Tutorials

  This section of the manual is dedicated to tutorials, or example spock sessions which demonstrate how to perform common tasks. No knowledge of spock is assumed for the tutorials, so they are liberally cross-referenced with the manual. The best way to use the tutorials is to actually run through them, and follow the cross references to the appropriate parts of the manual for the parts you don't understand.

Your system administrator should have set up spock properly before you run the tutorials. The setup of spock is described in §3 of the manual.
