Make sure you are out of windows: double click on the box in the upper
left hand corner of windows screen, or select exit from the file menu.

/ahome/inwww/public/www-data/seminar
to your /ahome/userid/public/www-data.,br>
Find the file benefit.txt (middle of page), place a 'c'
next to the entry, and press enter.
Note:: the page that now comes up only shows the file name (benefit.txt) and
not the path (directory structure) we have taken to find this file.
File to copy: should be: benefit.txt ;
In newfile: place /ahome/userid/public/www-data
and press enter .

copy was completed.
Press F3 to exit copy.
Press F3 to exit scan.
You have returned to the main menu.

Part 2
The benefit.txt file must be renamed to benefit.html so that the server
will recognize the file as a www document rather than a ascii text (ie txt)
file.
Place a 'r' next to the entry for benefit.txt. ...name of file to rename ===> should be benefit.txt.
For ...new file name ===> type in benefit.html, and press
enter.
Wait for the message benefit.txt renamed to benefit.html.
Press F3 to exit rename.
Part 3
You will be editing the benefit.html file to place tags in the file.
Place an 'e' next to the benefit.html entry, and press enter.
Place the header information, the title information, and the body
informaton, with text attribute tags into the file:
At the top of the file place the tag <htmlplus>, this
helps to identify the document type to the server. Next place the tag
<head>, which names this as the header information for the
document.
Make a new line to place the title information and place the
<title> tag in it.
(note: there should be no characters between the head tag and the title tag)
.
Make a title for the page and then place the </title> tag
after it.
Make a new line and place the </head> tag after it (again
there should be no characters between the /title tag and the /head tag).
Make a new line and place the <body> tag in it (again no
data...). This names this part of the document.
Now place the <h1> tag before
"EXEMPT STAFF BENEFITS SUMMARY", which is the first line of the document,
and place the </h1> after it (this makes the Title of the
document a 1st level header - h1).
Make a new line between the header (EXEMPT STAFF BENEFITS SUMMARY) and
the following paragraph and place a <p> there to create more
space.
Place <p> on either side of the "Flexible Benefits"
topic so that the two paragraphs are preserved, and the text stands alone
on a single line.
Next place a <b> before the "Flexible Benefits" in front
of the topic text, to make it bold.
Place a <pre> tag before the paragraph that follows
"Flexible Benefits", and the rest of the document will stand as it is.
Go to the end of the document (F10) and place the
</pre> and </body> tags to finish the document.
File the document by pressing F3.
Exit from scan by pressing F3.
Part 4
Now view the document by using the text browser available on the network
server, lynx. Type in lynx at the main menu and press enter.
lynx will come up, and display the Lehigh home page.
Press the lower case g, (do not press enter, this browser is
keyboard sensitive).
In the lower part of the screen a reverse video (black letters on
white background) with the phrase URL to open: will be displayed,
and the cursor will be next to it. Type in: http://www.lehigh.edu/userid/benefit.html and press enter.
The benefit.html you have edited should be displayed.
The bold letters we wanted for "Flexible Benefits" will be in dark red
(lynx way of saying bold).
Part 5
There is a flaw (the editing you have done above has a deliberate error in
it so you could see one of the typical flaws people who are learning html
make).
Type in q to quit lynx.
Go back to step 15 to edit the document, and correct the
error, press F3> to file the document.
Return to step 18 and display the final document using lynx again.
When either time runs out or you have a good view of the document
with lynx, logout of the network server at a dos prompt, start windows (ie type in win)
Part 6
Go to netscape and display the URL: http://www.lehigh.edu/~userid/benefit.html
