PullUp
By Terry Adams
Version 1.50
==============
This Program is a time saving utility. It allows you to setup
quick methods of running programs. It does this by allowing
the creation of bars just above the icon bar. You can then
add files to these bars.
Simply that's it but there are more advanced features such as :
The ability to sort the items
The ability to create a series of submenus in the bars
The ability to perform *commands instead of running a program
What to do....
==============
Firstly run the program, this may take a few seconds.
This will show you the setup I have on my machine. It has
quite a few bars some with quite a few sub menus on.
Once you have played with it simply copy the program to a
hardisc or something that can be writable then delete the
file PullDown inside the directory (Hold shift and double click
if you don't know how to get inside)
Alternatively you can delete each bar by following the below
instructions then saving the data.
Instructions.
=============
Press select on any of the bars to bring up a menu of items.
To run an object from the menu just click select on it.
Editing.
========
How do I start from scratch?

Press Alt on the keyboard and Select on the main strip.
Fill in the bars name and press return.
How do I edit a bars' name?

Press Alt and adjust on the bar you wish to edit. Alter the
name and press return.
How do I bring up the bar control menu?
=======================================
Either press Alt+Menu on the bar or double click on the bar.
How do I delete a bar?
======================
Bring up the bar control menu (See above) and select delete
How do I sort a bar?
====================
Bring up the bar control menu and select sort.
How do I add a file to the bar?
===============================
Drag the file to the bar on the strip. The bar will be added
either in the top or in a submenu of the bar. (See later)
How do I edit a files' details?
===============================
Bring up the bar menu with the file in and press Alt and
Select on the file. This will bring up the object editing
window.
Or bring up the bar menu with adjust and select the file.
(Alt is not needed)
How do I delete a file?
=======================
Bring up the object editing window and select delete.
Object Editing window
=====================
From the object information window any changes you make will
not be made until you OK the changes.
Selecting cancel will stop any changes from being made.
The name and the path can be changed from this window.
The object action allows you to set a different action than
running the program when you select it.
The normal setting is Filer_Run.
If you set *Command then the object path will be the *command
when you select it.
Do nothing does literally this. I use this for some sub menus
when I don't want them to be run.
The object type doesn't do anything at the moment.
Advanced features.
==================
How do I create a sub menu or add to an existing sub menu?
==========================================================
Bring up the bar control menu and go into the sub menu
"Add under".
Either select "Top" to add to the top menu or "Sub Item" to
add to/create a sub menu.
If you select "Sub Item" the bar menu will come up. Select
the item you wish to create under/add under. The program
will confirm this is what you wish to do then create it if
necessary.
How do I find out where any files will be added under?
======================================================
Bring up the bar control menu and go into the sub menu
"Add under".
The bottom item which is greyed is the item any files
will be added under. It will either show (Top) or ("Item").
How do I change the font type and size?
=======================================
I havn't got around to making an easy method of doing this
yet. The only way to do it is to edit the !Config file.
The 1st line must be the font name and then 2nd line must
be the font size (pt).
If there isn't a file or the font can't be found then
trinity.medium 12 pt will be used.
