- The Buddy System For Imagine 2.0
-
- 03-12-92 Release
-
- (please read the "Getting Started" topic, from within the Buddy System for
- more details on all the new functions.)
-
- Here's some features of the new interface:
-
- · Draggable and Sizeable text and index windows
- · Button Gadgets for the Search and Move functions
- · Improved Searching - The text is now positioned at matching hypertext
- links and all matches are highlighted for visibility.
- · You can now activate the Search function (Spacebar) without a text
- window active
- · Keyboard equivalents for all functions
- · The Index is positioned at the closest match if an exact one is not
- found
- · A new Global Search function. This allows you to search all text
- files for a particular word or phrase. (CTRL & Spacebar)
- · You can print the current text by pressing the PrtSc key (the * key
- on the numeric pad of A500, A2x00s & A3x00s; or just press the
- regular * key)
-
- DEMONSTRATIONS
-
- · A requester appears before proceeding with a demonstration.
- Additionally, a requester appears to ask if you want to perform the
- Initialization sequence before the actual demonstration.
-
- -You do not have to perform the initialization sequence if you are
- in the correct editor for a particular demonstration (i.e. you are
- in the detail editor & have selected the Extrude demo), AND if the
- editor interface is in its default state. That is, the grid spacing
- is set to 20 units, Magnification = 1, all three views are centered
- at the origin (0,0,0), etc.
-
- Bypassing the initialization essentially lets you get directly to
- a demonstration, without delay.
-
- If a demonstration appears to be malfunctioning, abort it with the
- ESC and restart it - this time with an initialization sequence.
-
- · WARNING: DO NOT MODIFY The Imagine.config file in the Buddy System
- drawer. Certain settings are required for the demonstrations
- to run correctly.
-
- · WARNING: Certain Public Domain Screen Blankers & Mouse Accelerators
- may conflict with the Buddy System's demonstrations due to
- the nature of the playback process. Demonstrations are
- pre-recorded mouse & keyboard sequences that can be thrown
- off by programs that affect mouse movement. So, to make
- sure the demonstrations play correctly, disable any mouse
- acceleration. A3000 owners should not have the acceleration
- feature activated in their Input Preferences. Also, Make
- sure Mouse Speed = 1.
