SCRIBE QUICK-START GUIDE
========================
This short introduction is to enable you to get started with SCRIBE without
having to read the full instruction manual. However, to get the full
benefit of the program you are recommended to read it as soon as you can.
WHAT IS SCRIBE?
---------------
SCRIBE is a fast, versatile and easy-to-use text editor program. Up to ten
documents can be held in memory at the same time, and there are ten
independent clipboards. Marked blocks of text can be freely copied and
moved between documents. Full search and replace facilities are provided.
Documents can be printed, with headers and footers.
GETTING STARTED
---------------
SCRIBE can be run from any disk drive, and within any folder. The following
files should all be together, either in the same folder, or in the root
directory of the disk (i.e. not in any folder):-
SCRIBE.PRG - The SCRIBE program
SCRIBE.RSC - The resource file
SCRIBE.HLP - The on-line help file
SCRIBE.DEF - The file of default settings for SCRIBE
To run SCRIBE, double-click on the SCRIBE.PRG icon. When the program has
initialised, you can type text into it just like a word processor. The text
will word-wrap at the end of lines, and will automatically re-format itself
during all editing operations.
All of the major functions are available from the drop-down menus, and
these are also all duplicated by keyboard alternatives. The keyboard
commands are shown in the drop-down menus; the symbol '^' indicates
<Control>, and '@' indicates <Alternate>.
If you press the Help key, a short version of the instruction manual will
be displayed on-screen. Follow the instructions to view this document.
