Week #4 (May 2,
2000)
Have you been able to
send your last week assignment to other members of the class? Have you read the
assignment of the others? It helps a great deal to read what others are writing to
improve your writing. I think that your English writing is improving. At
least, thanks to the "spelling check" of Word 98, your spelling improved
drastically in your last assignment.
1) (Optional) Review Exercise: Let's write an
e-mail message using Word 98 and send it after checking spelling. The following is a
way to do so:
Open the Word 98 and create a message to
your key-pal or a person listed on Dave's E-Mail Connection.
Check and correct the spelling.
Open Hidemaru and paste the spelling-checked
message on Hidemaru.
Edit the message on Hidemaru and remove the
"bugs." Save the file giving it a name.
Open Eudora and create a new message window.
Paste the Hidemaru message on the new
message window.
Fill in the address (To: ) and send the
message. (I noticed that many of you have not yet created your "signature"
on Eudora. Select "signature" from the "tool" menu on Eudora and
create your signature before sending the e-mail. For instructions, click here.)
2) Review Exercise: Let's review how to
"paste" e-mail messages on Hidemaru editor. I would like you to make a
Hidemaru file on which are pasted, chronologically (from the oldest to the most recent),
all the e-mail messages you have sent and received:
Open a "Hidemaru" window: 1) Click
the "Start" button. 2) Select the "Program" menu 3) Select
the "Tool" menu. 4) Click on "Hidemaru" in the
"Tool" menu.
Start Eudora. Select a message you
would like to paste and open it.
Select all the content of the message you
have selected. Let me introduce three ways to do so: 1) "Drag" all the
content of the e-mail message, then, click on the right button of your mouse and click on
the "copy" command in the short-cut menu. 2) Select "Edit" on
the Eudora menu bar and select "select all" command on the pull-down menu.
Again select "Edit" on the Eudora menu bar and select "copy"
command on the pull-down menu. 3) Make sure the cursor is active on the e-mail
message window. Press a "Ctrl" key and "A" key on your keyboard
at the same time. Click on the right button of your mouse and click on the
"copy" command in the short-cut menu.
Now you order where to "paste."
Click on the Hidemaru window and then do one of the following: 1) Select
"Edit" on the "Hidemaru" menu bar and click on the "paste"
command from the pull-down menu. 2) Press the "F9" key on your keyboard.
3) Click on the "paste" icon on the "Hidemaru" icon menu.
(The "paste" icon is located just at the right of the scissors icon.)
Now you select another e-mail message from
the Eudora mailbox and paste it at the bottom of the "Hidemaru" message you have
just pasted, repeating the above procedures #2, 3, and 4.
After you finish pasting all the messages
you would like to paste, edit the "Hidemaru" file. Perhaps you would like
to adjust line breaks and remove bugs.
Save the "Hidemaru" file as
"em000502.txt" on your floppy disk: 0) Make sure your floppy disk is in the
floppy disk drive of your machine. 1) Select the "file" and select
"save as" command from the pull-down menu. 2) Press the black inverted triangle
at the right of "file location." 3) Click on "3.5 inch FD."
4) Move your cursor in the "file name" box and click the left button of
the mouse. 5) Type em000502.txt in the "file name" box. 6) Press the
"save" button and wait until the lamp of the floppy disk drive turns off.
3) How to use "Explorer": Using
Explorer, you learn how to copy, cut, paste, and delete files. You also learn how to
make a new "folder" and change the name of "files" and
"folders":
Open "Explorer": 1) Click the
"Start" button. 2) Select the "Program" menu 3) Click on
"Explorer" in the "Program" menu.
Customize
"Explore": 1) Press "View", or "hyoji", from the menu
bar and make sure that there is a checkmark on both "tool bar" and "status
bar" in the pull-down menu. Also make sure that there is a black dot on
"details" for the icon option. 2) Click on "option" in the
"view" pull-down menu. 3) Click on the "view" tag of the option
window.
4) Select "show all files" (S) and "show file path on the title
bar" (T). 5) Press the "OK" button. I advise
you to do these procedures at the beginning of each class from now on.
Select "Eawase...Homes (M:)" drive
from the left column of Explorer and click on it. (You may press "+" mark
on the left and change it to "-".) Then select "eudora" folder
and click on it.
Select "attach" folder in the
"eudora" folder and click on it. Find the file named
"ht000502.htm" and select it. (Just a single click).
Press the "copy" icon of Explorer.
Now you are going to select where to paste:
Scroll the left column of Explorer to the top and select "3.5 inch FD
(A:)" drive and click on it.
Press the "paste" icon of
Explorer. Now the file "ht000502.htm" is copied from M: drive to your floppy disk.
Now let's make a new folder named
"bin" on M: drive and copy "ht000502.htm" file to this new folder.
Select "Eawase...Homes (M:)" drive
from the left column of Explorer and click on it.
. Select "create new (W)"
from the Explorer menu bar. Then click on "folder (F)" on top of the
"create new" menu. You will find a new folder created on the right column.
. Type "bin" (no quotation
marks!). If you cannot type "bin" on the new folder, click on softly
"new folder" and try again. (You can change the folder name from "new
folder" to "bin".)
. Open "M:/eudora/attach" folder
and select the "ht000502.htm"
file.
. Press the "copy" icon of
Explorer.
. Point your cursor to the "bin"
folder in the M: drive and click on it.
. Press the "paste" icon of
Explorer. Now the file "ht000502.htm" is copied from "M:/eudora/attach" folder to
"M:/bin" folder.
. Now you have file "ht000502.htm" in both
"M:/eudora/attach" folder and "M:/bin" folder. Let's delete the
"ht000502.htm" in
"M:/eudora/attach" folder.
. Point your cursor to
"M:/eudora/attach" folder and click on it. Select the "ht000502.htm" there and press the
"delete" icon (X) of Explorer.
. A warning window appears. Press
"Yes" button. Now the file is deleted.
4) How to make a simple html files: for
details, click
here.
Open Hidemaru.
Select the "em000502.txt" file on
your floppy disk with Explorer. Drag it to the Hidemaru.
Now you can see the content of
"em000502.txt". Select the "ht000502.htm" file on your floppy
disk with Explorer and drag it to the Hidemaru.
A new Hidemaru window is now open and you
can see the content of the "ht000502.htm" file.
Click on the first Hidemaru
("em000502.txt") and select all the content and press the "copy" icon
(or "F8" key).
Click on the second Hidemaru
("ht000502.htm") and click on the blank below "paste it below".
Press the "paste" icon (or
"F9" key). Now the content of "em000502.txt" is pasted to
"ht000502.htm". Save the file.
Select the "ht000502.htm" file on
your floppy disk with Explorer and double click on it. Now you can see how the
"ht000502.htm" file looks like with Netscape Navigator.
4) Today' assignment:
Using the nickname "Mr. Shimada" ("lect0021@dokkyo.ac.jp"
and "shimada@dokkyo.ac.jp"), send me
e-mail attaching the modified "ht000502.htm" on your floppy disk. (If you
have not completed Exercise #4, please attach em000502.txt" instead of
"ht000502.htm." Be sure to change the file name of
"ht000502.htm" to "your-last-name.htm" (i.e. "shimada.htm"
if your last name is "shimada" before attaching the file. (If you are
attaching "em000502.txt", the attached file name must be "shimada.txt"
in case your last name is "shimada.")
Open the "ht000502.htm" on your
floppy disk with "Hidemaru" and save it as "your-last-name.htm"
(i.e. "shimada.htm") (If you are going to attach the
"em000502.txt", open it with "Hidemaru" and save it as
"your-last-name.txt" on your floppy disk.) You may close Hidemaru after
saving the file.
Open Eudora and choose "address
book" from the "Tool" menu.
Select "Mr. Shimada" from the
address book and click on the "To:" button. A new e-mail message window
will open.
Confirm that "To:" column is
filled with "Mr. Shimada." Enter "w4-nnnnnnnn" in the "Subject:" column.
The "nnnnnnnnn" here means your student number. So, if your student number
is 98123456, it must look like "Subject: w4-98123456".
Select "syorui-no-tempu" or
"attach file" from the "message" menu of Eudora. Select "your-last-name.htm" (or "your-last-name.txt")
on your floppy disk by changing file location. For instructions of attaching
file, click here.
Click on the "Send" button of the
Eudora window.
