SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

The Kiosk eliminates the need for technical user understanding by allowing
any image to be used as the user interface. Building on this capability, 
additional navigational choices have been included to allow fixed 
full-screen browsing via: 

	- A configurable "Hotlist" supporting up to 6 defined levels of 
	  navigation. 
	- A "Session History" to quickly back-track to recent information.
	- Shortcuts to allow "forward" and "backward" access to Kiosk 
	  images.


SECTION 2 - COMPATABILITY ISSUES

2.1 Platforms Supported

The Kiosk is supported on all Windows platforms.


2.2 Attempt to load an Invalid HTML file

be displayed. When OK is selected The Kiosk will remain loaded but the right 
mouse button will not be available. To exit The Kiosk press ALT-F4. 


SECTION 3 - TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS

This section is intended for system administrators who wish to gain more 
information regarding The Kiosk to create front end interfaces for their users.

Included Samples

Three samples have been included in this release that show the different ways
The Kiosk can be used. Before running these samples it is necessary to configure
them using the supplied UDSAMPLE.EXE. This program allows the configuration of 
what each hotlink will perform once clicked upon. Load the program by selecting 
"Initialize Kiosk Samples" from The Kiosk Program Group.
The program will display 11 categories that can be associated with a particular
application. A number of the categories will have default values  i.e. 
Memo=Notepad.exe. Configure the samples as you wish and select update samples to 
complete the process. You can now load each of the samples.

Kiosk Initial.htm

If Kiosk is loaded on its own with no .htm or .html file a default screen will be
displayed.

Kiosk Quick Menu

It is possible to configure the right click menu to launch applications or web pages,
this can be done in the QuickMenu section of the Kiosk.ini located in your Windows
directory. For example if you which to launch command.com from the right click menu 
from within Kiosk you would enter:

[QuickMenu]
Dos_Prompt=file:///command.com
