Sending Mathematica Notebook Files From Macintosh to the Suns

When using the notebook feature of Mathematica on the Macintosh systems available in Bell Hall 130, these files can be sent to your banach directory on the Sun network.

First, save your Mathematica Notebook file on the Macintosh desktop. Then go to the Launcher menu and click on Internet. Then click on Fetch 2.1.2. An Open Connection box will appear. Under Host, enter math.utep.edu and then enter the user ID and password that you use on the Sun Network System in the designated areas. It is not necessary to enter any information on directory, but if you know the Sun directory in which you wish to store this file, you can enter it. For example, /home/banach/name/mathica could be a possible directory to store your new Mathematica file.

After the items in the Open Connection window have been entered, click on Ok. Your banach directory from the Sun Workstation will appear in the Fetch: math.utep.edu window. You are now able to open the directory in which you wish to store the Macintosh file by double clicking on it. Next, click on the put file button to tell the computer to put your Macintosh file into this directory on the Sun Workstation. Now, the computer will ask which Macintosh file you wish to save in your Sun directory. Since you stored it on the Macintosh desktop, click on Desktop, then click on the name of the file, and then click Open. If the Macintosh file is saved somewhere other than the desktop, find the file and click on it. Now, the following window appears:

Save file on math.utep.edu as:

Here, you enter the name under which you wish to store the file. Note that you must double check the extension of the file. For example, normally mathematica files to be used on the Suns must have a .nb or .m extension. Also, under Format, make sure that Text appears. Now click on Ok. Now your Macintosh Mathematica Notebooks file is saved in your banach directory on the Sun System. To exit Fetch, go to the top on the main screen on the Macintosh and go to File, and select the Quit option.

Now, to access this file on the Sun Network, type the command mathematica on any command tool line and Mathematica Notebooks will open. Then go to File, select the Open option and enter the file you wish to open. Similarly, the notebook files can be accessed by going to File and choosing Notebooks and choosing the notebook you wish to open.
