BROWSE is a full-screen file browse utility. It supports a mouse if present.
The SYNTAX for BROWSE is:
Syntax: BROWSE file_name [screen color] [command color] [+|-tabs]
Command line parameters other than the file name are optional. By default,
any tabs characters in the file being browsed will be expanded to 8 blanks.
The default screen color is 31 which is a white foreground on a blue
background. The default command color is 14 which is yellow on black. To
change an option, notice that all options preceeding it (i.e., to its left)
must also me specified. For example to not expand tab characters, the color
options must be specified:
BROWSE input_file 7 15 -
The above command would browse the input file and not expand any tab
characters. The screen color would be white on black and the bottom command
line would be high-intensity white. The screen color or command line color
is selected by number (0 thru 255). The following chart shows how the color
(or color attribute) is derived. Once a color is selected the attribute
character (show below in binary format) must be converted to a decimal number
to be useful.

If you have a MOUSE, it can be used to run BROWSE. Position the mouse cursor
over any line and click the left mouse button to position that line to the
top of the screen. Click the right mouse button on a line to position it to
the bottom of the screen. The bottom command line contains commands which
the mouse cursor can be positioned on for various functions. Click either
mouse button while positioned on the command in order to execute it.

have which are typed in from sermons given by our pastor.
