This settings document contains information about the articles in this month's issue of Open Mike. The icons at the bottom of the screen represent information choices. Click any of them to display additional information.
The "About…" button gives standard disclaimers, our paper mail and electronic addresses. If you are interested in contributing to Open Mike, you'll also find the information you need behind this button.
The "We Are…" button explains who Celestin Company is and why we publish this product. Also mentioned are a few of the other products available from Celestin Company.
The "What…" button brings up this table of contents. You probably knew that already.
The "Back…" button displays information about back issues of Open Mike that are currently available. Very little of what appears in Open Mike is timely, so back issues are a good place to find additional information and resources.
The "Mikey…" button shows the Open Mike Editorial. This gives the editor a free forum to air his thoughts and his laundry. Sometimes what you see here will make sense. Other times, you might wonder what was going on in his mind when he decided to put fingers to keyboard.
TextBooks
---------
Our feature article describes a concept of creating text windows that contain any type of information, similar to post-em notes. These "text books" can contain up to 30K of text, are resizable, can be placed anywhere on the screen, and can be minimized and maximized at will. You can use text books to store just about anything, including BBS numbers, commands, file names, and any other information that might be useful while using MicroPhone. Because TextBooks is a module, it can be used in any MicroPhone settings document.

Hacker's Hangout
----------------
This month's definition of hack: it adds and subtracts, but not much more, it doesn't know decimals or baseball scores. It's a quick and dirty example of how you can write a functional calculator, using MicroPhone's script language.
