Ulab Tips

• Start Maple using xmaple&. Note the extra character which is shift-7. This allows you to continue typing commands in the startup window.
• The text only browser lynx.
  • lynx http://www.math.fsu.edu/~bellenot/class/s99/cal1/data2 can be saved by typing p for print and then selecting Save to a local file. [Funny, you can't "print" to the printer with p.]
  • Some people find browsing without the graphics faster.
• The command to print the file foo is lpr foo
• Getting files to and from Taylor using ftp. Here is a ftp session which gets myproject.mws from taylor. ftp ftp.math.fsu.edu, bellenot, my password (which was not echoed) and get myproject.mws are the things I typed. (Well I also typed quit.) This gets the file from taylor to whatever machine your are on. You can put the file to move it back.
