Getting started

First of all you need to identify where the GSP program is on your computer.  It is either on the desktop (the initial screen) or you can use the Find command to locate it. The GSP icon is a circle with a square and an overlapping triangle and a circle within the square.  It reads GSP 4.0 (or GSP 3.02 for an older version) underneath it.  Double click on this icon and a similar screen (depending on whether you have a PC or a Mac) to the one in Figure 1 should appear.

The software contains many commands and we will introduce only the most useful for this webmodule.  However, familiarity with what commands are available and where they are located is quite useful.  Move the mouse and click on each of them.  Take a few minutes to read the commands.  For instance if you click on the Graph menu, it displays several commands and submenus (Figure 2). 

Figure 2

The black letters indicate that those commands are available, while the gray letters indicate that those commands are not available (i.e. you need to select some geometric objects on which to apply these commands before they become available).  A black arrow pointing to the right as in the Grid Form submenu indicates that there are more commands inside it.  Just click on it and you will see three more commands.
