Welcome to Studio Access for Windows... With this interface, you can find what you need quickly
and easily.
When you first start up Studio Access, you'll be asked to choose one of three ways to access
this CD-ROM: Browse a Selected Category, Browse All Files, or Browse Words.
I. Browse Selected Category
When you press the Browse Selected Category button, you'll be presented with a "browse box", a
locator, a description box, and action buttons.
The browse box is a scrollable area showing all files in the selected category in file name order.
You can use your mouse, or arrow and pageup/down keys to move the highlight bar within the
browse box. Another way to move quickly is the "locator". When you press any letter or number
keys, the letters and numbers accumulate into the locator, and the browse box jumps to the
nearest matching file name. For example, pressing ACC may line up a file called ACCA.ZIP.
You can also backspace if you type more than you've intended. When you move the browse
box in some other way (such as page down), the "locator" is reset.
There are action buttons to allow you to copy or install the highlighted file, or to search for
a word or phrase in the descriptions of the files.
When you press COPY, you will be asked for a location and file name to copy the file to.
Studio Access will provide a suggested file name and location.
When you press INSTALL, Studio Access will unarchive the selected file to a sub-directory of
\STUDIOx named after the file. You will then be given an opportunity to run one of the newly
installed files. You don't have to run anything immediately - you can always use the Windows
file manager at some later date. Please note that not all programs on this CD-ROM can be run
from Windows, or may have special requirements. Consult the documentation provided with
each individual program you install.
When you press FIND, Studio Access will ask you for a word or phrase to search for. You can
optionally search backwords or forwards, for partial or complete words, and with or without case-
sensitivity.
The description box appears in the lower right hand corner, and shows the complete description
for the highlighted file.
II. Browse All Categories
When you press the Browse All Categories button, you'll be presented with the same "browse box",
locator, description box, and action buttons as for Browse Selected Categories. The only difference
is that you will be able to access files in all categories.
III. Browse by Words in Descriptions
This option allows you to view a "browse box" in the order of words found in the descriptions of
files. This gives you the power to find all occurances of a word quickly and easily.
When you press the Browse by Words button, you'll be presented with the same "browse box",
locator, and description box as for Browse Selected Categories. However, the action buttons
are limited to COPY and INSTALL, since FIND is redundant.
When you press any letter or number keys on this option, the letters and numbers accumulate
into the locator, and the browse box jumps to the nearest matching word. For example, pressing
ACC may line up a file description containing the word "ACCESS". You can backspace if you
type more than you've intended. When you move the browse box in some other way (such as
page down), the "locator" is reset.
Note that only COMPLETE words with 3 to 12 letters are in the database for this option. Common
words such as "THE" and "AND" are omitted. If you need to find a file in a selected category only,
or partial words, use the Browse by Selected Category or Browse All Category options.
Thank for purchasing this CD-ROM, and for using Studio Access for Windows!
