From the Start menu, start SSH Secure Shell client. From the SSH Secure Shell window, select Quick Connect. In the Connect to Remote Host window, enter as in the following.
Host Name: tombstone.princeton.edu
User Name: username (replace "username" with your username)
Port Number: 22
Authentication Method:<Profile Settings>
The last two should be the default and you wouldn't need to change them. Click Connect.
Type your password in the next window.
For a few seconds, a window with the title "Add Profile" would appear. You can type a name for the profile to use it in the future. This will be stored under Profiles in the Secure Shell window.
Once your prompt comes up, type stata and hit return. It would look like:
tombstone.Princeton.EDU% stata
This starts Stata. You would notice that the prompt changed to Stata's dot (.). In the unix version, you will not have Review window or Variables window, nor separate Command window. The commands you type at the prompt appear on the screen with the results.
The commands are the same as in Windows' version. For help in using Stata in general, please check DSS web sites. Some of the shortcuts from the keyboard work differently in Secure Shell. Page Up key will not work to bring the last command, but instead you can type Ctrl-r (press r while holding control key).
