Welcome to the ``tip of the week'', a pithy kickshaw provided
        on a virtually weekly basis.

	New users of the math network are encouraged to consult the
	``Sun Starter'' document available in the Little Hall lab's
	document rack on the wall by the printer.  The department's
	policy on computer use can also be found there, as well as
	online from the main menu in our window system.

	Online help is readily available from the window system's menus:
	   [1]  The ``manual pages'' are a traditional feature of the
	Unix  operating system.  To open up a reader for the manual pages,
	(a) move the mouse so that the pointer is on the background, 
	(b) hold down the right mouse button to get the Main Menu, 
	(c) then drag down to Documentation and pull the mouse to 
	the right to get the Documentation Submenu, 
	(d) select `xman', and 	let go of the mouse button.
	   [2]  The ``Info mode'' of the Emacs editor is available
	both within Emacs and from the main menu
	(follow the directions above, but select `Info mode browser'
	rather than `xman';  touch the question mark key to learn how
	to navigate the browser).

	More online documentation is found in the directories under
	/depot/documentation.  Paper documents are available in the
	Little Hall lab and *must not* be removed from that room.

	You can email questions or problem reports to the system 
	administrators at the address ``consult@math.ufl.edu''.
	Suggestions for future Tips of the Week can be sent to
	that address, too.
