CSCI 3190 (Directed Study (Unix Power Tools)), Spring 2004:
Homework 5
- Assigned:
- March 24, 2004.
- Due:
- March 29, 2004, at 5pm.
- Credit:
- 10 points.
- As much of the vim tutorial or the emacs tutorial
as you have time to read (spend at least half an hour, more
if you like). See instructions below for how to access
these tutorials.
If you don't have reasonable access to either of these,
come talk to me and maybe we can figure out a reasonable
alternative.
Answer the following questions. You may write out your answers by
hand or using a word processor or other program, but please submit
hard copy, either in class or in my mailbox in the department office.
Answers to most questions will involve experimentation on
a Unix or Linux system. You are free to use any appropriate system;
if you use something other than Red Hat Linux please tell me what.
- (10 points)
Spend at least half an hour (more if you have the time and
interest) working through either the vim or the
emacs tutorial:
- To start the vim tutorial, type
vimtutor at the command prompt. (This works on the
department Linux machines. I don't know if it works on
other machines.)
- To start the emacs tutorial, type
emacs and then control-h followed by t.
Then tell me at least two things you
learned that (1) you didn't know before and (2) you think
you might find useful.
