Carlson) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next Subject: Novice questions Message-ID: Date: 8 Mar 90 19:01:23 GMT Organization: Art, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 14 I have accumulated these questions after a week of playing with my new NeXT. Can anyone help me with some answers? 1. "The NeXT User's Reference Manual" -- where is this phantom document? Is it the same as the "User Manuals Release 0.9"? If so, is there a 1.0 release? 2. I can't su to root. In contradiction to the man page on su, I am not prompted for a password. Instead, I get the message "You do not have permission to su root." 3. How do I change a file's application? I ftp'd some Mathematica notebooks to my cube; since they're just text files, their application is set to Edit. I need to change that to Mathematica.
