Existing Pages
To edit an existing page from a Mac or PC, start up Netscape, and
view the page you wish to edit. From the
File menu at the top of the screen, select "Save As...". Now you want
to make sure you change the format from Text to Source, so that you get
the HTML code, instead of just the text from the page. You might also
choose a different name (perhaps something.html) to save it under.
On the Macs or the PC's with Windows95 in the lab, you can save files either to a floppy disk,
or to the special "Temp Save Folder" on the Hard Drive. On the NT machines
save it in your home directory "u:\username". To get to this
directory in NT, double click on the "My Computer" icon (or open the
WindowsNT explorer) and select the "U" drive. Then double click
on the folder that bears your user-name.
New Pages
To create a new file, open a text editor. On the PC you can use "Notepad",
and on the Mac you can use "Simple text" or "BBEdit". Then start
typing in the HTML for your new file. Once you are done creating the file
save it as described above.
