A. ON-LINE HELP FILE The HELP file supplied with the GAD software is an ASCII text file that is capable of modification by the user. The following text description is contained in the file and briefly describes how to change the file if desired. It should be noted that a re- compilation of the GAD software is not required when this file is modified. The help file is labeled as GADHELP.HLP in the release library. -- -- Instructions for generating/modifying the help file: -- 1) Page separators must be used to differentiate the -- various menu and command help text pages. -- For DEC Ada the page separators are <FF> -- 2) The first line subsequent to the page separator must -- contain the menu or command identifier with the string -- beginning in the first column -- 3) The menu or command identifiers must correspond to the -- MENU_ID or COMMAND_TYPE enumerated values in package -- MMI_PARAMETERS; the 'IMAGE attribute is used -- to generate the search string. -- The following paragraphs are organized numerically according to the placement of the menu in the organization of the control menu network. The HELP option is implemented in a toggle switch fashion. When the HELP option is first selected, control is transferred to the help processor software and remains there until the HELP option is again selected. Each description is divided into the initial display when HELP is initially requested for a particular menu; and into the subsequent menu option displays when for a particular selection option, while in the HELP processor, from the menu. A.1 Main Menu Descriptions Upon selecting the HELP option on the MAIN MENU, the following display will be provided in the Graphics Window area of the terminal screen.

The starting point must be within a body. The ending point must be within a imported procedure, imported function, exported procedure, exported function, exported entry point, procedure, function, or entry point. DATA_CONNECT_CMD VISIBILITY CONNECTION Create a visibility connection. The user will specify the starting and ending points, and then be allowed to free-form draw the line by specifying up to 20 intermediate points, beginning at the starting point. The starting point must be within a virtual package, package, procedure, or function. The ending point must be within an imported virtual package, imported package, virtual package, or package.

DELETE_CONNECT_CMD DELETE CONNECTION Delete a call, visibility, or exports connection. The user will specify the starting point. If the program can determine only connection from the starting point, then that connection is highlighted for deletion. If multiple connections exist from the start point, then the end point is requested to determine the appropriate connection to highlight for deletion. The user will then be prompted to confirm or cancel the deletion. DELETE_CMD DELETE ENTITY Delete a graphical entity, and all associated connections, represented on the design diagram. The user will be prompted to select the entity to be deleted, and will again be prompted to confirm or cancel the deletion. MOVE_CMD MOVE / RESIZE ENTITY Move and resize a user selected graphical entity and all contained entities and annotations. The user will be prompted to select the outer scope of the entity(ies) to be moved and resized, the destination ( new uppper left hand corner) for the entity(ies) of the move, and the new size ( new lower right hand corner ) of the entity(ies). The resize will proportionally alter all the entity(ies), such that the outer most entity fits between its new upper left hand corner and lower right hand corner. If any connections (call, data, export) have one end outside of the moved and resized entities and the other end inside the moved entities, then the user will be prompted to attend to each such connection. The program will make an attempt to redraw the connection which the user may confirm, or cancel and redraw the connection ( by specifying the intermediate points ). If any of the connection starting and/or ending points are not within the View window, then the program with automatically go to max zoom out. The move and resize is validated prior to being executed by verifying that the resultant graph will be semantically correct. The move may not create an invalid graph by overlaying other entities. Graphs which have previously introduced this kind of semantic error cannot be moved and resized until the problem is corrected. MODIFY_CMD MODIFY ENTITY Modify the name and other Ada attributes of the selected entity. The user will be prompted to select the entity to be modified, and for new values of all modifiable attributes ( name, prologue, instantiated unit name, call status, etc. ).
