From another window, from the main web page, click on the
campus pipeline link.
Login using your e-mail address (example sg23014) as your Login Name,
and your social security number as your Password and then click on ok.
If you have changed your campus pipeline password, then type that in instead
of your social security number.
I can
give you your e-mail address if you don't have it. If you've entered
your e-mail address and your social security number and you can't
get in, you'll need to contact 6266 after class for help. In the meantime,
look on with someone else, and ask me to come over and e-mail you
your file from my account before the end of class.
Click on e-mail. Click on Compose Msg. In the To: field,
type in your e-mail address (example sg23014).
If you use the vax system appstate.edu instead of campus pipeline,
you will need to add @cp.appstate.edu to your e-mail.

a red paperclip next to the message.
Do the same thing for your Wile document if you had a chance to work on it.

outside of lab. In order to do that, you need to
Click on the message that has the attachment in it. Click on

to the red paperclip. This will bring up word and open up your

Then you can open it up from Word from File/Open.
