 +== Step 15 ==
 +Read the output of the submit command carefully. If there are errors with your submission you may be forced to re-submit your corrected work.
 +
 +
 +
 +== Step 18 ==
 +You may re-submit your work as many times as you like. Every time you make changes to your work on your computer, you must re-transfer your work using ''scp'' (using a terminal window on your computer) and re-submit by typing in the submit command (using a terminal window where you are logged into **red**).
 +
 +Your remote login session ends automatically if you don't enter any commands for a certain period of time. If this happens, you will see a message that mentions a ''broken pipe'' and your terminal prompt will show the name of your computer (indicating that you are no longer remotely logged into **red**). If this happens,
 +run the **ssh** program again to log back into **red**.
