1. How would you post to the class newsgroup?
Methods on Alcor include pine, slrn, trn, tin and nn.
The exact method varies with the newsreader selected.

2.  How do you print a file in the Hall Building?
"lpr -P lp1 filename".

3. How would you read the contents of a text file?
cat filename or any editor will do.  For instance,
"pico filename"

4. What is the function of your .cshrc?  It sets
up a certain number of automatic items when you log in.
It can be customized to do certain things such as
configure your prompt, and put certain directories
in your path.  Reread it with "source .cshrc"

5. How would you write a text file?
Use any editor, such as "pico filename" or in some
cases it can be done with cat.

Note that there will be another quiz for those who
did not do well on this one.  The purpose is not to
take your points, but to keep after you until you
learn something about this.  If you are a biologist,
there is a unix computer in your future, doing something
that you want.
