ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. About This Book ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This book introduces you to Hyperwrite/E. Use it as a reference book for
Hyperwrite/E's most common functions, a reference to tasks unique to online
information and a reference for the most advanced functions.
The material in this guide assumes that you are familiar with OS/2 or another
windowing operating system. It also assumes that you are aware of Information
Presentation Facility (IPF), OS/2's online help manager, If not, be sure to go
through Hyperwrite/E's tutorial.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. How This Book is Organized ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Chapter 1 describes the features, concepts and purpose behind development of
Hyperwrite/E.
Chapter 2 describes how to start and install Hyperwrite/E. It also explains
how to get online help and an online tutorial.
Chapter 3 is a chapter of lessons. It gives the steps for completing the most
common tasks using the quickest steps.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Related Information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The OS/2 User's Guide and Quick Reference will have information you may need.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Introducing Hyperwrite/E ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Your online helps and documents can now come alive with color and animation.
You can make information much more interesting to read by linking colorful
pictures to your words. Your help panels can automatically bring up other help
panels, online books or other OS/2 programs. All of this is possible with
Hyperwrite/E, and it's all so easy to do.
Hyperwrite/E features a graphical toolbar, pulldown menus, and lists you build
as you edit. These easy-to-use features are further enhanced by drag, drop,
and swipe methods that OS/2 introduced to the world. Creating text links,
graphics links, and program links are really fast! Creating tables and split
screen panels, once very complex tasks, are simple!
There are many other features that make Hyperwrite/E a powerful tool.
Animation: Lets you create action sequences for IPF helps or IPF online books
They are fun to use in online presentations also.
Application Controlled Viewports: Allows you to associate a program with a
panel, giving the program control.
It's common to have IPF panels display animation or video through the
use of application controlled viewports. Hyperwrite/E just makes it
easy to author.
Dynamic Data Formatting (DDF): Lets you have information passed to IPF to
display while IPF is running. It's information that IPF doesn't have
to know anything about. For example, if online help depends on the
windows present when the user presses F1, you would use dynamic data
formatting to display that conditional help. If the user needs the
most current information from an inventory program, DDF in help is a
useful feature.
Version Control: For IPF or presentations, the same information can have
several versions and each can be displayable as if it's a separate
document.
User Preference: Lets you move from user to advanced mode and set up your
editing environment (make your screen display just those things you
want).
Indexing: Enables you to create index entries using the mark, drag and drop
technique.
Style Files: Hyperwrite/E comes with a style called PANEL.STY. PANEL.STY has
elements and panel definitions that are appropriate for IPF help or
online book development. You can add to the list of panel styles in
PANEL.STY and you can create your own styles. Your own styles are
good to create if you want to use Hyperwrite/E for presentations
(online, using Hyperwrite/E or hardcopy, using a PostScript plotter).
The create style filefeature allows you to invent as many styles as
you want.
Grouped Elements: You can define a customized page or panel layout that can be
used over and over.
Color: You can change the text and background colors.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. The Basics of IPF and Hyperwrite/E ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Hyperwrite/E was developed to improve productivity of the information developer
or programmer that uses IPF (Information Presentation Facility). IPF is a very
powerful reader shipped with OS/2 that displays online books or helps. What
makes IPF so powerful is all the hyperlinking function and the application
interaction it gives you. For example, you can link text with other panels of
text, link text with graphics, link graphics with text and graphics, link parts
of graphics with text or other graphics parts, link panels, and text or
graphics to other OS/2 applications.
Its powerful application interaction is available through a help application
programming interface and dynamic data formatting, where the application can
"talk to" IPF. IPF can "talk to" the application also. It does that through
the Inform link. You can even make IPF "talk" to itself by using the
autolinking features. Each of these features will be detailed in the "Linking
with IPF" section of this book.
Hyperwrite/E offers all of the features of IPF that runs on OS/2 2.0. However,
instead of having to go through all of the labor intensive tagging that was
previously required, Hyperwrite/E automatically formats the text for you as you
select IPF elements from an element list. You can create tables using a dialog
box that asks you how many rows and columns you want for your table and then
automatically displays it for you. You can also create links using the marking,
dragging, and dropping techniques.
You can also use Hyperwrite/E as a presentation tool using functions that are
really unrelated to IPF development. Hyperwrite/E can format and print your
Hyperwrite/E panels on a PostScript plotter or printer. Or, you can create your
own styles and use Hyperwrite/E to display your presentations.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1.1. What You Need to Run Hyperwrite/E ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Hyperwrite/E runs on OS/2 1.3 or higher. You need an IBM Personal System/2
with a color display and a mouse.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Getting Started ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This chapter describes how to install and start Hyperwrite/E and its tutorial.
We recommend that you work through the tutorial to get familiar with the
features of IPF and Hyperwrite/E
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. Installing Hyperwrite/E ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You must have OS/2 1.3 or higher before installing Hyperwrite/E.
1. Create a subdirectory for Hyperwrite/E and make it your current directory:
md hyperwrt
2. Change the LIBPATH in the CONFIG.SYS file so that the correct DLL files can
be found when Hyperwrite/E needs them. Add a period (.) to the beginning
of the LIBPATH statement:
LIBPATH =.;
3. Make HYPERWRT your current directory.
cd hyperwrt
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2. Starting Hyperwrite/E ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you're still in the OS/2 window and the HYPERWRT subdirectory, simply enter:
hyperwrt
If you've closed that OS/2 window, or performed some other tasks since
installing, you'll have to get back into an OS/2 window and have the HYPERWRT
subdirectory as your current directory, or specify the HYPERWRT subdirectory in
your PATH statement in the CONFIG.SYS file.
When you start Hyperwrite/E, the logo is displayed:
The logo is then replaced with Hyperwrite/E's main screen.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.1. Learning Hyperwrite/E ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
We recommend that you take the tutorial to learn about Hyperwrite/E.
1. Click on the Help option on the Menu bar.
2. Click on the Tutorial option.
Accessing the Tutorial
3. We have set a path for you. Read and scroll the panel to the right of the
main menu.
4. If you do not want to take the path we have set for you, double click on
any topic from the main menu.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3. Getting Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
There is online help for each option. To get help on an option in a menu,
highlight the item and press F1.
Hyperwrite/E's Help Menu
To get help with options in the Menu bar:
1. Press F10 to focus on the Menu bar.
2. Use the left and right arrow keys to highlight the option you want help
with.
3. Press F1 for help with the highlighted option.
Another way is to press ESC when you're under the option you're interested in.
This removes the menu, leaving only the menu bar item highlighted. Then press
F1.
The helps for the menu bar items tell what functions are available under each
option. Other helps provided with each option are more detailed "how to"
helps.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.1. Terms and Definitions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Panel Panel is the basic unit of organization within a document. The "Main
Menu" panel in the figure above is an example. Note that not all of
the panel is visible. Scrolling down with the vertical scroll bar
reveals more information in the same panel. The maximum amount of
information in a panel is about 40 hard copy pages.
Element Elements are those smaller units of a document or online information
file like paragraphs, lists, and headings.
Style File Style files control how Hyperwrite/E displays elements and panels.
Hyperwrite/E comes with a style file: PANEL.STY. However, you can
create your own style files. If you want to create presentations,
and want to define headings with much larger .....
