10. In pico, create a message named "m" as follows:
"JerThis is my inserted file.
Your Name"
Do not type the quotation marks.
Insert this file in a message and send it to me.
11. In pico, create 3 files as follows:
(1) This is file A.
(2) This is file B.
(3) This is file C.
In pine, compose a message as follows:
"JerThis is my message that has three attachments.
Your Name"
Do not type the quotes.
Attach the three files, fileA, fileB, & fileC, and send me the
message.
12. Create a subdirectory in your home directory in unix.
At the unix prompt ($), issue the mkdir command, a space, and then
the
following:
(1) Your first initial
(2) A dot (period)
(3) Your full last name <enter>
Example: b.clinton for Bill Clinton
Be sure to use small letters, not cap's.
Very important!!! Do NOT use your user ID.
Then, at the unix prompt, type ls and press <enter>.
You should see a subdirectory with your name. In the case of the
example above, it would look like b.clinton/.
13. Move the three files, created in item #11, into your personal
subdirectory.
14. At the Unix prompt, change into your personal subdirectory
(use cd, space, and the name of the subdirectory). Type ls -l
at the Unix prompt to see the number of bytes for each file.
NOTE: The total number of bytes for all the files in the
subdirectory
should be less than 64,000. If the total is greater than
64,000
bytes, you will have to delete some text in the larger files.
If you don't, the "turnin" facility will not function
properly.
To get back to your home directory from your personal directory,
type cd and press <enter> at the Unix prompt.
15. "Rmshar" the directory into a file with the same name
(an extension .shr1 will be added by the process).
"Rmshar" will be explained in a lab session.
16. "Turnin" this file to lantz.087.unix1 or lantz.088.unix1, depending
