Getting a waimea prompt

The NIRSPEC host computer is named waimea and one must be logged in to it as user nirspec to run command line scripts and programmes.

On other pages all references to a "command line" or "a waimea window" refer to entering commands at the prompt, in a terminal window of some kind that is logged into waimea

If you are in front of a computer in Remote Ops 2 that is logged in as "nirspec", you can open a window on waimea by putting the mouse pointer on the blue background, holding down the right button, going into the Login Windows menu, and letting up on xgterm 'waimea' (NIRSPEC).
