- OPEN FILE: Choose this to open a
- previously saved layout. A layout is
- the positions of all the cards you
- have dealt and the position of the
- deck. Also saved in a layout is the
- comment you can access from the SPREAD
- submenu. When you open a layout all
- the cards are positioned the way they
- were when the layout was saved. When
- you choose this command a dialog box
- comes up with a list of files with the
- '.T' extention. You can change the
- wildcard above the file list by
- clicking on it and then typing a new
- one and then pressing enter. You can
- change the path above the wildcard the
- same way. You can choose a file with
- the mouse or you can click on the top
- line and type in the name, including
- the path if it's not in the current
- subdirectory. When you choose a file
- with the mouse it will appear on the
- top line with the full path. If the
- wildcard is '*.*', subdirectories will
- be shown including the '..', which is
- above the current subdirectory. You
- can move to these subdirectories by
- clicking the cursor on them. You can
- scroll thru the list of files with the
- scroll bar or the <Home> and <End>
- keys for one file at a time or the
- <Pgup> and <Pgdn> keys for the full
- length at a time or <Ctrl-Pgup> to go
- to the top or <Ctrl-Pgdn> to go the
- bottom. The box will hold the first
- 172 files matching the wildcard
- specification. Once the name of the
- file you wish to open is on the top
- line click on OK or press <O> on the
- keyboard. You can cancel by clicking
- on CANCEL or pressing <Esc> or
- right-clicking the mouse. You can
- delete the file on the top line by
- choosing <DELETE>. You will be
- asked for confirmation to protect
- against accidental erasure. You
- will only be allowed to open valid
- layout files.
-
- SAVE FILE: To save a layout file use
- the same procedures mentioned above.
- The way the cards are currently laid
- out will be saved as the file
- appearing on the top line of the
- dialog box. You may want to use the
- COMMENT command in the SPREAD sub-menu
- to type in a comment, which will be
- saved as part of the file, before you
- save the layout. You will warned if
- you are about to overwrite a file that
- already exists and asked for
- confirmation. Once you have typed in
- the name of the file you want to
- create or chosen a file you want to
- overwrite from the file list click on
- OK or press<O> (not 0). If you do not
- supply an extention for your file a
- ".T" will be appended. You need a
- registered version to save layouts.
-
- QUIT: Choose this to quit the
- program. The way the cards are laid
- out at the time you quit is
- automatically saved in the file
- "Deck.cfg". This file will be
- automatically loaded when you next
- start the program. You can also quit
- by pressing <Alt-X> or holding down
- all three mouse buttons if you have a
- three button mouse. The Shareware
- version will put up a registration
- message; read it and then press a key
- or mouse button to exit.
