Thanks, Eric, for putting up with me for the past hour while I figured
out how to do this. I've written up instructions and they worked for
me. Would some of you other stalwart souls like to test drive this?
If it works we can post it as a FAQ.
**************************************
It is possible to set up a host presenter profile for Barton.
This will allow you to connect directly to Barton's server without
first logging into Athena. Here's how to do it:
1. Open your LAN Workplace for Windows icon, or other icon if you've
moved Host Presenter on your machine. Now, double click on Host
Presenter. An Open Session box will open, with your default host
ready for you to log onto. Click on Cancel.
2. At the top of the Host Presenter window, click on Setup, and
change the session name to Barton and the host to emmy.mit.edu.
3. Still within the Setup window, click on Profile. Select Save As,
and change the File Name to emmy.php. Click on OK in the Save As
window, and again in the Setup window.
4. You should now be in a Barton window. Click on Setup, and in the
Setup window select Emulator. Select Keyboard, and be sure the
Backspace Key is set for Delete. Press OK in the Keyboard Setup
window and again in the Setup window. You may now log into Barton.
5. The next time you wish to log in, you may open Host Presenter,
click on Load Profile, and select emmy.php.
OR
6. Return to the Program Manager. Open the group that you want
Barton to appear in. (For example, you can keep it as an option
within Lan Workplace, or put it in Applications if you have set that
up as a group.) At the top of the Program Manager window, click on
File and select New. Click on Program Item and OK. Change
Description to Barton.
7. Now, in the Program Item Properties window, click on Browse. In
the bottom left of the window, there is a box labelled List Files of
Type; click on the down arrow to change this box to All Files.
8. In the box marked Directories, click on the c:\ directory. Scroll
down the list, and double click on net. Scroll down that list, and
double click on profile.
9. In the File Name listing at the left of the box you should now see
emmy.php listed. Click on it, and then on OK, and OK again in the
Program Item Properties window.
10. TA DA! Next time you get the urge to open Barton, open
Applications and you'll see the icon.
