Logging On
Logging on means identifying yourself to the computer. You must
identify yourself as an authorized user by typing your logon identity
(username and account) and a password (if any). If you do not have a
logon identity, ask your system administrator to give you one.
Once you log on, you begin communication with the HP e3000 computer
and can start working.
