GETTING STARTED WITH HP-UX

This is a very brief overview of how to use the HP-UX system: how to log in and log out, how to communicate through your machine, and how to run a program.

HP-UX uses control characters to perform certain functions. Control characters are generally shown in the form Ãx, such as ÃD for Control-D. Hold down the Control (Ctrl) key while you press the character key.
