Please make your reservations at least one week prior to the day you need the lab. With the start of a new academic term we will be getting a number of new VAX users as well as people wanting to resume using an account after some time away. With that in mind here is a quick review of some VAX Basics. If you are on the administrative system, VAXA, you work from a series of menus and the options that appear on your menus are customized for your job function. A complete explanation of all the available system commands can be found by typing HELP or HELP followed by the command about which you want more information.
Many commands deal with manipulating files.
DIR shows you a list of the files in your directory. At the dollar sign type FIND followed by the person's last name to look up Usernames for other SXU users. FIND and WHO are also available on VAXA as menu options. VAXD has a number of commands that are specific to Internet applications.
