- SCRIBE QUICK-START GUIDE
- ========================
-
- This short introduction is to enable you to get started with SCRIBE without
- having to read the full instruction manual. However, to get the full
- benefit of the program you are recommended to read it as soon as you can.
-
- WHAT IS SCRIBE?
- ---------------
-
- SCRIBE is a fast, versatile and easy-to-use text editor program. Up to ten
- documents can be held in memory at the same time, and there are ten
- independent clipboards. Marked blocks of text can be freely copied and
- moved between documents. Full search and replace facilities are provided.
- Documents can be printed, with headers and footers.
-
- GETTING STARTED
- ---------------
-
- SCRIBE can be run from any disk drive, and within any folder. The following
- files should all be together, either in the same folder, or in the root
- directory of the disk (i.e. not in any folder):-
-
- SCRIBE.PRG - The SCRIBE program
- SCRIBE.RSC - The resource file
- SCRIBE.HLP - The on-line help file
- SCRIBE.DEF - The file of default settings for SCRIBE
-
- To run SCRIBE, double-click on the SCRIBE.PRG icon. When the program has
- initialised, you can type text into it just like a word processor. The text
- will word-wrap at the end of lines, and will automatically re-format itself
- during all editing operations.
-
- All of the major functions are available from the drop-down menus, and
- these are also all duplicated by keyboard alternatives. The keyboard
- commands are shown in the drop-down menus; the symbol '^' indicates
- <Control>, and '@' indicates <Alternate>.
-
- If you press the Help key, a short version of the instruction manual will
- be displayed on-screen. Follow the instructions to view this document.
