The user interface of a program basically deals with the screens
and menus that you deal with as you use SCP.
SCP features an easy-to-use intuitive user interface. All
the menus are structured in a logical way and should be easy to
follow. SCP works similarly to other programs used on the IBM PC
and a person with even some experience using a computer should
find it relatively simple to use.
This version of SCP features support for mice, Mouse
Systems, Microsoft and all compatible mice.

SCP supports the use of keyboard macros. Keyboard macro files are
files which contain words or characters which correspond to the
keys on your keyboard. If you define a macro for the key "F9"
which is known as {FN9}, this macro would be played back each
time you press the F9 key on your keyboard.
Keyboard macros effect the entire program equally. There is
a default macro file called SCP.MAC which is found in the direc-
tory that SCP was started from. I have supplied a SCP.MAC file
which you can edit if you wish to add additional macros, or alter
the existing macros to suit your taste.

SCRCAP TSR SCREEN CAPTURE PROGRAMS

the screens from the program that you wish to document. These
programs stay hidden until needed then capture the screen and
save it to memory until later when you want to convert or print

FE is a program provided to Edit the Fonts that SCP Uses for
Printing Screens. This program provides both a Mouse interface
and a keyboard interface to visually edit the Fonts.
The Character Patterns are provided as bitmaps, either 8,
12, 14, or 16 pixels in depth. There are 256 bitmaps to a font,
and both a regular and bold font is provided. Font bitmaps are
provided with a horizontal repetition factor of one, two and
three, which corresponds to character widths of 8, 16, and 24
pixels wide.

GR is a program provided to Edit the Gray Patterns that SCP Uses
for Printing Gray Shades. This program provides both a Mouse
interface and a keyboard interface to visually edit the gray
patterns.
Gray Patterns are provided as bitmaps, 8 pixels in depth.
There are 17 bitmaps ranging from 0% or White to 100% or Black.
The remaining 15 are spaced approximately 6% apart (6.25%
exactly). Corresponding to the fonts, Bitmaps are provided with a
horizontal repetition factor of one, two and three, which
corresponds to 8, 16, and 24 pixels wide.
