The best way to learn about Quick Titles is to enter "b<return>" for
border or "t<return>" for text at the first prompt (the main prompt), and
to press F1 at all the prompts that follow, so that you learn what options
are available from the many pictorial help screens. It's all quite easy.
While you're entering text, be sure to press F1. This will tell you
how to get special features such as automatic text centering. Word wrap
and letter wrap are automatic, even for large fonts.
Remember that the backspace (when entering text) or "u" (for "Undo",
entered at the main prompt) will quickly erase any errors you've made.
Use "u" (Undo) at the main prompt to remove borders or "a" to undo all.
Later, you'll find that there are shortcuts; even faster ways of
using Quick Titles: many complete commands (such as "r9010" or "m8") can
be entered at the main prompt (the prompt with ">" at the start). That
way, you don't have to answer any further sub-prompts in order to place
a border on the screen, or start entering text. See other help screens,
as well as any attached documentation files, for more information.
Don't forget to press Function key 1 often for attractive help screens!
Press F2 for a demonstration, or any key to begin ...
The titles and screens that you create with "Quick Titles" are built
from the top down, according to your orders at the prompt line below.
Press "b" and then "Enter" (or "Return") at this prompt to start the
process of placing a border onto the screen (then press F1 at the next
prompt, to view the many sorts of borders that you can use).
Press "t" (and then "Return") to place text on the screen. At the next
prompt, press F1 to view the various sorts of text you can choose from.
Press "s" (and then Return) at this, the main prompt, to put vertical
spaces between borders or lines of text. A single blank row will be
inserted, invisibly, after what's on the screen. "s2" places two rows.
Press "u" (and then Return) to undo whatever you did last.
Press "Escape" to back up to the main prompt (which you see below).
Press either "Escape" or "e" (for end) when you're done. You will
then be asked whether you want to save your stunning creative work.
You can enter an order now, below: (or press F1 again for more info)
Here are most of the commands you can use at this, the main prompt:
a (again) - scrap this title and start afresh
b (border) - to place a border onto the screen
e (end) - to quit, when your title is complete (or ALT-X)
f (file) - to save graphic as a file (ALT-S also works)
i (in) - to load in an ASCII file (ALT-L also works)
j (big block) - to place large "blockish" text on the screen
k (block) - to place "blockish" style text on the screen
l (large) - to place large text on the screen
m (medium) - to place medium text onto the screen
n (normal) - for regular text, the same size as you are reading
o (outline) - to place short outline text onto the screen
s (space) - to place a vertical space or spaces onto the screen
t (text) - to place some sort of text on the screen
u or backspace (undo) - erases the last letter or border placed
x (extended) - to place streched medium text on the screen
z (extended) - to place stretched outline text onto the screen
d (delay), v(view), !(loop), w(wait) - for automatic mode
Don't neglect to use F1 later on for other context sensitive help!
Press F1 now for still more help, about shortcuts and automatic mode.
You also have a few options that can help you to enter your orders
for text and borders more quickly:
Rather than specifying "t" for text and then "o" for the shorter
outlined letters at the next prompt, just enter "o" at the first
prompt.
Instead of entering "o" for outlined letters and then "6" for
style 6 at a subsequent prompt, you can just enter "o6".
Rather than specifying "b" for border and then the number at the
next prompt, and the style at the prompt after that, you can specify,
say, "2013" at the main prompt to place a style 2 border 13 on the
screen, or, say, "1205" to place a style 12 version of border 5 onto
the screen. An "r" (for "reverse") in front of such a border number
will turn the border upside down. (eg, "r1205" mirrors border 1205).
In this way 1000 means a single straight line, 2000 means a double
straight line, 3000 a thicker single line shifted down, etc.
Press F1 now to learn how to operate Quick Titles by remote control
from the command line, or the spacebar to return to the main prompt.
It is possible to feed Quick Titles a string of orders as an argument at
the command line, which it will then carry out automatically, creating the
message you wish to display on the screen, without having to receive any
input from the keyboard. Just create a string of orders as you would enter
them at the command line, using "#" to represent a carriage return at the
command line, "%" for a carriage return in the middle of text, and the
underline "_" to represent any spaces. Use a "v" to display the screen
(or "f" to save it as "screen.txt"), and "w" to wait for a keypress:
c>titles r1210#m8#@Hello_World%from_quick_titles#s#1210#v#w#a
Alternatively, put a file name as an argument and place the order string
you wish in that file (split into as many lines as you like).
"qt-demo.ord" is such a file, and worth examining as a sample.
You can place delays and change screens to create a changing display: "d20"
creates a two second delay, "d1" a tenth of a second delay, etc. Just "d"
creates a one second delay. "a" functions to start a new title, as usual;
and "!" will loop Quick Titles back to the first order, for repeating
displays. Thus the code fragment: #v#d60#a# puts a six-second delay between
two screens, and the code fragment #v#d#d#d#!# delays 3 seconds and then
starts performing your orders again, from the beginning. A press of the
Escape key will get you out of any looping, delaying, or waiting.

Borders which are NOT made exclusively with lines can be displayed
with only 3 distinct styles (because many style choices turn out the
same results). Below, border 36 is used to illustrate the styles available
for such borders...

Putting a border above and the reversed border below your QuickTitle
(or vice versa) gives a pleasing (vertical) symmetry to your work.
Line drawn borders usually reverse quite well, as do borders 30
through 35, which are intended to be used this way. Note that
"shifted up" borders, when reversed, become "shifted down".
"r3021" entered at the main prompt will give you the mirror image
of a style 3 border 21.
Borders that are only 1 row deep cannot be reversed.

Exception: the style 3 'q' is preferrable to the style 4 'q'.
No extra vertical spacing is needed between rows of medium-sized letters.
Styles 7 and 8 are recommended as the best for medium letters.
Letters are available in capitals as well.
'x', 'v', and 'z' are handled best by fonts 1 and 7.
For any font: if you wish to place an extra single space between letters,
press either '}' or the left arrow key after each letter.

Outline letters style 3 are shown inflated to 1 x 1, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, and
1 x 3 (1 times as high and 3 times as wide) their usual size.
If you make an error in entering text, the backspace will remove it.
(Borders and vertical spaces must be removed with undo however).
Digits and some punctuation are available for most fonts.
In addition, some characters have special effects:
"@" - (or ALT-C) will trigger automatic line centering - after entering,
further lines of text will be centered when you press return.
"^" - will start all lines at the center of the screen.
"&" - cancels the above special characters: any further lines will
be started at the left margin, and won't be automatically
centered.
"}" - will add a space to the current line exactly one column wide:
can be used to put extra spaces between letters and between
letters and punctuation.
"{" - will move the next letter entered back exactly one column.
(This is used to reduce the amount of space between letters).
It is possible to mix different styles and sizes of letters on one line.
When you want to change to a different font or border, etc, press ESCAPE.
