More on email: using Pine on Trinity's mail server, mail.trinity.edu,
via telnet.
More on getting familiar with Windows: setting up a printer;
moving files to a server (only possible if you have write privileges for
the directory you are attempting to write to!). Note that in my folder
for our class on TUCC8 you have permission to write to the folder, but
cannot modify anything in the folder, including files that you yourself
put there!
File types and extensions: We looked at a few examples of
file types and some associated extensions. Plain text or ASCII files:
.txt; formatted text: .doc; image files: .jpg, .jpeg, .gif;
audio files: .wav, .aiff; files to be viewed with a web browser:
.htm, .html. We saw that, while these extensions are usually hidden
from the user if Windows knows which application to open the files with,
they become visible if, from a window for a drive or folder, one goes to
View : Options : View and unchecks the box labeled "Hide MS-DOS file extensions
for file types that are registered."
