HELP
The resident file-viewer by Clockwork Software.
This little file viewer was asked for by one of our customers, and seems
a handy enough tool. Designed to replace the TYPE command but to be
memory resident and much more flexible.

│ INSTALLING │ │
├────────────┘ │
│ │
│ Type :- VIEW │
│ at the DOS prompt to install the program in memory. │
│ VIEW occupies only about 13.5k of RAM. │
│ │
│ Type :- VIEW REMOVE │
│ at the DOS prompt to remove VIEW and release the memory. │
│ │
│ Note that other resident programs (TSRs) installed above VIEW may lock │
│ it into place, so you might have to remove them first. │
│ │
│ If you use crummy TSRs which aren't self-removing, install Clockwork's │
│ XTRA program. XTRA's REMOVE command strips out all residents. │

│ ACTION KEYS │ │
├─────────────┘ │
│ │
│ VIEW is supplied with Alt + V as the ACTION KEYS. Press both KEYS │
│ together to call and to dismiss the program. │
│ │
│ The ACTION KEYS can be changed by pressing "A" for Action, and saved │
│ as defaults for future occasions provided VIEW.COM is in the current │
│ directory. │
│ │
│ If you forget what the ACTION KEYS are, attempting to re-install the │
│ program will display your current settings. │

│ toggles between modes while maintaining roughly the same position │
│ in the file. │
│ │
│ WRAP: │
│ In ASCII display mode you may select whether lines longer than │
│ 80 characters are displayed on one line (with right-end lost), │
│ or wrapped onto subsequent lines. │
│ │
│ GRAPHICS: │
│ You may select whether characters above ASCII(128) are folded or │
│ shown as IBM graphics. CRLFs are also displayed, and TAB │
│ characters expanded or not according to the Graphics mode. │
