HTMLview is a program that lets you view HTML pages.
HTMLview is a faster way of viewing HTML and URL:s than WebExplorer. It does
many but not yet all of the things that WebExplorer does and works both on-
and off-line. If you are used to work with WebExplorer you will soon be used
to work with HTMLview.
NOTE: THIS IS AN EARLY BETA VERSION. IT MAY NOT FUNCTION AS SUPPOSED.
PLEASE DO NOT WHINE ABOUT BUGS, READ HELPME.TXT AND ACT !
To start HTMLview:
------------------
Start the program HTMLview.EXE or start the WPS program reference (outlined
below). You may put this program (its program reference, not the .EXE file)
in the startup folder if you wish.
You may enter a URL as parameter to the program. Please note that .HTML files
need no be prefixed with file:/// but URL:s must be prefixed with http://.
NOTE: HTMLview.EXE will put a .INI file in the directory where it is placed.
The file will be found even if start HTMLview from another directory.
(Name of the inifile is HTMLview.INI).
NOTE: Items added to the QuickList will be saved in a file called QUIKLIST.TXT
this one also in the .EXE directory. You may edit this file but yoy MUST
comply to the general structure or HTMLview will TRAP!
NOTE: If you are unhappy with the name of the .EXE or the .INI file you may
rename the .EXE to another name (ex. HTMLV.EXE). Upon starting this
"new" .EXE file a new .INI file will be created with the same name as
the .EXE file (HTMLV.EXE gives HTMLV.INI).
******************************************************************************
NOTE: USERS OF EARLIER VERSIONS OF HTMLview MUST REMOVE ANY OLD .INI FILES !

TIPS, Not found in menus:
--------------------------
- To save a URL object drag it to the desktop (or any folder) with
the right mouse button pressed.
If you wish to save the webpage as a HTML file instead drag
with the Ctrl pressed.
- To load a link while a page is loading just click on that link !
- Use the right mouse button to move the splitbar that separates
the webpage-window and the QuickList.
- Press the right mouse button on top of the QuickList window to
get a context menu.
- The button that switches between font sizes works even when you
are loading a webpage, so does also the graphics on/off button.
- Press Esc to stop loading a page.
- Drag/drop fonts/color from the Color/Font palette in your
System Setup folder and drop them on the QuickList window.
Select Options -> Save window setting to save them.
To change the text color drag a color with the Ctrl key pressed.
- If you prefer loading speed to functionality install Web Explorer
1.03 instead of an later version.
