This is PDT's quick reference guide. You may view this from
inside PDT: press F1, then highlight "Browse PDT.Ref" and
press <enter>.
Since this is a simple ASCII file, you can edit it with any
word processor or editor. Add YOUR OWN tips and reminders.
Then view them while running PDT.

Install PDT correctly BEFORE you run it.
────────────────────────────────────────
PDT must be installed correctly or some of it's most valuable
options may not work correctly. See Start.Doc for important
tips; then run Install.Exe.
Running PDT
───────────
Run PDT by typing: PDT <cr> -or- PDT filename <cr>
Press ctrl-X to exit PDT.
If you run PDT the first way (pdt <cr>), when it begins,
it displays it's main menu screen which looks like this.

If you run PDT the 2nd way (pdt filename <cr>) it displays the
file you described in "filename." If PDT can't find "filename"
an error message appears. PDT then displays the screen above.
To pull down a menu:
────────────────────
Click the left mouse button on a "menu topic," or press alt-KEY.
"KEY" means press the first letter of an option. For example:
To pull down the: Press: Or click Left on:
──────────────── ───── ─────────────────
File menu alt-F File
Edit menu alt-E Edit
Help menu alt-H (or F1) Help
To select an option in a menu you pulled down, either:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
* Click Left on an option.
* Or press the Up/Down cursor keys to move the highlight
bar to an option. Then press <cr> to accept it.
* Or press the highlighted letter in the option you want.
Normally, the first letter of each option is highlighted.
But sometimes, two or more options begin with the same
first letter. For example, the File menu lets you Close
a file, Create a file and Create a directory. In these
cases, we'll highlight a different letter for each option.
To pull down a different menu:
──────────────────────────────
* Click Left on another menu topic.
* Or press the Right or Left cursor keys.
To exit a menu without making a choice:
───────────────────────────────────────
* Move the mouse cursor outside the menu, then click any
mouse button.
* Press <Esc>.
To get help with (or an explanation of) an option:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
* Click the Right mouse button on an option.
* Or press Up/Down to highlight it, then press F1.
Hotkeys
═══════
PDT's frequently-used options have convenient, fast "hot keys."
Some infrequently-used options have no hot key. Select these
options, from a menu. NOTE: Pull down any menu. Beside each
option you'll see the hot key for that option (if there is one).
Here's a summary of PDT's hot keys. Notice that most of them
are easy-to-remember mnemonics (O = Open, C = Close, E = Edit,
etc.). And most are ctrl-[key] hot keys: Hold down CTRL, then
press the key shown.
