Question: How do I read the course newsgroup?
Answer:
From your cdf account, do the following
-
Run "netscape".
-
Under "Communicator", click "Newsgroups". This will bring up
a second window (say window #2).
-
In this new window, you have an icon called "Subscribe", click on it, it
will allow you to subscribe to newsgroups. It pops up a third window
(say window #3).
-
In window #3, there are "Newsgroup name" listings.
-
For a particular cs course, say csc418, look for "ut.cdf.csc418h".
Click on it till there is a check mark shown next to it. The click
the "OK" button.
-
By now, your window #2 would have added "ut.cdf.csc418h" in its list.
Click on it, the newsgroup will pop up.
