2.2 Accessing the Tutorials

Tutorials I and II are both on line and can be accessed in one of three ways:

• Start Data Explorer with the command:

  dx
  

  then click on Run Tutorial in the Data Explorer Startup window (see Figure 2).. (It is assumed for the rest of the tutorial that this is the method you have used.)
• Start Data Explorer with the command:

  dx -tutor
  

• Choose Tutorial in the Help menu of the Visual Program Editor.

In the Tutorial window, you can:

• Directly access any topic, subtopic, subsubtopic, or related item that is "boxed", simply by clicking on the boxed area.
• Scroll through information that extends beyond the length of the window (using the vertical scroll bar on the right side of the window).
• Return to a topic that you have viewed during the current session, by moving the mouse cursor into the tutorial window and holding the right-hand mouse button: A list of the topics you have viewed appears. While holding the mouse button, move the pointer to the desired topic in the list and release the button.
• Return to the previous topic, by clicking on Go Back at the bottom of the tutorial window.
• Exit the tutorial by clicking on Quit at the bottom of the tutorial window.
