Learn a text editor

1.
Follow the instructions in the vi manual and play around with it enough to get a sense of what the user interface is like.

2.
In a terminal window, type emacs & to create a window for the emacs editor. In the new window, type type Control-h followed by a t. A document will appear that will teach you how to use emacs.

3.
There is an emacs quick-reference sheet, in Postscript, on the cs357 web page.

If you click on it, netscape will ask where you put the file. Put it in your home directory, then print it using lpr.
