▒ greater detail. Click the button,
▒ and an expanded element window
▒ will appear.
░EEW Expanded Element Window
▒ This window displays a large
▒ quantity of information about a
▒ selected element. It also has
▒ options to open any of seven
▒ sub-windows for still greater
▒ detail on the element. (See sub-
▒ headings for each window under
▒ this section.)
▒ In addition, there are scroll
▒ buttons which allow changing of
▒ the selected element by effective-
▒ ly moving along the periodic
▒ table one element in the direc-
▒ tion of the button pressed. (See
▒ the sub-heading of EEW Left,
▒ Right, Up... under this section.)
░ADIN Additional Info.

▒ graphs of variable information
▒ for each element. For example,
▒ the different allotropes of
▒ phosphorous would be detailed
▒ here.
░ANVA Analytical Values
▒ This window displays various num-
▒ erical values for each element.
▒ Details on these values are given
▒ below. Units and values are
▒ given at standard conditions
▒ (STP) of 1 atm. & 25°C. Because
▒ experimental conditions vary,
▒ these values may shift from one
▒ source to another.
▒ For melting or boiling point
▒ information, see the Physical
▒ Properties window.
▓ Atomic Radius:▒ size of the atom
▒ from the center of the nucleus
▒ to the outer-most electron;
▒ given in Å.
▓ CAS #:▒ Chemical Abstracts
▒ Services reference number.

░CHPR Chemical Properties
▒ This window details basic reaction
▒ and solubility traits for the
▒ element.
░GRST Ground State
▒ This window shows the ground
▒ state electronic configuration
▒ for the element along with a grid
▒ and sphere representation of the
▒ element's approximate diameter.
▒ Use the button in the upper right
▒ corner of the window to toggle
▒ between the two views.
▒ The default view is to the elec-
▒ tronic configuration. The
▒ numbers (1-7) shown below the
▒ image represent the principal
▒ quantum numbers (n) for the atom.
▒ For all intents and purposes,
▒ each principal quantum number
▒ represents one shell.
▒ Each ring on the image, then,
▒ designates one shell. Each shell
▒ may contain more than one
▒ subshell (s, p, d, f...) although
▒ subshells are not shown here as
▒ seperate units.
░ISOT Isotopes
▒ This window shows all currently
▒ known isotopes for the particular
▒ element. For example, ▓^4^1X to ^5^9X
▒ means that isotopes of atomic
▒ masses 41 up through 59 have
▒ been found for element X.
░ELRB EEW Left, Right, Up... Buttons
▒ These buttons are located in the
▒ upper right of the expanded ele-
▒ ment window. They work to move
▒ +/- one period or +/- one group
▒ on the table with respect to the
▒ current element. In other words,
▒ they can be used as a means to
▒ scroll around the table.
░MIEE Main Info. for Each Element
▒ Basic information for each element
▒ is found on the main expanded
▒ element window. This includes
▒ the element's group (column) and
▒ period (row), atomic number,
▒ atomic weight, and so on.
░OXST Oxidation States
▒ This window lists all of the
▒ currently applicable oxidation
▒ states for the element. These
▒ are displayed relative to how
▒ common it is for that oxidation
▒ state to exist with that element.
░PHPR Physical Properties
▒ This window gives basic physical
▒ information about the element such
▒ as color, hardness, workability,
▒ melting/boiling points, and so on.
▓ Boiling point▒ is the temperature
▒ (°C) at which a substance at 1
▒ atm. boils.
▓ Melting point▒ is the temperature
▒ (°C) at which a substance at 1
▒ atm. melts.

░ISCR Gen. Functn's: Intro. Screen
▒ If you wish to bypass the intro-
▒ duction screen, add the switch
▓ /n▒ after the program name on
▒ the command line. Then press
▒ return (i.e. ▓C:\>PROG /n
▒ {return}▒).
░WIND General Functions: Windows
▒ All subjects in the periodic
▒ table are displayed through
▒ windows. Each window can be
▒ opened, closed, moved, or pulled
▒ to the top of the stack of open
▒ windows. Many windows become
▒ accessible once other windows
▒ are opened.
░WCLO Gen. Functn's: Windows (Closing)
▒ All windows are closed by click-
▒ ing on the down pointing button
▒ located in the upper left corner
▒ of the window's title bar.
░WMOV Gen. Functn's: Windows (Moving)
▒ All windows except the main desk-
▒ top window (which includes the
▒ primary periodic table) and the
▒ expanded element window can be
▒ moved around by clicking on the
▒ top edge of the window. Then,
▒ while holding the mouse button
▒ down, drag the window frame to
▒ the new location and release the
▒ mouse button. The window will
▒ redraw in the new location.
▒ If you are in the keyboard
▒ mouse-emulation mode, press
▒ return when the pointer is on
▒ the top edge of the window.
▒ The pointer will temporarily
▒ disappear, and the window frame
▒ can be moved to the new
▒ location. Press return once more
▒ to redraw the window in the new
▒ location.
░WOPE Gen. Functn's: Windows (Opening)
▒ All windows are opened by click-
▒ ing on an appropriate up point-
▒ ing button.
▒ Windows may not be double opened.
▒ That is to say, once a window
▒ is opened, a second copy of the
▒ may not be opened.
░WWAS Why Windows Appear to Shuffle
▒ Shuffling occurs when an action
▒ has transpired to change the
▒ order of the windows. For
▒ example, if you close a window
▒ which is several layers down from
▒ the top window, move a window
▒ which is in a lower layer, or
▒ pull forward (make it the top
▒ one) a lower window, they will
▒ shuffle.
▒ This shuffling is the way in
▒ which the program keeps track of
▒ the window priorities.
░HELP Help
▒ You are currently in the help
▒ section's Subject Reference
▒ mode. The Help system works by
▒ clicking on the line of a par-
▒ ticular topic shown in the Index
▒ mode. This immediately forwards
▒ you to the subject information
▒ for that particular topic and
▒ places you in the Subject
▒ Reference mode.
▒ When in this mode, you may
▒ toggle back to the Index mode by
▒ clicking on the up pointing
▒ button which is located in the
▒ window's upper right corner in
▒ the title bar.
▒ In both help displays, you will
▒ see a grid located in the upper
▒ right of the window display. The
▒ corresponding yellow bar moves
▒ along this grid to show your
▒ current relative position in
▒ relation to the entire text of
▒ the Index or Subject Reference.
▒ For example, if you are at the
▒ top of the Index (first line),
▒ the yellow bar will be at the
▒ top of the grid.
▒ The home and end buttons move
▒ you (respectively) to the begin-
▒ ning or end of the Index or
▒ Subject Reference. Page Up/Down
▒ and Line Up/Down work similarly
▒ but in smaller increments.

░MOKE Mouse/Keyboard
▒ This program works best with a
▒ mouse, but it can be used with a
▒ keyboard as well. The keyboard
▒ emulates a mouse by using the
▓ arrow keys▒ to move the pointer/
▒ cursor.
▒ Holding ▓shift▒ while pressing an
▒ arrow key will make the cursor
▒ move ten times faster.
▒ Pressing ▓return▒ on the keyboard
▒ will act like the pressing of a
▒ mouse button.
▒ If your system has a mouse, the
▒ keyboard emulator will be
▒ disabled.
░OPTI Options
▒ This opens a window with several
▒ miscellaneous options that en-
▒ hance use of the periodic table.
░PRIN Options: Program Info.
▒ This window tells all about the
▒ program including credits/
▒ references used in program
▒ development.
░SECO Options: Select Colors
▒ This option brings you to a menu
▒ which allows you to customize
▒ how your program looks.
▒ Each time this menu is opened, it
▒ shows the colors currently being
▒ used in the program environment.
░SCAI Select Colors: All Items
▒ This button automatically
▒ selects/highlights all possible
▒ items for which you may change
▒ colors.
░SCCI Select Colors: Clear Items
▒ This button automatically clears
▒ all possible items for which you
▒ may select colors. This means
▒ that it clears ▓highlights▒ on the
▒ items. It does ▓not clear▒ the
▒ colors of the highlighted items.
░SCDC Select Colors: Default Colors
▒ This button automatically returns
▒ the program system to all of the
▒ default colors.
░SCPA Select Colors: Palette
▒ To use the palette, position the
▒ mouse cursor over one of the 16
▒ colors and click a mouse button.
▒ This color will then show up as
▒ the currently selected color.
░SCRE Select Colors: Redraw
▒ When you are satisfied with the
▒ color changes you have made,
▒ select the ▓Redraw▒ button. This
▒ will update the display with your
▒ changes, and it will save those
▒ changes to the configuration
▒ file.
▒ If you do not select ▓Redraw▒, no
▒ color changes will be made.
░SCSE Select Colors: Select
▒ This button will change the
▒ colors of all of the highlighted
▒ items. The new color will be
▒ whatever is the currently
▒ selected color (shown in the
▓ Current▒ window).
░SYIN Options: System Info.
▒ This window is not very involved.
▒ It simply displays ▓a)▒ the type of
▒ memory which your computer is
▒ using to store temporary informa-
▒ tion (XMM, EMM, HEAP, or DISK),
▓ b)▒ how much free memory is in the
▒ heap (the heap is defined as the
▒ memory between DOS programs that
▒ are currently running and the top
▒ of the DOS 640K base memory),
▒ and ▓c)▒ the list of all currently
▒ open windows (in case some
▒ disappear underneath others).
▒ If your computer is using ▓HEAP▒
▒ memory for temporary storage,
▒ you will notice the free heap
▒ memory size will diminish as you
▒ open more windows and grow as
▒ you close them again.
░VIOR Options: View Orbitals
▒ This window shows 16 buttons down
▒ the right side. These can be
▒ used to toggle the wire-frame
▒ images in the display area
▒ between each of the 16 primary
▒ orbitals exhibited in any
▒ (currently) given case for the
▒ hydrogen-like atoms.
▒ Along with the image is displayed
▒ its corresponding normalized
▒ angular dependence function
▓ [Al,m (Θ,φ)]▒. Probably the most
▒ noteworthy comment is that
▒ several of the d and f orbitals
▒ look the same as each other
▒ differing only in their xyz
▒ orientation. Look for the
▒ positions of the axis' when you
▒ encounter this situation.
▒ In addition, the specific angular
▒ dependence functions given for
▒ the seven f-orbitals make up one
▒ set of possibilities. This is to
▒ say that there is not a ▓unique▒
▒ set of functions.
░FAWI Options: Window Speed
▒ This window allows you to alter
▒ the speed with which the windows
▒ open and close. The speed range
▒ is between ▓0 - 250▒. ▓0▒ is the
▒ slowest possible speed while ▓250▒
▒ is the fastest possible speed
▒ (virtually instantaneous).
▒ Six accompanying buttons control
▒ the changes in speed which can
▒ be made using increments (decre-
▒ ments) of 1, 10, or absolute
▒ maximum (minimum) value.
▒ Both the speed of your computer
▒ and the type of your graphics
▒ card will greatly influence rates
▒ at which windows open or close.
░ELTA Options: Element Table
▒ The Element Table button moves
▒ you to a window which shows a
▒ miniature periodic table and
▒ four buttons (All, Clear, Traits,
▒ View).
▒ This whole section is
▒ used to custom create a table
▒ of elements which can show
▒ features compared to one another.
▒ For example, say you wish to
▒ view the trend of atomic radii
▒ as you move down the Group 1
▒ elements. You would choose:
▓ Options > Element Table >
▓ Traits > Atomic Radius.
▒ Then you would highlight the
▒ Group 1 elements (see element
▒ selection) and choose ▓View▒. You
▒ would then see a table of atomic
▒ radii as a function of Atomic
▒ Number.
░MALL Element Table: All
▒ Clicking on this button automat-
▒ ically highlights ALL of the
▒ periodic table elements for
▒ display in your custom table.
░MCLE Element Table: Clear
▒ Clicking on this button automa-
▒ tically clears ALL of the current
▒ periodic table element selec-
▒ tions displayed in your custom
▒ table.
░MELS Element Table: Selection
▒ To select or de-select a par-
▒ ticular element, simply point
▒ the mouse cursor to that element
▒ and click the button.
░MSHO Element Table: Shortcuts
▒ Entire rows and/or columns can
▒ be highlighted/cancelled at once
▒ by clicking just above the
▒ desired column or just to the
▒ left of the desired row.
░MTRA Element Table: Traits
▒ Clicking the mouse on this but-
▒ ton will open a window which is
▒ a list of all of the available
▒ information for each element.
░MTTS Traits: Trait Selection
▒ Point the mouse at the desired
▒ trait(s) and click to select or
▒ de-select. The view mode will
▒ include information for all of
▒ the selected traits for each
▒ element it displays.
░MTWA Traits: Why At.# & Symbol Stay On
▒ The Atomic Number & Symbol traits
▒ always stay highlighted and can-
▒ not be turned off. This is so
▒ that you are always aware to
▒ which element(s) the information
▒ pertains.
░MVIE Element Table: View
▒ Clicking on this button opens the
▒ view window which displays your
▒ custom list of elements and their
▒ traits. If no elements are
▒ selected, it will show that it
▒ is empty.
▒ If you make changes to your
▒ selection list (i.e. add more
▒ elements or traits to be
▒ displayed), the element table
▒ view window will need to be
▒ updated. You can do this simply
▒ by clicking the mouse cursor
▒ somewhere on the remaining
▒ visible portion of this window.
▒ This action will cause the window
▒ to be brought to the top of the
▒ open window stack, and it will be
▒ re-drawn with the new information.
▒ Unfortunately, this process can-
▒ not be done for you automatically
▒ as the program cannot yet read
▒ your mind. It, therefore, has no
▒ way of knowing exactly when you
▒ are done updating your viewable
▒ selections. Sorry!
░MVLR View: Left, Right, Up, Down
▒ The View window has four buttons
▒ located in the upper right
▒ corner of its title bar. If
▒ your list is larger than the
▒ window can accommodate, these
▒ buttons allow you to scroll (in
▒ the appropriate direction)
▒ around the list so that you may
▒ see all of the information.
