- This is the opening screen. It's meant to remind you as to which pages
- shows what information. Hitting the <HOME> key will always move you to this
- page.
-
- The keys that are active on this page, and all others are:
-
- <F1> This will display a help screen for the page you are on.
- While displaying help:
- <UpArrow> will move the display up 1 line.
- <DnArrow> will move the display down 1 line.
- <PgUp> will move the display up 1 screen.
- <PgDn> will move the display down 1 screen.
- <HOME> will display the first page of help.
- <END> will display the last page of help.
- <ESC> will end the help session.
-
- <ESC> This will abort INFOPLUS and return you to DOS.
-
- <ENTER> A prompt will appear on the bottom line asking which page you
- want to go to. Type in the number, and then hit <ENTER> to jump
- immediately to that page. If you don't type a number and hit
- <ENTER>, Infoplus will re-start the current page.
-
- <PgUp> This will move you back one page.
-
- <PgDn> This will move you forward one page.
-
- <HOME> This will move you to page 0.
-
- <END> This will move you to that last page.
-
- <ALT+P> This is if you want to send a screen of data to the printer or to a
- file on disk. Just follow the prompts on the screen. Pressing <ESC>
- at any of these prompts will cancel the printscreen operation.
-
- When asked about Normal or IBM ASCII: if you pick Normal, any
- characters on screen that are not part of the standard ASCII set
- (such as line drawing characters) will be converted into the
- closest equivalent normal ASCII character.
-
- The page is printed with a header at the top giving the Page
- number, it's description, and the date and time. You may optionally
- add a line of your own, which you could use to identify the
- computer it's on, or similar.
-
- Unlike using the PrtScr (or PrintScrn) key, only the data part of
- the screen is printed. Not the very top and bottom lines.
-
- <DnArw> Some screens hold more information than can be shown at once. Press
- the Down Arrow key to get the extra information.
-
- <UpArw> Some screens that are long let you go back to review already
- displayed data.
-
- When starting INFOPLUS, you can use some command-line parameters.
-
