INTRODUCTION
Like the sidekicks of the old West after whom it is named,
Borland's Sidekick is a "faithful companion"...always ready to
help when needed; yet, never in the way. Now that you've
booted it up, you'll get to see for yourself just how powerful
an ally you've got.
You're now viewing the notepad....although it's much more than
just a space on the screen to make notes. You can perform
global searches, pull text from another file... or even import
data directly from the screen of the software you were using
before you "called up" Sidekick and then "paste" that data
into another application program. You can automatically time
and date stamp your notes...and then save them. Sidekick
allows you to mark a block of text and move it, copy it,
delete it, write it to another file, or even sort it!
You can also easily activate any Sidekick window from within
any other.
Here's a quick example of how this works. At the moment,
you're viewing the notepad. Suppose you suddenly needed the
calculator. Just press <Alt-C>. Your calculator is ready and
at your service.
Need the calendar? <Alt-L> will bring it right up. Now, you
have the notepad, calculator and calendar on-screen at the
same time.
To return to the Notepad, just press <Esc> twice, and you'll
see the other two windows vanish.
If you need a hand at any time, Sidekick has an on-line help
system, geared to give you information on whatever Sidekick
window you're working within. Just press function key <F1>.
For further information on all the Sidekick features, be sure
to consult your manual.
