Welcome to Sloop!
    Thanks for checking out Sloop. I have found this program to be an indispensible tool in my own work on the Mac, and I hope that you will find it useful as well.
    Press the "Next" button above to find out what Sloop does.
    If this is your first time using Sloop, you may want to check out the "productivity strategies" section of the "questions and answers" help topic. It contains some useful tips on customizing Sloop.

How to use the online help facility
    To get help on a particular topic, choose that topic from the popup menu above.
    If you have questions about a particular thing (such as a menu item or something in a dialog box), press command-?. The cursor will turn into a question mark. As long as the cursor is a question mark, anything you select will open the help facility to information about the selected thing.
    You can also turn on balloon help from the standard help menu (or by pressing the "Help" key on an extended keyboard) to get less detailed information on dialog box elements and menu items.
