- Edith Manual Desktop 24th September 1994
-
-
- The GEM DESKTOP only appears when Edith is used as an
- application. (But see the details for turning it off at
- the end of this page).
-
- It shows an Edith logo, has a menu bar and a set of
- function keys. Clicking on the function keys on the
- desktop is the same as pressing the keys themselves.
- Move the function key box around by clicking the left
- mouse button on the pads left of F1 and right of F10,
- holding the mouse, and dragging the box along. It will
- move immediately as you move the mouse.
-
-
-
- The MENU BAR is divided into the following menus:
-
- EDITH About dialog and desk accessories
-
- FILE File operations. Press help on File
- Selector window for info
-
- EDIT Edit operations. Press help on a text
- window for info
-
- TEXT Text manipulation. Press help on a text

- TURNING OFF THE DESKTOP and THE DESKTOP ROOT PATTERN
-
- Normally, when Edith is launched as an application, a
- desktop is installed. When -nodesk is passed on Edith's
- command line, no desktop and no menu is installed.
-
- Unless MiNT is used, the background pattern of the
- desktop is copied from the application you started
- Edith from. When -noprev is passed to Edith on the
- command line, a solid green/grey desktop is used.
-
- The desktop pattern set in Atari's NEWDESK file manager
- can, unfortunately, not be copied by Edith.
