LEARNING THE NAMES The people who make and run the computers have already given names to almost all of the devices you'll ever use. SOME NAMES OCCUR FAIRLY OFTEN LP --> a line printer LDEV --> a "logical device", usually with a number added on -->> it could be a terminal -- mine is called LDEV26 -->> it could be a tape drive -- it's known as LDEV7 -->> it could be a printer -- one is called LDEV6 These are probably the most useful ones to know in the beginning. There are others. It's even possible that your computer operator has assigned new names to the devices called LP and LDEV. Maybe...or maybe not. But if they have, don't let that bother you. Just learn the names that are being used. Ask your operator or the people you know who are using the same computer. Please pressBack to Main Index
