UCI ICS 80W, Homework 1

Week of 26-30 June 1995

By 30 June, you and all members of your team are expected to be able to do all the things outlined below. We will do the formal check-off on Thursday and Friday (29-30 June.)

The first thing to do is to read this entire assignment before beginning work on any part of it.


Basic skills you will need on the Macintosh:

World-Wide Web via Netscape
You should be able to handle (and understand) the nine picture-buttons along the top of the Netscape window, as well as the following features accessible through Netscape's menus.

The most important things here are

  1. to become familiar with the various options,
  2. to start building your own personal bookmark list, and
  3. to be able to use the Open Location fluently.
NOTE: You must position the mouse inside type-in windows such as Open Location and Find use. You can click the mouse or use the arrows to reposition the cursor within the window, but (beware) the Macintosh delete key deletes to the left of where the cursor is within the window. So to edit strings in type-in windows, one typically must use a button click or arrow keys to position the cursor to the left of where the insertion is to be made or to the right of a desired deletion.)

Preserving and Restoring your Netscape Environment
You should be able to locate your Global History, Bookmarks.html, and Netscape Preferences files, and be able to move them in both directions between the Macintosh's Netscape Preferences directory (the System Preferences Netscape folder) and your floppy disk.
Fetch
You should know how to transfer files both ways between the Macintosh and your account on clyde.ics.uci.edu You should be familiar with choosing the directory for the source and destination files in both places.
NCSA Telnet
You should be able to connect and login to clyde.ics.uci.edu
