Telnet.
In windows, go to Start, select Run, type telnet Hawk.cns.iit.edu,
this opens a black and white window: after you provide your username
and password (To start with, your user password is your ID/SS number),

To
get your account ready for homing your web pages: Mkweb is a routine
to create automatically an environment for web pages in your account.
Once you have the prompt (for example: Hawk:/usr2/student/c/clinton>
) simply type mkweb.
It will create a www subdirectory in which you will place all your web
pages and it will also create an index web page (you can edit its content
but not change the name index.html). You will need to use mkweb only
once (to get your account ready for the homing your web pages.)

hesitate to call the CNS Helpdesk at (312) 567 5810. (they are already
very busy answering my questions, but they will be happy to answer yours
too. They are nice and patient!)
