║ PUBLISHING WITH SUPERSHOW 6 ║
╚═══════════════════════════════╝
SuperShow is used world wide to create multimedia magazines and
publications on disk and CD-ROM. And with the features of
SuperShow 6, you have the most versatile publishing system
available for DOS and Windows.
You are not confined to pre-defined text boxes and buttons. You
may create your own or you use the ones that come with your
SuperShow Multimedia Authoring system.
Among the tutorial scripts you received with the registered
version of SuperShow is PUBLISH.SPT. This tutorial creates a
mini-magazine with a Table of Contents, 4 articles and an end
program option. In addition, you will see how you can show an
animation sequence while waiting for your user to click a
button or press a key. Check it out to see the basics of
publishing with SuperShow 6.
SuperShow 6 is used to create LiveWire Magazine, the monthly
multimedia magazine for the GEnie Online Service. When you
order our supplemental disk package, we will send you the
latest compiled version along with the actual script so you can
see how to create a full featured multimedia publication.

Here are some particulars regarding the new scrolling features
found in SuperShow 6.0:
We have created 11 mouse buttons exclusively for text
scrolling. These 11 scrolling buttons are in addition to the 25
mouse hot spots available outside the text scrolling boxes.
These mouse scroll buttons are entirely programmable by you.
You may define the size, shape and location of the mouse
buttons as well as the size of your text box. 6 of the mouse
buttons are programmed to perform text scrolling features such
as page down, line down, top of file (home), end of file (end)
and so forth. The other 5 mouse text buttons are used to branch
forward, backward, to totally different line labels or for use
as a hot-button or to print a text file. (Note: At this point
in this presentation, the Previous and Contents buttons will
return you to the Control Panel main menu, Next will pop-up
another text box.)
In addition, you may actually show the button being pressed as
we have done in this script. You may create the style and
shape of your own buttons or use the ones we have included with
your software. You do NOT have to have these button images
present to use the text scrolling. If SuperShow doesn't find
them, it will continue as normal.

│ Scrolling Keyboard Commands │
└──────────────────────────────┘
Each of the mouse buttons has an associated keystroke(s) so
your user may use the mouse or keyboard. As a matter of fact,
you don't have to use the mouse or mouse buttons at all. You
may instruct your user to simply use the key board for text
scrolling.
The PgDn button uses the PgDn cursor key. The PgUp button uses
the PgUp cursor key. The Home button uses the Home cursor key.
The End button uses the End cursor key. The line up button
uses the up arrow cursor key. The line down button uses the
down arrow cursor key. The Exit button uses the Esc key. The
Previous button uses the F9 function key. The Next button uses
the F10 function key; the F2 function key is associated with
the hot-button and F3 will send the text file being scrolled to
a line printer. Pressing the Enter key also activates the Next
button. Pressing the space bar also activates the PgDn button.
