- XWord Help
-
- Install Xword.prc and *.pdb puzzle files on your pilot using the instapp
- program which came with your pilot desktop software.
-
- Hint: instapp flips a bit which tells the pilot to install new files
- on the next hotsync. You only need to run it once, then any other
- files that you copy to the \pilot\USERNAME\install directory will
- also be hotsynced. So after you add one file the normal way, you can
- just copy all the .pdb files you want to that directory, and they
- will all be installed at hotsync.
-
-
- The first screen you see after running XWord is the list of available puzzles.
- If this list is empty, you will not be able to do anything with XWord
- until you install some puzzle files.
-
- Select a puzzle from the list and then press the "Go To" button. You will
- now see the puzzle on the screen. The puzzle screen has three items on it.
- The top is the puzzle itself which only displays 11x9 squares. to see the
- entire puzzle you simply drag the puzzle around with your stylus. (press
- in the middle of the puzzle and drag) You can tell when you are at an
- edge of the puzzle because a gray border will show up whenever you are at
- that edge of the puzzle.
-
-
- The current active word is shown by a gray border around each of the
- letters, and the current active square is displayed in reverse. Simply
- tap any square on the screen to make it the active square. If you
- tap the active square again it will toggle the current word from Across
- to Down or vice versa.
-
- At the bottom of the screen, the clue for the current active word is shown.
- And on the bottom right is a little icon which identifies whether the
- current word is across or down. You can tap this icon to switch the current
- direction.
-
-
- To enter text into the puzzle, simply select on the square you want enter
- the letter in and stroke the character in the Graffiti area at the bottom.
