From Login to OpenWindows on a Sun

The following summarizes the commands to log in on a Sun workstation, bring up OpenWindows (X Windows) operating system interface, open a command tool window and/or an Epoch window.

• godel (or cantor, or gauss, or galileo) login: username

• password: 1234567 (enter your password)

• godel [guest]: openwin (install OpenWindows)

• Once you are in OpenWindows, you can get help on just about anything pertaining to built-in OpenWindows applications by moving the mouse so that the arrow points to that part of the display you are interested in and then pressing the large Help key; the key is in the bottom left corner of the keyboard on cantor and gauss, and in the top left corner of the keyboard on godel and galileo. A pop-up window will give you information about the region the arrow was pointing to at the time Help was pressed. To remove the help window, click the left mouse button once on the pushpin or click the right mouse button on the gray square with a triangle in it located at the upper left corner of the notebook, then drag the pointer to the Quit option and left click.

• To open a command window: Locate the mouse so that the arrow appears in the background area of the screen. Click and hold the right mouse button to obtain an option menu and drag the pointer to the right and across the menu option Terms/Shells. A second menu will appear with a vertical list of available programs. Still holding the right mouse button down, position it over the option you want to select, i.e., a Command Tool. Repeat the process to open an Epoch window, found in the Edit/View option.

• To kill a graphics pop-up window generated by the Plot or Plot3D commands, position the pointer anywhere on the window (except the frame) and click the left mouse button once on the pushpin. To move a graphics window, position the pointer on the frame, click and hold the left mouse button, move the arrow by holding the button, then release it at the location desired.
