ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About PM Scrapbook ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PM Scrapbook is an OS/2 2.x 32 bit application for the storage and organization
of data, notes and personal information. The organization of this information
is stored and graphically displayed in a heirarchical "tree" format. Each piece
of information consists of a an entry in the tree window, it's title and
detail.

PM Scrapbook contains a text editor for textual data as well as specialized
editors for the internal data types. PM Scrapbook also keeps track of the dates
associated with these entries for occasional house cleaning.

PM Scrapbook uses the following data formats/types:

 Text           Free format text.

 Address        Internal address book format consisting of name, area-code,
                phone number, extension, address and notes.

 To-Do          Internal to-do list format consisting of event, date entered,
                target date, and completion date.

 Mini-Base      User defined tables.

 Reference      'Pointers' to OS/2 objects.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. PM Scrapbook Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Concepts

Directories and files and the OS/2 workplace shell are nice for organizing your
stuff. However, it's easy to end up with a cluttered hard disk as well as a
desk covered with scraps of paper containing phone numbers, notes and
reminders.

PM Scrapbook provides a means of storing files and information in one file
while still preserving the directory - or tree - concept. This makes exchanging
organized materials easy. These files are refered to as 'Scrapbooks'.

Trees and directories are very similar. Every scrapbook has a tree window. This
window is a graphical representation of the information in the scrapbook. Each
icon (little picture) on the tree represents an entry in the scrapbook. The
tree window can be thought of as the table of contents of the scrapbook. This
window also allows you to arrange the structure of the entries within the file.
Please see The Tree Window for more information.

Each PM Scrapbook entry has a data type and an editor associated with it. The
editors vary depending on the data type, but they all have certain things in
common. The term "entries" will also crop up in terms of the editors as well as
the Tree window. For example, in the Tree window you may have a To-Do List
entry. When you open the editor for that Tree entry, it may contain an number
of things "to do". Each of those things will also be refered to as entries.

Working with Scrapbooks

In addition to double clicking in the program icon, PM Scrapbook may be started
by double clicking with the mouse or pressing the enter key on any file with an
SCB extension or dragging and dropping the file onto the PM Scrapbook program
icon. You may also specify a scrapbook file in the parameters field in the
Settings for the program icon. This will cause PM Scrapbook to open that file
on start up.

PM Scrapbook is designed so that future data types and editors can be added or
enhanced without disturbing any files you have already created.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Removing PM Scrapbook From Your System ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

   1. Run PMScrpBk.exe from an OS/2 command window with "remove_pmsb_now"
      (without the quotes) as a parameter. This will remove the references to
      PM Scrapbook from your OS/2 INI file.

   2. Delete all PMScrpBk.* from your hard drive.

   3. Delete all *.scb files from your hard drive.

 Note that you may perform only 'Step1' if you want to 'reset' PM Scrapbook to
 it's default settings.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. A note to current PM Scrapbook Users ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Every effort has been made in this release of PM Scrapbook to insure that all
scrapbooks created in previous versions are still compatable. If you have
trouble loading an earlier version of a scrapbook, please forward the file to
Coolware and every effort will be made to correct the problem. All data within
the file will be held in the strictest of confidence.

You may notice that the 'List' entry type is no longer supplied. List entries
are automatically converted to MiniBases when the file is loaded. Loading a
scrapbook containing a List entry immediately flags the scrapbook as modified.
You should save the file to disk to convert the scrapbbok to the latest format.
You will not lose data if you don't.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Tree Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The "Tree" window is a graphical display of the contents of the scrapbook. It
is here that entries are added to, deleted from, rearranged in, and editors are
started in the scrapbook. These functions can be initiated from the action bar
(menu), accelarator keys or by clicking the right mouse button to use a
"pop-up" version of the action bar. Entries may also be added by menu item
selection or by dragging in OS/2 desktop objects or other scrapbook entries.

The tree window is also used to organize the contents of the scrapbook. A plus
or minus sign next to an entry means that there are additional 'child' entries
that may be expanded or suppresed by clicking on the plus or minus sign.

The names of these entries are updated by holding down the "Alt" key on the
keyboard and clicking the left mouse button over the entry title or selecting
"Title" from the edit menu.

When using the direct editing method, an entry field will appear in which you
may type. When you are finished typing, click the left mouse button outside of
the entry field.

The layout or order of the entries can be changed by direct manipulation
(drag-drop) or through the 'Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste' and 'Paste after' choices
from the edit menu. Note that you can not cut or copy an entry that is open or
has one that has open children.

Direct Manipulation

You can move and copy entries within or across scrapbooks with the mouse. For
the most part, the direct manipulation rules are the same as those of the OS/2
workplace shell. Note that you can not drag and drop an entry that is open or
one that has open 'children'.

Place the mouse pointer over an entry, hold down the 'move' mouse button
(usually the right button) then move the mouse pointer either within the
current tree window or to another tree window for another scrapbook. When moved
over an entry, the icon for that entry will be drawn with a box around it. If
you let go of the mouse button, the originally selected entry and all of it's
children will be moved to the first child position of the target entry.

If you hold down the Shift key while performing this operation the originally
selected entry and all of it's children will be moved to the position directly
beneath the target entry - the next sibling.

Holding the Ctrl key in conjunction with either of the previous two operations
causes the originally selected entry to be copied, instead of moved, to the new
position.

You can drag any OS/2 object into a scrapbook. If 'Drops are references' is
checked on the Tree page of the settings notebook, all drops create reference
entries. A Reference entry is created whenever the Ctrl and Shift keys are
pressed during a drag/drop operation.

If the 'Drops are references' option is not checked and the Shift key is not
used in conjunction with the Ctrl key and the source object is identified as
'Plain Text' a Text entry is created and populated with the contents of the
source file.

PM Scrapbook never deletes drag/dropped objects from your hard disk.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. PM Scrapbook Editors ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PM Scrapbook contains individualized editors for each of it's information
types. The appropriate editor is automatically invoked for the slected entry in
the tree window when the Enter key is pressed, the entry is double-clicked upon
or Edit is selected from the edit menu.

Certain functionality is common across all of the editors:

     Changing of entry title.

     Selection of the font and colors for that instance of the editor.

     Window size and position stored with the data.

     Searching and printing.

     Menu choices to save the entire scrapbook and to jump to the tree window.

     Clipboard support.

 The following pertains to all editors except the text editor:

 All editors use the OS/2 method of text entry: Hold down the Alt key on the
 keyboard and click the left mouse button over the text area to be changed or
 added. Keyboard shortcuts are also provided for mouse-free operation.

 All editors support direct manipulation (drag and drop) for changing the order
 of the records within an entry. None of the editors support drag and drop to
 another editor instance.

 Please see the following sections for more information:

      Text
      Address Books
      To-Do Lists
      Mini-Base
      Reference


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Text editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A "Text" entry consists of free-form textual information. Text entries may be
added to the scrapbook by:

     Selecting "Text" or "From clipboard" from the tree window Create menu.
     Selecting "Paste" or "Paste after" from the tree window Edit menu.
     'Dragging' in a text entry from another PM Scrapbook tree window.
     'Dragging' in a file from a folder on the desktop.

 Within the editor, information can be entered manually and imported from a
 file or the clipboard.

 At first glance, the text entries might seem pretty uninteresting. They are,
 however, one of PM Scrapbook's strongest points. They are perfect for:

     Organizing scattered files and notes by logical topics.
     Storing e-mail threads.
     Consolidating 'ReadMe' files and config.sys and autoexec.bat backups.
     Creating your own references with a heirarchical organization.

 Please note that you can import or drag-in any file type into a scrapbook.
 However, anything besides plain text files will be unusable. PM Scrapbook
 never deletes drag/dropped files from your hard disk.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Address Book editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

An "Address Book" entry consists of any number of individual record entries.
Address Book entries may be added to the scrapbook by:

     Selecting "Address book" from the tree window Create menu.
     Selecting "Paste" or "Paste after" from the tree window Edit menu.
     'Dragging' in an entry from another PM Scrapbook tree window.

 Each entry in the Address book consists of the following fields:

 Name                There is only one name field. That is, there are not
                     seperate fields for first and last names. Since this field
                     can be used for sorting, you should enter the names in the
                     order you wish to sort: Last name, First name or First
                     name Last name.

 Area Code           The area or country code of the phone number.

 Phone Number        The phone number.

 Extension           The extension.

 Address             The address.

 Notes               Space for any additional information about the person or
                     business.

 Date                The date this entry was created or last updated.

 The information in these fields are updated by holding down the "Alt" key on
 the keyboard and clicking the left mouse button over the field to be updated.
 An entry field will appear in which you may type. When you are finished
 typing, click the left mouse button outside of the entry field. You may also
 use the "Begin edit", "Next edit", "Previous edit" and "End edit" functions
 from the Edit menu to update the entries. Once the edit sequence has been
 started you can use the Tab key to move to the next column.

 Note that none of the fields are mandatory and no validations are performed on
 their contents.

 The address book editor is divided into 2 halves. The left half consists of
 the "Name" through "Phone Number" fields with the remaining fields, starting
 at extension, in the right half.

 To move the split point, position the mouse pointer over the split bar. When
 the pointer changes from the arrow-pointer, hold down either mouse button and
 slide the split bar to the desired position.

 You may suppress columns from the display if they are not applicable to the
 current address book. Note that this suppression applies only to the current
 entry. It does not apply to any other address books in the current scrapbook
 or any other scrapbook.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. To-Do List editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A "To-Do List" entry consists of any number of individual record entries. To-Do
List entries may be added to the scrapbook by:

     Selecting "To-Do list" from the tree window Create menu.
     Selecting "Paste" or "Paste after" from the tree window Edit menu.
     'Dragging' in an entry from another PM Scrapbook tree window.

 Each entry in the To-Do list consists of the following fields:

 Entry date     This is the date on which you added the task entry to this
                To-Do list.

 Target date    This is the date on which you would like to complete the task.

 Done date      This is the date on which this task was set as completed.

 !              This column displays the priority ( 1 to 5 ) of the task.

 ?              This column displays an 'X' if the task is completed or a blank
                if it is not. if it is not.

 Task           This column describes the task "to do".

 The task description is entered and updated by holding down the "Alt" key on
 the keyboard and clicking the left mouse button over the task description
 field or pressing Ctrl-T on the keyboard. An entry field will appear in which
 you may type. When you are finished typing, click the left mouse button
 outside of the entry field. You may also use the "Task" choice from the Edit
 menu.

 The date fields are updated by invoking the appropriate date edit from the
 "Edit" menu. The "Done date" and "Entry date" are automaticlly updated for
 you, but you may over-ride them with the date editors.

 A task is marked as "done" by double clicking over the appropriate entry or
 pressing the "enter" key on the keyboard when the desired entry is
 highlighted.

 The to-do list editor is divided into 2 halves. The left half consists of the
 date fields and the right half of the priority, check and task description
 fields.

 To move the split point, position the mouse pointer over the split bar. When
 the pointer changes from the arrow-pointer, hold down either mouse button and
 slide the split bar to the desired position.

 The entires in a to-do list can be sorted by any of the fields.

 You may suppress columns from the display if they are not applicable to the
 current to-do list. Note that this suppression applies only to the current
 entry. It does not apply to any other to-do lists in the current scrapbook or
 any other scrapbook.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. MiniBase editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A "MiniBase" entry consists of any number of individual record entries.

     Selecting "MiniBase" from the tree window Create menu.
     Selecting "Paste" or "Paste after" from the tree window Edit menu.
     'Dragging' in an entry from another PM Scrapbook tree window.

 Each entry in the list consists of up to 16 columns of data. The contents of
 these columns are entirely free form and no validation is performed by PM
 Scrapbook. The appearance of these columns is controlled by the "Settings"
 item from the MiniBase File menu. This invokes a dialog from which you specify
 the column titles, data alignment, sort options and split bar location.

 This entry type is provided as a generic, everything-else editor. For example,
 you may create a MiniBase of:

     Inventories.
     Words and definitions for a dictionary.
     Words and their translations in another language.
     Start and end dates for residences and jobs.
     Clothing sizes.
     Questions and answers.

 The information in these fields are updated by holding down the "Alt" key on
 the keyboard and clicking the left mouse button over the field to be updated.
 An entry field will appear in which you may type. When you are finished
 typing, click the left mouse button outside of the entry field. You may also
 use the "Begin edit", "Next edit", "Previous edit" and "End edit" functions
 from the Edit menu to update the entries. Once the edit sequence has been
 started you can use the Tab key to move to the next column.

 To move the split point, position the mouse pointer over the split bar. When
 the pointer changes from the arrow-pointer, hold down either mouse button and
 slide the split bar to the desired position.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14. Reference editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A "Reference" is a pointer to an OS/2 object.

References are created through the 'Create' menu option in the Tree window or
by 'dragging' OS/2 objects into the Tree window. To add a Reference, hold down
the Ctrl or Ctrl/Shift key and drag the object to the desired location in the
Tree window.

While bearing many similarities to an OS/2 "Shadow" object, References aren't
as smart. If, after creating a Reference in PM Scrapbook, you move or delete
the referenced object the Reference link will be lost and you must recreate the
entry.

PM Scrapbook can not track the status of an open Reference. Therefore, if you
double click or select 'Edit' from the 'Edit' menu of the Tree window the
in-use highlighting (a hatched background) is not set on the Reference entry.
For this reason References, unlike all of the other editors are not reopened
when you re-open the scrapbook.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 167. Printing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

At this release printing is suported from within all editors. Printing is not
yet supported from the Tree window - that is, the entire Scrapbook can not be
printed as one document.

PM Scrapbook behaves differently than most applications when it comes to fonts
and printing. Two fonts are maintained for each entry: one for the display and
one for printing. This is because of the use of vertically split windows in
most of the  editors. This concept does not apply to a sheet of paper.
Therefore, on-screen viewing preferences will probably differ from those of
printed output.

The printing rules are as follows:

   1. If a font is selected from the print dialog, that font is set as the
      print font for the current entry and used for this and all subsequent
      printings of the entry.

   2. If a print font has been previously selected for this entry, it is used.

   3. Use the font selected on the Print page of the settings notebook.

 See Print Settings for more information.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 170. PM Scrapbook ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      $35
      CompuServe SWREG id#: 1318

 This 32 bit Presentation Manager application allows you to store any number of
 personal information "objects" in a file. These objects are organized in the
 familiar parent/child heirarchy (like the directories and subdirectories on a
 hard drive). The number and depth of these objects are limited only by your
 computer's memory.

 Unlike most personal information managers, PM Scrapbook accommodates the need
 to organize the seemingly senseless acquisition of textual information we all
 live and breathe by.

 This program is featured in the Sam's Publishing publication 'OS/2 2.11
 Unleashed !'.

 The package consists of:

 PMScrpBk.exe     Executable code.
 PMScrpBk.hlp     Online help.
 PMScrpBk.txt     A textual introduction.
 PMScrpbk.scb     An example scrapbook.
