want the link on top of the report, you just need to put A HREF="#[the word or words you used after A NAME=]" on the top of the frist page of the report and make sure you put in a reference word, words, phrases, and/or anything so you can see and recognize that this is a link.

/A -- this is the end the link.

head and title-- this is what will be read on the top of Netscape. It needs to look like head within < > no space title within < >.

html -- format of the commands. This is needed at the very top of your page.

font size= -- put +1, +2, +3 for the size of font to be bigger.

P -- means paragraph. Will return in double spaace.

BR -- means to return once.

The following should come right after the command html.

body background="___" -- if you have your bcakgrounds in a directory called images or something else. You need to put "images/__.gif or __.jpg" __.gif or __.jpg are the file names most commonly used for graphics.

Want to make your text change color along with links?

Here's what to do. Instead of writing body background="__". Put body background="____" text="___" link="___" alink="___" vlink="__" and you will see that the text and links changed color if you change the color codes. Want to see a coded color chart? Click here.

alink -- means active link. When a link gets clicked on this color will appear.

vlink -- means visited links. When a link has been clicked on this color will appear.

body bgcolor="__" -- this is used when you use just solid colors from a color chart.

CHANGE text and links? Put body bgcolor="__" text="__" link="__" alink="__" vlink="__"; instead of just body bgcolor. Color chart is up above under click here.

b -- use to bold text.

hr -- this will put a line on the screen. Means hard line.

dd -- will tab once.

ul -- will tab all your returns once. You can put more than one ul command but remember when you want the ul (tab everything) to end you must put /ul within the < >. Okay!

li -- this will put a black ball where you place it. For example, input this li within < > and than put a href="__" and put your link name here (end it with /a). You should have a black ball and the link next to it on the right hand side.

h1 -- usually used for titles. This will automatically bold and return twice for you after you type in what you want and end it with /h1.

h1 is the biggest print. You can usse h2 and h3 but they will print out smaller than h1.

center -- this command is used to center things. But you need to end the centering with /center within < >.

Do you have images (backgrounds), lines, icons, and pictures that you want to put up on your site? Huh, so you do?!! Well all you need to do is copy it and put it into your directory by fetching it or ftp it. How do you do that? Check this site out. After you FTP or Fetch you need to put: img src="directory name/file name" if you don't have your file in a directory, you just put img src="file name". Remember the commands go between < >.

Want tables? Follow the following chart:
table border=12 cellpadding=12" within < > put a space and put center within the < >press return and put [no spaces, this line is continuous] tr within the < >th within < > img src="__" within < > /th within < > than return. Put the following: th within < > h3 within < > write something put br within < > and write again and end it with /h3 within < > and return. Put the link a href="______" within < > no space write what you want people the click onto and end the link /a within < > and put br within < > return. End the table with returning at the end of every command that follows: /th within < > /table within < > and lastly center within < >. The table should contain an image on the left and a line that separates the image from the text that is located on the right. Example in my PeRsOnAl HoMePaGe SiTe where it says Welcome to my Personal Homepage Location.

Want a table like my Cyber-Psychology Homepage. Want to see the table? Click here. Wnat it like that? Well, do the following: I put spaces between the commands within < > so you can see the table formation tags. Therefore, no spaces are needed so the command should look like .
< table border=9 cellpadding=7 border=7 bgcolor="blue or any color" >
< td >< center >< strong >Write what you Want< /td >
< tr >< td >< center >
< a href="link address you want" >< strong >___. < /a >< /td >
< tr > < td >< center >< a href="______" >< strong >______< /a >< /td >
Keep repeating the commands if needed. < /tr >< /td >< /table >
< /center >< br >< br >
