USE OF STANFORD SYSTEM FROM THE NETWORK
1. WE DON'T EXPECT HEAVY OUTSIDE USE OF THIS SYSTEM,
BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE MOST HEAVILY USED SYSTEMS
ALREADY. HERE ARE SOME FACILITIES.
2. USER FILE AREAS ARE DESIGNATED BY PROJECT AND
PROGRAMMER NUMBERS. THUS THIS AREA IS NET,GUE WHERE
GUE STANDS FOR GUEST IF YOU HAVEN'T GUESSED.
3. THE LOGIN COMMAND IS L <PROJECT>,<PROGRAMMER>.
4. THE LOGOUT COMMAND IS K.
5. ALL SYSTEM COMMANDS ARE ACTIVATED BY <CARRIAGE
RETURN> <LINE FEED>. HOWEVER, CONTRARY TO NET
POLICY, OUR SYSTEM WILL ECHO A LINE FEED AFTER EVERY
CARRIAGE RETURN YOU TYPE (EXCEPT WHEN YOU ARE IN A
TALK RING, OR AFTER YOU ISSUE THE CORRECT UUO OR
TTY-CHARACTER TO CHANGE ECHO), THUS YOU ONLY NEED TO
TYPE THE CARRIAGE RETURN.
6. EXTENSIVE USE OF THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE OK'D BY

TO JAM (ANDY MOORER).
8. HELP <COMMAND> MAY GET YOU INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO
USE A FEW COMMON COMMANDS AND PROGRAMS, BUT THE HELP

INFO" FOR INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT IT. "R INFO" TO RUN IT.
9. TO GET BACK TO THE SYSTEM FROM A PROGRAM USE

<NAME1>(.<NAME2>)([<PROJECT>,<PROGRAMMER>]). THUS,
THIS FILE IS SYSTEM.USE[NET,GUE]. THE [...,...] CAN
BE OMITTED IF THE USER IS LOGGED IN UNDER THAT
<PROJ,PROG>.
11. TYPE <FILE> WILL DO JUST THAT.
12. NO GOOD FACILITIES EXIST YET FOR TRANSFERRING TEXT
FILES OVER THE NETWORK.
13. DIR WILL LIST A DIRECTORY. DIR [PRJ,PRG] WILL LIST
A PARTICULAR USER'S DIRECTORY. DIR [S,DOC] AND DIR

ATTENTION, AND WHEN SOMEONE RESPONDS TYPE YOUR
QUESTION.
