ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Extended Help for MLEView ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The MLEView program allows a user to view files as a series of text lines. Any
file can be viewed, but if the file does not contain only simple ASCII text
then garbage will appear on the screen when the file is opened.
Help is available any time you press the F1 key from anywhere within the
program. Because this is context sensitive help, the help information that is
displayed depends on where in the program F1 was selected.
For instance, you receive help for the Options pull-down on the action bar when
you highlight Options and press F1. However, this is not the same help that is
displayed when you press F1 while the Set colors choice in the Options
pull-down is highlighted.
Press Esc at any time to view the previous help window or to return to the main
MLEView window if there are no other help windows active.
