How Should This Course Be Used?

Organization

The information in this course has been organized into separately bound modules.

The modules are organized into lessons. Each lesson gives practical examples and activities that can be tried on the computer. The exercises at the end of each lesson direct you to try things on the system in order to reinforce important concepts presented in the lesson. The answers to all of the exercises can be found in the "Solutions Guide".

Modules are numbered 1 through 6. All modules begin with a challenge test. The challenge test helps you determine if you need to study the entire module, study parts of it, or skip the module entirely. If you choose to skip certain lessons or modules, note that later modules refer to files created in earlier modules.

Course essentials

You need a logon to a 900 Series HP 3000 in order to complete the exercises in each lesson. You are the only person who should use this logon during this training.

You need basic account capabilities (IA, BA, ND, SF).

Module 4 requires you to have three groups: MYGROUP, OTHERGRP, and PUB in your account. MYGROUP should be your home group.

Your system or account manager can arrange for you to have these capabilities and groups.

	NOTE: If you are responsible for setting up the student accounts for this course, you may use the lab tape along with the account setup instructions provided in the "Begin Here" section of the Using HP 3000 MPE/iX: Advanced Skills Tutorial course.
