- ░WIND General Functions: Windows
- ▒ All subjects in the periodic
- ▒ table are displayed through
- ▒ windows. Each window can be
- ▒ opened, closed, moved, or pulled
- ▒ to the top of the stack of open
- ▒ windows. Many windows become
- ▒ accessible once other windows
- ▒ are opened.
-
- ░WCLO Gen. Functn's: Windows (Closing)
- ▒ All windows are closed by click-
- ▒ ing on the down pointing button
- ▒ located in the upper left corner
- ▒ of the window's title bar.
-
- ░WMOV Gen. Functn's: Windows (Moving)
- ▒ All windows except the main desk-
- ▒ top window (which includes the
- ▒ primary periodic table) and the
- ▒ expanded element window can be
- ▒ moved around by clicking on the
- ▒ top edge of the window. Then,
- ▒ while holding the mouse button
- ▒ down, drag the window frame to
- ▒ the new location and release the
- ▒ mouse button. The window will
- ▒ redraw in the new location.
-
- ▒ If you are in the keyboard
- ▒ mouse-emulation mode, press
- ▒ return when the pointer is on
- ▒ the top edge of the window.
- ▒ The pointer will temporarily
- ▒ disappear, and the window frame
- ▒ can be moved to the new
- ▒ location. Press return once more
- ▒ to redraw the window in the new
- ▒ location.
-
- ░WOPE Gen. Functn's: Windows (Opening)
- ▒ All windows are opened by click-
- ▒ ing on an appropriate up point-
- ▒ ing button.
-
- ▒ Windows may not be double opened.
- ▒ That is to say, once a window

-
- ░WWAS Why Windows Appear to Shuffle
- ▒ Shuffling occurs when an action
- ▒ has transpired to change the
- ▒ order of the windows. For
- ▒ example, if you close a window
- ▒ which is several layers down from
- ▒ the top window, move a window
- ▒ which is in a lower layer, or
- ▒ pull forward (make it the top
- ▒ one) a lower window, they will
- ▒ shuffle.
-
- ▒ This shuffling is the way in
- ▒ which the program keeps track of
- ▒ the window priorities.
-
-
- ░HELP Help
- ▒ You are currently in the help
- ▒ section's Subject Reference
- ▒ mode. The Help system works by
- ▒ clicking on the line of a par-
- ▒ ticular topic shown in the Index
- ▒ mode. This immediately forwards
- ▒ you to the subject information
- ▒ for that particular topic and
- ▒ places you in the Subject
- ▒ Reference mode.
-
- ▒ When in this mode, you may
- ▒ toggle back to the Index mode by
- ▒ clicking on the up pointing
- ▒ button which is located in the
- ▒ window's upper right corner in
- ▒ the title bar.
-
- ▒ In both help displays, you will
- ▒ see a grid located in the upper
- ▒ right of the window display. The
- ▒ corresponding yellow bar moves
- ▒ along this grid to show your
- ▒ current relative position in
- ▒ relation to the entire text of
- ▒ the Index or Subject Reference.
- ▒ For example, if you are at the
- ▒ top of the Index (first line),
- ▒ the yellow bar will be at the
- ▒ top of the grid.
-
- ▒ The home and end buttons move
- ▒ you (respectively) to the begin-
- ▒ ning or end of the Index or
- ▒ Subject Reference. Page Up/Down
- ▒ and Line Up/Down work similarly
- ▒ but in smaller increments.

- ▒ Each time this menu is opened, it
- ▒ shows the colors currently being
- ▒ used in the program environment.
-
- ░SCAI Select Colors: All Items
- ▒ This button automatically
- ▒ selects/highlights all possible
- ▒ items for which you may change
- ▒ colors.
-
- ░SCCI Select Colors: Clear Items
- ▒ This button automatically clears
- ▒ all possible items for which you
- ▒ may select colors. This means
- ▒ that it clears ▓highlights▒ on the
- ▒ items. It does ▓not clear▒ the
- ▒ colors of the highlighted items.
-
- ░SCDC Select Colors: Default Colors
- ▒ This button automatically returns
- ▒ the program system to all of the
- ▒ default colors.
-
- ░SCPA Select Colors: Palette
- ▒ To use the palette, position the
- ▒ mouse cursor over one of the 16
- ▒ colors and click a mouse button.
- ▒ This color will then show up as
- ▒ the currently selected color.
-
- ░SCRE Select Colors: Redraw
- ▒ When you are satisfied with the
- ▒ color changes you have made,
- ▒ select the ▓Redraw▒ button. This
- ▒ will update the display with your
- ▒ changes, and it will save those
- ▒ changes to the configuration
- ▒ file.
-
- ▒ If you do not select ▓Redraw▒, no
- ▒ color changes will be made.
-
- ░SCSE Select Colors: Select
- ▒ This button will change the
- ▒ colors of all of the highlighted
- ▒ items. The new color will be
- ▒ whatever is the currently
- ▒ selected color (shown in the
- ▓ Current▒ window).
-
-
- ░SYIN Options: System Info.
- ▒ This window is not very involved.
- ▒ It simply displays ▓a)▒ the type of
- ▒ memory which your computer is
- ▒ using to store temporary informa-
- ▒ tion (XMM, EMM, HEAP, or DISK),
- ▓ b)▒ how much free memory is in the
- ▒ heap (the heap is defined as the
- ▒ memory between DOS programs that
- ▒ are currently running and the top
- ▒ of the DOS 640K base memory),
- ▒ and ▓c)▒ the list of all currently
- ▒ open windows (in case some
- ▒ disappear underneath others).
-
- ▒ If your computer is using ▓HEAP▒
- ▒ memory for temporary storage,
- ▒ you will notice the free heap
- ▒ memory size will diminish as you
- ▒ open more windows and grow as
- ▒ you close them again.
-
-
- ░VIOR Options: View Orbitals
- ▒ This window shows 16 buttons down
- ▒ the right side. These can be
- ▒ used to toggle the wire-frame
- ▒ images in the display area
- ▒ between each of the 16 primary
- ▒ orbitals exhibited in any
- ▒ (currently) given case for the
- ▒ hydrogen-like atoms.
-
- ▒ Along with the image is displayed
- ▒ its corresponding normalized
- ▒ angular dependence function
- ▓ [Al,m (Θ,φ)]▒. Probably the most
- ▒ noteworthy comment is that
- ▒ several of the d and f orbitals
- ▒ look the same as each other
- ▒ differing only in their xyz
- ▒ orientation. Look for the
- ▒ positions of the axis' when you
- ▒ encounter this situation.
-
- ▒ In addition, the specific angular
- ▒ dependence functions given for
- ▒ the seven f-orbitals make up one
- ▒ set of possibilities. This is to
- ▒ say that there is not a ▓unique▒
- ▒ set of functions.
-
-
- ░FAWI Options: Window Speed
- ▒ This window allows you to alter
- ▒ the speed with which the windows
- ▒ open and close. The speed range
- ▒ is between ▓0 - 250▒. ▓0▒ is the
- ▒ slowest possible speed while ▓250▒
- ▒ is the fastest possible speed
- ▒ (virtually instantaneous).
-
- ▒ Six accompanying buttons control
- ▒ the changes in speed which can
- ▒ be made using increments (decre-
- ▒ ments) of 1, 10, or absolute
- ▒ maximum (minimum) value.
-
- ▒ Both the speed of your computer
- ▒ and the type of your graphics
- ▒ card will greatly influence rates
- ▒ at which windows open or close.
-
-
- ░ELTA Options: Element Table
- ▒ The Element Table button moves
- ▒ you to a window which shows a
- ▒ miniature periodic table and
- ▒ four buttons (All, Clear, Traits,
- ▒ View).
-
- ▒ This whole section is
- ▒ used to custom create a table
- ▒ of elements which can show
- ▒ features compared to one another.
- ▒ For example, say you wish to
- ▒ view the trend of atomic radii
- ▒ as you move down the Group 1
- ▒ elements. You would choose:
- ▓ Options > Element Table >
- ▓ Traits > Atomic Radius.
-
- ▒ Then you would highlight the
- ▒ Group 1 elements (see element
- ▒ selection) and choose ▓View▒. You
- ▒ would then see a table of atomic
- ▒ radii as a function of Atomic
- ▒ Number.
-
- ░MALL Element Table: All
- ▒ Clicking on this button automat-
- ▒ ically highlights ALL of the
- ▒ periodic table elements for
- ▒ display in your custom table.
-
- ░MCLE Element Table: Clear
- ▒ Clicking on this button automa-
- ▒ tically clears ALL of the current
- ▒ periodic table element selec-
- ▒ tions displayed in your custom
- ▒ table.
-
- ░MELS Element Table: Selection
- ▒ To select or de-select a par-
- ▒ ticular element, simply point
- ▒ the mouse cursor to that element
- ▒ and click the button.
-
- ░MSHO Element Table: Shortcuts
- ▒ Entire rows and/or columns can
- ▒ be highlighted/cancelled at once
- ▒ by clicking just above the
- ▒ desired column or just to the
- ▒ left of the desired row.
-
- ░MTRA Element Table: Traits
- ▒ Clicking the mouse on this but-
- ▒ ton will open a window which is
- ▒ a list of all of the available
- ▒ information for each element.
-
-
- ░MTTS Traits: Trait Selection
- ▒ Point the mouse at the desired
- ▒ trait(s) and click to select or
- ▒ de-select. The view mode will
- ▒ include information for all of
- ▒ the selected traits for each
- ▒ element it displays.
-
- ░MTWA Traits: Why At.# & Symbol Stay On
- ▒ The Atomic Number & Symbol traits
- ▒ always stay highlighted and can-
- ▒ not be turned off. This is so
- ▒ that you are always aware to
- ▒ which element(s) the information
- ▒ pertains.
-
-
- ░MVIE Element Table: View
- ▒ Clicking on this button opens the
- ▒ view window which displays your
- ▒ custom list of elements and their
- ▒ traits. If no elements are
- ▒ selected, it will show that it
- ▒ is empty.
-
- ▒ If you make changes to your
- ▒ selection list (i.e. add more
- ▒ elements or traits to be
- ▒ displayed), the element table
- ▒ view window will need to be
- ▒ updated. You can do this simply
- ▒ by clicking the mouse cursor
- ▒ somewhere on the remaining
- ▒ visible portion of this window.
-
- ▒ This action will cause the window
- ▒ to be brought to the top of the
- ▒ open window stack, and it will be
- ▒ re-drawn with the new information.
-
- ▒ Unfortunately, this process can-
- ▒ not be done for you automatically
- ▒ as the program cannot yet read
- ▒ your mind. It, therefore, has no
- ▒ way of knowing exactly when you
- ▒ are done updating your viewable
- ▒ selections. Sorry!
-
- ░MVLR View: Left, Right, Up, Down
- ▒ The View window has four buttons
- ▒ located in the upper right
- ▒ corner of its title bar. If
- ▒ your list is larger than the
- ▒ window can accommodate, these
- ▒ buttons allow you to scroll (in
- ▒ the appropriate direction)
- ▒ around the list so that you may
- ▒ see all of the information.
