═══ 1. Using RxMem... ═══

 Introduction 

 RxMem is a database for code fragments you use frequently in your projects, 
especially ones you've devised yourself. Its advantage over similar tools which 
manage code templates is its 'popup nature'. It will only appear on your 
(already cluttered!) screen when you place the mouse pointer in the corner 
you've assigned to it (initially, this is the top left corner). Press Hide when 
you've finished using RxMem for the time being. Doing so, will also cause the 
program to 'nap' for two seconds, just in case there's something in that hot 
corner you wish to access without the popup panel's interference. 

 Usage 

 The program allows you to Fetch code fragments from any editing tool via the 
clipboard. Similarly, you can Export them to the project you're working on. 
Such elements of program code have two main keys: their Category and their 
Function. The former is a kind of overall header, grouping as many code 
templates as you wish. The latter is a brief descriptive title for an 
individual item of code. When RxMem is evoked or re-evoked, the Contents list 
displays all the categories you've created in the database. Clicking, or 
double-clicking one of these takes you to a list of actual code fragments, 
described by their functions. Just to demonstrate this, I've already placed two 
categories with a total of three ReXX code fragments in the database. Delete 
them if you wish, especially if you're not a ReXX programmer. Deleting all 
templates in a category automatically deletes the category as well. 

 The Code field contains the actual fragments in the database, while the 
Purpose window is for descriptions and comments. You can Add entries or Modify 
existing ones by pressing the appropriate buttons after you've made the 
required changes to all the fields. And - of course - you can Delete records, 
too. 

 The Bookcase - represented by an icon - is merely a standard OS/2 folder. It's 
intended to accomodate shadow objects of files you wish to 'take along with 
you' when working on a project - especially .inf files. Since the Bookcase 
folder is hidden when you hide RxMem itself your screen is spared yet another 
open window.
