- How to use the Minerva Software Text Reader
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- *>Help
- This text reader has been written for easy browsing of
- Minerva help files. To use it, you can click on the
- icons to the right. The ⇧ and ⇩ icons will move you
- through the text one page at a time. The ⇨ icons select
- 'index points' and any which have text beside them may
- be clicked to jump directly to the indicated page.
-
- The text may be printed out by clicking on the PRINT
- icon. While printing takes place, you may interrupt it
- by pressing [ESCAPE].
-
- When you have finished with the Text Reader utility,
- click the ☓ icon to close the window and exit.

- About Flasher
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *>Flasher
- Flasher will increase productivity when using your
- Archimedes to run any DeskTop program by making the
- caret flash so that it can be located more quickly by a
- single glance at the screen; studies in the past have
- shown that a flashing cursor can increase the speed of
- normal data entry by as much as 40%. In cases where the
- caret can still not be located (eg. it is behind
- another window), you can click SELECT over the Flasher
- icon on the icon bar to find it wherever it is (try it
- and see!).

- Using Flasher
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *>Using
- While Flasher is running, you may click on its icon bar
- icon to locate the caret. This will send a message to
- the window containing the caret, asking it to scroll so
- that the caret is in the centre of the window and jump
- to the foreground. The pointer will then be positioned
- over the caret. Note that some tasks are not correctly
- written and will therefore not respond to this message
- in a sensible fashion. In this case (eg. 1stWord+), you
- should click MENU on flasher and disable Scroll. Note
- that the menu also allows you to turn flashing on and
- off and also has a Find option; this locates the caret
- in the same way as clicking on the iconbar icon. If the
- caret is not currently displayed, the Find option will
- be shaded out and the iconbar icon will yield a bleep.
