And since on top of this you have to cope with classes and assignments, you may be reluc- tant to take the time to learn how to use computers. However, you will be much better equipped to successfully complete your academic studies if you spend some time and energy mastering the basics of using a computer. Working with Computers has two aims: first, to teach you how to use computers, and secondly, to show you how to make use of computers to complete your academic work efficiently. No prior knowledge of computing is assumed.As you work through the book, you will learn more and more advanced tech- niques. Each new concept is explained, building on more basic con- cepts introduced previously. If you forget what a term means, you can look it up in the glossary, which contains all terms appearing in italics. Part I of Working with Computers introduces the basic opera- tion of computers. It also covers the major areas of computing that are relevant for academic work: word processing, data bases, spread- sheets, and communications, with the most emphasis placed on word processing. For each of these topics you will learn how to use the programs and how such programs will help you in your academic work. Chapter 1, Introduction, provides a first look at the computer and discusses some common compute: anxieties. This chapter intro- duces the different parts of a computer for students who have not had any previous computer experience. Chapter 2, Working with large computers, and Chapter 3, Working with microcomputers, briefly describe the two main types of computers in use today.Chapter 2 explains how to get started on a time-sharing computer: how to get an account, log on, and give commands. Chapter 3 describes how to boot a microcom- puter and load software programs so that you can start your work. i ii Chapter 4, Basic editing, providesa survival guide to writing with a computer, introducing the essentialfeatures of word process- ing programs. Chapter 5, Files and operating systems,describes a set of basic functions that are needed tocarry out routine tasks. These functions include various aspects offile-management: naming,copy- ing, moving, and printing files. This chapteralso gives some advice on how to cope with disasters such as the accidental deletionof files. Chapter 6, More on editing, describes powerfulfeatures of word processing programs suchas 'search and replace' commands; inserting, deleting, and moving blocks of text; andcontrolling the layout of your text. Chapter 7, Communications, tellsyou how to take advantage of computer networks to send electronic mail,transfer files from one computer to another, and gex access toa wide range of computer services. Next is Chapter 8, Data bases and spreadsheets,which dis- cusses the use of data base programs to store, retrieve and organize information.It also introduces you to theuse of spreadsheets to store and manipulate numerical data. A simpleanalysis of a set of test scores is presented to show how spreadsheetsare used to perform calculations on data. Chapter 9, Advanced editing, returnsto the topic of word processing. In this chapter, advanced wordprocessing techniquesare covered, including: moving text fromone file to another, defining macros, and taking advantage of spelling checkers and formatting programs. Part II of Working with Computers concentrateson specific aca- demic tasks. For each of these tasks,you will learn what is expected of you at college or university and howcomputers can help you meet these expectations. Chapter 10, Library research, discusses howto find research material in a library usinga card catalogue. Chapter 11, Computers and library research,covers the techniques of searchingan online library catalogue.This chapter also discusses the advantages and disadvantagesof using computer- ized searches.

  • 10 Keyboard/Keypad Page (0X07) This Section Is the Usagepage for Key Codes to Be Used in Implementing a USB Keyboard
    54 Universal Serial Bus HID Usage Tables 10 Keyboard/Keypad Page (0x07) This section is the UsagePage for key codes to be used in implementing a USB keyboard. A Boot Keyboard (84-, 101- or 104-key) should at a minimum support all associated usage codes as indicated in the “Boot” column below. The usage type of all key codes is Selectors (Sel), except for the modifier keys Keyboard Left Control (0x224) to Keyboard Right GUI (0x231) which are Dynamic Flags (DV). Note A general note on Usages and languages: Due to the variation of keyboards from language to language, it is not feasible to specify exact key mappings for every language. Where this list is not specific for a key function in a language, the closest equivalent key position should be used, so that a keyboard may be modified for a different language by simply printing different keycaps. One example is the Y key on a North American keyboard. In Germany this is typically Z. Rather than changing the keyboard firmware to put the Z Usage into that place in the descriptor list, the vendor should use the Y Usage on both the North American and German keyboards. This continues to be the existing practice in the industry, in order to minimize the number of changes to the electronics to accommodate other languages.

  • GSI Local Guide
    UNIX Primer GSI Local Guide GSI Computing Center Version 2.0 This is draft version !!! Preface: More than one year ago, we published our ®rst version of the Unix primer, which has been used in the meantime by many people at GSI and even in the outside HEP community. Nowadays, as more and more physicists have access to a Unix computer either via a X-terminal or use their own workstation, and as the installed computing power has increased by a large factor, we have revised the ®rst version of our Unix primer. We tried to re¯ect the changes in the installedhardware, like the installationof the 11 machine AIX cluster, and the installationof new software products, as the batch system for job submission, new backup and restore products and the graphics system IDL. Almost all chapters have been revised, and some have undergone substantial changes like the introduction, the section about experimental data and tape handling and the chapter about the editors, where more editors are described in detail. Although many topics are still missing or could be improved, we decided to publishthe second edition of the Unix primer now in order to give a guide to the rapidly increasing Unix user community at GSI. As for the ®rst edition, many people again have contributed to this document: Wolfgang Ahner, Eliete Bertulani, Michael Dahlinger, Matthias Feyerabend, Ingo Giese, Horst GÈoringer, Eva Hocks, Peter Malzacher, Udo Meyer, Kerstin Schiebel, Kay Winkler and Heiko Weber. Preface for Version 1.0: In early summer 1991 the GSI Computing Center started a Unix Pilot Project investigating the hardware and software possibilities of centrally operated unix workstation systems.

  • Summary Keyboard Mapping
    Technical Bulletin Product: RUMBA OFFICE 2.0 RUMBA for UNIX RUMBA for the VAX Version #: See above Host: UNIX, VAX Summary If you find that one or more of the keys you press in RUMBA for the VAX or RUMBA for UNIX doesn't produce the effect you expect, it may be that there is a mismatch between how the keyboard is mapped in RUMBA software and how the keys are mapped on the host. By remapping the characters that a key sends, RUMBA software can emulate most keyboards and be made to work with almost any application. When a key is pressed one of two things can happen. If the key defines a "local function," RUMBA software performs that function and nothing is sent to the host. One local function is the F2 or PrintScreen key. This function does not require host interaction. RUMBA software simply copies the information from the screen to the printer. If the key does not define a local function then RUMBA will send either a single character or a string of characters to the host. This document describes how to change the character or string of characters sent by RUMBA software when a key is pressed. It also covers some basic ways to determine what the host or application expects. To effectively fix key mapping problems, you will need to talk with your system administrator and possibly with the vendor of the host application you are using. Keyboard Mapping Host applications are written for a specific host keyboard. In the case of DEC and UNIX applications, this keyboard is usually a VT keyboard.
