In setting up your account, one of the things you did was add /home/cs551dl/man to your MANPATH environment variable. This means that there are now manpages available in your path for all of the functions laid out in the OpenGL 1.2 specification. These are also all available through the web. Code examples in the OpenGL Programming Guide are also available, so you don't have to type them in yourself.
