Keeping the Down Cursor Key held will, when the Cursor is on the bottom line, scroll the screen up to allow the remainder of the File to be displayed. Up Cursor Key wil do the reverse. The same effect can be achieved by moving the Cursor with the Mouse and keeping the LEFT BUTTON pressed. There is no automatic wordwrap though the key gives the usual movement of the Cursor UNLESS within the confines of a Line or Box. ˆ‰‰‰‰‰‰‰ŠYOU CANNOT OVERTYPE OVER A BOX CORNER OR ANY VERTICAL LINEˆ‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰Š Œ‰‰‰‰‰‰‰ Œ‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰ Three Commands are NOT available from the Menu or by Mouse Control :- These are achieved by holding down the Ctrl Key and pressing the key listed within the <> marks. - Inserts a Line at the Cursor position. - Deletes a Line at the Cursor position. - UNDOES the LAST and ONLY THE LAST. NOte that all of these commands will affect the FORM Length. Access to the Menu Commands is by the normal Amiga Right Mouse Key. Some Commands have a Keyboard Shortcut - F1 to F10 - plus the Escape Key to QUIT. With practice the use of the Function Keys speeds up the Drawing quite considerably. To protect any Form Design on the Screen, the only way BOXES or LINES can be deleted is by using the CLEAR AREA Command. ˆ‰‰Š ‹F1‹NEW FORM - Clears the Screen work area, repositions the Cursor at 1,1 Œ‰‰ and Requests an Input for Form Length. This Length is restricted to greater than 30 lines and less than 450. ABOUT - Just shows the Name & Address of the Author ˆ‰‰‰Š ‹Esc‹QUIT - Allows correct termination of the Program. Any Form in Œ‰‰‰ memory that HAS BEEN MODIFIED will cause a Requester to ask if it needs to be SAVED before quitting. ˆ‰‰Š ‹F2‹LOAD FORM - A File Requester prompts for a valid Filename to LOAD a FORM Œ‰‰ from Disc. Only Files created by this Program, (with the extension of ".fru") can be loaded. ˆ‰‰Š ‹F3‹SAVE FORM - Any FORM in memory that has a valid Filename (".fru") can be Œ‰‰ SAVED directly to Disc. If the Filename is the Default of "noname" then a switch will be made to :- ˆ‰‰Š ‹F4‹SAVE AS - A File Requester prompts for a valid Filename to SAVE a FORM Œ‰‰ to Disc. If the extension ".fru" is omitted then it will be automatically appended before Saving. Existing Files of the same name will be OVERWRITTEN WITHOUT WARNING. MAKE SUB-DIRECTORY - Any valid Amiga Sub-Directory, or Folder, can be created with this option. NO CHECKS ARE MADE. DISC DIRECTORY Shows a requester - YES gives Current Directory - NO allows an input to Change Directories - QUIT this option. KILL FILES - To protect any other, "MORE VALUABLE" Files stored on the Disc, only Files with the extension ".fru" may be PURGED using this option. NO RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE. RENAME FILES - Any Filename in any Directory, or Folder, may be RENAMED with this option. It will allow a minimal protection of any Forms created and saved from being purged accidentally. YOU CANNOT HOWEVER LOAD OR PRINT THESE RENAMED FILES ˆ‰‰Š ‹F5‹DRAW BOX - The Mouse Arrow changes to CROSS WIRES to allow accurate Œ‰‰ positioning, and a Box may be drawn FROM any point TO any point on the screen. Any existing BOXES, LINES or PRINTING will be overdrawn. Boxes may be Joined or linked together as preferred. ˆ‰‰Š ‹F6‹DRAW LINE - A Horizontal or Vertical Line may be drawn anywhere on the Œ‰‰ screen. It will overdraw ALL existing BOXES, LINES or PRINTING. The correct Corner Characters may be inserted after drawing the LINE by changing the CAPS LOCK to ON and positioning the Cursor over the Corner to be Changed with the Mouse Pointer. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH THE CURSOR KEYS. ˆ‰‰Š ‹F7‹CLEAR AREA - To give some form of protection against this users who Œ‰‰ type without looking at the Keyboard, this option has been inserted as the ONLY METHOD of deleting BOXES or LINES. It can however be used to Clear ALL Areas of Text or Lines. ˆ‰‰Š ‹F8‹JUSTIFY - ANY TEXT may be Justified LEFT, CENTRALLY or RIGHT within Œ‰‰ the boundaries of the Screen or within Boxes or Lines. The BOTTOM STATUS LINE changes to prompt the user to Highlight the required section of TEXT using the MOUSE ARROW to point at the START - then hold the LEFT BUTTON DOWN drag the ARROW over the TEXT. Releasing the LEFT BUTTON will Bring up a Requester to choose the type of Justification. ˆ‰‰Š ‹F9‹ADJUST LENGTH - The Overall Length of the FORM in memory may be changed Œ‰‰ with this option provided that the minimum of 31 lines or maximum of 450 lines is adhered to. To conserve Disc Space it is suggested that the Length be adjusted to the minimum reqired for any Form BEFORE Saving to Disc. ˆ‰‰‰Š ‹F10‹PRINT FORM - Sends the Form in memory to any attached PRINTER. Œ‰‰‰ CHANGE PARAMETERS - Will allow a Permanent Record to be made of any change required to Initial Drive, Initial Directory, or Folder, and to the Printer attached, and some of its parameters. ˆ‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰Š ‹NO GUARANTEES CAN BE GIVEN OR IMPLIED FROM THE USE OF THIS PROGRAM‹ ‹ ‹ ‹ Copyright 1990 - A.H.Meek. ‹ Œ‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰‰
