This report is about all my problems and sololutions dealing with my psychology 409 files
Problem #1:
What is the difference between title and heading?
One of my first problems in creating my file is knowing what is the difference between the title and the heading.Many people get confused between the two.The title is what is read by netscape and it is located in the top of the screen when you are on netscape.The title should include your name and the subject of your file.The heading is the text that is usually at the top of your file.For example: The title of this file is "Sherman Lee's REPORT2:HOW AM I DOING WITH MY FILES" and the heading which is above the devil reads "HOW AM I DOING WITH MY FILES."
Problem #2:
Why do I even need a title?
I think one of the best reasons for having a title are so search engines would be able to find your file by reading its' title because they do not read your heading.
Problem #3:
How can I change the size of my headings?
You can do this by typing in a code right before your heading.How you type in your code is determined by what size font you desire. I am not sure how far the range is but the largest is 1 and it gets smaller as the numbers get larger.When you know how large you want your font size to be all you have to do is type the letter "h" and then the number size you desire after. After that is done make sure at the end of your heading you type in the same code you did in the begining except it has a "/" mark before it.For example: "< h1 >HEADING< /h1 >" (remember not to type in any of the quotation marks that I have up and don't leave spaces between the brackets the way I did. I did this so you are able to read it!)
Problem #4:
How can I make any of my text bold or Italicized?
The code for bold is "< b >" and the code for italics is "< i >".Remember to close off all codes with the "/" mark.For example: For Bold type; "< b > BOLD < /b >" and for Italics type; "< i > ITALICS < /i >" (remember not to type in any of the quotation marks that I have up and don't leave spaces between the brackets the way I did. I did this so you are able to read it!)
Problem #5:
How can I view my e-mail?
The very first thing that you have to do is to get your UHUNIX ID.I got mine from the first floor of Keller in the computer information center.All you have to have is your UH identification card or proof of registration.They will then give you your login name and a password.This password could and should be changed as soon as possible.Keep in mind it might take 3 to 5 days for you to start because they have to process everything.Once you have everything you will first click on either a "Telnet(E-MAIL)" icon or the "WinQVTNET16" icon or a computer like icon. After you did this you will probably have many different servers to choose from (ex:Uhunix3.its.hawaii.edu) Choose anyone.if it doesn't work then that server is probably busy so try a different one.Once your in it will ask you to login. Thats when you type in your given login name, do this and press Enter when you are done.Then the next prompt will ask you for your password, type it and press Enter when you are done.When this is done successfully you will see a uhunix prompt.It is characterized by having a percentage sign at the end of it (ex:uhunix3%).Type "pine" and then press return (ex:uhunix3%pine).When this is done successfully then you will see a menu. On this menu you will choose "FOLDER LIST" and make sure you use the arrow up keys to choose this option.Press return on this option and then locate the message that you want to read.Then use the arrow keys to move the highlight bar over the message and press Enter.(Make sure when you are finished using PINE to logout.This is done by typing "logout" on the uhunix prompt.)
Problem #6:
How can I send e-mail?
You have to first go to the Main Menu in PINE.You will then choose the option "COMPOSE MESSAGE". Highlight it and press return. Then you need the e-mail address of whoever you want to send the message to.For example: My e-mail address is "shermanl@hawaii.edu". Then type in your message.When your done press the control button and the letter "x" to send the message.(Make sure when you are finished using PINE to logout.This is done by typing "logout" on the uhunix prompt.)
Problem #7:
How do I change my password and why?
First of all the password they usually give you is probably pretty hard to remember so it would be more practical if you were able to make-up your own password and secondly you want to be the only person who knows your password!On you uhunix prompt you want to type "passwd"(ex:uhunix5%passwd). The next promp will display the uhunix id that will have a password change.This will prompt yo for the old password for this account.At the old password prompt, enter your currrent password which should include a mix of numbers and words that must be at least six characters long (ex:711food) then press enter.Keep in mind that the password WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE SCREEN! When all this is done successfully then you should read this message: "NIS entry changed on nis" (NEVER LET ANYONE KNOW YOUR PASSWORD, ITS A SECRET!!!)
Problem #8:
How do I get to my CSS account?
When you are on the uhunix prompt type in "telnet www.soc.hawaii.edu" then press return(ex:uhunix4%telnet www.soc.hawaii.edu).If it didn't work the first time don't worry it always does this to me just try again!When this done successfully then you will see a different kind of prompt that will tell you to login, it should read "WWW login:" just type in your css login name.Then type in your css password on the password prompt.When all this is done successfully you should see "WWW:~$" That means your there!Now all you need to do is type in your next command.
Problem #9:
How do I indent?
Thanks to the clever Rowney Martinez I am now able to indent!All you have to do is type "< dd >" before the paragraph you want to indent.
Problem #10:
How do I make a dot signature file?
First you have to be on the uhunix prompt: "%" Then you will type "pico .signature" For exampe:"uhunix%pico .signature When all this completed all you have to do now is make one.
Problem #11:
How long did it take for me to do my psychology 409 files?
About 30 hours a week plus 200 cups of coffee!
Problem #12:
How can I make a directory and put all the common things I want in there?
First thing you do is type "mkdir" then leave a space and then type in the name you want the directory to be named.For example:" % mkdir ICONS " Then you type "mv" then leave a space and type "*"and next to it type the files common name then space and type the directory you just named.For example:" %mv *.gif ICONS " Finally type "dir" to see if it worked!
Problem #13:
How do I make a mail to button on a file?
The first thing you need to know is your e-mail address. Once you know that you can start.First you type "< code >" and after that type "< a href="mailto:YOURE-MAILADDRESS" >" Finally type your message like "Mail Goes Here!" and after close off all Your codes like "< /a >" then "< /code >" THE END!(remember not to type in any of the quotation marks that I have up and don't leave spaces between the brackets the way I did. I did this so you are able to read it!)
MAIL GOES HERE!!!
