UnixWare Methodology

	UnixWare Methodology
Introduction
	UnixWare is an operating system that allows you to use either of
	the following methods to complete most tasks:
	■ Desktop
	■ Shell command-line interface
Desktop
	The desktop is a graphical user interface (GUI) that uses
	windows, icons, and the mouse.
	If you are a beginning UnixWare user, we suggest you use the
	desktop because it is more intuitive and does more error checking
	than the shell command-line interface.
Shell
	The shell command-line interface requires you to type commands
	to work with UnixWare.
	If you are knowledgeable about the UNIX operating system, you
	can use either the shell or the desktop to do your work.
Procedures
	The UnixWare procedures in this book focus on how to use the
in this book	shell. To use the desktop, click on the appropriate icons to open
	the file you want to change, then use the procedure described in
	this book.
See also	See your UnixWare System Owner Handbook for instructions on
	using the desktop.
