To start the program, simply double-click on the NurseW icon and it will install itself on the iconbar. [SELECT] click on the iconbar icon to open the menubar, then click on any of the menubar options to open a window giving access to the appropriate wimp functions. Click on the Menubar icon to shut the window again.
[SELECT] clicking on the appropriate function will insert that function at the cursor, complete with brackets to remind you to fill in the appropriate parameters. [ADJUST] clicking on the function will open a window at the top of the screen showing which parameters that function takes.
[ADJUST] click on the iconbar icon to open a small menu at the bottom of the screen giving access to a few of the most common BASIC functions used in Dr Wimp.
Three menu windows, those for Window, Icon and Menu functions, have writable icons at the bottom, type in the appropriate handle or icon number in the boxes and the contents will be inserted at the relevant place in the function string. If you omit the % character from a window, icon or menu name, NurseW will automatically add it for you. In fact, to get the best results, it is advisable not to add the % character. The contents of these icons are automatically deleted when the parent window is closed.
Icon numbers and item numbers can be increased/decreased using the bumper icons. This saves losing the cursor in the Basic window when entering successive icons/items.
