This set of books consists of a multiple-book application,
"Learning ToolBook," which teaches the basics of ToolBook's
user interface, and two books that introduce the OpenScript
programming language and provide online exercises
in OpenScript. The books can be used for classroom
instruction or for self-paced individual study.
These books were developed entirely by members of Asymetrix
Technical Publications and Interactive Education, with
occasional consultation with Sample Applications.

HOW TO USE "LEARNING TOOLBOOK"
Copy all the files into a directory and make it the current
directory before starting the application. You need to do this
because the navigation scripts in the application don't include
full pathnames, so ToolBook looks for each book in the current
directory.
To use Learning ToolBook, open WORKBOOK.TBK and go to the second
page. Each module name is a hotword you can click to start
that module. The application opens the relevant instruction
and exercises books for each module and puts them away when
you return to WORKBOOK.TBK.
For convenience, you may want to start Learning ToolBook
as follows. Make sure your Windows and ToolBook directories
are on your DOS path. For example:
C>path c:\windows;c:\toolbook;c:\dos
In DOS, make the directory containing the application files
into the current directory. For example:
C>cd \learntbk
Then start Windows and run WORKBOOK.TBK. For example:
