ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. ViewAll ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Welcome to the ViewAll Help Facility.
ViewAll displays all VIEW compatible INF books located along the BOOKSHELF and
all the BOOKMGR compatible BOO books located along the BOOKMGR path.
ViewAll allows you to read any of the displayed book titles by simply double
clicking on the desired book. ViewAll will do all the work for you by first
deciding what format the book is in and then by reading the book by starting
either VIEW.EXE or BOOKMGR.EXE accordingly.
Help is available on aspects of ViewAll. Every window presented to you by the
ViewAll program contains either a Help menu pull-down or a Help button. Select
Help whenever you are unclear about a particular aspect of ViewAll or if you
would like additional information.
Each window of the ViewAll program has different help information associated
with it. If you are unclear what a particular control does, highlight it then
press the F1 function key to receive information about that particular control.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Search ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Search window allows you to enter a string to search as well as setup
options to use when searching. Since it is possible that ViewAll may include
titles for many books, it is often helpful to search for a particular title

starting at the top of the list.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Location... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When the Location... menu item is selected the fully-qualified file name

the book to diskette or to a local subdirectory.
