   Browsing Help
   ─────────────
        This help text, and the text in other program "views", can be 
   viewed by using the cursor keys to scroll through the text.  The DOWN 
   and UP arrow keys move forward and backward in the text one line at a 
   time.  The PgDn and PgUp keys move forward and backward in the text 
   one screen at a time.  
   
        The current line indicator (\i">"\i) in the far left screen column
   marks your current line position. In the same column, the percent sign 
   (\i"%"\i) visually represents your relative position in the help text 
   file.  You may change the current line's display by pressing the 
   \i"A"\i key to cycle through three possible display choices -- normal, 
   highlight or intensified.  Also, the current line can be "anchored" on 
   a display screen line by turning on the \iscroll-lock\i feature.  
   
        You can go directly to specific help topics by pressing the "F8" 
   function key to obtain a list of topics to choose from.  You also can 
   use Ctrl-PgDn and Ctrl-PgUp while browsing to jump to the next or 
   previous topic.  The ESCAPE or ENTER keys exit the Help view and return 
   you to your most recent program view.  

                        NOTE: PRINTING THE HELP TEXT

        You can print this help file by selecting the "F10=Print" option.  
  There are 14 pages of text.

   Paged Document's "Book" Presentation
   ──────────────────────────────────────
        In addition to LookBook documents, the LookBook reader can be used 
   to view DOS Text files such as "read.me" and print files.  The second 
   screen line will show the type of file you are currently reading.  It 
   will either say "Paged Document" or "DOS Text".  If it says "Paged 
   Document", you are viewing a document that has been "paged" like a 
   traditional book (or manual, catalog newsletter, etc.).  
          
        The LookBook reader presents these "paged documents" in an 
   environment that looks and acts like a traditional book -- letting you 
   use your computer text as you normally use printed text.  The LookBook 
   reader lets you "turn" pages via the Ctrl-PgUp & PgDn keys and go 
   directly to pages using the "F5=Goto" function.  Also, the reader 
   provides support functions that let you perform other traditional book 
   operations such as: 

          ■  Opening to pages from a Table of Contents.
          ■  Word/phrase look up from "back of book" style Index.
          ■  Book marking with date stamping and contexts.
          ■  Writing notes and linking them to pages.

   "Views"
   ───────
        The term "views" describes the document and supporting functions' 
   review screens.  Browsing the document and support views works just like 
   the review of this help information (see Browsing Help).  

        Each view's text appears as it would on a printed page or as it 
   would be stored in a typical computer print file.  The program presents 
   the text lines for you to read by scrolling the text file according to 
   your cursor key commands.  In addition, the program intelligently reads 
   the text according to the purpose of a view and the specific actions 
   that you request -- such as retrieving a page or linking a note.  
   
        You can go to any view by pressing the view's letter key.  For 
   example, "D"  will take you to the document view and "I" will take you 
   to the index view and so on.  The following table summarizes the views 
   and their "key letters".

   Viewing DOS Text Files
   ──────────────────────
        DOS text or ASCII, pronounced "ASKEY", refers to a file structure
   common to all DOS based computers.  The structure of these files allows
   them to be read or printed "as is".  Common examples of DOS text files 
   are "read.me" and print files. 

        When using the LookBook reader with DOS text files you will have 
   access to all of the LookBook features except the "Index View".  Also, 
   the "Table of Contents View" requires a prepared contents list file.


   Using the ENTER Key Shortcut
   ────────────────────────────
        The ENTER key can be used to switch between the document view and 
   the last used support view.  The ENTER key displays the "View/Option"
   selection window that allows you to switch between views by "point and 
   shoot" cursor key highlighting.   The selection window also provides 
   fast access to the frequently used program options.  


   ALT Key for Function Descriptions
   ─────────────────────────────────
        The LookBook reader's abbreviated function descriptions appear via 
   drop down windows that can be summoned with the ALT key.  You can move 
   through the description windows by using the LEFT and RIGHT cursor arrow 
   keys.  Pressing the ENTER key will select the current window's function.  
   Functions also can be selected by using the function key or the first 
   letter of the function description.  The first letter method also works 
   when selecting options within a function.  


   The ESCAPE Key
   ──────────────
        Use the ESCAPE key when you wish to end or back out of a choice 
   path.  The program protects you by providing prompts to guide you 
   through potentially confusing situations.  


   "Option Not Available"  
   ──────────────────────
        When using the LookBook reader in a supporting role such as 
   providing on line help to another application, you may encounter an 
   "Option Not Available" message when selecting an option.  This is not a 
   problem, it just means that the parent application chose not to support 
   the particular option.  
     

   Using \i"F7=Search"\i to Locate Text in Views
   ─────────────────────────────────────────
        You can search each view, including this help view, to find words 
   and phrases.  Upon selecting the "F7=Search" function you will be given 
   the following options: 

   ■ Modify current phrase
       Edit the most recent search word or phrase.

   ■ Key new phrase
       Enter a brand new word or phrase to look for.

   ■ Start forward search
       Starts looking for the search phrase in the text following the 
       current line. You also can start the search from the entry line by 
       pressing the down arrow key.  

   ■ Start backward search
       Starts looking for the search phrase in the text that precedes your 
       current line position.  You also can start the search from the text 
       entry line by pressing the up arrow key.  

   ■ Match upper and lower case
       This option turns case sensitivity OFF and ON.  When turned OFF the 
       search function will look for any matching text without regard to 
       the upper or lower case status of the text.  With case sensitivity 
       ON, the program will look for exact upper and lower case matches.  
       For example, a case sensitive search for "Canyon" would find 
       "Canyon" in the phrase "We visited the Grand Canyon.", but not 
       "canyon" in the phrase, "the trail into the canyon was narrow." 

   ■ Match whole word
       This option turns "whole word" searching OFF and ON.  The search 
       function considers a whole word to be matching text that does not 
       have a preceding or following alphabetic character.  For example, 
       "can" would be not found as a whole word in this text, "To be 
       candid", but would be found in this text, "Mike did 'can' the 
       winning bucket." 

   ■ Index Occurrences
       This option only appears when you are in the document.  It enables 
       you to select the document location "hits" found for the most recent 
       text index look up.  

   Progress reporting

        After starting a search, a progress window displays the starting 
   percent position and the percent position in progress.  The search can 
   be aborted by pressing any letter key or the space bar.  At the end of 
   a successful search, the program places the target text's line at the
   center of the screen and highlights the target text.  



                                                             \i Document View \i
      
   Document Structure and Use
   ──────────────────────────
        The document view is the focal point of the program.  The program 
   exits from this view and the utility functions are selected from this 
   view.  The text can be browsed using the cursor keys and pages can be 
   turned (in prepared documents) by using the Ctrl-PgDn and Ctrl-PgUp key 
   combinations.  

   Current Line ">"
   ────────────────
        The current line, indicated by a "greater than" sign (">"), serves 
   two purposes.  First, it signifies the beginning position for searches.  
   Secondly, it marks the text line that the program uses to extract 
   auxiliary program commands.  
         
   Auxiliary Commands
   ──────────────────
        Auxiliary commands can be used for such tasks as archive file 
   extraction, displaying images, and for performing other supporting 
   functions.  If a document uses this feature, it will give clear 
   instructions on how to use the auxiliary commands that accompany it.  
  

   Document View Keys
   ──────────────────
      Cursor Keys for Browsing
      ────────────────────────
       Pressing:                 Moves current line:
           Up & Dn Arrow           - Up..Down one line.
           PgUp & PgDn             - Up..Down one screen.
           Ctrl-PgUp & PgDn        - Up..Down one document page.
           Home & End              - To 1st..last document line.
           Ctrl-End                - To top of last page.


      Position Indicators:
      ────────────────────
        ">" - Points to the current line, which is used for command,
              image display and search reference.

        "P" - Replaces ">" when current line points to the first
              line on a page.

        "%" - Displays relative percentage position of the current
              line to the entire document.


      Display Formatting Options:
      ───────────────────────────
        Ctrl-Left & Ctrl-Right   
            These change the amount of characters to be skipped at
            the beginning of the document's text lines.  As the keys 
            are pressed, the text will "pan" in the direction selected. 
            You can use these keys to view the text of documents that
            have more character columns than your screen can display
            at one time. 

        Tab and Shift-Tab  
            These keys change the left margin -- the first character
            column that LookBook uses to display the document text.
            As the keys are pressed the text will adjust to the new
            settings.

        Ctrl-E 
            "Toggles" enhanced display characteristics for DOS text 
            documents and for documents that you are building. As you 
            press the key combination, the display will cycle through the 
            three enhanced text options starting with the current option.  
            The three options include color recognition, highlight 
            recognition, and just text (reveals command codes).  

        "A" or "a" 
            "Toggles" pointer line display through intensified text,
            highlighted (inverse) text and normal display.

   Page and Text Highlighting
   ──────────────────────────
        The text index can be browsed like the document to view index word 
   and page references to the document text. You can use the index view's 
   "F7=Search" function to locate specific index text. Also, the "F8=Topic" 
   feature displays an alphabetic heading list that you can use to "zoom" 
   to a specific alphabetic listing.  

        As you browse the index list you will notice that LookBook 
   highlights words and phrases to signal reference text and cited pages.  
   The highlighted page marks the document page to be retrieved while the 
   highlighted text marks the text referenced on that page.  


   Finding Index Entries in the Document
   ─────────────────────────────────────
        Pressing the ENTER key while in the index view displays the View-
   Option window. The arrow will be on the "Document" choice, and, if the 
   current line included a valid page entry, that page will be shown next 
   to the document option description.  

        When you select the document option, the program presents a prompt 
   to inform you of the reference search. When finding a lone reference, 
   the program will place you in the document view on the line containing 
   the reference text.  When finding multiple references, the program 
   presents a prompt that notifies you that the reference locations have 
   been saved for your selection and review.  These saved references can be 
   later accessed through the Shift-F7 key combination or through the 
   search function's "Index Occurrence Review" option.  

        When a text reference can't be found, the program will prompt that 
   it was unable to find a reference.  When this happens you must review 
   the page manually to locate the intended reference.  Also, you can use 
   the retained search string to search other adjacent pages if you feel 
   that the index page reference is amiss.  


   Index View Options:

                                                    \i Table of Contents View \i


        The table of contents has a traditional format that can be browsed 
   like the document.  The F8=Topic feature enables lengthy table of 
   contents lists to be organized and accessed via a "topic" type outline.  
   The topic feature takes you to different sections of the table of 
   contents automatically.  Also, the "F7=Search" function can be used to 
   locate a specific word or phrase.  

         As your browse the table of contents, the program examines the 
   current line for valid reference pages and reference text.  Any 
   references found will be highlighted. To retrieve the references, press 
   the ENTER key to summon the selection window, then select the document 
   option.  This will take you to the referenced page at the referenced 
   text line.  Upon return, your place in the table of contents will be 
   preserved.  

  Table of Contents Options:

   Setting Book Marks       
   ──────────────────       
        Book marks can be set by placing the current line marker (">") on 
   the desired document text line and then pressing either the "?" or "/" 
   key, or, through the option highlight selection by pressing "F6" and 
   "S".  When setting a book mark, the LookBook reader records the date, 
   page, and up to 25 characters from the beginning of the current text 
   line.  Care should be taken to mark a line containing text.  This 
   enables the book mark's precise location to be retrieved.  
   
   
   Book Mark Retrieval       
   ───────────────────       
        Book marks that you set are stored in a DOS text file.  The 
   program stores your book marks in the order that you create them.
   This means that the most recent book marks will appear at the end
   of the file.

        To retrieve a book mark position you simply browse to the
  desired book mark.  To initiate the retrieval make sure that you have
  placed the current line ">" on the book mark line that contains the
  document page and press ENTER.

        Pressing the ENTER key while in the book mark view will display 
   the View-Option window. The arrow will be on the "Document" choice. If 
   the current line included a valid book mark page entry, that page will 
   be shown next to the document option description.  The book mark page 
   will be retrieved after pressing the ENTER key to confirm your 
   choice.  

        
   Book Mark Editing       
   ─────────────────       
        You may add comments to book marks, create new ones, or delete old 
   ones.  You can do this with the LookBook editor, LB Ed, or with any
   word processor that can write to a DOS text file.  

        The LookBook reader automatically invokes its own editor, LB Ed,
   unless you have indicated another word processor's command (see File-
   Utilities topic).  LB Ed follows normal word processing conventions and 
   provides on line help via the "F1" key.  

        The LookBook reader lets you establish an alternate directory for 
   storing book mark files.  Without the alternate directory indication, 
   book mark files will be expected to reside in the same directory as the 
   document.  

        The command that invokes book mark creation can be modified before 
   confirmation.  Usually the command's contents would be confirmed without 
   change.  However, you have the opportunity to examine and change the 
   command and file names if desired.  The command line also can be used to 
   select the half screen operation of LB Ed (see using LB Ed).  


   Your Book Marks       
   ───────────────       
        Book marks that you manually record should use the same format as 
   the program's book marks.  Book mark pages and percentage locations 
   must appear as the last text on the line.  Search text should be 
   enclosed by quotes.  If quotes appear in the search text you must 
   further enclose the enclosing quotes with asterisks.  Pages must use 
   the document's page format -- either chapter (12-1234a) or consecutive 
   numbering (1234a).  Percentage locations must be followed by a percent 
   sign (1%, 12.12%, etc.).  

      Examples:
      ─────────
        This will work:
        ───────────────

                  see also *"Delaware"*               page   258

                 Please note that the column position of the pages
                 is unimportant so long as they appear last.

        And, so will this:

        You may add and edit notes with the LookBook editor, LB Ed, or 
   with any word processor that can write to a DOS text file.  The 
   LookBook reader automatically invokes LB Ed unless you have indicated 
   another word processor's command (see File-Utilities topic).  LB Ed 
   follows normal word processing conventions and provides on line help 
   via the "F1" key.  

        The LookBook reader lets you choose an alternate directory for 
   storing note files.  If you don't choose an alternate directory, note 
   files will be expected to reside in the document's drive and directory.

        The command that invokes note creation can be modified before 
   confirmation.  Usually the command's contents would be confirmed 
   without change.  However, you have the opportunity to examine and 
   change the command and file names if desired.  The command line also 
   can be used to select the half screen operation of LB Ed (see using 
   LB Ed).  

        LookBook accomplishes note page linking through the text search
   routine.  This gives you the ability to link notes through an easy to
   understand text convention.  Simply precede your notes with the 
   appropriate document page number and enclose them in brackets "{}".  

        Page referenced notes can be found later through the "F5=PageLink"
  function.   The "F5=PageLink" function will automatically search for the 
  references to the most recently viewed document page. 


        Note Examples:
        ─────────────

       {123}
       Line 10 of page 123 should read:
       " This is a note that is attached to page 123 and . . ."


       {A-2a}
       This is a sample note that would pertain to data       
       found on page 2a of appendix A . . .

   Using LB Ed to Create Notes and Book Marks
   ──────────────────────────────────────────
        The LookBook editor, LB Ed, is a limited feature text editor/word 
   processor that works with the LookBook reader to let you create note 
   and book mark files.  It includes standard features required for text 
   editing such as searching and block operations.  LB Ed's on-line help, 
   invoked via the "F1" key, lists the available features and the keys used 
   to select them.  

        To accommodate other editor and word processors (see Editor Command 
   under configuration topic), LookBook's editor provides editing 
   capabilities through a stand alone program that the program loads  
   through a standard DOS command.  When you select the note or book mark 
   creation functions the LookBook reader places the appropriate editor 
   command line on the first screen line for review and editing as shown 
   here: 


                          Command     File Path
                          ----------  -------------------
                Example:  C:\LB\LBED  C:\EXAMP\LBOOK.NOT

        The command appears as a DOS command that would be entered at the 
   DOS prompt.  The first part of the command is the program name and path.  
   The second part of the command is the file to be edited.  Note and book 
   mark files have the same name (first 8 letters) as their "parent" 
   document and an extension of "PIN" for book mark entries and "NOT" for 
   notes.  

        You may modify the command and signal your acceptance with the 
   ENTER key.  Upon acceptance, the target file will be opened if it 
   exists.  If it doesn't exist, the LookBook editor will request 
   permission to create it.  Upon exit, the LookBook editor will ask 
   permission to update the disk file if it detects that changes may have 
   been made to the file.  
   

   Half Screen Mode
   ────────────────
        The LookBook editor can be used in a half screen window, placed 
   over the document text.  This mode can be selected by directly invoking 
   LookBook editor from the document view.  This can be done by pressing 
   the Ctrl-B (book marks) or Ctrl-N (notes) combinations.  

        The half screen mode can be selected by appending a "space plus" 
   (" +") or "space minus" (" -") to the editor command before pressing 
   ENTER to confirm the command.  The plus sign places the LookBook 
   editor window at the top of the screen, while the minus sign places 
   the window at the bottom of the screen.  


          Example:  C:\LB\LBED C:\EXAMP\LBOOK.NOT +  (top half)

          Example:  C:\LB\LBED C:\EXAMP\LBOOK.NOT -  (bottom half)


   LookBook Editor File Sizes and Screen Dimensions
   ────────────────────────────────────────────────
        The LookBook editor uses the LookBook reader's row and column 
   settings and takes its colors from the LookBook configuration file.  
   The LookBook editor has a maximum file size of 1,000 lines or 40k.  A 
   warning will be given when the file size approaches the limits.  

   Errors and Memory Requirements
   ──────────────────────────────
        Your document may have been distributed without a copy of the 
   editor.  If the LookBook (or your designated) editor can't be started, 
   the LookBook reader displays an error message.  This situation will 
   likely occur when the program file can't be found, or when available 
   memory is insufficient to load the editor.  

                                                          \i File - Utilities \i

    Selecting Colors 
    ────────────────
         The color selection facility (F10-S) provides four predefined 
    color schemes and two predefined monochrome schemes.  The monochrome 
    schemes are black over white, or white over black and cannot be 
    changed.  The color schemes can be used "as is", or modified on an 
    item by item basis.  

         To select colors press F10 and then S. This displays the color 
    selection screen where predefined schemes can be selected and 
    optionally customized.  You can use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys 
    to "toggle" choices and then confirm them by pressing the ENTER key.  
    Once you confirm a choice, the sample portion of the screen displays 
    the new choice.  

         You may experiment with different color combinations and choose 
    to abandon your changes or accept hem for use during the current 
    session only, or, save them for future sessions.  


    Use Doc/Set Colors
    ──────────────────
         A unique feature of LookBook is the ability to imbed color 
    commands for text highlighting.  A document that uses imbedded color 
    commands must establish its own color scheme to avoid problems of 
    invisible text and ugly color combinations.  The program uses the 
    document's color scheme on opening, overriding your selected color 
    scheme.  The "Doc/Set Colors" option swaps between the document color 
    scheme and your selected color scheme.  The program adjusts the 
    document's color to the new colors and retains as much highlighting 
    as possible.  
       

    Program Setup
    ─────────────

       Editor Command
       ──────────────
            The Editor Command variable enables you to record the command 
       to replace the LookBook editor, LB Ed, with your word processor.  
       It is best to include the command drive and directory.  For 
       example in "c:\wordproc\wp", the command used to execute your word 
       processor would be "wp" - located on drive "C" in the directory 
       "wordproc".  
 

       Directory for Notes and Book Marks
       ──────────────────────────────────
            You can record a specific directory location for document 
       notes and book marks.  Normally, LookBook stores a document's 
       notes and book marks in the document's drive and directory.  This 
       is not workable when a document resides on a CD-ROM or other write 
       protected media. Since it is impossible to write to this type of 
       disk, you must specify an alternate system drive and directory 
       where the notes and book marks can be written.  


       Video Options
       ─────────────

       Use the left and right cursor arrow keys to choose: 

       Point Line Type - This selection lets you choose how to 
                         display the current line. The choices
                         are "hilite", intense and normal.

       Enhanced Text -   This selection lets you "toggle" the 
                         recognition of imbedded display commands.
                         This does not work for "paged documents".
   
       Snow Filter     - Turn ON for CGA systems that flicker,
                         other than CGA will register NA.


       Updating Configuration options
       ──────────────────────────────
            After recording your configuration choices you may save them 
       to disk, use them for the current session only, or abandon any 
       changes just made.  


    Margin and Skip Positions
    ─────────────────────────
         This capability can be used with DOS text files to center the 
    text display or bring "off screen" text into view.  The skip setting 
    ignores beginning text.  The margin setting will adjust the left 
    margin.  


    Text Mark and Print
    ───────────────────
         This feature lets you highlight portions of the document's text
    for printing or capture to another file.  The program provides prompts
    to guide you and lets you escape when desired. 
 
         You will be given an opportunity to remove "text commands" 
    before printing.  These commands provide color highlighting signals
    and are useful only under LookBook,  so you would normally want
    to remove them.

    File Sizes, Pages
    ─────────────────
          This option presents an information screen that lists the 
    actual LookBook pages assigned and the equivalent printed pages that 
    each view's text would require.  It also gives the number of topics 
    assigned for each view.
