\textbf{Hands On Orientation - Staff Instructions}
\end{center}

\begin{enumerate}

\item{Have them run newuser, if they haven't already.}

\item{Have then login to a snake or a sun. Briefly explain that normally
they should use the type of machine they're assigned to in their class.
Mention that the snakes have a goofy escape key.}

\item{For this semester only, write the following on the board: (include the 
underscores to delimit spaces for the first few steps...)
\begin{verbatim}
	chmod_700_.??* (ignore the two errors)
	cp_/usr/skel/.??*_. (answer "y" to all questions)
	Then log out and log in again.
\end{verbatim}
Apologize for this, and explain that it's a one-time thing. Tell them how to
log out (first button, select exit, etc.)
}

\item{When they log back in, explain the msgs window, and tell them that it's
\textbf{important} for them to keep up-to-date, but that they should just hit
q now to save time.}

\item{Have them copy the demo document to their home directory.
\begin{verbatim}
     cp_/common/orientation/demodoc.txt_.
	 ls
	 ls_-l
\end{verbatim}
Briefly explain the relevance of what they're doing, including that . means
the current directory.
}

\item{Have them edit the file a little with the visual editor. 
\begin{verbatim}
     vi demodoc.txt
\end{verbatim}
Although the new demo document has instructions, they won't read it. Hold
their hands, and try to explain the different vi modes as much as possible.
}

\item{Have them mail the document to the person next to them. 
\begin{verbatim}
     mail jsmith
     Subject: demo document
     Hello, here's my edited demodoc.txt file.

     ~r demodoc.txt

     Jimbob Doe
     ^D
\end{verbatim}
Explain that stuff after the Subject line is the body of the message, that
the tilde is a special character that indicates a command, that ~r is the
general command to insert a file into a mail message, that ~? is for help,
and that \^D does \textbf{not} have a caret in it, but it instead stands for
control-d. Explain the Cc: prompt.}

\item{Go over reading mail:
\begin{verbatim}
	> mail
	Mail> ?   <--- for help
	Mail> q   <--- to quit
	> mail -f <--- to read old mail
\end{verbatim}
You may also want to mention the pager at this time as well, since most of
them will see it.}

\item{Show them how to use man:
\begin{verbatim}
	> man vi
	> apropos compiler
	> man -keyword compiler
\end{verbatim}
Explain the equivilence of \texttt{apropos} and \texttt{man -keyword}. Mention
that almost every command that they run has an associated man page.}

\item{Explain how to use X and fvwm:
\begin{enumerate}
	\item{The parts of the window: title bar, command button, max and min
	buttons, resize corners.}
	\item{Icons and iconifying.}
	\item{Everything in the three mouse-button pop-up menus.}
\end{enumerate}
Dean does this very well...}

\item{Have them run Mosaic:
\begin{verbatim}
	> Mosaic &
\end{verbatim}
Explain that the ampersand gives them control of the window back. Explain that
Mosaic is a World Wide Web browser, and that lots of important CSL and course
information is on-line on the Web. Have them read \underline{Getting Help} 
under the \underline{CSL Answers to Frequently Asked Questions}.}

\end{enumerate}
