Glossary
Drag
To move the mouse (and
hence the pointer on the screen)
while holding down one or more of
its buttons. This process specifies
two separate locations on the
screen for those operations that
require two: the location when the
mouse button is pressed, and the
location when it is released. This is
used, for example, to initiate a
file-copy by pressing the mouse
button on the file to be copied,
dragging the file’s icon to the
destination window, and releasing
the mouse button there.
Another
common using of dragging is to
specify the upper-left and
lower-right corners of a new
window or similar rectangle
See
also drop.
Drive
See CD-ROM drive, DDS
tape drive, floppy drive, hard disk
drive
Drop
To release the mouse button
after having moved the mouse with
its button held down, in order to
position an icon or other object
that has been “dragged” to a new
position
See also drag.
e
EEPROM.
Electronically erasable
read-only memory. Usually bytes
or words can be erased and
reprogrammed individually during
system operations. The EEPROM
is used for storing configuration
information that will be
“remembered” after a reboot and
AC power loss.
Environment
The conditions in
which your commands or programs
are executed. These conditions
include your workstation
characteristics, home directory,
and default search paths
See also
environment variables.
Environment variables
The set
of defined shell variables (some of
which are
PATH
,
TERM
,
SHELL
,
EXINIT
, and
HOME
) that define the
conditions in which, or values with
which, your commands are
executed. These conditions and
values include your workstation
characteristics, home directory,
and default search paths
See also
environment.
Ethernet
The LAN developed
jointly by Digital Equipment
Corporation, Intel, and Xerox
Corporation, upon which the IEEE
802.3 network is based.
