DR. MOTES COLORBOOK
Ver. 2.1
INTRODUCTION
This is a very simple coloring book program designed especially for
children. You simply use the mouse pointer to select a color then
use the pointer to color the drawing. You can save the pages
you've colored under a different name or you can get another page.
You can also draw your own pages.
USING THE MOUSE
This program requires a Microsoft (tm) mouse. If you have trouble
using your mouse with this software try pressing the F2 key while
in the program. This will change the mouse horizontal sensitivity.
To change it back press F3.
To select major options (those always shown on the screen) just
place the mouse cursor on the option you desire and press the left
button. To select suboptions (those that appear in windows after
you select a major option) place the cursor on the option you
desire then press the left button. This will highlight the
suboption. Now press the left mouse button again to select the
suboption.
SELECTING COLORS
At the top of the screen you'll see 32 color choices. Place the
mouse pointer on the color you desire then press the left mouse
-1-
button to select it. The selected color will be displayed at the
bottom of the screen.
After you've selected a color, place the mouse pointer on the
drawing where you want that color then press the left mouse button.
Your selected color will stay in effect until you choose another.
Any of the colors can be covered over except black and black/gray
checks. Once you use these two colors they become permanent.
Therefore, I recommend you always store your page before using
either of these colors just in case you decide it's not the color
you want. If so, you can recall the page you stored previously.
FILE
This option contains four suboptions. These are Get a File, Store
a File, Delete a File, and Exit.
GET A FILE
Use this option to select a new colorbook page/file. Use the mouse
to select the option as described above. You'll be shown a list of
pages or files to choose from. Use the mouse or arrow keys to
highlight the page you want then press the left mouse button or the
ENTER key. The page you selected will be displayed on your screen.
STORE A FILE
Use this option to store pages you've already colored. After you
choose this option you'll have to type a file or page name for your
drawing. When you type a colorbook page name to store, do not use
an extension. For example, use something like mypage10 but not
mypage10.gfl. The gfl will be added to the end automatically.
DELETE A FILE
Use this option to delete a file you no longer want to keep.
You'll be shown a list of all the colorbook files. Use the mouse
to choose the one you want then press the left button or the ENTER
key. As always, press ESC or the right mouse button to escape from
the option if you change your mind.
EXIT
Use this option to exit the program. Be sure you save your files
before you quit.
CLEAR
Use this major option to erase all graphics in the drawing box. Be
careful that you don't erase anything you want to keep.
DRAW
Use this major option if you want to draw your own colorbook
pictures. After you click on this option you'll be presented with
several options at the top of the screen. You can select straight
lines, boxes, circles, ovals, or freehand drawing. All drawing
-2-
will be done in black. When you're done drawing just select the
QUIT DRAW option to return to the main colorbook screen.
PAGE TITLE
The current page name will always be displayed at the bottom right
of the screen. Instructions will always be displayed on the bottom
row of the screen.
PRINTING
You may print copies of your pages to your printer using you
graphics utility that comes with DOS. If you want to do this you
must load the graphics utility before you run Dr. Motes Colorbook.
To do this from DOS type GRAPHICS PRINTER /R then press ENTER.
Substitute your printer type name for the word PRINTER. For
example if you have an HP Deskjet printer then use DESKJET where
I've used PRINTER. If you have an HP Laserjet then use LASERJET.
If you have a standard dot matrix printer try leaving that part
blank. For more information on printer types consult your DOS
manual under the heading GRAPHICS.
I assume you'll want the printed version to have black lines on a
white background. In this case you'll need to color everything on
the page bright white before you print it. To print your page just
press the SHIFT key then press the PRINT SCREEN (or PRINT) key
before releasing the SHIFT key.
To escape from the program press the right mouse button or the ESC
key. When you're asked if you really want to exit the program
press either "y" for yes or "n" for no.
