Welcome to the file systems tutorial/information website. This site quickly goes over the differences between Windows95, WindowsNT, MacOS and Unix systems. It also shows you how to upload and download files using either ws_ftp or fetch. Typographic conventionsWords separated by an arrow stand for a sequence of selections; the sequence is prefixed by the name of the context, in caps (but see below). For example,MENU: File --> Print ...refers to selecting "File" from the menu bar, and then selecting "Print ...". If a menu option brings you to a little window (called a "dialog box"), then the sequence is represented thus: MENU: File --> Print ...The prefix to the second line is a literal transcription of whatever appears in the window title of the dialog box; window titles are not in caps unless the window title itself is. If there is no official word for an icon, I just use the icon instead of a word. If a word has parentheses around it, then it refers to a gloss for an icon that has no official title (that I could discover). When a value is assigned to a field in a dialog box, I use the equal sign and put quotes around the added value, like so: A Dialog Box: Name = "Jake"If a value has angle brackets around it, then it stands for a non-literal value that needs to be interpolated. For example: A Dialog Box: Name = "<put your name here>" |
