Demonstration of Using Maple as a Helper App

This page is simply coded in HTML, but the "link" below should launch Maple with a pre-specified worksheet.

Now point to some neat Maple worksheet via an appropriate link. (Note: you could also create and use a button here...)

And then you can link to the next part of the lesson, or whatever... To Exercises

Misc. Notes on Making This Work

If you are working on a Macintosh using Release 3 or earlier:

- create your Maple Worksheet,

- from the File menu select Save A Copy In, and

- in the dialog box specify Save In Standard Format.

PC and Unix versions of Maple V Release 3 save in "standard format" by default; in Release 4, all versions are supposed to do that.

From any platform, if you use filenames of 8 characters or less with the .ms extension, things should work the same way from Mac and PC machines.

Your Web-Browser's Helper App options should be set up so files ending in .ms will launch the Maple application on your machine. (Maple Worksheets will be in TEXT format.)
