Let's consider the Euro Assistant Pro window's items and their function.
 
ΓÇó Close Box
Click here to quit Euro Assistant Pro.
ΓÇó Zoom Box
Click here to shrink the Euro Assistant Pro window to its minimum width and to move it to its standard position.
ΓÇó Size Box
Drag the size box to horizontally resize the Euro Assistant Pro window. The window's height is fixed and depends on the number of displayed currencies.
ΓÇó Collapse Box
Click the collapse box to hide all but the Euro Assistant Pro window's title bar.
ΓÇó Iconize Button
Click the iconize button to iconize the Euro Assistant Pro window.
ΓÇó Displays
The Euro Assistant Pro window shows one display for each listed currency. Each display is identified by the associated currency's ISO code and shows the associated currency's current amount.
One of the displays is framed: it is the active display. All keyboard inputs are directed to it and edit commands (Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear) act on its content.
To activate an inactive display, click it. Press tab (shift-tab) to activate the next (previous) display.
Displays can be added or removed ("Add Currency" and "Remove Currency" commands in the File menu) and can be moved to a different position in the Euro Assistant Pro window (see ISO Codes below). A different currency can be associated to a display by clicking the corresponding currency popup arrow (see below).
ΓÇó Currency Popup Arrows
Each display has a corresponding currency popup arrow. Click it to popup the Currencies menu and assign a different currency to the display.
 
The picture shows the Currencies menu associated to the DEM popup arrow. The German Mark is checked because it is the current currency. The Euro, French Franc and US Dollar are disabled, because they are already listed in the Euro Assistant Pro window.
ΓÇó ISO Codes
ISO-4217 codes are standardized three-character abbreviations which univocally indicate currencies.
Drag an ISO code and drop it on another ISO code to move the corresponding display to a new position in the Euro Assistant Pro window.
  
Drag an ISO code associated to a non-zero display to the desktop, a folder or a disk to create a text clipping with the displayed amount.
  
Notice that if the option key is pressed while dragging, then both the amount and the ISO code are clipped (e.g. "2064.70 EUR").
Clear all displays and drag the base currency's ISO code (see Base Currency) to the desktop, a folder or a disk to create a text clipping with the exchange (conversion) rates of all currencies listed in the Euro Assistant Pro window against the base currency.
 
 
Clear all displays and drag the ISO code of a currency which is not base currency (see Base Currency) to the desktop, a folder or a disk to create a text clipping with the exchange (conversion) rates of the dragged currencies against the base currency.
  
Finally drag any ISO code to the Trash to clear all displays.
Notice that thousands separators can be included in all clippings by checking the "Include thousands separators in files and text clippings" option in the Preferences dialog box (see Preferences).
Drop a text file or clipping listing numeric values on an ISO code to automatically insert all listed values into the corresponding display and convert them. See also Calculating Series Conversions: Importation.
ΓÇó Rate Button
The Rate button displays the exchange (conversion) rate of the active currency against the base currency (see Base Currency). When the base currency is active, then the Rate button indicates it is the current base currency (e.g. "EUR is base currency.").
Click the Rate button to open the "Currencies" dialog box.
ΓÇó Rounding Popup Button
The Rounding button displays the current rounding of the active currency. The rounding is bracketed when it is (temporarily) greater than the one you specified in Rounding menu or in the "Currencies" dialog box (see Rounding Currencies).
Click it to popup the Rounding menu and switch to a different rounding for the active currency.
 
The picture shows the Japanese Yen Rounding popup menu. The Japanese Yen is currently rounded to 1 JPY.
Iconizing the Euro Assistant Pro Window
 
The Euro Assistant Pro window can be iconized by clicking the "Iconize" button located at its bottom left corner or by choosing the "Iconize" command in the File menu. To de-iconize it, simply click anywhere in the iconized Euro Assistant Pro window or select the "De-iconize" command in the File menu.
 
The iconization of the Euro Assistant Pro window causes the Tape window to be hidden (if visible) and all menu commands, but the "De-iconize" and "Quit" commands, to be disabled.
By setting the "Startup Iconized" preference (see Preferences), Euro Assistant Pro always starts up iconized. This option is particularly useful if you put Euro Assistant Pro in your Startup Items folder.
