Getting started with DataExplorer.

• To get started, login to one of the HP machines in the CS Laboratory (Room 108, Hovland Hall). You may use any machine except Python.
• Click here to download some utilities you will need. When the dialog box appears, save the file as "macros.tar" in a convenient directory.
• Execute the command
  tar -xvf macros.tar
  This will put the utilities in a new directory called .DXmacros.
• Add the line
  setenv DXMACROS ~myid/.DXmacros
to your .cshrc file. If you put the macros in some subdirectory, then you should change this to give the pathname to that subdirectory. Note that "myid" is a placeholder for your user id.
• Execute the command
  source .cshrc
  This will cause the macros to become available to DX when it starts up. This command is executed automatically whenever you login or open a new window.

DX has extensive on-line help, including tutorials and a complete manual which you can look at by clicking the Help menu in the upper right of the editor window. You can also click the middle button over any object (module, menu) to get context sensitive help. Experiment! Have fun!
