Folder
Folder (menu option)

The Folder menu gives you seven menu choices on a drop-down menu.  They let you create new folders or modify, delete, or rearrange the existing folders.  You can get to a related menu by clicking the right mouse button on a folder title.

Click on the menu choices below to learn more about each one.


Menu bar

The Viewer menu bar contains seven menu options.  Click on the menu choices below to learn more about each one.

When you're in the mail topic, an additional menu choice called Mail is also available.


Viewing area

The area that takes up most of the right side of the Viewer is called the viewing area.  It's divided by a movable bar into an upper and lower portion.  You can adjust the relative size of the two portions of the viewing area by dragging the bar.

•	The lower portion displays the information you've asked to see, one page at a time.  You tell Rosebud what to display here by setting up folders.   You can change how the display looks (colors, fonts, and so on) at the appropriate Display Selection dialog boxes (Mail, News, Financial, and Weather).

•	The upper portion of the viewing area lists the titles of all the pages in the folder.  To see any page, click on its title in the upper portion of the viewing area.


Folders

In the Viewer, folders are represented by labels next to file folder icons at the left edge of the screen.  You create a folder for each collection of information you want to view.  When you then click on the folder, the information you asked for, formatted the way you asked for it, appears in the viewing area.

Some things to keep in mind as you set up folders

•  The information you can view depends on what information has been retrieved.  You specify what to retrieve in the separate component of Rosebud called the Assignment Desk.

•  Retrieved information is stored in databases, and like any database information, can be arranged in any number of ways for viewing.

•  There is not a one-to-one relationship between reporters (in the Assignment Desk) and folders (in the Viewer).

•  Until you create a folder to view information, you can't see that information, even if it's been successfully retrieved.

This is key to working with Rosebud. The existing folders that Rosebud came with are there only because we specifically created them before we shipped the product, as sample folders that would show you the information our sample reporters retrieved. This is a critical concept: You create folders to look at information your reporters retrieve. We specifically created folders to look at information our reporters retrieved; you must specifically create folders to look at information your reporters retrieve.

Examples of different folders you might create

• In the news topic:

Suppose in the Assignment Desk you've set up a reporter that's assigned to gather news articles about toxic waste, about health care, about movies, and to also retrieve the latest news (a general article unrelated to a particular subject). In the Viewer, you can set up a folder labeled Health Care that only displays the health care articles, another that displays the toxic waste articles, another for the latest news, and another for movie reviews.

To create a folder in the news topic, click the News tool and select Folder New from the menu bar to get the News Folder dialog box where you set up a news folder.

• In the financial topic:

You might have asked in the Assignment Desk for stock quotes for ten or twelve different stocks in a variety of industries.  Here in the Viewer you can set up a folder to view stocks in, say, just the computer industry, another folder to view consumer stocks, or any other combination.

To create a folder in the financial topic, click the Financial tool and select Folder New to get to the Folder Properties dialog box, where you begin setting up a financial folder.

• In the weather topic:

Suppose you've asked in the Assignment Desk for weather maps, satellite views, radar maps, and temperature data for several different cities.  You can set the Viewer up to display each city's information in a separate folder..

To create a folder in the weather topic, click the Weather tool and select Folder New to get to the Folder Properties dialog box, where you begin setting up a weather folder.

• In the mail topic:

Suppose you're working on several different projects, and you want to keep e-mail about each project in a separate folder.  You can set up mail folders for each project.

To create a folder in the mail topic, click the Mail tool and select Folder New to get to the Mail Folder dialog box, where you create a mail folder.


Topic tools

The first four tools on the toolbar select the four topics (Mail, News, Financial, and Weather).  You can also select a topic by clicking Topic on the menu and selecting from the drop-down menu.  The left-hand column of the Viewer screen changes to display the folders that have been set up in each topic.


What is Rosebud?

Rosebud is a Windows-based utility that automatically logs on to CompuServe at specified times and retrieves specified information, then lets you look at the retrieved information.

You can currently retrieve four categories ("topics") of information:

•	Mail

•	News

•	Financial

•	Weather

There are three principal components of Rosebud.

Rosebud Assignment Desk - the part of the program that lets you say when and what to retrieve.

Rosebud Collection Agent - the part of the program that does the retrieving, or collecting.  Typically, you never deal directly with the Collection Agent except to load it each morning.

Rosebud Viewer - the part of the program that lets you look at what's been retrieved, and create e-mail.

The retrieved information is stored in various databases on your computer; it's from these databases that the Viewer gets the information to display.  Third-party applications can also access this information.


File
File (menu option)

The File menu gives you eight menu choices on a drop-down menu.  Click on the menu choices below to learn more about each one.


NWPreview
Preview

This area reflects the colors and fonts you choose for your news articles and mail messages.


Topic
Topic (menu option)

The Topic menu gives you four menu choices on a drop-down menu.  Clicking on these menu choices does the same thing as clicking on one of the first four tools on the toolbar: it changes the row of folders to display mail folders, news folders, financial folders, or weather folders.  Click on the menu choices below to learn more about each one.


Importing a text file

As an alternative to typing the text of your mail message directly into the Rosebud Create Mail or Reply to Mail Message dialog box, you can create a mail message in any text editor (Windows Notepad, for example) or in any word processor that lets you save a file as text-only.  Then import the text-only file into Rosebud.  The file name of the message you create needs to have a .TXT extension so that the import function can recognize it.

How to import a text file into a mail message

1.	Create your message in the application of your choice and save it as text-only.

2.	Switch to the Rosebud Viewer.

3.	Click the Mail tool if the Mail topic is not already displayed, and go to the Create Mail or Reply to Mail Message dialog box.

4.	Click the Import File button on the left side of the mail dialog box.  The Import File dialog box below appears.  It's a standard Windows file location dialog box, with the "filter" (or file type specification) in the lower left set so that it only displays files with the .TXT extension.

5.	Use the Directories list in the center to browse through your directory tree and locate the directory where your .TXT file is stored.  Any files in that directory that have a .TXT extension will display in the list on the left.

If you want to see files other than .TXT files, change the setting (the filter) in the List Files of Type area in the lower left.

6.	In the file list, highlight the file that you want to import and click OK (or just double-click the file name).  The original mail dialog box reappears, with your imported message displayed.


Page
Page (menu option)

The Page menu gives you five menu choices on a drop-down menu.  These menu choices let you do things to the pages in the financial and weather topics.

Click on the menu choices below to learn more about each one.

NOTE:  If you're in the mail topic, these menu choices will be grayed out; that is, unavailable.  If you're in the news topic, the first three options will be unavailable.


Financial: Colors
Financial colors

The bottom half of the Financial Display Selection dialog box is made up of three tabs: Colors, Fonts, and Settings.  Note the labeled extensions of each tab at the bottom of the dialog box.  Click on the extension labeled Colors to bring the Colors tab to the top.

The Colors tab lets you change the colors of the display.  In the list box on the right, double-click on the name of the part of the viewing area you want to change (Background Color, Text Color, etc.) to bring up a Color dialog box.  (You can also bring up the Color dialog box by clicking on the viewing area name and then clicking on Change.)

NOTE:  The preview area in the lower left of the dialog box shows you what the display looks like.

In the Color dialog box, click on the color you want and click OK.  If you decide you have horrible color sense and want the original colors back, click on Use Defaults.  If, on the other hand, you set up a particularly fetching color combination and you want it to be the new default, click on the Set Defaults button; you'll get a Set Defaults dialog box asking you to confirm that you do in fact want the new color settings to become the new defaults for this item type.  (Detail, daily, weekly, and monthly stock charts, stock text, weather maps, and weather text are all different item types and thus have different color and font defaults.)

When you're done at the Financial Display Selection dialog box, click OK to save your display selections.  Click OK again at the Page Definition dialog box.

For more on the other parts of the Financial Display Selection dialog box:

•	Display As

•	Information Type

•	Tickers

Item
Item (menu option)

The Item menu on the menu bar gives you six menu choices on a drop-down menu.  Click on the choices below to learn more about each one.

You can get to related pop-up item menus by clicking with the right mouse button on an item itself in the viewing area. The choices on these pop-up item menus vary depending on which topic you're in.

Pop-up Item menu (in news)

Pop-up Item menu (in financial)

Pop-up Item menu (in weather)


Help

There are several ways to get to on-line help in Rosebud, all typical of any Windows application.

•	Help via the menu bar

The Help option on the Viewer menu bar gives you a drop-down menu of Help options, beginning with the Help Contents screen.  Other options (Search, for example) let you search for help on a specific Rosebud topic.

•	Help via the F1 key

Pressing F1 brings up a help screen dealing specifically with where you are in the program.  For example, if you're at the Folder Properties dialog box and press the F1 key, the help screen that appears is about the Folder Properties dialog box..  From there you can browse through other help topics, or use the Search button to find help on a specific topic.

•	Help via the Help button

Some Rosebud screens have their own Help button.  Clicking on it brings up a help screen dealing specifically with where you are in the program.

If you'd like additional guidance in using Windows on-line help, check out your Windows manual or one of the many third-party books available.  Or click on Help on the Windows Program Manager menu bar and select How to use Help.


File: New

The New command on the File menu lets you create a new .VWR file.  The .VWR file stores the information about how you've set folders up in the Viewer.

For example, if Scott and Megan use the same computer but don't track the same stocks or weather or retrieve the same news articles, they can create individual .VWR files.  When Scott loads the Viewer, he can open his own .VWR file that remembers how his folders are set up (what stocks he tracks, what news he reads, what colors his stock charts are, and so on).  When Megan loads the Viewer, she opens her .VWR file that remembers her folders.

To create a new .VWR file, set the folders up in the Viewer the way you want them, then click File Save As to save the various settings (the configuration) under a new name.


File: Open

The Open command on the File menu lets you open a .VWR file (the file that remembers how your version of the Viewer is set up).

You can create any number of .VWR files (normally, one for each user).  Each time you load Rosebud's Viewer, select File Open; you'll be taken to a File Open dialog box.  Highlight the .VWR file you want and click OK.  (Use the Drives and Directories list boxes if the file you need is located in a different subdirectory.)

Each time you open the Viewer, Rosebud will load the last .VWR file it used.


File: Save

The Save command on the File menu lets you save your .VWR file if you've made changes to your Viewer setup.  If you make changes to your Viewer setup, Rosebud will prompt you to save them when you exit.

If you need to save your .VWR file under another name, use Save As instead of Save.


File: Save As

The Save As command on the File menu lets you save a .VWR file under a new name.

If you just need to save your existing .VWR file under the same name, you can use the Save command rather than the Save As command.


File: Print

The Print command on the File menu lets you print the currently displayed page.  The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl-P.


File: Print Preview

The Print Preview command on the File menu lets you see what the currently displayed page will look like when it prints.


File: Print Setup

When you select Print Setup from the File menu, the standard Windows Print Setup dialog box appears; this is where you can select the printer, the page size and orientation, the paper source, and deal with a number of other printer issues common to any Windows application.


File: Exit

The Exit command on the File menu lets you leave Rosebud.  You can do the same thing by double-clicking on the control-menu box (the box with the dash in the upper left corner of the Rosebud window) or by pressing Alt-F4.


Viewer
The Rosebud Viewer

The Viewer screen has four major elements.

•	Folders - the vertical column of labeled file folder icons at the left edge of the screen

•	Viewing area - the large area that takes up the right side of the Viewer

•	Menu bar - the options across the top of the screen, just below the title bar

•	Toolbar - the horizontal row of buttons just below the menu bar


Topic: Weather

Weather is one of the topics Rosebud retrieves information on.  (The others are Mail, News, and Financial.)  Each topic is represented by a tool on the toolbar and a choice on the Topic menu.

When you click on the Weather tool on the toolbar (or select Weather on the Topic menu) the folders in the column at the left edge of the Viewer screen change to display the folders that have been set up under the weather topic.

Rosebud comes to you with some folders already set up, so that you can see how it's supposed to work; you can modify these default items, or create new ones.

Creating a new folder

Modifying an existing folder

Deleting an existing folder


Topic: Financial

Financial is one of the topics Rosebud retrieves information on.  (The others are News, Mail and Weather.)  Each topic is represented by a tool on the toolbar and a choice on the Topic menu..

When you click on the Financial tool on the toolbar (or select Financial on the Topic menu) the folders in the column at the left edge of the Viewer screen change to display the folders that have been set up under the financial topic.

Rosebud comes to you with some folders already set up, so that you can see how it's supposed to work; you can modify these default items, or create new ones.

FSet defaults
Set defaults

Click here if you've set up a new color scheme and want it to be the default. Note that detail, daily, weekly, and monthly stock graphs, stock text, weather maps, and weather text are all different item types and thus can have different color and font defaults.

See Financial: Colors to learn more.


Folder: Delete

The Delete command on the Folder menu lets you delete an folder altogether.  You'll be asked to confirm the deletion.


VWMenu
Menu bar

This is the Viewer menu bar.

See Menu bar for more.


Folder: Move Up/Down

The Move Up and Move Down commands on the Folder menu let you rearrange the order of your folders.


Page: New

The Page New command lets you create a new page for a folder.  You can do the same thing by pressing Alt-N.

The Page Definition dialog box will display so that you can begin setting up a new page.


News Folder

The News Folder dialog box lets you name a folder and then specify what news articles you want to see each time you click that folder; you also specify what order the articles should display in, and what sources the articles should come from.

You also come to the News Folder dialog box to modify the way information displays on an existing news folder.

The News Folder dialog box is divided into four general areas:

•	Title

•	Sort Order

•	What to display

•	Include


Folder Properties

In the financial or weather topic, when you select Folder New or Folder Edit from the menu bar, a small dialog box titled Folder Properties appears. This is the first step in creating a new financial or weather folder.

It's also where you come if you want to change the wording of an existing financial or weather folder label.  You can also get to the Folder Properties dialog box by clicking the right mouse button on a financial or weather folder and selecting New or Edit from the pop-up menu.

Type in the text you want to appear as the folder label; for example:

Hi-tech stocks

Sector stocks

Telecommunications stocks

Jim's stocks

Atlanta weather

Tucson weather

National weather summaries

Move on to Page Definition to set up the way you want the page of information to display.


Page Definition

The Page Definition dialog box appears:

•	When you click OK after you name a new financial or weather folder using the Folder Properties dialog box.

•	When you select Page New or Page Edit from the menu bar.

•	When you click Alt-N or Alt E.

•	When you click on a newly-named folder that you haven't yet defined any pages for.

Use the Page Definition dialog box to define how your newly created page will be divided up, and what it will contain:

•	Page Definition: Layout

•	Page Definition: Content

Move your mouse pointer over the dialog box below.  When the arrow changes to a pointing hand, click to learn more.


News Folder: Title

In the text box labeled Title, type in the text you want to use as a label for the folder.

Examples:

Latest news

Movie reviews

Stuff about the X Files


News Folder: Sort Order: Headline

When you ask the Viewer to sort your retrieved articles by headline, the articles will display in the alphabetical order of the headline text, like this:

"Americans investing more abroad"

"Astronauts return safely"

"Meryl Streep's new movie a real stretch"

"Mexican army reorganization in jeopardy"

"Republicans win again in Nebraska"

"Yen falls slightly after disputed election"

For information on the other sort order criteria:

•	Search Rating

•	Source

•	Date


News Folder: What to display

When you initially tell the Assignment Desk what articles you want a reporter to retrieve, you tell it how many headlines to scan during its on-line search, and you set a limit to how many complete articles you want it to retrieve.  On certain reporters, you might limit what the reporter looks for by telling it to look for certain text in article headlines.

When the Collection Agent retrieves the articles, it goes by the article limit you set, and only retrieves the number of articles you told it to.  But it retrieves all the headlines it found, even if it didn't get the articles themselves.

Other headlines will be stored if you check the "Store headlines" check box; in that situation, Rosebud will save headlines (up to the scan limit) for non-matching articles.

If you click on the Retrieved Articles radio button in the What to display section of the News Folder dialog box, you're telling the Viewer to show you just the articles that have been retrieved.

If, on the other hand, you click on Unretrieved Articles, you're asking to see just the headlines of unretrieved articles.  Then if you see a headline in the displayed list that sounds interesting, you can tell Rosebud to retrieve it, either right away, or during the next regularly scheduled logon.

If you check the Unread Articles Only check box, you're telling the Viewer to display only articles you haven't read yet.


Folder: New

The New command on the Folder menu lets you create a new folder.  You will create a new folder any time you want to view different combinations of retrieved information.

When you select Folder New:

•	If you're in the mail topic, you'll be taken to the Mail Folder dialog box.

•	If you're in the news topic, you'll be taken to the News Folder dialog box.

•	If you're in financial or weather, you'll be taken to the Folder Properties dialog box.


NWhat to display
What to display

You can ask Rosebud to show you the articles that you've asked it to retrieve, or the headlines for articles that it didn't retrieve. (Why didn't it retrieve them? Two reasons: Because you set a limit on the number of articles to retrieve, and there were more matching articles than the limit you set. Or because you have the "Store headlines for articles that don't match" box checked.)

See News Folder dialog box: What to display to learn more about what the Viewer will display.


News Folder: Sort Order: Date

When you ask the Viewer to sort articles by date, it displays them in chronological order.  You must indicate whether you want oldest articles first or newest articles first, by clicking the appropriate radio button.

For information on the other sort order criteria:

•	Search Rating

•	Source

•	Headline


Delete mail

How to delete a message

1.	Highlight the message in the list in the Viewer.

2.	Click Mail on the menu bar.

3.	Click Delete.  The message will be moved to the Wastebasket folder, where it will eventually be deleted in accordance with your settings on the Settings tab of the Mail Settings dialog box in the Assignment Desk.

Note:  To REALLY delete a message, highlight it in the Wastebasket folder and select Delete.  It will be immediately deleted from your hard drive.


News Folder: Sort Order: Source

The news articles you've asked for in the Assignment Desk are retrieved from CompuServe, but CompuServe itself gets them from a variety of sources (Reuters, UPI, etc.).  Each article is identified as to source, and you can therefore ask the Viewer to sort them by source.  Sorting by source means all the UPI articles will be grouped together, all the articles from AP will be grouped together, etc.

For information on the other sort order criteria:

•	Search Rating

•	Headline

•	Date


News Folder: Sort Order

You can tell the Viewer to show you your news articles in a particular order, based on four criteria:

•	Search Rating

•	Source

•	Headline

•	Date

The sort can be three levels deep.  For example, you might sort your news articles first by date (either oldest or newest first); thus all the articles dated March 12, 1995, would be grouped together.  A secondary sort within those March 12th articles might be based on which news source they came from; thus all the UPI articles for March 12th would be grouped together.  The third-level sort could then sort all the March 12th UPI articles alphabetically based on the text of their headlines.


News Folder: Sort Order: Search Rating

When Rosebud looks for the articles you've asked for in the Assignment Desk, the search will find some articles that are closer to what you asked for than others.

Each article is rated by how well it meets your search criteria; thus when you ask the Viewer to display your articles based on search rating, you're asking to see the most relevant articles first.

For information on the other sort order criteria:

•	Source

•	Headline

•	Date


Quotes in graph form

Your financial information can display in text form or as a graph.  It may be difficult to understand the graph for the first few days, until you get enough days of data to get the picture.  Each day's data is a colored vertical bar representing the price range for the stock for that one day; a black line across the bar marks the day's closing figure.

The graph is in two parts.  The top part is price; the bottom part is volume.

To change the fonts or colors, double-click on the displayed item to go the Financial Display Selection dialog box.  Select Font or Colors at the bottom.


News Folder: Include Selected Folders
News Folder: Include Selected Reporters

When the Selected Reporters radio button is selected, the button to the right says Select reporters; click that button to see the Select Reporters dialog box.  In the left-hand window you see a list of all the reporters you've created in the Assignment Desk to retrieve articles about different subjects. Highlight a reporter name and click the Add button (or double-click the name) and the reporter name is added to the right-hand list of reporters.

When you're through selecting reporters, click OK to return to the News Folder dialog box.

For information on the other Include choices:

•	All Articles

•	Selected Sources

•	Search Existing Articles


News Folder: Include

When you set up a News item folder, you can specify which articles, of all the articles that have been retrieved, you want to see.  Four radio buttons let you make your selection; you can only select one.

•	All Articles

•	Selected Reporters

•	Selected Sources

•	Search Existing Articles


Assignment Desk

The Assignment Desk is one of three principal components of Rosebud.  It's the part that lets you specify what information you want to retrieve and when you want to retrieve it.

The other two parts of Rosebud are the Collection Agent (which actually retrieves the information from CompuServe) and the Viewer (a display that lets you look at the information that's been collected, and create mail).


Page Definition: Layout

You can divide the viewing area (the "page") into smaller sections if you like, in order to display several pieces of stock or weather information on the same page.

Using the scroll bars at the bottom and right edge of the Layout box, tell the Viewer how many rows and columns (up to a maximum of five rows and/or five columns) to set up on this page.

Note that each section (or cell) you create in the Layout box has a number, and a long narrow button with a corresponding number appears in the Content section of the Page Definition dialog box.  Each one of these numbered cells is an item.  A page can have one item on it, or it can have up to 25.

Click here to see how to specify what appears in that numbered section of the page.


News Folder: Include Selected Sources

When the Selected Sources radio button is selected, the button to the right says Select sources; click that button to see the Select News Sources dialog box.  In the left-hand window you see a list of all the news sources available on CompuServe.  Highlight a name and click the Add button (or double-click the name) and the source name is added to the News Sources to Search list.

When you're through selecting sources, click OK to return to the News Folder dialog box.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that here in the Viewer you are only able to see what has actually been retrieved.  For example, if you click on Football here in the Viewer but have not actually retrieved any articles from the Football news source, you won't see anything from the Football news source.

Use the Assignment Desk to specify what sources to retrieve from; use the Viewer to specify from which of the retrieved sources you want to see articles.

For information on the other Include choices:

•	All Articles

•	Selected Reporters

•	Search Existing Articles


News Folder: Include Search Existing Stories
News Folder: Include Search Existing Articles

When the Search Existing Articles radio button is selected, you can type text in the text box below the button.  The Viewer will then search through all the headlines of retrieved articles for the specified text.  For example, if you're interested in looking only at articles you've retrieved about earthquakes, type the word earthquake in the search text box.

If there's an X in the Search Article Text check box, the Viewer will also search the first 500 characters of the articles themselves (not just the headlines).  Clearly this will take a bit longer than searching just the headlines.  To uncheck the Search Article Text check box, click in it once.

For information on the other Include choices:

•	All Articles

•	Selected Reporters

•	Selected Sources


GLFolder title
Folder title

The text you type in the Title text box (on the Folder Properties dialog box for the weather and financial topics; on the News Folder dialog box for a news topic) is what displays as the folder label.


Reply to Mail Message
Replying to a mail message

The Reply to Mail Message dialog box (below) lets you reply to an existing message.  It looks much like the Create Mail dialog box except that it includes the text of the original message, and certain information taken from the message you're replying to is already filled in.

How to reply to a message

1.	In the Viewer, click on the In Box (or whatever folder the existing message is in) to see a list of messages at the top of the viewing area.

2.	In the list of messages, highlight the message you want to reply to.

3.	On the menu bar, click on Mail, then Reply (or click the Reply tool on the toolbar).  The Reply to Mail Message dialog box appears, with the From, To, and Subject lines already filled in and the original message displayed in the upper part of the text entry area.

4.	Add CC or BCC recipients, and change the Subject line if you like.

5.	Click in the lower text entry area and type your reply.  You can also import the reply text; click on the Import File button and select the .TXT file to import.

6.	To send the reply immediately, click the Send Now radio button.

To send the reply on Rosebud's next scheduled run, click the Send Later radio button.

7.	Click OK.

Move your mouse over the graphic below; when the pointer changes to a pointed hand, click to learn more.


News Folder: Include All Articles

When the All Articles radio button is selected, all retrieved articles display (in the order you've specified in the Sort order section of this dialog box).

For information on the other Include choices:

•	Selected Reporters

•	Selected Sources

•	Search Existing Articles


FFonts
Fonts tab

Click here to bring the Fonts tab to the front, then use the Change button to change the fonts on the graphs or text that the Viewer displays.

See Financial: Fonts to learn more about changing fonts.


Page Definition: Content

When you click once in one of the numbered cells in the Layout box, the cell becomes shaded and the corresponding button in the Content section becomes active (indicated by the dotted border around the words * Undefined *).

Click once in the text box labeled Title and type in the name of this page.  This is the wording that will display at the top of the viewing area when this folder is selected.  For example, if the folder's title is Consumer Stocks, you might want to create a page for that folder titled General Electric and another page titled Pepsico.

Each page can be divided into items.  For example, you might divide the GE page into two items: daily GE quotes in text form at the top, and daily GE quotes in graph form in the lower half.

Click on the appropriately numbered * Undefined * button (or simply double-click the shaded cell in the Layout box) to see the Financial Display Selection or Weather Display Selection dialog box, where you can tell the Viewer how you want the item (the stock/weather information) displayed in the shaded part of the page.

NOTE:  The wording that appears on the long buttons in the Content area is automatically inserted; it's a function of how the item is referred to internally).

Once an item has been set up (as either a full page all by itself, or as part of a page), you can bring up the display selection dialog box by simply double-clicking on the item in the viewing area.


Financial Display Selection

This is where you tell the Viewer how to display the stock information that's been retrieved.  The top half of this dialog box lets you tell the Viewer what to display; the bottom half lets you tell the Viewer how to display it.  When you finish making you display selections on this dialog box, click OK to save the information, then click OK again back at the Page Definition dialog box.

This is where you tell the Viewer how to display the weather information that's been retrieved.  The top half of this dialog box lets you tell the Viewer what to display; the bottom half lets you tell the Viewer how to display it.

Top half (what to display):

•	Location

•	Weather Types

Collection Agent

The Collection Agent is one of three principal components of Rosebud; it's the part that actually does the collecting of the information you want.  It logs on to CompuServe and retrieves information many times faster than you can do it manually.  The information it retrieves goes into various databases maintained by Rosebud on your computer.  These databases can be accessed by third-party applications.

The other two parts of Rosebud are the Assignment Desk (where you tell Rosebud what information you want, and when) and the Viewer (a display that lets you look at the information that's been collected, and create mail messages).


Weather: Weather Types

The Weather Types list box shows you what maps or text information have been retrieved for the location you specified. Highlight the one you want to display on the item you're setting up.

NOTE:  The preview area in the lower left of the dialog box shows you what the display looks like.

The Fonts tab lets you change the fonts (typefaces) used in the display.  In the list box on the right, double-click on the name of the part of the viewing area you want to change (Title Font, Text Font, etc.) to bring up a Font dialog box.  (You can also get to the Font dialog box by clicking on the viewing area name and then clicking on Change.)

NOTE:  The preview area in the lower left of the dialog box shows you what the display looks like.

In the Font dialog box, select a new font, font style, and font size from those shown as available on your system.  Click OK.  If you decide you want the original fonts back, click on Use Defaults.  If, on the other hand, you set up a font combination you like and you want it to be the new default, click on the Set Defaults button; you'll get a Set Defaults dialog box asking you to confirm that you do in fact want the new font settings to become the new defaults for this item type.  (Detail, daily, weekly, and monthly stock graphs, stock text, weather maps, and weather text are all different item types and thus have different color and font defaults.)

In the list box on the right, double-click on the name of the viewing area you want to change (Background Color, Text Color, etc.) to bring up a Color dialog box.  (You can also bring up the Color dialog box by clicking on the viewing area name and then clicking on Change.)

NOTE:  The preview area in the lower left of the dialog box shows you what the display  looks like.

In the Color dialog box, click on the color you want and click OK.  If you decide you have horrible color sense and want the original colors back, click on Use Defaults.  If, on the other hand, you set up a particularly fetching color combination and you want it to be the new default, click on the Set Defaults button; you'll get a Set Defaults dialog box asking you to confirm that you do in fact want the new color settings to become the new defaults for this item type.  (Detail, daily, weekly, and monthly stock graphs, stock text, weather maps, and weather text are all different item types and thus have different color and font defaults.)

Depending upon which topic you're in, you'll be taken to the Financial Display Selection dialog box or the Weather Display Selection dialog box, where you can make changes to the content and layout of this item.  If you're in a news topic, you get the News Display Selection dialog box, where you can make changes to the colors and fonts.  If you're in mail, you get the Mail Display Setup dialog box, where you can make changes to the colors and fonts.

You can also get to these same display selection dialog boxes by working your way through Folder Edit and the Folder Properties and Page Definition dialog boxes.

Topic: News

News is one of the topics Rosebud retrieves information on.  (The others are Mail, Financial and Weather.)  Each topic is represented by a tool on the toolbar and a choice on the Topic menu.

When you click on the News tool on the toolbar (or select News on the Topic menu) the folders in the column at the left edge of the Viewer screen change to display the folders that have been set up under the news topic.

Rosebud comes to you with some folders already set up, so that you can see how it's supposed to work; you can modify these default items, or create new ones.

Creating a new folder

Modifying an existing folder

Deleting an existing folder


Mail: In Box

When Rosebud retrieves your e-mail from CompuServe, it puts the message in the In Box folder in the Viewer, and displays a notification message on your screen.  (For more on the message window, see Message alert.)

When you click on the In Box, the top part of the viewing area lists the subject, date, and sender of the messages in your In Box.  If a message included an attachment, the envelope icon at the left edge has a diskette icon attached to it.

To see the text of a message

•	Click once on a message to display it in the lower part of the Viewer.

•	Click twice to bring the full message up in the Edit/View Mail dialog box.  The Eidt/View Mail dialog box also lets you see the CC and BCC recipients of the message (information not visible at the Viewer screen).

To sort the list of messages using the toolbar

•	Click the Sub tool to sort the list alphabetically by subject line.

•	Click the "counterclockwise" clock to sort by date (newest first).

•	Click the "clockwise" clock to sort by date (oldest first).

•	Click the Frm tool to sort the list alphabetically by sender.

To reply to a message


Mail Folder

The Mail Folder dialog box lets you create (or edit) a mail folder.

1.	Enter the folder name; this name is what will appear next to the file folder icon, and in any list of your folders.

2.	Enter the name of the directory where you want this folder stored on your hard drive.

3.	Click OK to return to the Viewer.


Mail: Sent Mail

Click on Sent Mail to see a list of messages you've sent.

You can move a sent message to the Wastebasket folder.  Highlight the message in the Sent Mail list, select Mail from the menu bar, select Move, then select Wastebasket. The message will stay in the Wastebasket until Rosebud empties it.

If you don't move a message to the Wastebasket yourself, Rosebud deletes it automatically after a certain number of days.  You specify the number of days in the Assignment Desk.  Highlight the Mail topic and click Change.  At the Settings tab on the Mail Settings dialog box, set the number of days in the Remove Sent Folder Items line.  The default is 5 days.


Topic: Mail

Mail is one of the topics Rosebud retrieves.  (The others are News, Financial and Weather.)  The mail topic differs a bit from the other three topics, since you can create mail as well as receive it; by contrast, you can only receive news, weather, or financial information.  Thus the mail topic in the Viewer has additional features that deal with the creation and management of mail messages.

Creating a new mail message

Replying to a mail message

Like the other three topics, the mail topic is represented by a tool on the toolbar and a choice on the Topic menu.  When you click on the Mail tool (or select Mail on the Topic menu) the folders in the column at the left edge of the Viewer screen change to display the folders for the mail topic.

Rosebud comes to you with some basic mail folders already set up.

•	In Box

•	Out Box

•	Sent Mail

•	Mail Drafts

•	Wastebasket

Mail Display Setup


Mail: Mail Drafts

How to create delayed outgoing mail

When you want to prepare a message but not send it right away, click the Mail Drafts folder, then click Mail on the menu bar and select Create.  You're taken to the Create Mail dialog box.

Clicking on Mail Drafts also displays a list of mail messages you've written but not sent.  When you're ready to send a message, highlight it and click on Mail on the menu bar, and select Send Now or Send Later, then click OK.

Send Now - Rosebud will log on to CompuServe immediately and send the message.

Send Later - Rosebud will send the message at the next regularly scheduled logon.  (Another way to send the message at the next regularly scheduled run is to highlight the message in the Mail Drafts list, select Mail on the menu bar, click Move and then select Out Box.)

In either case, after the message is sent, it appears in the Sent Mail folder list, where it will be deleted in accordance with your settings on the Settings tab of the Mail Settings dialog box in the Assignment Desk.

The Mail Drafts folder is useful for holding "templates" or other reusable text that you might send frequently.  Create the text, store it in the Mail Drafts folder, then call it up and address or edit it as needed.


Mail: Wastebasket

When you click on the Wastebasket folder, you see a list of messages that you've put in the Wastebasket for deletion.

The messages won't actually be deleted until later.  How much later depends on what you've set on the Settings tab in Mail Settings in the Assignment Desk, under Remove wastebasket items older than x days.

How to move a message to the Wastebasket

1.	Highlight the message on the list at the top of the viewing area in any mail folder.

2.	Click Mail on the menu bar.

3.	Select Move.

4.	Click on Wastebasket.

5.	Click OK.

How to delete a mail message manually

1.	Highlight the message on the list at the top of the viewing area in the Wastebasket folder.

2.	Click Mail on the menu bar.

3.	Select Delete and confirm the deletion.  Mail removed in this manner is actually gone from your hard drive.


Item: Previous
Item: Previous/Next

If you're working with items that can have "historical" information (weather for prior days, for example), selecting Previous from the Item menu moves you to earlier information.

Selecting Next moves you to later information.

You can do the same thing by clicking on the arrows at the end of the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.  The display moves through previous maps (do it fast and you can pretend it's the six o'clock weather).


Toolbar

The Viewer toolbar contains eight tools that are common to all four topics (Mail, News, Financial, and Weather).  When you move your mouse pointer over a tool and hold it there briefly, fly-over help identifies the tool.
