- Lotus Magellan 2.0 Scroll Viewer Beta
- -------------------------------------
-
- The Scroll.Vw2 is a working Beta of horizontal scrolling, with optional
- titles. The Scroll Viewer can be invoked on any file, but come up automatically
- on files with the .TXT extension and starting with a valid TITLE line, but you
- can force it on any file by double-clicking the Insert key.
-
- A valid title line is something such as:
-
- Title: 12,8
-
- which tells the viewer to set row and column titles frozen on the top
- and left for scrolling left and right and up and down. This makes it easier to
- view the column and/or row headers of a wide or tall report. This is optional.
-
- Notes:
-
- Left & right arrow keys now move eight characters.
-
- Home and end keys take you to the leftmost and rightmost scroll
- position.
-
- Control-home and Control-end take you to the beginning and end of the
- file.
-
- There is also an optional third argument from the TITLE line. That sets
- how many characters the tab and shift-tab keys cause the screen to jump. If no
- argument is made, tab will jump about half a screen.
-
- Right now the title of this viewer is called by its code name of "SCE"
- but this will be changed once we have a better name. Suggestions please.
-
- Please let us know if you find any files that give this viewer problems,
- as well as your suggestions for which aspects of viewer improvement should be
- done first and are most important overall.
