Well, since hypertext makes a great help system, you are in luck.
Obviously you got this far if you are reading this, so that's good. To
get here, you probably pressed the \it HELP \it key. Usually, if you are
stuck and don't know what to do, that's a good choice.
If you are having problems following links in HT, don't despair. It
is almost the same thing as double clicking on a disk icon or project icon.
On the WorkBench, when you double click a disk icon, it opens up to
reveal what is in the disk. Links in HT work the same way. If you double
click on a piece of text that is in \bold inverse video \bold you are
"opening" that link. For example, the text on the next line will be in
inverse video.
\link { help.txt } Click here to follow a link as an example \endlink
Double clicking anywhere in the inverse video part of the above line
will allow you to "follow" the link. It's that easy.
To scroll through a file, press the up/down arrow keys. You can also
use the scroll bar or the arrow gadgets on the right side of the window.
To use the arrow gadgets, simply click in the direction you would like
to move to. Using the scroll bar is similar. You click and hold the bar
with the left mousebutton. Then move in the direction you wish to go.
If you happen to be an \link { emacs.txt } EMACS \endlink fan you can
also use the Next/Previous keys 'N' and 'P' to scroll to the "next" and
"previous" lines. Remember however, you do \bold not \bol need to use the
control key with them to actually move (ala "Dired" mode).
