-
- YOUR CONTROL OVER THE DISPLAY
-
- There are six gadgets as well as the cursor keys to help you with the
- text that is displayed.
-
- UP & DOWN ARROWS
- They move the text up or down one line at a time, providing that there
- is more than a window full of text.
-
- PROPORTIONAL GADGET
- This lets you move anywhere in the text by dragging it with the mouse.
-
- 'P' - (PAUSE GADGET)
- This is a PAUSE button. It only works while new text is being
- displayed. Click it once to pause and again to continue.
-
- 'S' - (STOP GADGET)
- This allows you to abort any new text that is being displayed.
- You will be asked to verify this before stopping. There is no way
- to continue the displaying text after you stop it.
-
- ESC - (ESCape key)
- Does the same thing as the STOP gadget.
-
- 'PRT' - (PRINT GADGET)
- This will dump the text currently in the display buffer to your
- printer. The display buffer contains the text above and below the
- text that may be currently be visible.
-
- CURSOR UP & CURSOR DOWN
- They move the text up or down one line at a time, providing that there
- is more than a window full of text.
-
- SHIFTED CURSOR UP & SHIFTED CURSOR DOWN
- They move the text up or down one PAGE at a time, providing that there
- is more than a window full of text. Actually it's a page minus one
- line.
-
- CURSOR LEFT & CURSOR RIGHT
- They move the text left or right one character at a time. This allows
- you to see the entire 80 columns of text. Any other (up, down, etc.)
- action with the text will remain offset until you re-align, close the
- display window or display different text. This does not affect
- any printouts, only what you see in the window. You may offset the
- text up to 5 characters to see the 80th column.
-
- SHIFTED CURSOR LEFT & SHIFTED CURSOR RIGHT
- They move the text left or right 5 characters at a time, otherwise
- it's the same as unshifted.
-
- '?' Key - STRING SEARCH
- The Display Window may now be searched. While it is active press
- the question mark (shifted slash) and enter the search string.
- Pressing return on the search string will always start the search
- with the first line in the display. Clicking the NEXT gadget will
- continue the search from the current line.
- The 'A EQUALS a' gadget will cause a NON case sensitive search.
- Clicking it to 'A NOT EQUAL a' will cause a case sensitive search.
- Whenever you enter a new search string the search will start at the
- first line and go to the first match or end, whichever is found
- first. When a match is found the text will be highlit on the 5th
- line from the top (lower if you are at the end). This will allow
- you to see the lines above the match. If the match is beyond the 75th
- position the text will scroll to the left to show it. If a match is
- found clicking NEXT gadget will continue the search beginning at the
- next line. When no matches are found the screen will flash.
- The search will work on any text in the Display Window.
