Download instructions

Before you begin these instructions, make sure that you have a floppy disk with enough space to hold the file(s) you wish to download. You must also know the file's name, and where the file is located (what directory it is in). For the sake of these instructions, let's assume that the file is in the P:\Math and Computer Science\rmolmen\excel directory.

1. Turn on the computer and monitor (if it is not already on) and wait until you see a warning box which tells you not to try to log in unless you are associated with BW.
2. Click on the OK button in the warning box.
3. Wait until you see a login dialog box.
4. Enter your user name (usually your first initial and last name, all in lower case, as one word, up to 8 characters) and your password (initially your first and last initial, the last two digits of your birth year, and the last four digits of your Social Security number.)
5. Wait for the Windows desktop to appear.
6. Insert your disk in the A: drive.
7. Double click on the My Computer icon. A window will appear showing all the data storage drives your computer has available to it.
8. Double click on the Public on 'Slate'(P:\) drive icon.
9. Double click on the Math and Computer Science folder icon.
10. Double click on the rmolmen folder icon.
11. Double click on the excel folder icon.
12. Return to the window showing all the drives. Double click on the A:\ drive icon.
13. Click once on the file you want to transfer. Holding the mouse button down, drag the file to the A:\ drive window.
14. A status dialog box will appear showing how the transfer is going. Once it is finished, you can repeat the steps above to transfer another file, if desired.
15. When you have transferred all the files you want to, click on the Close (x) button in the upper right corner of each of the windows to close them.
