- This is PopMe! Version 3.0
- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
- PopMe! is a shareware application from Haus Of Maus, Ltd.
- Latest news, free updates and full purchase information is
- always available at www.hausofmaus.com
-
- What is PopMe!?
- +++++++++++++++
-
- PopMe! is a HackMaster extension which lets you create, view and
- edit BugMe! notes, via a simple key stroke. PopMe! pops up in its
- own 'scribble pad' window - letting you make or read a note in the
- middle of using another application. When you're done with PopMe!
- just close it, and you're back to the application you came from.
- PopMe! lets you scribble notes without losing track of where you
- were. (You can learn more about BugMe! at www.hausofmaus.com)
-
- Trying PopMe!
- +++++++++++++
- To try PopMe! out, you can download a trial version for free.
- PopMe! needs BugMe! to work - the PopMe! download contains a
- trial copy of BugMe! If you are already a BugMe! user, then use
- the BugMe! you already have.
-
- PopMe! needs to be run from inside HackMaster (a HackMaster trial
- is also included in the PopMe! distribution). After installing
- popme!.prc, start HackMaster and tap the checkbox beside the
- PopMe! listing.
-
- Using PopMe!
- ++++++++++++
- First you need to configure the key stroke that will launch PopMe!
- - you do this by launching Hackmaster and tapping the small '+'
- next to PopMe!'s listing. This launches the PopMe! preference
- panel, where you can choose the stroke from a popup list.
-
- To run PopMe! you just need to enter the key stroke you set in
- the preferences, this causes PopMe! to pop up over the
- application you're currently running. PopMe! displays the BugMe!
- page you were last using, and allows you to read or change its
- content. If your copy of BugMe! is registered, then PopMe! will
- allow you to add new pages to your set of BugMe! notes.
-
- The keystroke has confused some people - what it means, for example,
- is to put the pen down on the Calculator button, drag it to the Find
- button, and then raise it - and likewise for other strokes.
-
- To save an application's screen into PopMe! (so you can use it as the
- basis of a note or an alarm) you can set a second 'magic stroke'
- Again, this is configured in the Hackmaster screen. This mode is useful,
- for example, if you want to make a phone call. You can go to the contacts
- number in the PhoneBook, grab the screen, and then set an alarm in PopMe!
- which shows the phone number.
-
- When the two strokes you have assigned are the same, PopMe! will do a
- screen grab before running.
-
- To draw on a PopMe! note, just scribble on the screen. To create
- a new note, tap the 'page with a star' icon, to clear a note, tap
- the 'page' icon. Tap the 'trashcan' icon to delete notes.
-
- To enter text, just tap the pen on the screen where you want to
- write and enter letters using the Graffiti entry pad.
-
- To move through pages, use the scroll buttons.
-
- To set or change alarms on notes you need to launch BugMe! -
- you can do this easily in PopMe! by tapping the 'bug' icon.
-
- To close PopMe! and return to the application you were running,
- just tap the OK button.
