Important: On
the lab machines, you should have the following alias
defined for xmaple.
% alias xmaple % alias xmaple='xmaple -cw'
(This is defined in the standard 210 ~/.aliases
file). The -cw option stands for "classic
worksheet" and is the mode that I will be discussing in
class, and which I will ask you to use in completing the
Maple homework. In order to ensure that you have
the -cw option enabled, please always start xmaple
from the command line, i.e.
% xmaple
and not from the dash / launcher. Also, when
xmaple starts up, you will probably see a message like
When working with xmaple (the GUI version of maple),
Save (Ctrl-s) your worksheet frequently to
guard against software/hardware crashes. (This comment
clearly applies to the use of any
editing/composition software.)
