OUTPUT DISPLAY HELP -- Silicon Secretary V1.3 December 15, 1990
For a description of the menu options click on the SCREEN and press
the HELP key or choose HELP from the menu.
YOUR CONTROL OVER THE DISPLAY
There are six gadgets as well as the cursor keys to help you with the
text that is displayed.
UP & DOWN ARROWS
They move the text up or down one line at a time, providing that there
is more than a window full of text.
PROPORTIONAL GADGET
This lets you move anywhere in the text by dragging it with the mouse.
'P' - (PAUSE GADGET)
This is a PAUSE button. It only works while new text is being
displayed. Click it once to pause and again to continue.
'S' - (STOP GADGET)
This allows you to abort any new text that is being displayed.
You will be asked to verify this before stopping. There is no way
to continue the displaying text after you stop it.
ESC - (ESCape key)
Does the same thing as the STOP gadget.
'PRT' - (PRINT GADGET)
This will dump the text currently in the display buffer to your
printer. The display buffer contains the text above and below the
text that may be currently be visible.
CURSOR UP & CURSOR DOWN
They move the text up or down one line at a time, providing that there
is more than a window full of text.
SHIFTED CURSOR UP & SHIFTED CURSOR DOWN
They move the text up or down one PAGE at a time, providing that there
is more than a window full of text. Actually it's a page minus one
line.
CURSOR LEFT & CURSOR RIGHT
They move the text left or right one character at a time. This allows
you to see the entire 80 columns of text. Any other (up, down, etc.)
action with the text will remain offset until you re-align, close the
display window or display different text. This does not affect
any printouts, only what you see in the window. You may offset the
text up to 5 characters to see the 80th column.
SHIFTED CURSOR LEFT & SHIFTED CURSOR RIGHT
They move the text left or right 5 characters at a time, otherwise
it's the same as unshifted.
'?' Key - STRING SEARCH
The Display Window may now be searched. While it is active press
the question mark (shifted slash) and enter the search string.
Pressing return on the search string will always start the search
with the first line in the display. Clicking the NEXT gadget will
continue the search from the current line.
The 'A EQUALS a' gadget will cause a NON case sensitive search.
Clicking it to 'A NOT EQUAL a' will cause a case sensitive search.
Whenever you enter a new search string the search will start at the
first line and go to the first match or end, whichever is found
first. When a match is found the text will be highlit on the 5th
line from the top (lower if you are at the end). This will allow
you to see the lines above the match. If the match is beyond the 75th
position the text will scroll to the left to show it. If a match is
found clicking NEXT gadget will continue the search beginning at the
next line. When no matches are found the screen will flash.
The search will work on any text in the Display Window.
