WHAT IS EXPLORING DRAMA?
______________________
EXPLORING DRAMA is intended for use by students in the U. S.
Naval Academy's plebe year English course, Rhetoric and
Introduction to Literature. Drama is one of the literary
genres to which students are introduced in that course.
What we have needed is a way to convey background
information to them to widen the scope of their knowledge a
bit. Class work normally concentrates on reading, analyzing
and writing about a handful of plays chosen by each teacher.
What we have needed is something to give students a overview
of the subject matter most often taught and to introduce
them to the terminology used in class discussions.
Using IBM's LINKWAY, Professor David Tomlinson developed
this material for use by the students during the summer of
1990 and made additions and revisions during 1991. His work
was funded by an IDP grant furnished by the Naval Academy.
The information contained in the program is generally
available information. The originality of the program is to
make it easily available to each student. All students at
the Academy must purchase a computer on entrance; and the
program is being made available to each of them free of any
cost using IBM's LINKWAY runtime program.
HOW CAN I INSTALL EXPLORING DRAMA?
__________________________________
Place the installation disk in the A drive and type
"install." The installation program will copy the packed
file DRAMA15.EXE to your hard disk and unpack it. [If you
wish to install the program from the B drive use the DOS
assign command: ASSIGN B=A. Then treat the B drive as
though it were the A drive.]
The program requires 512K of memory and EGA/VGA color as
well as a mouse. Once the files are copied to the directory
you name, merely type GO to begin using the program.
The unpacked files require about 1.65M of space. Once the
files are unpacked, you may delete DRAMA15.EXE, recovering
300K of storage space.
HOW DO I USE EXPLORING DRAMA?
_____________________________
The program requires virtually no explanation for use. The
first screen, the IBM runtime screen instructs you to push
any key to continue. The second screen contains two buttons
at the bottom: EXIT and NEXT. Choose NEXT to continue the
program. Choose it by moving the mouse pointer to the word
and clicking the left mouse button.
You are on your way.
If you still feel uneasy about using the program, choose the
HELP button or the INTRODUCTION on the first program page
which appears.
