ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Thanks ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

                                    !Thanks!

I've got a lot of people to thank for their help while I was building this and
previous Smalled versions. Thanks to:

     First the beta testers who kept me going, especially
      -Peter Landstreet (Barent)
      -Paulo Mario dos S. D. de Moraes
      -Martin S. Hanoian

     My wife and two kids for constantly interrupting and showing me what's
      really important.
     Rich Walsh for sharing the DT rendering method with me.
     An increasing number of users who send me their comments.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Startup parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled only supports one startup parameter at the moment. If a program object
is created of smalled with the parameter /H or the /H is used on the command
line, Smalled will execute the Smalled HTML Extensions automaticly.

Future versions will see a lot more employement of startup parameters.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. The Smalled controls ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled features a normal menu bar, a toolbar and several context-popups to
control it's action. Besides that Smalled will respond in any way to direct
manipulation (d&d) and supports a number of hot keys (accelerators) which can
be edited to fit your personal needs.

This section is organized in the same way as the Smalled controls.

     Main menu.
        -  File-menu.
        -  Edit-menu.
        -  Options-menu.
        -  Tools-menu.
        -  Windows-menu.
     The toolbar.
     The Statusbar.
     Popups.
        -  The context popup menu.
        -  Statusbar Wrap popup.
        -  Statusbar Indent popup.
        -  Statusbar Changed/Autosave popup..
     Drag-n-drop.
     Hotkeys and mouse.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. The Statusbar ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled has a configurable graphic statusbar. It contains four area's in which
information is displayed.

The color and font of the statusbar can be changed by dropping a color or a
font. The area's in the statusbar will match the font width. The height however
won't change.
These changes will be saved when you close smalled. or when User window save is
on by using Save window.

To configure the statusbar use the Statusbar preference page from the
preferences dialog. You can change if the information area's are displayed as
text or as an icon. Besides that information area's can be turned on and of.

     Text area. This area is used to display the lineno, colnr and number of
      lines. Besides that it's used to show a number of system messages on
      certain actions.

     The Wrap area shows the current wrap state.
      off, word wrap, line wrap

     The Indent area shows the current indent state.
      on, off

     The Autosave area shows the current autosave state.
      on, off

     The Changed area shows the current saved state of the document being
      edited.
      unchanged,  changed.

 By clicking on the information area's with the RMB, a context popup will
 appear for that area. The main-message will show the same popup as the edit
 area. The Warp area shows a wrap popup, the Indent area a Indent popup and the
 changed/autosave area shows a file-save popup.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2. The Toolbar ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The Smalled toolbar is configurable so that it can be modified to fit your
personal needs (see the  toolbar preferences). To provide some help the Toolbar
also features bubblehelp.

The icons in the toolbar have the following functions:

By doubleclicking the icon right here in the help file, you'll get more
extensive help about the feature attached to the button.

      -New.
      -Open
      -Insert file.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3. The File menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The file menu contains a number of options which enable you to handle a file
from and to disk, do some simple file-management or print it.

     New
     Open...
     Insert file...
     Reload file...
     Shred file...
     Backup file...
     Save
     Save as...
     copy to file...
     Autosave...
     Print...
     File information...
     Exit
     Save-n-exit


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.1. New ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The way New will react depends on the setting for New in the general
preferences page. New will either clear the current document and will set the
filename to: Untitled.fil, or a new Smalled session will be started.

A new document can also be created by using open with a non-existing filename,
this invokes a new action and the name of the new file is set to the name
entered.

Another way to invoke new is through drag-n-drop. Simply drag the Smalled
titlebar-icon to the shredder.

If New is invoked and Smalled is configured so that it will remove the current
contents, it will first check if the file you're currently editing has changed
since the last time it was last saved. If this is the case, you will be
prompted if the current contents of Smalled have to be saved.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.2. Opening a file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 A new document can be opened by activating Open. The Smalled handles this
depends on the settings for Open in the general preferences page.
If Smalled doesn't open a new session for the selected file, a check will be
aplied if the file you're currently editing has changed since load-time or
since the last time it was saved. If this is the case, you will be prompted if
the current contents of Smalled have to be saved. You can reply with:

     Cancel: cancels the whole operation. You will return in the current
      document.
     No: doesn't save the current file, but it start the fileopen dialog. The
      contents of Smalled aren't distroyed yet, so if you press cancel in the
      fileopen dialog, smalled returns to the current text.
     Yes: saves the current file and it will start the fileopen dialog.

 The fileopen dialog will be opened in the directory set with the set default
 directory preferences. This can be either a default directory or the directory
 in which the last opened file resides.

 If a filename is entered in the file open dialog, that doesn't exist, Smalled
 will assume that  you want to create a new file. So if a nonexisting filename
 is entered, Open functions like  New with the ability to set a new filename.
 If you do this, an alarm will sound and the statusbar will mention what you're
 doing.

 An other way of opening a file is to use the drag-n-drop capability of OS/2.
 If a file object is dropped on the Smalled icon, Smalled will be started and
 the dropped object will be opened. Drag-n-drop can also be used when Smalled
 is already started.  If an object is dropped on the main edit area, the
 dropped file will be opened.  If Smalled already contains text, this drop will
 have the effect of  a Insert file action. The contents of the dropped file
 will be inserted at the point were the file is dropped (droppoint).

 Besides getting the file contents into Smalled, there are some values loaded
 from the extended attributes if the file was previously saved with Smalled.
 The font, tab, wrap, Indent and cursor position settings are loaded from the
 extended attributes.

 Smalled can handle large files. However, some operations may become rather
 slow as files grow very large (>1Mb). However, most of the time this shouldn't
 be a problem because Smalled is multi-threaded.  You may start editing or
 searching while Smalled is still loading a file.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.3. Insert file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 If Insert file is activated, Smalled will start an action which has a large
similarity with opening a file. The fileopen dialog will be started using the
directory set with the Set default directory dialog and a filename can be
entered. If the filename doesn't exist, you will be prompted so.

If the file exists, it will be opened and the contents of this file will be
inserted at the current cursor position. The name of the file which is
currently being edited will be preserved. The font, tab, indent and wrap
settings of the Inserted file will NOT be used. The retrieved text will use the
settings of the current file. There is however one xeption. If you're
retrieving a file while the smalled doesn't contain anything, it will handle a
file-insert as a fileopen.

An alternative way of retrieving a file is to use the  drag-n-drop  capability
of OS/2. If a file object is dropped on the Edit area, the file contents will
be inserted in the current text at the position of the drop (droppoint).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.4. Reload file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Reload file, destroys all currently made changes and reloads the file
currently being edited. If there are changes in the current document, a
messagebox will popup with the warning that all changes will be discarded. At
that point the reload action can be aborted.

This option isn't available if the file being edited is Untitled.fil. (check
the title-bar for the current filename).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.5. Shred file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Shred file deletes the file currently loaded without any further warning. As a
safety catch, the changed status of the document is set. This way an unwanted
Shred can be undone by saving the file. Note that if changes are made, the
document saved will not be the same as the document that's deleted!

Besides this safety, you can also choose to automaticly invoke a backup before
a shred is performed. Check out the Shred directory in the Backup preferences


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.6. Backup file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Backup file will create a backup of the original of the file currently being
edited. How this backup is created depends on the settings in the Backup
preferences. With this option backups can be created if you want to control the
backups that are made. For example, you may want to create a backup before you
save a file.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.7. Save ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Save file, saves the current contents of Smalled. If the filename is
Untitled.fil, a file-dialog will be displayed in which you can enter a filename
under which the contents will be saved.

The Smalled contents can also be saved by using  drag-n-drop. (Drag the
titlebar icon to the disired folder to save the whole file).

If a file is saved, not only the contents are saved, but also the:

      - used font
      - current wrap mode
      - used 1inelength.
      - the current Indent setting
      - the tab size and mode
      - the current cursor position.

 These settings are saved in the Extended attributes. This way the files can
 still be handled as pure ASCII.The drawback is that saving a file on a fat
 drive may take extra time because the ea's on a fat drive must be saved in a
 separate file.

 The name used for saving the file is displayed in the titlebar. If the
 titlebar  contains the name Untitled.fil, Smalled assumes that you're editing
 a new  file and no filename has been entered yet. The standard file dialog
 will be started so that a valid name may be entered.

 If you want to save the current file under another name, use  save as.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.8. Save as ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The Save as option of the file menu has as main purpose to save an existing
file under a new  name. Normally the filename of the contents is diplayed in
the titlebar. The name displayed will be used when Save as starts the standard
file dialog. After the Save as action, the filename used for the file saved
will be changed in the filename used for save as. If you don't want that name
to be changed use the copy to file  option in the same menu.

If a text-selection is active in the edit area, the fileopen dialog will show a
checkbox which will enable you to save the selected text to a file. If this
option is  choosen, the filename for the current text won't be changed.

If the filename entered in the save dialog already exists, you're prompted. At
that point you can choose to overwrite the existing file or to cancel the save
as action.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.9. copy to file... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The copy to file action enables you to save the file currently being edited
under another name  (and in another path or drive) without changing the current
filename. This way it's easy to make multiple copies of one text-file. If copy
to file is activated, the  standard file dialog is started. In the header of
that dialog you can see that copy to is started.

If a text-selection is active in the edit area, the fileopen dialog will show a
checkbox which will enable you to save the selected text to a file.

You may use all the facilities of the file open dialog, it won't affect the
file you're currently editing.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.10. Autosave ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Tthe Autosave function is a toggle. The initial state of this item depends on
the setting in the Backup preferences page. The status of the autosave setting
can also be viewed in the statusbar. Here it can also be toggled by using the
popup on the autosave statusbar area.

If this menuitem is togled on, Smalled will start counting the changes you make
in the current document. Every letter you type, as well as changing the font or
tabs is concidered a change. If the number of changes that is given in the
preference page is reached, Smalled will save the current file if it has a
valid filename (it won't work for untitled.fil).

Depending on the backup settings a backup will be created on this event.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.11. Print ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Printing is only available when Smalled contains text. The way this text will
be printed can be modified by setting the print preferences. Headers, footers,
pagenr's, margins etc can be set here.

If printing is activated, the following dialog will shown.  If a selection has
to be printed, check the "print selected text" checkbox. Another attractive way
to print the text or a selection is by using drag-n-drop. Simply drag the
selected text to the printer. (For the whole document, drag the titlebar icon.)

If this dialog is activated, the default printer will be hilited. If you've got
more printers installed, another printer can be selected by hiliting the
printername. (It may be a good idea to install more printerobjects even if
you've only got one physical printer. Every printerobject can have a different
set of properties. For example, one printer for draft, one for landscape, etc.)

The print job properties for the printjob you're about to start can be modified
by choosing the setup button. A printer specific setup dialog will appear. This
dialog is contained in the printer driver and has its own help.

If the print button is hit,Smalled will start printing. The Smalled print
routine is multi-threaded. This means you can work while Smalled is printing.
The Smalled print routine is a two staged routine. In the first stage, the
contents of the edit area are read. During this action the red slider will show
the progress made. During this red period, you shouldn't make any changes in
the text. Any changes made during this period may show up in the print
(depending on whether Smalled has already handled the line you're working on).

The next stage in printing is the actual printing. The progress in this action
is shown by  a green slider. During this action every function in Smalled  may
be performed, it won't disturb the printout. Exiting Smalled  at this time will
cause the printjob to be discarded without any further notice!

If you want to stop the current printjob, use the Stop button which came
available after the printjob started. This will interrupt the printjob. It
won't remove the already printed pages from the printqueue though.

The Smalled print facility features WYSIWYG printing. The way things look on
screen, they will appear on paper. There is a simple trick to create a
print-preview with the OS/2 system. Open the print object you want to print to
and activate the object popup. In the popup of a printer there is an option
named "Change status". With this option the spooler can be told to hold the
printjobs. If this option is flagged, the printjobs aren't sent to the printer,
but it will appear in the  printer object. To view the contents simply
double-click in the job you want to view. OS/2 will start a viewer and you can
view the contents of tge print on-screen. (Future versions of Smalled will
contain a print-preview option)

WYSIWYG printing in Smalled means:

The font used in the edit area is the same font as used by the printer. If a
font incompatebility occurs, the print routine will try to match the printer
font as close as possible to the used screen font. An example: The system font
or the vio fonts aren't supported by printers. These are typical screenfonts
developed for fast screendisplay. If these fonts are printed OS/2 tries to
match them as closely as possible to one of the available fonts. In most cases
this will mean that Courier is selected because this is in most cases the only
other available non-proportional font. All ATM fonts are supported.

The tab size as set in the Smalled is also used in the printed  document. This
means that the width of the tabs is also used by the print-function By using
tabs it's possible to create tables.

If word wrap is on, the width of the lines printed are set by  the size of the
main Smalled window! This means that Smalled uses the width of the Smalled main
window to set the width of the printed text. So a litteral copy of every
textline as you see them on the screen will appear on the printout.
Note that in a fullscreen (maximized) Smalled session with word-wrap, the lines
always exceed the  width of the print-paper!

There's no checking if the line width exeeds the printer page width! So if you
print very long lines, they are clipped at the side of the page. To prevent
this from happening, us the preview described above.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.12. File information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The file information option in the file menu gives the  possibility to get
some more information about the file you're currently editing. This option will
only work if the file you're editing is already present on disk. If you're
editing a new document, file information won't be available.

File information gives info about:

      - Current filename
      - Current filesize
      - Allocated filesize
      - Creation date (HPFS only)
      - Last access (HPFS only)
      - Last write
      - File attributes

 Besides that it gives information about five settings saved in the extended
 attributes.

      - Used font
      - Wrap mode
      - Linelength
      - Indent mode
      - Used tabsize


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.13. Save-n-Exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Save-n-Exit is a shortcut for exiting Smalled and saving the  current contents
at the same time.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.14. Exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Exiting Smalled can be done by double clicking on the system icon, by
selecting the exit option of the file menu, by clicking the exit button in the
titlebar or by using the F3 button. In all cases Smalled will check if the file
contents are changed since the last save action or since load-time. If this is
the case, you are prompted if the file has to be saved, if the exit procedure
should be canceled or if Smalled should quit without saving the changes.

If the current filename is Untitled.fil, selecting Yes from the dialog will
start the save as file dialog, so you can enter a valid filename.

If a Smalled print session is active, it is discarded as Smalled  exits!

Smalled will also exit if CTRL-x or ALT-F4 is pressed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4. The Edit-menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The Smalled Edit-menu contains the items used to modify (or used in modifying)
the contents of the Smalled edit area. The Edit-menu contains the following
items:

     Undo
     Redo
     Cut
     Cut line
     Copy
     Paste
     Clear
     Goto line
     Find
     Find again
     Replace
     Select all
     Deselect all


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.1. Undo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Undo will try to undo the last actions. For this Smalled has 64 Undo and 64
Redo buffers. By using these in an intelligent way (joining them), Smalled has
a virtually infinite Undo/Redo buffer.

Undo always undoes a block of actions that are catenated. Character undo isn't
implemented yet. It will be in future releases.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.2. Redo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Redo will try to redo all the actions. that were previously undone.

Not all actions can be redone! For example you can't redo a delete of text that
has already been deleted by hand. Smalled will try to redo most of your undo
actions when possible.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.3. Cut ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Cut will delete the currently selected text and move it to the Clipboard. When
cut is invoked, any previous text contents of the clipboard are destroyed. You
can avoid this by using the Smalled clipboard extensions.
Text can be retrieved from the clipboard by other Smalled sessions or other
applications (even Win/OS2) by using paste.

The maximum amount of text you may cut to the clipboard is limited to 64 Kb in
Smalled. If you try  to cut more then 64 Kb. Smalled will give an error message
and discard the cut operation. This is  because Smalled is based on the MLE
control which has this restriction. In future releases of smalled this
restriction may be overcome. This limitation isn't there if drag-n-drop is used
when moving text. Future version of Smalled won't have this limitation.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.4. Cut line ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Since wordstar the CTRL-Y function has become very popular. In Smalled CTRL-Y
or Cut-line cuts the current line to the clipboard. It doesn't matter if WRAP
is turned on or off. So a line is not a piece of text between two <CR>
characters but a line as visible on the screen.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.5. Copy ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Copy copies the selected text to the Clipboard so it can be used somewhere
else in a paste operation. The selected text remains unchanged although
previous text contents of the clipboard are destroyed.  Text can be copied from
the main edit area and from several dialogs, in which parts of the text  can be
selected like in the find, replace and the file-dialog. Use mouse or
Shift-arrow to select  text and copy it to the clipboard by invoking
Control-Ins.

In Smalled a copy operation is limited to 64Kb. So if you select more then 64
Kb of text and try to copy it to the clipboard an error message is displayed
and the copy action will be discarded! This limitation isn't operartional if
text is copied by invoking a drag-n-drop operation. Through  Drag-n-drop you
can copy any amount of text in a document or between documents. So Drag and
Drop doesn't have the 64 Kb limit.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.6. Paste ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Paste copies the data from the Clipboard (if there is any) to the current
cursor position in the main window . If any text is currently selected, it will
be deleted and replaced by the contents of the clipboard. If you want to
perform a paste in a dialog window, use Shift-Ins.

The amount of text that smalled can paste is limited to 64Kb. If you try to
paste more then 64 Kb of text, Smalled will give an error message and the paste
operation is discarded. This limitation  isn't there when Drag-n-drop is used.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.7. Clear ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Clear deletes the currently selected text. The same effect can be invoked by
using the del key. A clear can be undone by Undo.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.8. Find ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 If Find is invoked the following dialog will show

In the find dialog a find item can be entered with the maximum length of 64
characters. If the find button is hit, a search will be conducted through the
text. This search can be tailored by the three check boxes on the dialog.

     Global. Normally the search will be conducted from the current cursor
      position. If Global is checked the search will be conducted from the top
      of the document (or the bottom is back is checked).
     Back. The search will be conducted backwards. Find again will also work
      in a backwards maner.
     Case sensitive. Normally the search is case insensitive. By checking this
      box it is made case sensitive.

 As the search is conducrted ans a match is found, it will be hilited
 (selected). If no matching item is found, a message is displayed.

 If a find is invoked, Smalled will also set a so-called jumppoint.  This
 enables you to return quickly to the point from where the find was invoked.

 If an item is found, the find dialog will dissapear. If the entered item has
 to be searched again,  it's possible to invoke the Find option again. Although
 a simpler aproach is to use the  Find again option.

 It is possible to move the find dialog around. Everytime this dialog is
 invoked, it will look at the settings you set through Preferences. If the Use
 last  Find-dialog position was checked, the last position will be used to
 display the dialog.  If this setting was not checked, the dialog will be
 displayed relative to the mouse-pointer.  So you can position the dialog in
 the place you find the most conveniant. Besides the position,  the dialog will
 also remember the last entered search item.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.9. Find Again ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Find again option can only be used if the find action has been invoked at
least once. If find has been invoked, the search-text is preserved. Find again
will use this search-text. Find again will conduct  a non-casesensitive search
from the current cursor position until the end off the file or until a
matching item is found. If a match is found, it will be hilited (selected). If
no match is found, an error message will be displayed.
If back has been checkec in the find dialog, the find again action will be
conducted backwards (from bottom to top).

If Find again is invoked, Smalled will reset the jumppoint.This  enables you to
return quickly to the point from where the last Find (again) was invoked.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.10. Replace ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The replace dialog can be used to replace textbits in the current Smalled
session. If Replace is activated the following dialog will show.

In the replace dialog, a target string and a replacement string can be entered.
With these strings, several actions can be started.

     Next: if an item has already been found and selected, Next will try to
      find the  next match from the cursor on down. If a match has been
      selected, Next will leave it alone and will  try to find the next match.
     Replace: if no item has yet been found, the replace action will first
      locate a possible match and select it. This match isn't replaced yet. If
      replace is hit again, the selected match will be replaced and Smalled
      will try to locate the next match from the cursor on down.
     All: All will replace all matches from the cursor on down, without
      prompting the user.
     Cancel: cancels the replace action and closes the replace dialog.

 If no replacement string is entered and the replace action is started, the
 target string  is deleted (when found).

 The search action the replace dialog conducts, works just like find. (In fact
 it uses the same code.) So the way it handles replaces can be modified in the
 same way Find actions can be modified.

     Global. Normally the search/replace will be conducted from the current
      cursor position. If Global is checked the search will be conducted from
      the top of the document (or the bottom is back is checked).
     Back. The search/replace will be conducted backwards. (Bottom to top)
     Case sensitive. Normally the search is case insensitive. By checking this
      box it is made case sensitive.

 The replace dialog will remember the place it is dragged to, so the next time
 replace is invoked, the dialog will check the settings in Preferences. If the
 Use last Rplace-dialog position is checked, the dialog will open at the last
 used position, if it isn't checked, the dialog will appear relative to the
 mouse-pointer. This enables you to put the replace dialog in a spot you find
 the most conveniant. This position will be remembered through sessions.
 Besides remembering the dialog window place, the target and replacement
 strings are also remebered (although not between sessions).

  Replace also sets a jumppoint. So by invoking CTRL-J, the cursor  will jump
 to the last point the cursor was before the replace.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.11. Select all ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Select all will make a selection of all the text entered in Smalled. Don't use
this option if you want to delete all text in a large file. This takes a lot of
time because the complete file contents will be transfered into the undo
buffer! Better and faster is to use the New option from the File menu.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.12. Deselect all ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Deselect all will undo the current text selection. There are two horkey's
assigned to this function, The standard OS/2 Ctrl-\ and (more convenient) the
ESC key.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.13. Goto line ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 There are several ways to go to a specific line. You may use the Goto Line
option of the Edit  menu or the CTRL-G hot-key to activate the goto line
dialog. Besides that, Goto again may also  be invoked from the popup-menu if it
is configured that way.  This dialog can be handled through use of the keyboard
or by using the mouse. You may use the up - and down arrow keys to scroll to
all the possible line nr's (it automaticly switches between 1 and the maximum
linenr and vice versa). It's also possible to click with the mouse on the
arrows  displayed with the spinbutton.

If a goto is invoked, the jumppoint will be reset to the current  line before
the jump, so that with a stroke of CTRL-J the cursor returns to the last point
before  goto was invoked.

Another (easy) way to change the current line, is to invoke active vertical
scrolling . You can grab the vertical scrollbar with the mouse and drag it. The
text will  then scroll, meanwhile the linenumber of the topmost line will be
displayed in the statusbar.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.14. Jumppoint ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled knows a so-called jumppoint. A jumppoint can be used for fast
switching  between two points in the text. If a file is opened, Smalled will
look if it is a file previously saved with Smalled. If this is the case,
Smalled will restore the last cursor position. At that moment,  the jumppoint
is initialized with a 1.

If the jumppoint hotkey CTRL-J is pressed, the cursor will jump to line 1 and
the corsor position from where the jump took off is saved as the next
jumppoint. So if CTRL-J is pressed again, the cursor will return to the place
before the jump and the jumppoint is set again to the linenr from where the
jump took off.

Setting Jumppoints :

a jumppoint can be set by invoking a jumppoint. If CTRL-J is pressed, the
cursor position from where  the jump took off will be the next jumppoint.

Find and replace will also set  jumppoints. If a find/replace is invoked and
the cursor moves to a find match, the place from where  the find was invoked is
stored as a jumppoint. So pressing CTRL-J will return to the place before  the
jumppoint. Note that the next jumppoint is the place where find found a match!

A jumppoint is also set as goto is invoked. The cursorpoint from  where goto
took off, is set as jumppoint.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5. The Options menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The options menu contains items with which the working mode of Smalled can be
changed.

     Set font
     Tab set
     Wrap
     Indent
     Use defaults
     Toggle toolbar
     Toggle statusbar
     Text info
     Preferences


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.1. Set font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Set font will start the Standard font dialog. Through this dialog a font can
be set as current font. If a font is selected, this will be displayed in the
statusbar.

You can also activate the conditional cascade after this menu-item. This will
give you the extra choice of activating the default or the alternate font as
they are set in the text preferences page.

A more elegant way is to use Drag-n-Drop. By opening the font palette in the
system setup folder, you can select a font and drop it on the edit area.
Smalled will change the current font to the dropped font. The new font will be
displayed in the statusbar. If the file is saved, this font will be remembered
when the file is reopened or  retrieved. This way of setting a font can also be
appleid to menu's and the statusbar.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.2. Use default font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 If Use default font is selected, the font set as default font in the text
preferences page. will be retrieved from the OS2.INI file and activated. This
font change is confirmed in the statusbar.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.3. Use Alternate font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 If Use Alternate font is selected, the font set as Alternate font in the text
preferences page. will be retrieved from the OS2.INI file and activated. This
font change is confirmed in the statusbar.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.4. tab set ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 If the Tab set option from the options menu is activated, a dialog will be
displayed.

In this dialog, the new tabsize in mm can be entered or the tabsize can be
restored to the default value. There are two prossible choices possible for
tabs, A tab key can generate a tab character, or a number of spaces. If the
spaces option is choosen, Smalled will intelligently apply these spaces. For
example if the current position is 14 and the space tabsize is 10, Smalled will
add 6 spaces.

The tab setting used in the edit area will also be used while  printing.
Besides that it will be saved in EA's of the file when the file is saved. This
includes the setting for spaces or tabs and the size for both of them. A
document can be set to spaces-tabs, but still contain tab characters. If this
is the case the setting in mm for the tabs will be used.

The defaults used by the tab dialog can be set in the text preferences


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.5. Wrap ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled  supports Word-wrap and Line-wrap which can be controlled through the
Wrap submenu or by the Statusbar Wrap-popup.
By using the Wrap option in the Options menu, the Wrap-toggle button or Ctrl-W,
the wrap status will toggle. This will be reflected in the wrap-area of the
statusbar.

Word-wrap mode (W-Wrap) will wrap the lines that exceed the width of the edit
area. window to the next line. Resizing the window will cause a reordering of
the text. Word-wrap doesn't add any <cr> (newline) characters to the text.
Word wrap can be used to set the page width for a print job. If word wrap is
turned on, the print routine will calculate the line width and use it while
printing.

Line-wrap mode (L-Wrap) will automaticly insert a <cr> character when a certain
linelength is reached. The linelength that is used can be set to a default
value with the  text-preferences page. If a different value needed in the
current document, it can be set by using the Set linelength dialog.
If the Line-wrap mode is turned on, the current document won't be reflowed! The
Linewrap mode only applies to the current line and will be active when typing
in text. If you like to reformat the document or parts of it, use the
text-formatting tools.

The Wrap submenu is almost identical to the statusbar-wrap-area popup. These
menu's contain the following items:

     Toggle wrap (submenu only).
     Wrap off.
     Line-wrap.
     Word-wrap.
     Default wrap.
     Set linelength

 The Toggle wrap has the effect as using the menuitem wrap in Options without
 using the submenu arrow. It toggles to the next wrap state (Wrap off, L-Wrap,
 W-Wrap).on, the setting from the text-preferences will be used.

 The default setting for wrap can be set using the Text preferences. The
 default will be used if a new file is created or a file with no smalled ea's
 attached is loaded. Besides that, the Wrap setting (as well as the linelength)
 used in a document will be stored in the file ea's when a document is saved.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.6. Linelength dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The Linelength dialog can be activated through the wrap submenu or through the
statusbar-wrap popup menu.

Through this dialog, the linelength currently used for a document can be
changed. This will affect the following parts of Smallled that rely on the
linelength setting :

     Line-wrap (if on).
     the settings in the Text-formatting-dialog.
     Action taken by Reflow.
     Action taken by Linebreak.

 The length set in this dialog will be saved in the ea's of a file when the
 document is saved.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.7. Indent ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled features an automatic indent options which can be toggled on/off. You
may use the menu , toolbar or statusbar popup to toggle this setting. The
statusbar will show the indent state for the current document.

Indenting inserts spaces or tab characters after a <cr> character is inserted
and so aligning it with the previous line. To do this the indent characters are
taken from the previous line.

Indenting is fully compatible with the Line-wrap mode This means that if a line
is indented and the Line-wrap mode will invoke a <cr>, Smalled will advance on
to the next line and add an indent. Indenting is not campatible with Word-Wrap.
The reason for this is that Word-Wrap does not insert <cr> characters in the
text.

The Indent submenu and the indent statusbar popup contain (almost) the same
features:

     Toggle indent (Indent submenu only)
     Indent on.
     Indent off.
     Default.

 The Toggle indent has the effect as using the menuitem indent in Options
 without using the submenu arrow. It toggles indent state.
 The on or off item will be checked to show if indent is currently active. By
 activating the default option, the setting from the text-preferences will be
 used.

 The default setting for indent can be set using the Text preferences.. The
 default will be used if a new file is created or a file with no smalled ea's
 attached is loaded.

 The settings for the indent state will be stored in the file's ea's when a
 document is saved.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.8. Use defaults ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled uses a number of settings regarding the way text is handled. They are
set using the Text preferences With the Use defaults menu option all the
settings as set in the text prefrences are being set for the current document.
This means the Tab, Wrap, Indent and Font settings will be set to default. Any
previous settings will be lost.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.9. Toolbar Toggle ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The toolbar can be toggled on and off in Smalled. This can be done by the
toolbar menu option in the Options menu or by hitting the CTRL-= Hotkey.

To change the default visibility of the toolbar use the Toolbar  preference
page.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.10. Statusbar ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The statusbar can be toggled on and of by the Statusbar item in the options
menu.

To change the default visibility of the statusbar use the Statusbar preference
page.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.11. Text info ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Text info supplies the user with some information about the text currently
loaded. Text info will display the number of characters and the font currently
used in the statusbar.

It also shows the number of words in the current text. If a selection is
active, the number of words in the selection will show.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12. Preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The Smalled preferences are organized in a notebook in which each page handles
a certain cluster of items. If a change is made in one of the settings
displayed in this notebook, these changes will take effect immediatly. This
means the settings for the current document will be changed!. The Smalled
preferences notebook has the following pages:

     General
     Backup
     Text
     Toolbar
     Popup
     Statusbar
     Windows
     Print
     Colors
     Dialogs
     Default dirs
     Tools

 If the dialog is closed, the page that is on top will be remebered and will be
 the default page the next time the preferences dialog is opened.

 The accelerator keys Smalled uses can also be edited. This can't be done
 through the preferences pages, but is done interactive through the Accelerator
 editor. This editor is started by holding down the ALT key while selecting a
 menu item. Changes will be saved and shown in the menu's.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.1. General preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The general area contains four logical area's.  General

     Exit button: This creates an X button in the titlebar next to the max-min
      buttons.  This is a very convenient button, however if you're using
      utilities like Xit or NPSWPS or if you're using Warp 4.0, this button is
      unnesecary.

 Open/New behaviour

     Open/New behaviour In this section the action taken on open and new can
      be modified. If these buttons are checked, New and open will start a new
      Smalled session. So the current document won't be moved from the current
      session. Open only starts a new session if the current Smalled session is
      filled and if a file is selected.

 Drag-n-Drop behaviour.

     Use Smalled drag-n-drop: It is possible to partly deactivate Smalled's
      d&d interface. If this button is flagged, the full d&d interace of
      Smalled will be active. If this isn't checked, the d&d interface for the
      main edit window is turned of. Drag-n-drop from the titlebar-icon will
      still work. Use this option if you prefer the DragText utility for
      handling the d&d for Smalled's main window or if you don't want to use
      drag-n-drop.
     Original filename on save This option makes sure the filename of the
      document currently being edited is used when a save is performed through
      Drag-n-Drop. If this isn't checked, the system default (data file) will
      be used as name.

 EA's

     Load cursor position: Smalled saves the cursor-position when a document
      is saved. If this checkbox is flagged, this position is restored when a
      file is opened.
     Load/save file settings Smalled will save a number of document attributes
      in the  Extended attributes attached to the documents file. If this
      option is checked the attributes are saved. This means a slightly longer
      load time for FAT drives. In case of HPFS drives this shouldn't make any
      difference in load time. If this option isn't checked, no document info
      is saved or loaded. This means the documents are always displayed with
      the defaults set in the Text preferences.

      Saved are:
        -  Font.
        -  Wrap mode.
        -  Indent mode.
        -  Linelength.
        -  Tabsize.
        -  Cursorposition.

      The attributes saved in a files ea's can be viewed with the File
      information option from the File menu.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.2. Backup preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Backup Preferences let you customize the complete handling of all kinds of
backups Smalled supports.

Smalled creates backups that are numbered with extensions from B01 to B99. The
original extension will be lost. For Smalled to be able to make these backups,
a backup directory has to be assigned in the Backup directory section.
If no name is entered, or an invalid name, no  backup is made.
If a backup has to be made in the directory the original resides in, simply add
a . (dot) in the backup directory entryfield. (Although for maintenance
purposes this isn't the ideal solution. A directory can be entered manually or
by using the directory selector. by pressing the small folder button after the
entryfield.

Smalled can create Backups in several cases:

     When the backup command is given
     On opening of the file (check backup on fileopen).
     When an autosave is executed (check backup on autosave). This will make a
      backup of the file before it is saved by autosave. This way a roll back
      system can be created.

 Autosave will set the default for the autosave behaviour. If on, every
 document will be automaticly saved after the given number of changes.
 (Autosave can be togled when you're working on a document.) Autosave will
 overwrite the original file you're working on! If you want to secure this
 file, use backup on autosave.

 Smalled features a separate shred function for the file you're currently
 working on. As an extra on this function you can copy the file you're removing
 to a shred-backup directory. If you want this, fill the shred-directory with a
 valid directory name and click the checkbox.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.3. text preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Text Preferences are use to set the default values for the attributes used for
text display and handling. The default values are used when:

     New is invoked
     Smalled is opened without a file
     The load/save file setting isn't checked (General preferences)
     A file without Smalled ea's is opened

 Note that every file can have it's own settings for most of the options in
 this page. They will be saved in the files extended attributes

 Fonts. Smalled can handle two default fonts which can be switched quickly.
 (Note that every file can have and remember every possible font of your
 choice!). To change the fonts click on the buttons labeled 1 or 2. The font
 under 1 is the default font that is used when a new file is opened. The font
 under 2 is an alternate font. These fonts can be recalled quicly by using the
 Default font and Alternate font menu-options.

 Wrap controls the default wrap mode as described in Wrap The Linelength will
 be used by L-warp and by some text-formatting tools.

 Indent controls the default Indent behaviour. (On or off.)

 Tab controls the way Smalled default handles tab characters. You can set the
 size a tab character can have in mm, or you can instruct Smalled to use a
 number of spaces for a tab character. See also the tab dialog for more info on
 tabs.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.4. Toolbar preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled contains a fully configurable toolbar which can be modified in the
toolbar preference page. Every change that is made will be effective
immediately. This means that if a button is added or removed, the toolbar will
instantly change.  Listbox: The largest part of this page is filled by a
listbox in which all the possible toolbar entries are mentioned. If an entry is
selected, the button will appear in the toobar, if it is deselected, it will be
removed from the toolbar. The empty spaces between logical groups of buttons
are marked as [Empty space] and can also be added or removed.

Toolbar: If desired the toolbar can also be turned off. If this chackbox is
flagged, the toolbar will be visible, if it is deselected the toolbar will
instantly disappear.

Bubble help: The Bubble help can be turned of by  default. This can also be
done by double clicking the right mouse button on the toolbar. By also checking
the Delayed button, the help bubble becomes a delayed help bubble. This means
you've got to hold your pointer above a button for +- 0.7 seconds before a
bubble appears.

Compact: This switch is used to make the toolbar more compact in size. The
buttons will move closer together. This gives small screens the upportunity to
show more buttons. Besides that You may also like it better than the normal
toolbar.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.5. Popup preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled contains a configurable context popup menu.  Items: The popup area
contains items that can be added to the context popup. It works in the same
fashion as the toolbar preferences, just select the popup items you want in the
listbox. The context popup will always contain the cut, clear, copy and paste
items. Besides that it is context sensitive. The items that need a selection to
be active, will only appear in the popup when a selection is active. The
changes made for the popup will take effect immediately.

The popup will appear if the Right Mouse Button is pressed (if this isn't
changed in the OS/2 settings) while the mousepointer is over the editarea or
the main-message area of the Statusbar.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.6. Statusbar preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled contains a configurable toolbar since version 1.40. In this
preferences page the areas that will show in the statusbar can be set. The
Statusbar can also be turned on and of. If you want to change the color or the
font of the Statusbar, simply use Drag-n-Drop of a color or a font.

Statusbar: This switch turnes the statusbar on and off. This can also be done
with the statusbar switch in the options menu.

Use icons in statusbar: This determines how the Wrap, Indent, autosave and
changed area's are displayed. If this is checked, icons are used instead of
text for these markers.

Fields: This area contains four fields in the statusbar that can be toggled.
The main message area will always be on.
If the Wrap, Indent and changed/autosave area's are turned of, the popups
attached to these area's can't be invoked. The main-popup can always be invoked
from the main-message-area.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.7. window preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The window preferences control the way multiple Smalled windows will behave.

Window behavior:

     Auto-cascade controls the behavior of the Smalled main window when more
      Smalled instances are opened (see also New Smalled session and  starting
      more Smalled instances). When the autocascade button is checked, new
      Smalled windows will be shown cascaded on the desktop. If the autocascade
      button is of, Smalled instances will be show over each other (handy for
      users with small screens).
     User window save turns automatic window save on exit off. This means, the
      last window position, the dropped on colors and fonts won't be saved.
      They will be when the menu item ***Save Window*** is activated. This way
      you can set the place and size your first Smalled window will always
      open.

 Keep desktop free for...:

 This area in the dialog has a set of spinbuttons that define area's on the
 desktop on which Smalled windows aren't drawn after a Tile, cascade, tall and
 wide actions. This way you can for example keep Smalled away from the
 WarpCenter or keep a strip with icons free.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.8. print preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The print preferences control the way a Smalled print out will look.

The dialog contains 4 areas.

     Header/Footer: The header and footer area controls the way the Header and
      footer area's are drawn on the printed text. The room the header and
      footer occupy is taken from the text area. So if it's turned of, the
      header and footer area's can be filled with text.
      The header and footers can have the following styles:
        -  None: No header/Footer will be drawn. (Even if a pageno etc is
           checked)
        -  Line: A line is drawn under/above the header/footer information
        -  Box: A box is drawn around the header/footer information.
        -  Grayed box: This is the sane as box, but the box is now filled with
           a gray background.
     Margins This area defines the margins of the print area. The print is cut
      to the right margin. So everything exceeding this area isn't printed
      (future versions will see a function reflow to print area's so that text
      will be printed inside the given margins.)
     Stamps This area defines the contents of the header and footer area.
        -  Page no.: Prints the page number. This is always aligned right to
           the page margin.
        -  Filename: Prints the current filename (always aligned left)
        -  Time: Prints the time of printing (always aligned left)
        -  Date: Prints the date of printing (always aligned left)


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.9. color preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The color preferences control the for and background colors used by Smalled.
Note. In Merlin (Warp 4) Smalled supports and remembers 256 color drops. This
means you can change the background color to any color you like when wrap 4 is
used by simply using a  color drop.  In this dialogbox two areas with colored
squares are displayed. The left area controls the forground color (text), the
right area controls the background color. By single clicking on one of the
colored squares, the color of the sample underneath the colored areas will
change to the selected color.

If Set is clicked, the choosen color combination will be made  current in
smalled. Besides that the selected color setting will be saved in the OS/2 INI
file and  become the default color for the next sessions.

The colors used in this color dialog are the 16 standard solid colors (first 16
squares). The  other nine colors depend on the setting of the system colors on
your machine. If these colors are changed (use scheme palettes), the colors in
this dialog as well the edit area may change. The next  nine colors in the
color dialog map to the following system colors.

      1 Window background
      2 Active titlebar
      3 Desktop
      4 Active window border
      5 Standard MLE background
      6 Standard text color
      7 Help background
      8 Help highlight
      9 Neutral color (Text)

 You may also change the colors of smalled by dropping colors on the smalled
 window. Every part of the smalled window (title, statusbar, menu etc.)can be
 changed using 256 colors. These colors will also be saved as default. The main
 edit area however accepts only 16 basic solid colors in Warp 3.0 and lower.
 Besides that dropping a color on the edit area will have the same effect as
 applying a color.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.10. Dialogs preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled can save the last position of the find and replace dialogs.

If the checkboxes are on, the find and replace dialogs will appear at the last
used position. If the check-boxes are off, the dialogs appear relative to the
mouse-pointer. In this case, starting a find or replace dialog from the
main-menu, the popup or the toolbar will all result in different positions on
the screen.

The open and the font dialog. are a different story. If a font or open dialog
is dragged, the position will be remembered during the session. If Smalled is
closed and opened again, the position of these dialogs will again be the left
lower corner of the screen. If the chackboxes for these dialogs are set, the
position will be remembered through sessions.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.11. Set default dir ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled features four default directories that are used by the file-dialog.
This dialog is used for opening or saving files. In this dialog a choice can be
made of one of the directories. The radiobutton in front of the default
directories will determine the directory that is used when the file-dialog is
opened.

The directories can be entered by hand, or can be quickly selected by pressing
the directory button after the entryfields. This button will start the
directory selector.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.12. Tools ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 In the tools section directories can be given for the tools that can be
started from within Smalled.

 If no path is entered, Smalled will think that all the given tools can be
found in the current path.

A path can be entered manually or by using the directory selector.

Note that SMEHTM has to be able to find it's DLL. If it can't find it, it won't
start and Smalled will show an error. Refer to the SMEHTM help for more
information.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.13. Directory selector ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The preferences pages for tools, default directories and Backup contain a
button with a folder on it. With this button, the directory selector can be
started.

This dialog will switch to the directory mentioned in the entryfield and
features an easy way to select a directory. To switch to a directory, select
this from the the listbox. To switch from drive, select a drive from the drive
selector. Cancel shuts-down the dialog without transfering the selected
directory to the preference page. OK does transfer the choosen directory to the
preference page.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6. The Tools menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The tools menu contains a number of utilities that can format the text
currently selected in a large number of ways. Besides that a number of bolt-ons
can be lauched through this menu.

     To upper.
     To lower.
     Wordcount.
     Text format.
     Stamps.
     Strip HTML.
     Smalled HTML Extensions.
     Smalled clipboard extensions
     Smalled floater


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.1. To upper ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 This menu option performs an uppercase conversion for the selected text. This
action can be undone if the selected text doesn't exceed 64 Kb.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.2. To Lower ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 This menu option performs an lowercase conversion for the selected text. This
action can be undone if the selected text doesn't exceed 64 Kb.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.3. WordCount ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Worcount counts the words in the selected text. If no text is selected,
wordcount will count the words for the full document. The result will be
displayed in the statusbar .br  The Smalled wordcount function takes the
following characters as word separators:

<space> <cr> <tab> - . , ( ) < > \ / ! = +

By using these chars as separators you might get another count from Smalled
than from other editors or wordprocessors because they might use other
word-separators.

Note: Wordcount is also invoked by Textinformation.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4. Text-format ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Text-formatting utilities are a set of actions grouped in a programmable
dialog, but which can also be used seperatly. These tools make it possible to
reformat selected parts in a document in a large number of ways.

Textformatting contains 9 different formatting tools. All these are accesable
as single action or in combinations of your choice. To use combinations, use
the Text-format dialog.

It's also possible to create formatting styles through the text-format-dialog.
This dialog gives you the possibility to create 4 custom styles which are
available in the Text-format submenu.

     Text format dialog.
     Reflow.
     Linebreak.
     Remove CR.
     Remove tabs/sp.
     Insert Indents/Unindent.
     Style 1... Style 4

 Style 1 .... Style 4 can be programmed in the text format dialog. See
 programming the styles for more information.

 If a reformatting action is imvoked on a selected text part smalled then 48 Kb
 the action can be undo by using UNDO


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4.1. Text-format dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The textformatting dialog contains 9 tools that can be used in one action to
reformat the selected text. The dialog is build around three different groups
that perform distinctive tasks during reformatting.
To perform a function on the selected text, you've got to check this function
and hit OK. It is advised to experiment with this dialog to understand it's
power.

On the bottom of the dialog a set of extra buttons is added. These can be used
to preprogram the textformatting styles.

The text-format functions are intelligent enough to be combined. Smalled will
handle them in a sequence that will secure a problemless reflow of text. At the
end of this page the precedence of the several format options is mentioned.

Reflow text. This group contains the items that will reflow the selected text.

     Remove Returns: This function will remove all the single <cr> characters
      from the selected text. If a double <cr> is encountered, they will be
      left alone. This way paragraphs will be preserved when performing this
      action. This function can a.o. be used to convert a line-wrapped document
      to a word-wrapped document.
     Remove multiple spaces/tabs This function removes all multiple spaces and
      tabs or combinations and replaces it with a space or a tab (whatever is
      last in the replaced block).
     Indent This function will indent the selected text with the indent shown
      in the first line of the selected text. So for this function to work you
      first have to indent a line and then select and proces it.
     Unindent is the opposite of indent. You can select either Indent or
      unindent. Unindent Will unindent the selected text. For this it
      calculates the unindent text from the first line in the selection. So if
      the first line in the selection starts with 10 spaces and only 4 of the,
      are selected, the whole selected block will be unindented by 4 spaces. So
      besides doing full indents (select the whole first line) it's also
      possible to do partial unindents.
     Linebreak at: This function searches for the last tab or space within the
      given linelength and replaces this with a <cr>. if there is no space or
      tab within the given scope, the <cr>is entered on the exact position
      given in the dialog.

 Text This group has two entries that actually modify the text. It will
 probably see most of it's use by formatting mail text.

     Remove at linestart This removes a string of characters that is currently
      showing at the start of the selected lines. In most cases this will be
      used to remove mail markers like >.
     Insert at linestart This inserts a new 'flag' at the linestart. This
      insertion will be performaed after the text is formatted (although for
      linebreak the length of the insertion string is included). Just like the
      previous function, this one will most likely be used in mail formatting.

 Tabs The two entries in this group will perform a conversion from tabs to
 spaces and vice versa. Both obtions are mutually exclusive.

     Tabs to spaces This option converts a tab to a given number spaces.
     Spaces to tabs This option converts a given number of spaces to one tab
      character.

 Performing a text-format with several options checked has a certain
 intelligence. Smalled will perform these functions with a certain precedence
 and exclude functions if they are impossible to perform. (For example an
 indent that's bigger than the linelength for a linebreak.) Besides that the
 linebreak will recalculate the linelength according to indents and insert at
 linestart etc.

 Smalled will perform the formatting functions with the following presedence.

     Unindent
     Remove Multiple spaces/tabs
     Remove at linestart
     Remove CR
     Tab to spaces (indent will stay intact)
     spaces to Tab (indent will stay intact)
     Linebreak
     Insert chars at linestart
     Insert indents

 The textformatting dialog also has some intelligence in handling the input.
 You don't have to check the checkboxes for insert/remove. They are automaticly
 set when text is entered. If the field is emptied, the checkboxes are
 automaticly undone. The same kind of behaviour is added for the tab-space
 conversion section.

 On the bottom of the dialog a set of extra buttons is added. These can be used
 to program the textformmatting styles. See programming the styles for more
 information.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4.2. Programming the styles ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled features four preprogrammable text formatting styles. A style is a
combination of tools filled in in the textformatting dialog. This way you can
reformat text with just a single action.

To create a style, call the textformat dialog and fill in the formatting tools
as you would like them for a particular style. Next select a number from 1...4
from the spinbutton. This will define the slot (Style 1... Style 4) in which
this combination is saved. Press save to save the current combination.

If you like to add an optional name to your styles, fill it in, in style name
the entrybox. After saving the style, the name will be used in the
tools->textformat menu.

Style can be easily changed. To do this call up the textformat dialog and press
one of the buttons 1..4 on the bottom of the dialog. This will recall the style
settings saved. You can modify the settings or the name and save it again.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4.3. Reflow ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Reflow can only be invoked if there is a text selection active.

Reflow Will invoke all the formatting options in the reflow text group of the
The  Text format dialog. This means the functions, Remove CR, Remove multiple
tabs/spaces, Linebreak and insert indent will be performad at once. As
linelength the current linelength will be used.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4.4. Linebreak ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Linebreak can only be invoked if there is a text selection active. It can be
activated by the Linebreak option from the text-format submenu or by pressing
the Ctrl-L hot-key.

Linebreak will enter <cr> characters at the linelength for the current
document. This linelength can be changed by using the Linelength dialog..


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4.5. Remove CR ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Remove CR can only be invoked if there is a text selection active. It can be
activated from the Text-format submenu or by pressing the Ctrl-Backspace
hot-key.

Remove CR will remove the <cr> (return) characters  from the selected text. If
a double <cr> is encountered, it will be left in place. This way Paragraph's
are preserved.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4.6. Remove Tabs/Sp ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Remove Tabs/Sp can only be invoked if there is a text selection active. It can
be invoked through the Text-format submenu or by pressing the Ctrl-Space
hotkey.

Remove tabs/sp removes all multiple spaces and tabs or combinations and
replaces it with a space or a tab (whatever is last in the replaced block).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4.7. Insert indents ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Indenting or unindenting can only be invoked if there is a text selection
active.

Indent will insert indents in the selected text with the indent shown in the
first line of the selected text. So for this function to work you first have to
indent a line and then select and proces it. Only the selected part of the
indent text will be used to indent the selection. So if the first line is
indented by 2 tabs and only 1 of them is selected, the selected text get's
indented by one tab.

Unindent is the opposite of indent. You can select either Indent or unindent.
Unindent Will unindent the selected text. For this it calculates the unindent
text from the first line in the selection. So if the first line in the
selection starts with 10 spaces and only 4 of the, are selected, the whole
selected block will be unindented by 4 spaces. So besides doing full indents
(select the whole first line) it's also possible to do partial unindents.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4.8. Style 1 ... Style 4 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled enables you to create your own text-formatting styles. Four styles can
be stored. These are known as style 1... Style 4 when no name is given to them.

Before these styles work they have to be programmed. See programming the styles
and Textfomatting for more information.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.5. Stamps ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Stamps are a quick way to insert date, time and filename information into your
document. Smalled will use the format preferences for time and date as you set
them for your desktop.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.6. Strip HTML ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 This function will strip all HTML code from the entire text. If a selection is
active, only the selected text is stripped. This action can be undone by using
Undo .

Besides the fact that all HTML codes between <  > are stripped, the codes like
&aUmlaut. are also stripped. The unaccented letter is showed inplace of the
&xxx.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7. Smalled HTML Extensions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 This options starts a separate product that can work together with Smalled and
which is used to create HTML documents.

By the time of the release of this version of Smalled (1.40) the 1.00 version
of the Smalled HTML extensions is already out there. It can be fetched as
SMEHTM10.ZIP from Hobbes or the BMT sites. If you register Smalled, SMEHTM can
be registered for only an additional $7. This means that Smalled +SMEHTM will
cost $25.

(More about the Smalled HTML Extensions can be found in the Other Bianchi
software products section of this help.)

BTW. For those of you who've already registered SMEHTM (thanks), the
registration codes will change with the next release of SMEHTM. This because
some asshole cracked the SMEHTM registration codes and is distributing them
freely over Russian BBSes. I don't know why he finds this $7 application
important enough to crack. I loath this kind of piracy (It will kill
inexpensive shareware) and and I see no other way to fight it than to bother
you with a redistribution of new codes, sorry for this
Eric


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.8. Smalled Clipboard Extensions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The Smalled clipboard extensions are a separate Bianchi software product. But
it is distributed with Smalled. If your a registered Smalled user, you're also
a registers Clipboard extensions user.

The Smalled clipboard extensions give you 10 virtual clipboards to store text
in. It's great for remembering stuff when programming or writing Web pages.

(More about the Smalled Clipboard Extensions can be found in the Other Bianchi
software products section of this help.)


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.9. Smalled floater ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled features a small separate program that functions as a floating
toolbar. This floater can be started from within Smalled.

The Smalled floater is configurable and can work with multiple Smalled
sessions. It simply acts on the one on top. The floater is an alternative for
the toolbar, with as extra that it can start a Smalled session on it's own.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7. The windows menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 It is possible to have more than one Smalled session active. Better yet,
Smalled is created to have more than one session active. You can drag-n-drop
between Smalled sessions and there are a number of ways to start new Smalled
sessions from Smalled (see also multiple Smalled instances).

The windows menu contains items that will handle multiple Smalled sessions for
you, or handle other window related things.

     Tile.
     Cascade.
     Tall.
     Wide.
     Next.
     Previous.
     Close all.
     Save-n-exit all.
     Restore minimized.
     New smalled session.
     Save window.

 The way a number of items in this menu work can be modified in the window
 preferences page of the Smalled preferences.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.1. Tile ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Tile will tile the Smalled sessions, that are not minimized, on the desktop.
Smalled will use the whole desktop exept for the free area's defined in the
window preferences page.

Tile will only work if there is more than one Smalled session open.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.2. Cascade ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Cascade performs a cascade action with all the open Smalled windows that are
not minimized. The active Smalled window will end up on top.

While cascading the Smalled windows, the free area's defined in the window
preferences page are honored.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.3. Tall ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Tall stretches the current Smalled window verically so that the height of the
Smalled window is maximal for your screen.

Tall is a toggle, so a window can also be untalled by wich it gets it's
original heigth back.

Tall will honor the top and bottom free area's defined in the window
preferences page.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.4. Wide ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Wide stretches the current Smalled window horizontally so that the width of
the Smalled window is maximal for your screen.

Wide is a toggle, so a window can also be unwided by wich it gets it's original
width back.

Wide will honor the left and rigth free area's defined in the window
preferences page.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.5. Next ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Next selects the next Smalled window in the Z-order.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.6. Previous ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Previous selects the previous Smalled window in the Z-order.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.7. Close all ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Close all invokes an exit in all smalled sessions. This will cause all Smalled
sessions to close.

If one of these sessions contains a chenged file that isn't saved yet, that
session will be brought to the top. You can decide to save the file, abort the
close action for that Smalled instance, or to discard the changes and close the
session.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.8. Save-n-Exit all ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Save-n-Exit all saves the contents of all open Smalled sessions and closes
them.

If a session contains an untitled.fil (non saved contents), that session will
be brought to the top and you will be asked a name for this file, or to discard
the changes.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.9. Restore minimized ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Restore minimized restores all the minimized Smalled sessions to their
original size.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.10. New Smalled session ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 It is possible to invoke a new instance from Smalled from the tools menu. The
new Smalled instance will be placed directly over the current Smalled session,
or it will be cascaded depending on the setting in the  general preferences.
Smalled will locate it's path automaticly, so the Smalled exe file doesn't have
to reside in the Path.

There are other ways to start multiple Smalled sessions. (These will also be
autocascaded if the checkbox in the general page is checked). See Start
multiple Smalled instances for more info about creating a Smalled object.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7.11. Save window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Save window is only availbale when the 'user window save' is checked in the
window preferences page. This will cause Smalled not to save all the window
settings like size, place and presentation parameters when it is closed. To
save these settings you must use Save window.

This way you can make sure Smalled always opens on the same spot on your
desktop.

Note: If you change the color of the edit window, or the statusbar, or change
the font of the statusbar or the menubar. You must use save window to preserve
these settings if 'user window save' is on.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.8. The context popup menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled has a context sensitive popup menu that will be activated as the mouse
button2 is clicked on the edit area or on the main-message area of the
statusbar. This popup will contain the most used edit functions, Cut, Paste,
Copy and Clear.

From these items the popup will show only those items that can be activated. So
if text is selected,  the popup will at least show the functions Copy, Clear
and Cut. If no text is selected, those options  won't show. For the paste
option the clipboard is checked. If it cantains valid data, the paste options
will be displayed.

If no popup is showing on a right mouse click, there probably isn't any text
selected and the clipboard will be empty.

The functionality of the context popup is largely expanded in version 1.00.
Since this version a number of actions can be added to the popup. Besides the
Copy, Cut, Paste and Clear functions, Open, Save, Save as, copy to, Print,
Find, Find again, Replace, Goto and Undo can be added. To set your choice of
popup functions, use the Preferences dialog.

NOTE: There is a great package to enhance the desktop. It's called NPSWPS
(check it out). However since version 1.81 of this package there is an
incompatibility with Smalled. Having the NPSWPS Entry Field Menu enabled causes
Smalled's context popup to disappear. If you want to use Smalled.s popup
instead of NPSWPS's popup, you should disable the Entry File Menu in NPSWPS.
This option can be found under the OTHERS tab in the NPSWPS package. Note, the
main-popup can always be invoked from the main-message area of the statusbar!


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.9. Accelerator editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled has a default set of Accelerator keys (also called hotkeys). to
quickly execute the items in the menu's.

With the Accelerator editor you can assign any accelerator key combination of
your choice to every menuitem Smalled has. The changes made will be saved and
shown in the Smalled menu's. To start the Smalled Accelerator editor, hold down
the ALT key and click on the menu (or toolbar icon) you like to change. This
will start the following dialog:

The editor will show the current Accelerator setting for the menu-item that is
being edited. If no information is showing in the Accelerator box, no
Accelerator key is present for the current menu-item.

For the key field you can use any key you like. The accelerator is automaticly
created for upper and lowercase characters, So creating an accelerator for
CTRL-u and CTRL-U is not neccesary. If you want to use an virtual key (ESC, F1,
F2...., INS, Del, Tab, etc.) use the dropdown list attached to the key field to
select such a key.

If you try to set a key that already exist, A beep will sound  and the dialog
won't disappear after the SET action.

Deleting a key can be done by deleting everything in the Key field and using
SET.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. About Smalled ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled is a 32 bit multi-threaded PM applet that is written in Borland C++
2.0. A must in the development of Smalled was to try to incorporate at least
all the goodies OS/2 has to offer. Smalled features:

     Toolbar with Bubble-help
     Statusbar
     Complete Drag-n-Drop support
     Clipboard support
     INI Support (Saving size, place, Etc.)
     EA's (Saving fonts, wrap, indent, tab-size)
     WYSIWYG Printing
     Multi-threading
     ATM support
     Context popup

 Just like other Bianchi Software products, Smalled was created out of a need
 to learn and because I needed the application I was creating. Initialy Smalled
 was a spinoff from this process, but it has evolved beyond that. This program
 is the result of the user reactions I've got on earlier (free) versions of
 Smalled and on the articles written in EDM/2 about it's development. A lot of
 people have asked for features and encouraged me to expand this program. It
 has taken so much out of my spare-time (and other resources) that I've decided
 to make it (cheap) shareware so some of my expenses may become covered.

 Most of the programming ins and outs are published in EDM/2.  Three articles
 about buidling an editor version 3-4, 3-6 and 3-9. One article in simple
 buttonbars  (EDM/2 issue 3-8) and bubble-help (issue 3-10). Where building
 Confed learned me the basics,  Smalled learned me how to handle EA's,
 multi-threaded printing, drag-n-drop and device contexts.

 SMEHTM

The Smalled HTML Extensions can be uploaded as SMEHTM11.ZIP from the Hobbes,
the BMT Micro and other anonymous OS/2 sites.

SMEHTM can work with Smalled, E.exe and other MLE based editors and turn them
into dedicated HTML editors. It acts as a small notebook that floats on-top and
that can be used to insert HTML tags into the text that is being edited It
supports a very large part of the HTML code set. Besides that, a version for
INF editing being prepared. Here is a screenshot of the bitmapped pagetags to
give an impression.

Registering SMEHTM costs 15$. However, if it's registered with Smalled, the
total package is 25$. This means a discount of 7$ on SMEHTM.

SmeClp

The Smalled Clipboard Extensions are an extension to the OS/2 (and Win-OS/2)
clipboard. SmeClp will extend the number of switchable clipboards to 10. Every
clipboard  can be filled using a number of apend modes. Besides that, the
clipboard contents are fully editable. In essence it is written as an add on to
Smalled. However, it can be used with all Os/2 and Win-OS/2 applications.

SmeClp is free for registered Smalled users. If you're not a registered Smalled
user,you can register SmeClp seperately for the price of $10. You can get
SmeClp as part of the Smalled 2.00 package or separate as SMECLP10.ZIP from the
Hobbes, BMTMicro or other anonymous sites.

Confed

Confed, currently in version 0.8, is a config.sys editor. On the outside it has
the same look and feel  of Smalled. This application makes editing/creating the
config.sys real easy. It features custom edit  controls for the config
commands, on-line help for the config.sys, and most of the features of  Smalled
like Multithreading, direct manipulation, button-bar, etc. Check it out.

Confedxx.zip can be found on several OS/2 sites like ftp.cdrom.com and Hobbes.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. EDM/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 EDM/2 is a publication by developers for developers and is published by IQPac
Inc.  EDM/2 is largely the work of three people. Editor-in-chief Larry Salomon
Jr., Associate editor  Carsten Whimster and Contributing editor Gordon
Zeglinski. Besides the columns these three add there  are articles written by
independent authors. EDM/2 is out there for three years now and is a very  high
standard publication. For me it was one of the most used sources for example
code and explanations  while building Smalled and the other OS/2 projects I do.
If you're working on a OS/2 project now or  if you're interested how Smalled
was done, check out EDM/2, you won't be disappointed!

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.1. Open a file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Opening a file can be done in three different ways.

      - Using file-menu open (with the filehistory)
      - Dropping a file object on the Smalled icon
      - Dropping a file object on the Smalled edit area.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.2. Save a font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The font selected by a document will be saved in the Extended attributes of a
file, as this file is saved.

The default font (font used when a new file is created or a file without
smalled ea's is opened) can be set if the Save button is invoked on the
Font-Dialog. This dialog is started if the set-font option is choosen from the
options-menu or from the button-bar.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.3. Print the document ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Printing the current document can be done by selecting the Print option of the
File menu or by selecting the print button  . If a selection has to be printed
the "print selected" checkbutton must be flagged.

Another way is to drag the titlebar icon to the printer if the whole text has
to be printed. If a selection has to be printed the selection can be dragged to
the printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.4. File history ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The file-history in Smalled is attached to the Standard file dialog This way
it can be used not only for opening a file but also for insert file, save as
and copy to. The file-history is attached to a drop-down list that is attached
to the file-name entry-field, This list can be operated in the same way a drive
can be selected. The cursor-down may be used to circle through the entries or
the button on the right of the entry-field can be invoked to show the entire
list.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Glossary / What is ... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The following (technical) terms which may need further explanation are used in
this help document.

     OS/2
     Clipboard
     Presentation parameters
     Drag-n-drop
     Multithreading
     Direct manipulation
     ATM fonts
     Extended attributes
     Standard file dialog
     Standard font dialog
     File-history
     Bubble-help
     DragText
     Text-format


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.1. Multithreading ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Multithreading is the capability of OS/2 to perform more than one task at once
for one proces. For example you can access the help of this applet, and in the
meantime load, save or print a file.  Both actions are taking place at the same
time . It's like walking and chewing gum at the same time. It's  NOT like
Windows, which takes a step, performs a chew, takes a step, etc.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.2. IBM OS/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 OS/2 is a registered trademark of International Business Machines. It's the
wonderfull operating system you are using at the moment.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.3. Presentation parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Presentation Parameters are a set of properties which are attached to every
OS/2 control. These properties command the way a control looks. The most common
use is changing fonts and colors by dropping them on a  control using Direct
manipulation.

If you want to change fonts or colors, you first have to open a font-palette,
color-palette or scheme-palette from the system setup folder.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.4. Clipboard ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The clipboard provides a temporary storage area for a piece of text, a bitmap
or a metafile. In Smalled the only interresting part is text. It will enable
you to move data within Smalled or share data with other applications.

The most common operations on the clipboard are:

      Cut
      Copy
      Paste

 The data in the clipboard is maintained in memory only.  Clipboard data is
 lost when the computer is turned off.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.5. Direct manipulation. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 One of the most attractive features of the OS/2 desktop is the possibility to
drag objects and drop  them on another object and thus start an action
involving those two objects. This is called direct manipulation. In Smalled
direct manipulation is completely supported. Smalled even understands the
DragText rendering method. Besides that it's  behaviour can be customized (see
general preferences).If Smalled is on the  drag-site, selected text can be
dragged by starting a drag from anywhere on the edit-area as long as there  is
a block of selected text. If the whole text has to be dragged, the drag can be
started from the title-bar icon.

The following actions can be invoked in Smalled by using Drag-n-drop:

     Opening a file
     Saving a file
     Saving selected text
     Copy and move of text
     Shredding text / invoking new
     Printing
     Changing Presentation parameters
     Working with DragText

 A drag can be aborted by using the ESC key or the F1 (help) key. If F1 is
 invoked, this help-page  will be displayed.

 WARNING: The use of drag-n-drop can randomly distort bitmaps and icons on your
 system if you're using OS/2 2.xx or Warp 3.0. This isn't a Smalled bug, it's a
 bug in OS/2 and it isn't fatal because everything will work just fine. However
 it's very anoying. IBM fixed this bug in Fixpack 8. So if you're experiencing
 trouble of this kind, just install fixpack 8 or higher.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.6. DragText. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 DragText is a utility written by Rich Walsh. This utility makes it possible to
use d&d from virtualy every OS/2 control. Besides that DragText has a lot of
extra's and it is an extremely well behaving utility. Smalled understands the
rendering method used by DragText, so if DragText is installed it can be used
seamlessly with Smalled. Drags are possible from Smalled to DragText supported
applications and vice versa.

Besides being able to drag text to every possible entryfield, DT also supports
drags from *every* OS/2 window. Besides that DT has the following extra's :

     drop text on a WPS folder to create a file whose name is based on the
      first few words of the text.  You can drop one of these DragText files on
      any supported window to insert the text.
     if the text you drop on the WPS is a URL, DragText will create a
      WebExplorer Url object.  The object's title will be taken from the URL,
      minus unnecessary words like "http://", "www", etc.
     press Alt as you drop any file on a multiline entryfield to insert its
      contents.
     press Alt as you drop a folder on a multiline entryfield to insert a
      formatted listing of the directory's files.  You can configure the
      formatting any way you want;  you can even use it to write cmd files.
     because DT can create files, you can drop text on many programs that
      won't accept dragged text but will accept a file.
     since DT now does so many things, it uses 6 different icons to show you
      what will happen when you drop your text.  You *must* have Fixpack 8 or
      later installed;  if you don't, this feature will be disabled to prevent
      your system from crashing.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.7. Opening a file through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 A file can be opened through drag-n-drop in several ways.

- If a file object is dropped on the Smalled icon, Smalled is started and the
file-object dropped on the Smalled icon is opened.

- A file object can be dropped on the Smalled edit area when Smalled is already
open. If Smalled doesn't contain text, the file is simply opened. If Smalled
contains text, the text of the dropped object will be inserted at the point it
is dropped. The complete dropped text will be selected after the drop.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.8. Saving a file through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Saving text through drag-n-drop is one of the nicest features of Smalled.
Saving can simply be achieved by dragging the titlebar-icon or a text selection
to the place where you want the text to be saved. the WPS will create a
data-file at the drop point containing the complete text currently in Smalled
or in the selection.

In the preferences dialog, you can set the way Smalled will set the filename.
The possibilities are: The original filename (the one that's in the titlebar)
is used for the save action or the system default [data file] is used. You
don't have to worry about duplicates or overwriting a file, the filesystem
simply numberes the file if it has the same name as an already existing file.

Future releases may have a dialog for customizing the drop-name.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.9. Saving selected text through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 If the selected text has to be saved, simply start a drag operation from
anywhere on the edit area as long as a selection is active. You may drag the
selection to any place you like. The selection will be saved as data-file on
the place you drop it.

In the preferences dialog, you can set the way Smalled will set the filename.
The possibilities are: The original filename (the one that's in the titlebar)
is used for the save action or the system default [data file] is used. You
don't have to worry about duplicates or overwriting a file, the filesystem
simply numberes the file if it has the same name as an already existing file.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.10. Copy and Move text through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Copying and moving text through drag and drop is supported in one instance of
Smalled or between instances of Smalled (or to EPM) and to all  DragText
supported controls and applications that understand the native DRM_OS2FILE
rendering format.
A drag can be started from anywhere in the edit area as long as a selection is
active. The dragged text will be inserted at the drop point. If the SHIFT key
is pressed during the drag, a move is assumed. If this is the case, the dragged
selection will be deleted after the drop.

After the drop, the complete text will be selected.

If a drag has to be discarded, ESC will do the trick.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.11. Shredding text / invoking new through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Shredding (deleting) text is the same as invoking a clear on the selected text
with the difference that the selected text is dropped on the shredder. After a
shred operation, the deleted text can be retrieved by invoking an undo.

It's also possible to delete the whole text. In this case the titlebar-icon
must be dragged to the shredder. If this is done, Smalled will act just as if a
New operation is invoked.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.12. Printing through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 To print the complete contents of Smalled, the titlebar-icon has to be dragged
to the printer. If this is done, a normal print operation is started. In this
print action the dropped on printer is  used.

In Smalled it's also possible to print a selection. Simply start a drag from
anywhere on the  edit area (as long as a selection is active) and drop this
selection on the printer. The currently selected text will be printed using the
font, tab, etc. currently in use for that text in Smalled.

If a drag operation has to be discarded, use ESC.

Printing in Smalled through drag and drop will open a small dialog in which a
slider and a stop button are displayed. The slider shows the progress that
Smalled is making. The Stop button will enable you to abort the printjob.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.13. Changing Presentation parameters through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 You can change the color of any part of the Smalled main window (except the
smart icons) by dropping a color on it. To do this, open the system setup
folder and start the color palette. Choose a color and drop it on the part of
your choice For example one of the scrollbars. They will change color. If you
exit the application, the change will be remembered.

In a simmilar way, the Fonts can be changed. Start the font palette and pick a
font. Drop it on the menubar or on the edit area. The font will change. Changes
will be saved.

You can change both color and font in a single action by dropping a scheme
palette on Smalled. The scheme palette is also found in the system setup
folder.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.14. Working with DragText ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Many people use Rich Walsh's DragText package. This nice package can be  used
with Smalled. Smalled understands the rendering methods used by DragText. This
means that Smalled can  be used directly with no further changes with DT. You
may drag objects from DT supported controls or drag to  DT supported controls.
Smalled can even be modified so that DT takes control over the d&d in the
Smalled edit window (see General preferences).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.15. ATM fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The most fonts OS/2 uses are Adobe Type Manager fonts. These fonts are
scalable in all directions and are supported by Smalled. There are a lot of ATM
fonts that are freeware. They can be installed in OS/2. All the ATM fonts
installed in OS/2 can be used in Smalled.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.16. Extended attributes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 In DOS and Windows, files only have 4 attributes (actually it's 6). Files can
be hidden, Read only, System or archived. OS/2 however can attach more
information (attributes) to a file. This information is known as the extended
attributes. They can have a maximum size of 64Kb for each file!

The creation date and the last access date are examples of extended attributes.
More extended attributes can be found in the settings notebook of a file. Most
common are:

      - History
      - Comment
      - Keywords
      - Icon
      - long name

 Besides these standard extended attributes OS/2 has the ability to use custom
 EA's. Smalled uses four custom EA's to store the used font, the wrap setting,
 the tab-size and the last used cursor position. The beauty of this approach is
 that the file contents are pure ASCII and can be handled as such by every
 other application.

 Saving in the extended attributes will only be done if this is needed. If you
 build a document using only the defaults and you don't adjust the font, tab,
 indent or wrap, this info isn't saved. The next time you use the document, the
 defaults are used.

 Future releases of Smalled will probably see more EA access.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.17. Standard file dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The Standard file dialog is the standard dialog OS/2 provides for disk access
actions. It enables you to change directories and drives and select a filename
from a listbox. The entered filename will be used to open, save, save as, copy
to or insert-files. In Smalled this dialog is modified to support some more
functions. The form of the dialog as used in Warp 4 or Warp 3 will be left
intact. As you can see in the bitmap some extra controls are added.  Hint: Use
the default directory preferences in the options menu to set the directories
used by the open, save as, insert file and copy to actions.

The open dialog used in Smalled has some nice extra's. It has three major
extra's. It contains a file history a file find utility and a fast switch for
deafult directories.

The file entry field contains a drop down list with the 16 last used files.
Even files that are opened or saved through drag and drop are added to the
list. The list can be activated by using the small button on the right site of
the entryfield (just like the drive list), or the cursor keys can be used to
walk  through the entries one by one.

The fileopen dialog is also modified so it can be used to find a file anywhere
on the system. If you change the contents of the 'Open filename:' entryfield,
the Search button will become available. If search is pressed, Smalled will
search the drive mentioned in the 'Drive:' field for the file entered. The
search will be conducted recursively from the directory active in 'Directory'.
So if the  d:\files\smalled directory is current in the open-dialog. All
directories under this directory  will be searched. The filename entered may
contain the wildcards * and ?.

The Smalled open dialog also supports other ways of finding a file (since
version 1.10). You may also  enter a complete path with wildcards. If a
complete filepath is entered and a search is conducted, all the subdirectories
of the path entered are searched for the file mask. If you only want to search
the entered directory, simply press return after entering the filemask (! Not
the search button) and the File:  listbox will show all the files in the
entered directory. If a filemask with only the driveletter is entered, the
whole drive is searched from the root.

If the search is started, the 'File:' listbox will change to 'Found:'. The
files that  match the query will be displayed in that listbox. If one is
selected it will be displayed in the  'Open filename:' entryfield. If OK is
pressed, this file will be opened. If Cancel is pressed,  the search will be
aborted and the found listbox will dissapear. There is a quicker way to open a
found file. Just double-click on one of the found names and Smalled will open
it.

If the search is conducted in a drive/directory combination isn't of your
liking, just change them and press search again. The search currently underway
will be aborted and a new search will be started.

If no matching files were found, a message stating so will be displayed in the
'Found:' listbox.

The dialog also contains the buttons 1, 2, 3 and L. These buttons will activate
the directory set in the default directory preferences. The directory activated
as default is also determined in these preferences. The buttons switch fast to
the chossen dorectories, or the last used directory.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.18. Standard font dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The standard font dialog is provided by OS/2 for a consistant way of selecting
fonts. It enables you to select a font, select its attributes and style and set
its point-size. An example of the selected font will be shown in the dialog.
Smalled uses a slightly modified version of thsi dialog to make a difference
between saving a font as default and applying one.  If the save buton is
pressed, the font of the text currently loaded is changed and the font is saved
as the default. If apply is pressed, the font used in the text loaded is
changed. This font is saved with the file in the ea's as the file is saved.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14. Limitations of Smalled ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 This help entry is added in version 0.9. It is added to point out to users
what can and can't be done with Smalled. With the release of Smalled 0.95 some
of these items have become possible. Most noticeble active scrolling and color
changing.

Smalled is based on the MLE control found in OS/2. As such it can be seen as a
shell which makes it possible to acces this control easily. The MLE control
(Multi Line Edit) can be found in more places in OS/2, for example in the third
page of the file tag of the settings notebook. In this page comments etc. can
be added. The control used to do this is the MLE control. MLE was intended to
edit small pieces of text, typically 4kb. I found it was able to handle very
large amounts of text (several MB's), although performance may suffer as if you
try this.  If you use Smalled you have to live with the limitations of the MLE
control until I find time to write my own MLE control which (of course) won't
suffer from these limitations, or until I find a work around.

The following items limit the use of smalled.

      Load and save performance
      64Kb clipboard support

 If you have any comments beside these items please let me know.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14.1. Load and save performance ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 In smalled loading (large) files is slow while saving the files is fast. How
come? The MLE control was intended to handle small amounts of text. It was
never designed to be a full sized editor. So this control is limited to 64Kb of
text. Smalled is capable to handle larger files because there is a way around
this, load and save the files in chunks of 64 Kb.

When saving a file, the MLE control releases the 64 Kb chunks very fast so
saving is fast. It seems even faster because it's handled multi threaded.

Loading a (large) file is slow because MLE has to prepare a 64 Kb chunk of
memory before loading 64 Kb of text. When it does this MLE displayes the clock
pointer. With Every consecutive 64 Kb block that has to be prepared the prepare
time grows. This makes loading slow and nothing can be done to speed it up
(Until I write my own MLE control). If you're using files up to +- 300 Kb you
shouldn't even notice this. Files of 1 Mb and larger suffer greatly from this
slowing down.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14.2. 64Kb clipboard support ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 The MLE control also handles clipboard support. With one message the selected
text is copied to the clipboard. This has one limitation, the maximum amount of
text that the MLE can copy to the clipboard is 64Kb. This is because the MLE
control is limited to handling 64 Kb of text. I haven't found a way around
this. You will be noticed if you try to cut, copy or paste more then 64 Kb.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 15. Keys help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 As with all good applications there are some `hot keys` defined which will
make life a little easier. Also a few mouse actions are defined as shortcuts.

Smalled has a nice extra here, Accelerator editor. This editor is started by
holding down the ALT key while selecting a menu item. Changes will be saved and
shown in the menu's.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Getting help fast ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 Smalled is designed with virtually all the OS/2 possiblities on board. So it
is possible to jump to a particular help page fast.

Help for the toolbar buttons can be obtained by pressing the button and holding
the mousekey down. If F1 is pressed while the mousebutton is held down, the
help page for the particular button action is displayed. Another quick way to
obtain help for buttons is to turn on Bubblehelp.

Help for menu items can be obtained in the same fashion. Just hold down the
mousekey on a selected menu or menuitem and press the F1 key.

Help dialogs can be obtained by the help buttons displayed on the dialogs or by
pressing F1.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Multiple Smalled instances ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 You may start Smalled more then once. You can even use Direct manipulation
between the Smalled instances. The easiest way to start multiple instances is
to create a new program object anywhere you like from the templates folder and
set Smalled.exe as the file to be executed.
The next step is setting the "Object open behaviour" in the window tab. If this
is set to "Create new window", a new instance of Smalled is started each time
the smalled program icon is clicked.

Multiple Smalled instances can also be created from within the Smalled
interface. This can be done with Open or New depending on the settings in the
general preferences page. Besides that a new Smalled session can always be
started from the tools menu.

Note that mutiple Smalled instances will auto-cascade if the autocascade
checkbox is set in the general preferences page.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18. Bubble-help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 In version 0.96 bubble help is included. When bubble-help is activated, a
small window appears under a toolbar button when you mouse over it. This window
contains a short discription concerning the function of the button currently
under the mouse pointer.

This function is considered usefull for first time users. In the long run these
bubbles tend to irritate. So the default for bubble-help is off! To activate
bubble-help doubleclick the mousebutton2 on the toolbar. If bubblehelp is
turned on it will be mentioned in the statusbar. To turn bubblehelp off
doubleclick again on the toolbar.
