; ------------------------ 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.

<Application>
[<<]<MEMOPAD>
[>>]<Menubar>
Application Window
The Application Window is the desktop for the
application.
The Application window contains the application's
[..Document Windows]<docwindow>. Before you open any documents,
the Application window is empty.
The application window has an [..Action Bar]<Menubar> just below
its [..Title Bar]<titlebar> and a [..Status Bar]<statusbar> at the bottom.
Note that there might not be a title or status bar
depending on the [..Display]<ID_DISPLAY> option on the [..Options]<Options>
menu.
; -----------------------------------------
<MEMOPAD>
[>>]<Application>
The MEMOPAD Application
MEMOPAD is a multi-window notepad program that
demonstrates the programmer's [**API]<API> to the D-Flat
Common User Access interface library.
; -----------------------------------------
<MEMOPADDOC>
[<<]<Application>
The MEMOPAD Document Window
This [..Document Window]<docwindow> is a basic notepad text editor. You can
have many of these windows open at one time.
; -----------------------------------------

displayed and manipulated.
; -----------------------------------------
<border>
[<<]<client>
[>>]<titlebar>

The Border is the frame around a window. When the
window has the focus, the border is a double line.
When a different window has the focus, the border
is a single line.
The window's [..Scroll Bars]<scrollbar>, if any, are positioned
in the right and bottom parts of the border.
; -----------------------------------------
<titlebar>

Scroll Bars
You use Scroll Bars to scroll a window's data with the
mouse. A window can have one or two Scroll Bars - one
at the right and one at the bottom parts of the
window's Border. The Scroll Bar at the right scrolls
the document's data up and down. The Scroll Bar on
the bottom scrolls the window's data right and left.
To scroll a window a line at a time, click the arrow
tokens at either end of the Scroll Bar. The Scroll Bar
includes a slider box that indicates the relative
position of the window's display with respect to the
total document. You can page to an approximate position
within the document by clicking inside the Scroll Bar.
You can drag the slider box in either direction to
scroll the document.
; -----------------------------------------

Getting Into the Help System
----------------------------
There are three ways to get into the Help system:
1. Execute commands on the [..Help]<Help> menu
2. Press F1
3. Press the Help command button on a dialog box.
Contextual Help (F1)
--------------------
The F1 key provides contextual help--help for the
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.
The Help Command Button
-----------------------
The Help command button on a dialog box displays
information about the dialog box and its purpose.
The help window that displays when you press F1 with
a dialog box field selected relates to the field
itself.
References to Other Help Windows
--------------------------------
A Help window can include a reference to another
help window. That reference is highlighted like
this:
[..Help]<Help>
You can Tab to the highlighted reference and press
the Enter key to select the referenced help window.
You can select it with the mouse by double-clicking
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.
Exiting from the Help System
----------------------------
You exit from the Help system by closing the current
help window in one of these three ways:
1. Press the Esc key
2. Use the Close command button on the Help
window.
5. Double click the window's [..Control Box]<controlbox>.
4. Close the help window from its [..System Menu]<sysmenu>.

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.
