to its file area.  Use open-apple R in TIC or Alt-L in Telix to open a capture
buffer and capture the text that will appear on screen.   Now use the V)iew
command to display your file.  After a few screens, close the buffer (open-
apple R in TIC or Alt-L in Telix).

19.  Saving the captured file is automatic in Telix.  If you are using TIC,
save it by entering open-apple W to write the file to a formatted disk in
drive 2.


Refer to the separate handout for down/uploading for Telix or for TIC for the
following activities.

20.  Go to the file area for your research community.  Download one of the
files to a formatted disk in your second floppy drive (Apple) or to your hard
drive (IBM).  Pick a small file (under 10,000 bytes).

21.  Create a text file using your word processor.  Save the file as Ascii
text.  Upload the file you created to file area 20 (the upload area).

22.  Create a small text file (under 3000 bytes) using your word processor.
Put a return at the end of each line (Keep line width 60 or under).  Have no
true blank lines; to skip a line indent using the space bar once or twice
followed by a return.  Try uploading this file as a message using the Upload
command in the message area and XModem or ZModem transfer protocol.

23.  Try uploading this same message by starting to E)nter a message and then
telling your telecomm program to do an ASCII upload while in the body of the
message.  (This may not work with TIC.)

25. In the ERIC "context set" or database look for information on a specific
minority group.  (Note:  When you search for information in MINDS, it is
usually best to start by entering just one or two key words.) Select one of
the indicated references.  Then use control-R to highlight the key words.

What key words did you use? ___________________

What is the name of the file corresponding to your selected reference?
