Help file for the Sloth module
==============================
Purpose
-------
The Sloth module performs various functions whenever alt and a function key
are pressed regardless of the program currently running.
Loading
-------
To load the module double click on the !Sloth icon in the filer window.
Use
---
Press <alt>F1-F4 to slow the machine down or <alt>F5 to stop it in its
tracks (good for games without a pause button!). If you want to get things
back to full speed then press <alt>F6.
<Alt>F7 saves the screen as a sprite in the current directory with the
filename 'scr_X" where X is a number beginning at 0 and incrementing with
every screen saved. <Alt>F8 will reset this counter to 0.
Setting the system variables Int$Key_09 to Int$Key_11 causes the star command
stored in these variables to be executed when <alt> plus the relevant
function key is pressed. For example:
*Set Int$Key_09 "Cache off"
will causes the cache of an ARM 3 machine to be turned off whenever <alt>F9
is pressed.
And now for the boring bit....
