(2) Read the instructions on how to use Pine E-Mail and its editor (=online word processor) called Pico.
(3) Make a summary note card for yourself about the Pico editor commands you'll be needing. Have this note card with you when we meet in the Lab.
(4) Be sure you practice each one of these operations several times:
(a) how to read your mail
(b) how to send mail (control-x)
(c) how to page down and up (control-v and control-y)
(d) how to get to the beginning and end of a long message (control-w then control-y for going to the beginning and, control-w then control-v for going to the end)
(e) how to find a word or string(control-w)
(f) how to spell check a message you composed(control-t)
(g) how to add names to your address book
(h) how to change options(see Options/Config off the main menu)
(i) how to navigate between folders and how to change file names
(j) how to send yourself a copy of a message(use the CC: line)
(k) how to forward a message to someone (f)
(l) how to insert a file in a message (control-r)
(m) how to delete a message (d)
(n) how to export one or more messages to a single file (e)
(o) how to read Newsgroups in Pine (set Options: its.hawaii.edu)
(p) how to save or forward a Newsgroup message (s or r)
(q) how to copy/paste text from your word processor into a Pine message, and vice versa.
(r) how to delete a line (control-k)
(s) how to select several lines and deleting (control-shift-^, shade, then control-k, and optionally, control-u for pasting--if needed).
(5) Now in order to get prepared for later, do 60 minutes of surfing with Netscape. Do not skip this exercise, or you'll be very sorry later.
Now create a signature file for your Pine e-mail:
(1) while in Pine, type control-z again.
(2) At the uhunix prompt, type the command: "pico .signature" (that's: pico space dot signature and there is no space between the dot and the s). You'll be given an editor window. Type in whatever you want that should automatically show at the bottom of all your e-mail messages (usually your first and last name and a logo line or drawing, and/or your favorite quotation--take a look at other people's for ideas!). You can always change it at any time, so for now, type whatever, and save it with control-x and then just return when it shows the correct file name which should be ".signature").
(3) Go back into Pine by typing "fg" at the unix prompt, and send yourself a message (type: c for compose a message). You'll see the contents of your .signature file automatically placed at the bottom of all your messages in Pine. Note: You can change or edit your .signature file any time with the command: "pico .signature" which you type at the unix prompt.
(1) Give the compose command ("c") in Pine and type in the tile of your favorite song or movie. Type in your address at the "To" line (meaning: your login name, then hit return).
(2) When you receive it (a few minutes later), look at it, then export it (meaning: while your message is on the screen, type "e" for the export command) and type in its new file name which should be "export1" and save it.
(3) Now exit Pine with the command control-"z". At the unix prompt, type "dir" (for directory) or "ls" (for list) -- try both to see the differences.
(4) You'll see the name of the export1 file that you just exported and named. Now give the command "pico export1" and you'll see the contents of the file you e-mailed to yourself and then exported. Now you can do anything with it. Type in another favorite song or move. Exit save (type control"x") and now type "dir" again at the unix prompt, and you'll see the export1 file is still there. It won't go away until you delete the file.
(1) In Pine, type "m" (for main screen), then "a" (for address book) then "a" (for add).
(2) You get a screen where you can type in each class member's e-mail name separated by commas.
(3) Now type in Dr. James's e-mail ("leon").
(4) Now type in your own e-mail name (your login name).
(5) Now it asks you for the nickname--so type "459" (for our course number). Now save-exit (control-x).
(6) Now in order to get prepared for later, do 60 minutes of surfing with Netscape. Do not skip this exercise, or you'll be very sorry later.
(2) Delete whatever is there (control-k), then type a paragraph addressed to your fellow G6 and share with them (a) your background and future plans; and (b) how you're doing so far with these exercises--some of your thoughts, some of your feelings, and where you're having problems if any, or where you're having success, if any.
(3) Exit-save it again (control-"x") and go back to Pine (type "fg" at the uhunix prompt). In Pine, type "c" (for compose) and address it to the class list you created in Part 4 (In the "To:" line, type the "459" nickname you created (in Part 4), and Pine will automatically print all the names for you).
(4) In the "Subject" line, type your first name followed by your last name (in that order, and nothing else).
(5) Put your cursor on the first line of the body of the message, and just automatically insert the contents of the "export1" file, by typing control-"r" (meaning: read in a file), at which Pine asks you the name of the file, so type "export1" and return.
(6) Pine will automatically insert that file which contains your message to the whole class. Send it off to the class list (type "459" in the "To:" line). You'll be getting a copy since your name is on the class list you created.
Note: Congratulations, you've now entered the online world by creating a message in cyberspace in a digital format which MAY live for hundreds or thousands of years!! This is because once you send something through digital cyberspace you lose control over it. Even if you delete your original copy or ask people to delete all copies, there still may be copies somewhere in cyberspace stations through which your message was relayed, or in somebody's database who has (illegally) captured your message as it is sent through network relay stations. So be warned--there is no real privacy in digital cyberspace! ((Maybe that's not such a bad thing--as long as we know it in advance. Let's discuss it in class.))
(1) At the uhunix prompt type "dir" and look at your file listing. Now create a new file called "practice1" by typing "pico practice1" (that's: pico space practice1 (no space before the 1).
(2) type the sentence "This is practice1 file." Save-exit.
(3) type "dir" and you can see the new file you just created.
(4) repeat steps 1 to 3 by creating another file called "practice2"
(5) at the uhunix prompt, now type "mkdir practice" (that's: mkdir space practice). When you hit return, unix creates a new directory. Give the "dir" command and you'll see it.
(6) Now move the two files practice1 and practice2 into the new directory you created, by giving the command "mv practice1 practice2 practice (meaning: move files "practice1" and "practice2" into the directory called "practice").
(7) Now give the "dir" command, and the two practice files don't show any more, only the directory called "practice" Now change directory into the practice directory to see the files there, by typing "cd practice" (meaning: change into the directory called "practice"). Now give the "dir" command and you'll see the two files there.
(8) Now type "cd" (meaning: change directory and go back to the root directory) and hit return. Type "dir" and you see what's there.
Now you know how to create directories and move files across them.
(9) Now create a second new directory called "window" then create a file called "dishes.html" and type in the names of three of your favorite dishes to eat. Exit-save, then move it into the "window" directory (see step 6) if it's not there already. Now type "cd window" to get into the window directory. Now give the "dir" command.
(10) Now type "cd" to get to the main rood directory. Now type "cd practice" to get into the practice directory. Now type "dir" Now delete the two files called "practice1" and "practice2" then go back to root by typing "cd" and then delete the directory called "practice" by typing "rmdir practice". Give the "dir" command and you'll see it is gone, but "window" is still there.
Now you know most of the unix file management commands you'll need for this class.
(11) Now in order to get prepared for later, do 60 minutes of surfing with Netscape. Do not skip this exercise, or you'll be very sorry later.
Note: get into the habit of observing what the computer is doing: watch the fields that tell you what's happening (bottom left) -- when it's looking up an address, when it's dialing the telephone line or "Connecting...", when it's waiting for the request, when it gets in, how long it takes to load, what the address structure is--whether .com or .edu or .org, what location, how large the file is, whether there are backgrounds, etc.. You should observe all of these. In other words, be very active in your participation.
(2) Create your own bookmarks.htm file as follows:
(a) In your word processor create a file called bookmarks.htm and save it in "Text" format on your diskette.
(b) Now in Netscape, under the Window menu, select Bookmarks, then under the file menu, select Open Bookmarks File, and find it on your diskette. This is called loading your own bookmarks file. Always load your own bookmarks.htm file each time you're using Netscape!! This means of course, that you need to have your diskette with you. This practice will save you lots of frustration and unnecessary work.
(c) Use the "Add Bookmark" command in Netscape to keep track of where you've been, and to be able to go back anywhere. It only takes a second to give the Add Bookmarks command, and it's well worth it!! Once your bookmarks.htm file is loaded, you can use your mouse to Add Bookmarks--very convenient.
Remember: whenever you use Netscape, first load your bookmarks.html file (step 2b above) otherwise they will not be added to your diskette file and you won't have them when you need them.
(3) Go to one of the many search engines (see "Internet Search" under the Directory Menu). Type in various subjects that interest you as well as the names of places, people, and companies, and see what happens. Each time come back and do it again and again with different search terms, until you get tired. You'll need a minimum of 10 hours of surfing in cyberspace before you begin to understand what's going on. Be sure to try at least 4 or 5 different search engines to see the differences.
(4) Choose a Web Page to save for later use, by mailing it to yourself:
(a) When the document you want is on the Netscape screen, select the "Mail Document" command (under the File Menu) and address it to yourself ("yourloginname@hawaii.edu"). You might need to set Options for Mail--see lab attendant if you have problems with this.
(b) Go to Pine a few minutes later and see the document you mailed on your screen. You can forward it to classmates and friends (only if you want to), by typing "f" (for forward) when it's on your screen. Or, if you prefer, you can export it to your directory for later use (type "e" for export and the name of a file to save it in). Or, you can just hit "d" to delete it.
(5) Now practice saving an icon. When you see a picture you'd like to save on your diskette, and you feel that the picture is not copyrighted or proprietary, then place your mouse arrow on it, hold the mouse-click down and choose "Save This Image." Give it a name that ends with .gif to show it's an icon and indicate your diskette as the location. Once it's on your diskette, upload the .gif file to your icons sub-directory on the CSS server (see Part 7 below for Uploading instructions). Now you can use it in one of your files whenever you want to.
Warning: Only images that are not already on the CSS server should be copied to your directory. Follow these steps to find out:
(a) In Netscape, go to this address: www.soc.hawaii.edu/~leonj/ (note the ~ before the leonj). Now you'll see two directories marked "icons". Click on each, then click on any icon you want to see on the screen. Add it to your bookmarks.htm file: this will be the address you'll need when you want the icon to show on one of your Pages.
(b) Now do the same with the other icons files at this address: /leonj/leonj/leonpsy/
and save whatever address you want to your bookmarks.htm file. Note that all you're saving is the address location which tells Netscape where on the CSS server to look for when you put the address of an icon on your own Page.
(c) Now click the directories of students for the various years and generations at this address: /~leonj/leonj/ and see what icons they have.
(d) When you want an icon not yet on the CSS server, you'll need to give the Save This Image As... command (see Part 5 above) and this is different from the Add Bookmarks command--the latter is only an address.
Warning: Only those images that are not copyrighted or proprietary can be Saved and copied from a Web Page. It's against the law to copy other people's art work or logo (without written permission), but there are plenty of public domain icons you are allowed to copy. You can also create your own icons using drawing software--it's fun! You can also scan in any photograph--see the lab attendant for location of scanners.
(6) Now organize your bookmarks.htm file.
(a) In Netscape, choose Bookmarks under the Window menu. If your own bookmarks.htm file is not the current one, you need to open it first under the File menu, so it's the current one.
(b) Now create a new folder for each category (e.g., students, icons, personal, driving, search engines, etc.), using the Insert Folder command under the Item menu.
(c) Now drag each address into the proper folder.
Note: You can open each bookmark entry by giving the Edit Bookmark command under the Item menu. You can change its title or add explanations. You can also alphabetize entries within each folder, or change their order by dragging. You can also duplicate items so you can keep copies within several folders.
(1) When you see the uhunix prompt on your screen (logon if not), give the "dir" command and you'll see the "window" directory you created.
(2) Now (without quitting or closing anything) start the ftp software (ask lab monitor if you can't find it) and type in the uhunix address "its.hawaii.edu" and type in your ID login name and your password. Erase all other fields so they're blank. Now click OK.
(3) When connected, you'll see your own files. Change into the "window" directory and you'll see your file "dishes.htm". Select it and then give the "get file" command (meaning: get that file for me so I can download it to my diskette). Now your ftp software will ask you where you want to put it. Indicate your diskette (get help from lab attendant if you're having trouble with this). Now a copy of the file "dishes.html" which you created earlier with Pico, is on your diskette.
(4) Leaving uhunix and ftp still online (never quit anything!! or close any windows!!), start the word processor, and open the file "dishes.htm" (or else: "dishes.html") which is on your diskette now. Now you see the three dishes you typed in. Now add three of your favorite TV shows.
(5) Now give the "Save As" command and you get a dialog box. Now change the "format" setting from "Normal" to "Text" or "Text Only"--this step is very important. Save the file but don't quit the word processor.
(6) Now go back to ftp software and login into the CSS server(not the uhunix server) by typing in the address "www.soc.hawaii.edu" and the ID as "459ss97" and the password as "spsy459s" (which is the same for everyone).
(7) When you're logged in create a new directory using the ftp software menu command, and call it exactly the same as your uhunix login name. Now give the "change directory" command using the ftp software menu command, and go into your own directory that you just created. Here is where you'll be uploading all your class reports and your Home Page.
(8) Check to see that you're in your own directory (on the ftp software dialog box). Now give the "upload" command and choose the file "dishes.htm" on your diskette. When it's up-loaded, give the "show directory" command and you'll see your file there. Congratulations, you've just published your first Web Page on the World Wide Web!! It's there. Want to see it?
(9) Without closing anything, start Netscape, and type in the URL address www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/459ss97 and hit return. Netscape will take you to that address and show you the 459ss97 directory for G6. Double click on your own sub-directory, then on your file dishes.htm, and you'll see what the whole world can now see--your favorite dishes and TV shows!! Now look at the address window and add it to your bookmarks.htm file. It will look like this
www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/459ss97/yourloginname/dishes.htm
Notice the elements of this URL address:
(a) www.soc.hawaii.edu This is the CSS server address.
(b) /leonj/ This is a sub-directory on the CSS server.
(c) /459ss97/ This is our class sub-directory
(d) /yourloginname/ This is the sub-directory you created
(e) dishes.htm This is one of the files in your directory.
Note: So now you know how to upload and download from both the uhunix server (where your e-mail account is), and the CSS server (where your World Wide Web Page is). Now if you want to remove your Page or change it, go right ahead. Just change the file on your diskette in the word processor, then upload the new version. If you keep the same name, the new version will automatically replace the old. (If you want to remove it from the server: go back to ftp software, go into your directory, select your file, and give the "delete file" command on the ftp software menu line.
WARNING: be sure you never delete somebody else's file by mistake, so it's imperative you check to see you really are in your own sub-directory, not somebody else's (it shows on top of the ftp dialog box). This is the honor system, hence it calls for extra responsibility for each other. O.K.?
ADDITIONAL WARNING: You must keep a copy of all your files on 2 separate diskettes. Accidents have happened in the past, and you don't want to have to redo everything!!!!!!
home.html home2.html generations.html report1.html
template.html
|
report2.html newsgroups.html magazine.html bookmarks.html
icons
|
Now follow these steps:
(1) In your word processor, create each of the 7 files, and save them in "Text" format on your diskette. No need to type anything in the files for right now. Now the 8 files are on your diskette, plus the bookmarks.htm file that was already there.
(2) Now use ftp software to upload the 8 files from your diskette to your CSS directory--be sure you're in your own directory before giving the upload command, or else you'll be automatically replacing someone else's files with yours!!. After uploading is complete, you can see the files on your ftp directory.
(3) Now look at each file in Netscape by giving this address:
www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/459ss97/yourloginname/
and you'll see your own directory on the Web. Click on each file to look at them in turn (use the Back button in Netscape to return, or use the Go menu). Add each address to your bookmarks.htm file on your diskette (be sure it's loaded on first). Of course, all 7 files will be empty right now.
(4) Now go to this address in Netscape: www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/459ss97/samples/template.html
This is the template file each one of you will use to make up all your other files. Later, you can change the entire appearance of all your files to make them look like you want. But to start with, everyone will use this template file. Now you need to copy the source of this file as follows:
(5) Give the "Save As..." command from the File menu. You get a dialog box. Change the setting under Format to "Source" then call the file "D/template.html", (meaning: save the Source file on my diskette in drive D--if you have trouble with this part, ask the lab monitor).
(6) Now, without closing anything, open this template file on your diskette in the word processor, and change the necessary parts to reflect your name, etc. Save it on your diskette in "text" format. The name of the file is still "template.html" or "template.htm"
(7) Without closing (but after saving in "Text" format), go to Netscape and under the File menu give the command Open File in Browser and in the dialog box that comes up choose your template.htm file on your diskette. Now you can see if you want to make changes. Go back to your word processor and make the changes. Now be sure to save again. Now go to Netscape and click on the Reload button. Now you see the latest changes. Do this until satisfied. (Note: the images and links will not work--since your file is on the diskette, only the text).
(8) Now upload the template.htm file from your diskette to your own directory on the CSS server. Your old template.htm file will be automatically replaced by the new version. Now go to Netscape and view the latest version of your template.htm file. The address will be on your bookmarks.htm file (and if not, be sure to add it):
www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/459ss97/yourloginname/template.htm
Now you can test all your links and icons addresses to make sure it works. If you need to change, go back to your diskette file in your word processor, change, and upload, then view in Netscape--repeat until all is just right.
(9) Now go to the G6 class Home Page at:
www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/leonpsy6/g6sthomes.html
and click on your name. If it doesn't work, send e-mail to Dr. James (leon@hawaii.edu). Add the address to your bookmarks.htm file. Now click on the other students' names and see how far they've gotten.
www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/leonj/leonpsy/leon.html
Add it to your bookmarks.htm file.
(2) Systematically explore the 18 Links on his Page and take notes to summarize each one.
(a) As you go along, add each of the 18 links to your bookmarks.htm file on your diskette. Open your word processor, create a file called generations.htm (or .html) and save it in "Text" format.
(b) Now clicking back and forth between it and Netscape, type in a summary of your reactions for each of the 18 Links. When you finish, you will have 18 numbered paragraphs, one for each Link, and an explanation for each, which should include:
(i) a clickable Title for the Page to take you there directly (Remember: all links must be relative, i.e., they start with "../../"--they may NOT start with "http://"
(ii) your description of the content of the Page (what it's about), and what its purpose is, as far as you can tell; and
(iii) your evaluation of the Page (useful/interesting and why).
Note: Some of the Pages are articles, some are Pages that lead to other Pages. So you need to click your way through until you come to the end of the chain to see all that is under each Link.
(3) In your generations.htm file, be sure all your paragraphs are separated by <p>
(4) Now you must spell check your document (this is required).
(5) Now you must check it in Netscape, and change whatever needs to be changed.
(6) Now upload the file to your directory on the CSS server.
(7) Now check it in Netscape, making sure all links work--or repeat the process till it's perfect.
(8) Go to the G6 class home page and choose 4 students and go to their generations.html file, which should have the title "Generational Curriculum". After reading each one, click on the e-mail button and change the address to "459-l@hawaii.edu". In the Subject line, type the student's first and last name (and nothing else). Now type in your reactions to the student's generations.html file, and sign it with your first name and last name. The entire class will receive your messages.
Important Hint: You don't need to be online or in the Lab to use Netscape (get a free copy for your home computer--go to Keller Hall Help Desk and bring 3 formatted diskettes). You'll be able to work your word processor and your browser at the same time at home without being online.
So you might want to bring home on your diskette various Home Pages you like to study in leisure. This is highly recommended, so do it!! Also, this way you can preview all your own html reports and Pages at home, while you're working on them--very, very handy!! But: the links cannot be tested this way, so you'll need to test them online (either from home, if you have a modem, or else, in any campus Lab).
and type in "road rage" on one search, and "aggressive drivers" on another search, later. Have your word processor open on a file called newsgroups.htm on your diskette. When you're reading the first one, click on Thread, and DejaNews will show you the entire set of messages in that topic. Go through them all, starting from the top or earliest and following the thread downward.
(2) Use a copy/paste technique to go back and forth between Netscape and the word processor so you can have copies of the message and its headers (date, name, newsgroup, etc.). Keep track of those messages that affect you in some way, as evidence of how drivers think about the topic.
(3) Go to G5 reports at
www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/leonj/leonpsy5/g5sthomes409b.html
Click on 3 students and read their Report 1 which was on their Newsgroups experience. Copy/paste whatever you want to and be sure you also copy/paste the address so you can link to it--but you must make the link relative to look like this: "../../leonj/409bs97/gacierto/gaciertoreport1.html"
(4) Finish writing up your newsgroups report and insert the html code using the template.htm file. Look at it in Netscape, and when ready, upload it to your CSS directory.
(5) Look at it online in Netscape and test all the links.
