I include below some explanations on how to prepare your 
midterm or final projects.

For the Midterm you should organize your documents and 
present them so that they are easy to read, with a table of 
contents, an introduction, and so that each chapter follows 
the previous one, in an understandable way.

I give you below directions on how to produce your Midterm 
project from your HTML documents:

a) You can use the 'p' option in Lynx to produce a text file 
   from an HTML document. You have to repeat this process 
   for each HTML document.

   Be careful to use, for each text file, a name different 
   from your HTML document. For example, use the same name, 
   but replace the 'html' extension by another extension, 
   for example 'txt'.

   It might be safer to do that in a separate subdirectory, 
   different from your current directory.

b) Once you have created your text files, you can use the 
   UNIX command 'cat' to concatenate your text documents 
   into one document for your midterm.

   The fastest is to use wild cards (using the '*' wild card 
   symbol). If for example all your text files have the 
   extension 'txt', you could type:

         cat *txt > midterm

   The problem is that the files might not be placed in the 
   proper order, in your midterm document.

   A better way is to name your documents one by one, in the 
   cat command. 

   For example, you can concatenate files 'filea', 'fileb', 
   'filec'...  into a document called 'midterm', using:

       cat filea fileb filec > midterm

   you can concatenate as many files as you want.

c) You can then edit file 'midterm' to rearrange it the way 
   you want.

d) then you will be ready to submit your midterm through the 
   electronic student system.

Your midterm should be submitted as one document.
