Help! V1.0
----------
Help! is a small program that will display what Function Keys will
do in another program. It will open up its own window on the bottom of
your screen with ten boxes each displaying some text describing the
function of each Function Key.
If you press any of the 'qualifier' keys, the text in the boxes will
change to reflect what the FKey would do when pressed with that qualifier.
E.G. Shift-F1, Alt-F3, Ctrl-F2, Amiga-F5, etc.
To use the program, just run it from CLI or double-click its icon
from WorkBench.
To quit the program, hold down the 'Help' key for about 2 seconds.
Note:
The current settings in the program are those for the WordPerfect 4.1
(tm) word processor. Support for many programs is forthcoming. If you want
a version for any specific program, just email me and I'll make a special
version for your needs.
The program checks the keyboard every 1/20th of a second. This should
not slow down the computer because the main loop of the program is highly
optimized assembly. (E.G. If no key is pressed, only 10 machine code
instructions are executed, if a normal key is pressed, 26 machine code
instructions are executed.) Tell me what you feel, is the response too
slow, fast enough, etc.?
You can do distribute the program as much as you like as long as you
keep this doc file with it and do not remove my name from it.
Comments, suggestions, and complaints are highly welcome.
