THE WINDOWS OF RESCUE!

Rescue! utilizes five windows. To bring a window to the front, click on it or use the Window menu.  Use Default Positions repositions the windows to the default settings and sizes.

• MAIN VIEWER (cmd-1):  This is the window in which all of the action occurs.  You can shrink it or expand it to whatever size is comfortable for you, although there is a maximum size.  Note: you can use the 'z' key as a hot key to zoom the main viewer in and out.

• COMMAND CONSOLE (cmd-2): Provides mouse access to commands which aren't accessible from the menus.  See "The Controls: An Overview" and "The Command Console" in this help guide.

• STATUS REPORT (cmd-3): Shows vital information about the Enterprise systems and your mission.  The Total Energy bar at the top is your lifeline.  When that reads zero, the Enterprise is destroyed.

• LONG RANGE SCAN (cmd-4): Shows you the "big picture" of the galaxy and where you are in relation to Outposts, Starbases, enemies and other things.  See "The Long Range Scan" in this help guide.

• TEXT (cmd-5): This gives you a running text commentary of events as they happen.  It can be sized to your liking.
