; ------------------------ MEMOPAD.TXT ---------------------
|
||
;
|
||
; This is the help text file for the MEMOPAD application. It
|
||
; includes the help text that a D-Flat application would use
|
||
; for the user interface.
|
||
;
|
||
; There can be a help window with a helptag name for each
|
||
; command in commands.h, each menu label on the menu bar
|
||
; as defined in menus.c, and each dialog box name in dialogs.c
|
||
;
|
||
; There can be other help windows as well. Some of them will
|
||
; be displayed as the result of hypertext and definition key
|
||
; words embedded in the help text of other help windows. Others
|
||
; can be implemented from within an application software system.
|
||
;
|
||
; Following is the format for a help window:
|
||
;
|
||
; ÚÄÄ (1st column of each line)
|
||
;
|
||
; ; anything with a semicolon in the 1st column is a comment
|
||
; <helptag> (names the help window)
|
||
; [<<]<helptag> (names the previous window in chain)
|
||
; [>>]<helptag> (names the next window in chain)
|
||
; Help Window Title (displays in window's title bar)
|
||
; Help text follows until next helptag occurs
|
||
; Hypertext reference [..keyword]<helptag> embedded in text
|
||
; Definition reference [**keyword]<helptag> embedded in text
|
||
; <helptag> (names another window)
|
||
;
|
||
; Notes:
|
||
; 1. A hypertext reference, when selected, causes the
|
||
; associated help window named by the <helptag> to
|
||
; become the active help window.
|
||
; 2. A definition reference, when selected, displays
|
||
; a momentary window with the text of the associated
|
||
; help window named by the <helptag>. The window
|
||
; closes when the user releases the Enter key or
|
||
; mouse button.
|
||
; 3. A definition window has no title.
|
||
; 4. The last window is followed by the <end> helptag.
|
||
; 5. The window's height and width adjust to the text.
|
||
; 6. The [..], [**], and <helptags> do not display and
|
||
; do not figure in the width of the line in which
|
||
; they occur.

the bottom scrolls the window's data right and left.
|
||
|
||
To scroll a window a line at a time, click the arrow

||
part of the application that currently has the
|
||
focus. You can press F1 with the action bar selected,
|
||
a pull-down menu displayed, a field on a dialog box
|
||
selected, or a document window in focus.
|
||
|

||
itself.
|
||
|
||
References to Other Help Windows
|
||
--------------------------------
|
||
A Help window can include a reference to another
|

||
on it.
|
||
|
||
Definitions
|
||
-----------
|
||
Some references, such as [**function key]<shortcut>, are
|
||
definitions of terms. These definitions are
|
||
highlighted the same as references. When you select
|
||
the definition, a window displays in the upper left
|
||
corner of the desktop. The window contains the
|
||
definition of the selected term and stays in view
|
||
until you release the Enter key or the mouse
|
||
button.
|
||
|
||
Command Buttons on the Help Windows
|
||
-----------------------------------
|
||
Each help window contains these [..command buttons]<cmdbuttons>:
|
||
|
||
Close This button closes the help window and
|
||
exits from the help system.
|
||
Back This button changes to the help window
|
||
that you viewed before the current one.
|
||
Prev This button changes to the help window
|
||
that logically preceeds the current one.
|
||
Next This button changes to the help window
|
||
that logically follows the current one.
|
||
|
||

|
||
help window in one of these three ways:
|
||
|
||

Extended Help
|
||
The MEMOPAD program has few features and procedures
|
||
that are not taken directly from the SAA/CUA
|
||
interface that D-Flat implements. The [..Log Messages]<ID_LOG>
|
||
and [..Display]<ID_DISPLAY> selections on the [..Options]<Options> menu are
|
||
unique to MEMOPAD and would not necessarily be in
|
||
an application. Some of the Display features would
|
||
be useful to a user who is not developing D-Flat
|
||
programs. Others, such as the [..Title]<ID_TITLE>, [..Border]<ID_BORDER>,
|
||
[..Status Bar]<ID_STATUSBAR>, and [..Texture]<ID_TEXTURE> check boxes on the [..Display]<Display>
|
||
dialog box, are to allow a programmer to see how
|
||
the screen looks with these features enabled and
|
||
disabled.

||
window. An untitled document is one that has
|
||
not been given a file name. When you use the

|
||
document gets a file name.

||
command works just like the [..Save as]<ID_SAVEAS> command.
|
||
; -----------------------------------------

||
[<<]<ID_SAVE>
|
||
[>>]<ID_DELETEFILE>

The new file name becomes the title of the
|
||
currently active document window where the file is

|
||
box to allow you to change the printer port
|
||
and margins for the printout.
|
||

|
||
<ID_DOS>
|
||
[<<]<ID_PRINT>
|
||
[>>]<ID_EXIT>
|
||
The DOS Command
|
||
This command "shells" out to DOS. You return to the
|
||
application from DOS by executing the DOS exit
|
||
command at the DOS command line.

|
||

|
||

; -----------------------------------------
|
||
<ID_UNDO>
|
||
[<<]<Edit>

||
these commands is written into the document at the

||
document window has a [..marked block]<Block>. The command
|
||
deletes the text in the marked block, copies it to
|
||
the [..Clipboard]<Clipboard>, and closes up the space in the
