Welcome to HP VUE

HP VUE is Hewlett Packards fancy new Graphical User Interface or GUI for short. It is quite powerful and has a lot of nifty features that make using a UNIX based workstation much more user friendly. This is a basic introduction to HP VUE to help get you started, for more indepth coverage of its features the HELP included with the package is excellent and if your really in a bind there is always the manuals which should be somewhere nearby.

HP VUE Features

• Windows and workspaces. What your reading right now is printed in a window. The HP VUE windows are similar to MS windows and are handled in a similar manner. The main advantage of windows is that they allow you to run several different programs or applications, as the computer literate call them, at the same time. This multi-tasking capability is extended even farther by the use of workspaces. Workspaces let your single display work as several displays. Changing your workspace is done with the push of a "button".
• Icon-based file management. Files and directories are represented by icons that can be selected and moved on the display.
• Easy to use Text Editor.
• Easy customization. Colors, fonts, window behavior and other aspects of the appearance and behavior of your workstation are easily changed and modified.
• Front Panel and toolboxes. The front panel allows easy access to most applications by simply "clicking" on the icon representation.
