PC Lab:

The CS302 Lab is located in room 1350 of the Computer Science and Statistics building. There is a sign by the side of the room that says "Terminal Room A". To get to the lab you first need to be in the new part of the building with green/grey carpeting. Then walk past the green elevators and turn left down the long hallway. 1350 is the first room on the left. The lab is staffed by graduate student consultants, so if you are having problems using the machines or figuring out how to do things, they are a good first line of attack.

Opening Your Account:

Find an unused machine. At the "WILEY login" prompt type "newuser" and press the Enter key. When the "Password" prompt appears, simply press the Enter key. This starts the NEWUSER program. The NEWUSER program will ask you for your student id number, inform you of your login name, and ask you to set your password. Students having difficulty running the NEWUSER program should come to the Systems Lab, room 2350.

Using Windows:

If you have not used MS-Windows before you should run the Windows tutorial. Select "Windows Tutorial" under the Program Manager "Help" menu item. If you do not understand the last sentence, ask one of your classmates or a lab consultant to help you.

Accessing On-Line Information:

In CS302, all class information is available through the World Wide Web (WWW). Information for your CS302 section may be found on your instructor's home page. You can access this information with a program called Netscape. The Netscape icon is located in the "Networking" group. Double click on the icon to start the application.

Navigating to the Section 6/Section 9 home page:

You will start at the CS department home page. All of the underlined items are links to other pages. You can click on the underlined items to go to a new page (or click on the "Back" button at the upper left of the screen to back up).

To get to the section 6/section 9 home page...
