Before all the features of X will seem useful, you will probably want to run an actual program. The easiest way to run a program is to simply click and hold the left mouse button while the cursor is somewhere on the background and then select a program from the menu. The other way, which is still easy, is to simply type the name of the program you would like to run in an Xterm and hit return. For example,
vega1% netscape
will run the web browser netscape. You can use Mosaic to access information
scattered about the internet. In particular, the Computer Sciences
department has a web page containing much information regarding our computing
environment. The first place to click on for this information is Computer Systems Lab (CSL). See Section for more
information about running UNIX programs.
