- {⇨DClick} on the !KangaKoe icon inside
- your filer. That's the one which looks like
- a little cage with a certain animal in it.
-
- Next, do not hold your breath -you wont
- make it- watch the screen and see how your
- cute deskbar gets inhabited.
-
- We hope you like it....
-
- P.S. Do not worry, this programme is 100%
- riscware, it will not demolish anything
- serious (apart from some minor items like
- your desk-bar, backdrop and harddisk).
-
- It is also quite neat on processing
- time due to legal programming and a

- {!index The Reasons Why..}
- The GRAND reason why...
-
- Well those {⇨MSDom} machines, the decent
- ones running windows anyway, do have
- nice backgrounds. A bit boring though,
- those 'marble' platings. !Aquarium made
- a refreshing change, but not quite.
- Then a certain duck started swimming in
- a nice natural environment.
-
- As usual, within a few years, the local
- councils decided that the swampy rural
- area was just the place to plan their
- filthy train-track. Although there
- appeared to have been some protest -only
- of long haired, soap sniffing hippies,
- which bring their little children as a
- pathetic excuse to the protest outings-
- of course, but nothing serious. Now,
- with the train running its regular runs,
- that neighbourhood, its social welfare
- and the general atmosphere went down of
- course.
-
- And it was not for long that the first
- real criminals appeared. As is custom in
- the civilized world, at first they let
- them do their job. Next after an
- politically disastrous media outlet, the
- high and mighty were forced to do
- something about it. And again, as is
- custom in our civilized world they
- simply cured the symthoms, with the
- usual far to harsh and besides the point
- sort of measurements.
-
- Some baddies were caught, more people
- got killed and live went on, just as
- social, as criminal, as it already was.
- Newly created baddies still kept
- spoiling the fun.
-
- Meanwhile the council had build some
- houses on top of the swampy area...
- (there is more to that than it seems,
- but thats for another story which is far
- to smelly to elaborate on...) The people
- living there spend most of their time
- unhappy. Some went out robbing trains,
- others went out beating up train-robbers
- professionally but most of them found a
- save outlet in reading nice books (a
- few), watching soap opera (a few more),
- or dreaming of finding a way out of this
- grotty world (most).
-
- And on a certain day, their collective
- imaginations joined and the combined
- meta-concert created something truly
- unexpected. Their visionary inputs
- received the images you are about to
- unleash.
-
- They picture an imaginary happy world,
- with simple things, simple problems and
- even simpler solutions...
-
- KangaKoe was born...

-
- Really. I've to refer you to the welcome
- guide for all this, and I do not understand
- how you've got here in the first place..
-
- However, just to be on the safe side..
-
- The mouse has three buttons, called, from
- left to right, SELECT, MENU, and ADJUST.
-
- Pressing a button is called Clicking, pressing
- it twice, very quickly, whilst not moving the
- mouse, a major feat!, is called double clicking.

- {<- Interactive Help supported -}{!index - About interactive help}
-
- * Interactive Help
-
- On your app-1 disc, or if you have upgraded
- to RiscOs3 in de resources directory, there is
- an application called !Help. Do run it {⇨DClick}
- over it. From then on a window will give
- information about the area the pointer is
- hovering above. Both KangaKoe and this file-
- display-system will give helpful information.
-
-
- {<application}{!index - About applications}
- * Applications.....
-
- An application is a programme.
-
- It appears in the 'filer' window as a little
- picture, a landing shuttle this time, with
- a name, preceded by a pling underneath.
-
- You can run an application by {⇨DoubleClick}-
- ing with {⇨select} on it.
-
- You can ask help by pressing {⇨Menu} over it,
- and moving to the second leaf menu, from the
- top, with the 'Help' item appearing at the
- bottom of the list.
-
- The application lives in a directory along
- with its friends, special files with well-
- defined names. You can open the directory
- by {⇨DoubleClick}ing with {⇨select} on it
- whilst holding the SHIFT key.

- * About Wimp_PollIdle
-
- This is a technical term, see page 1148 of
- the advanced reference manual.
-
- All it means is that the application asks
- as little processor time as possible during
- its live.

- {<applepies}{!index - Applepie recepie}
- * Applepies...
-
- Do not you love them !!
-
- Here is what you need.
- - a spare afternoon
- - NO computer
- - 2 apples, grannies will do.
- - 300 gram of flour.
- - 200 gram of butter, margarine.
- - 100 gram of brown sugar.
- This is for a SMALLish pie, multiply the last
- four items, but not the first two by any
- 'real' number you like.
-
- Mix the last three ingredients well. Add a
- wee but of salt and perhaps a bit of
- lemon(scrapings). Put a fifth of this smooth
- paste apart and spread the big lump thinly
- in a pie-tin, (or any other shape...)
-
- Slice the apples into tiny bits, thin slices
- look best. Add plenty of raisins, a bit of
- sugar, lemonjuice, and canel. Mix well. Make
- sure it is not toooo wet.
-
- Throw this in the pie tin. Use the remainder
- of the paste to make a nice netting, or any
- other covering, and spread this over the
- apple/raizin mix.
-
- Put all this into the oven, 4-6 , wait for
- about 45 minutes. Heat up some apricot jam,
- when it starts melting, pour it out over the
- cake. Add a bit of fresh clotted cream with
- lots of sugar, just before serving....
-
- Happy eating
