  \textbf{Math 126\\Using Maple on a Sparc Station}
\end{center}

Start by logging on to the computer.  (If you have made any changes
in the default setup, you will need to
 adjust the following instructions to your
setup.)  
 When you see several windows (cmdtool, File Manager, Help Viewer), 
put the mouse cursor on the background, click right, pull out the
\textbf{Programs} menu, then click on \textbf{Command Tool}.  A 
command tool (a window in which you can type commands) will pop up. 
Place the cursor in the command tool window and click left.  This will
make the command tool your active window.  You should see a black 
triangle after the prompt.  After the prompt, give the command:

\medskip
cd Private
\medskip

\noindent
 followed by a return to change to your Private directory, then the command

\medskip
mkdir math126
\medskip

\noindent
 followed by a return.
This creates a directory (Unix terminology for a folder)
 called math126 in your Private
directory.  The reason for doing this is to make sure that 
you are the only person (other than system administrators) who can
view your course work.

 
Now give the command 

\medskip
cd math126
\medskip

\noindent followed by a return to change to your math126 directory,
 then the command

\medskip
netscape \&
\medskip


\noindent
followed by a return.
(The \& makes the command run in background; from your point of view, 
this means that it is running but not tying up your command tool.)
In Netscape, go to the course directory:

\medskip
http://www.nd.edu/$\sim$nancy/Math126/info.html
\medskip

\noindent
Then click on  Maple, then Maple
Assignments,
then Assignment 1.  A dialogue box will pop up asking you where 
to save it.  If you have followed these directions, clicking on OK 
will save it as

\medskip
Private/math126/assign\_1.mws
\medskip

\noindent
which is what you want to do.
Now go back to the command tool.  (Click left in it.)  Give the
command:

\medskip
xmaple \&
\medskip

\noindent
Maple will start.  In Maple, click left on File, then on Open,   then
 in
the dialogue box  on
assign\_1.mws then on OK.  
You will be asked if you want to update it to Maple 6.
Click Yes if you expect to do the whole assignment with Maple 6, 
and otherwise click No.   The Assignment 1 worksheet will open.  
Now you can begin work on it.  

To help you with the assignment, use the handout \emph{How to Use
  Maple Worksheets} and the handout \emph{Introduction to Maple},
which is also available on the course web site as both a web page
and a Maple worksheet.  (The worksheet has the advantage that 
you can try things out in it.)  There are also help worksheets for 
some specific topics on the Maple web page, under Maple Help, 
and there are specific hints for the assignment under Hints for Maple 
Assignments. 

Be sure to save your work when you are done.  Then click in the
triangle
in the upper left corner and then on Quit.  Now go into the
background,
click right, then click on \textbf{Exit}.  At the prompt, give the
command 

\medskip
logout
\medskip

\noindent
followed by a return.  After this, you should see a new login prompt.
