Click on files with your right mouse button and do "Save". Remember the directory on your local computer where you saved the files. Then, bring up the "Maple" from your desktop (not by clicking on any file icon). Within "Maple", open the files you have just saved.
For each lab, you will need 2 files: the worksheet file that you are supposed to read through and understand the material, and the assignment file containing exercises that you are supposed to perform, print out (together with the output) and turn in to obtain the credit.
If you have no time to finish the exercise at one session, you may save your half-finished work on your local computer -- try to make a unique name for it, so that the file would not be accidentally erased or overwritten by other students. Still this is not 100% safe. A better solution is to always have with you a floppy disc and save your half-finished work on the floppy. Alternatively, if you have a computer account at the ASU or anywhere else, you may copy your file to your account using "FTP" or email (although, email in labs is not always working).
Remember that every student can use his/her ASURITE account to store files! To access the ASURITE account via FTP or otherwise, use the domain name general.asu.edu and your ASURITE id.
To access your account via a web prowser, click on "File" - "Open" and type in the following address: ftp://your_name@your_domain. For example, for your ASURITE account, type ftp://your_name@general.asu.edu then follow the instructions. Put your attention that what you type is NOT your email address! Also, put ftp in front, not http. While you are in, you may download files by clicking on them, and upload files by clicking "File" - "Upload". Alternatively, you may try to upload or download files using mouse menu. Click with right mouse button and do "Copy" at old location, then click at new location and do "Paste". If uploading does not work on Internet Explorer, try Netscape.
Another important notice!
Before saving a file on a diskette
or sending it via FTP or email, remove all the output by clicking on
"Edit" then pointing on "Remove output" then on "From worksheet". This
way, you will not lose any of your work but the file will become
considerably smaller. A file with output may be so large
that it will not fit on a diskette. In this case, an attempt to save
it may destroy the file! You may restore your output by repeatedly
pressing "Enter". Don't forget to restore all the output before printing
the file out.
Every assignment file should begin with two commands: restart; with(student); The first command will clear the memory. The second command will allow access to certain necessary routines.
