This help system can be called up at any time (except during presentation of stimuli in experiments).
To find out about a topic you can either:
1. Scroll through the list of main headings in the list at left. Click on a topic to see more about it (as displayed in this field).
2. Use the Find menu command to look up a specific key word. This menu item is found under the Edit menu (or use Command-F).
To print this help out:
1. Select Print... (or Command-P) from the window's File menu, or
2. Select Print All... from the window's File menu.
To customize this Help:
1. Click on the Notes heading at left.
2. To enter text, make sure the padlock icon at top right of this window is unlocked (click on it to unlock/lock it). When you have made some additions, note that you must choose Save from the window's File menu (top left of the window) before moving on to another help item or your changes will all be lost! You can also use the other menu items under this window's Edit and Text menus. (You can also edit these information fields too...)
This window can be left in the background whilst you use the script editor. This is so you can read it and experiment with the results at the same time. You can also re-size this window by clicking on the bottom right re-size box (which is present though it may not be explicitly visible).
If you are itching to try some experiments (and hate reading manuals) then you could try the Quick Start section for a rapid overview of MacStim's workings.
