6. How to Use the CD Insert CD Double-click on ‘Index.html’
This should bring you to the home page for COPT

8. Notes on Design
Every topic has both a ‘quick tips’ section and extensive information to accommodate differences in literacy - and spare time.

This repetition was done on purpose to make the CD and website easier to use.
You can get the information you need from multiple pages.

9. If you don’t have a CD
Open the web browser (Netscape, Explorer or whatever you use).
Type in the following web address:
