I did a little more poking today, based on helpful comments from
William, Jason, and Timothy. Part of my problem is I can't read
Japanese so well, so the going is slow :-}
After a little probing, I think I understand the way it works. I have
a couple of questions to clarify a few points:
- I use the "Data" popup to get the file in question
from the client (windows system) to the server
(VMWare/Linux virtual system). The resulting webpage
says that I can refer to the newly "uploaded" file by
"DATA+foo", "foo" being the name of the file.
When I subsequently did an "attach" from the notebook,
I just typed "attach foo" and it worked.
Question: When do I use "DATA+"?
- To develop sage code (i.e., stuff in ".sage" files),
there seems to be two ways to go:
1. Get an ssh client and ssh into the VMWare system,
and use Linux editors. The 'attach' will keep
reloading the modified file.
2. Use a windows editor, and repeatedly upload and
save the file. The 'attach' will keep reloading
the modified file.
Question: Is this correct?
Thanks as always.
