How to LEARN to use SAS
-----------------------
SAS is available on the DECstation and RS/6000 platforms. To start it
up, you can invoke it from Dash or from the athena prompt by typing
add sas
sas &
By default, on Athena, SAS starts in the display manager mode, meaning
that three windows will appear on your screen:
* Program Editor window for creating and editing programs
* Log window for error and informational messages
* Output window for results
The SAS/ASSIST module provides an easy-to-use interface to the complex
system and includes an on-line tutorial. To start up ASSIST, choose the
ASSIST option on the Globals menu in any of the three main windows.
After a short time and after creating some sample datasets, the ASSIST
window will appear.
To start the tutorial, click the left mouse button on the Tutorial
button and then follow the menus to learn about SAS.
To exit ASSIST, choose the GoBack button until you get to the top level.
Then choose Exit to quit ASSIST.
To exit SAS, use the Exit... option on the File menu in the Program
Editor window.
