The files of this tutorial use the "frames" feature of the HTML browser software. If you are using the browser Netscape and do not have version 2.0 or higher, you will not be able to access the files of this tutorial. A new version of the browser is easy to download, however. See Netscape for assistance.
The weblike arrangement of the tutorial enables the user to browse randomly from topic to topic. A knowledgeable user will be able to skip subtopics or proceed directly to an area of particular interest.
CAUTION TO THE NOVICE USER: The weblike form of this tutorial tempts the user to follow each link offered and, thus, lose the thread of the subtopic originally begun. So it is advisable to limit random browsing from topic to topic when first using the tutorial. The subway lines are provided to help the user stay on the topic thread. In addition, note that the browser provides a way to backtrack through the pages seen using the "Back" button.
The user is strongly encouraged to return to this page, the "Stat Home Page", from any point in the tutorial to leave a comment for the developers of the tutorial. (Click on "Comments" below.) The "house" button for quick return to this page is found on the subway map and on each individual page.
