- The Turbo C TOOLS help facilities provide a flexible yet
- easy to use set of routines for displaying help messages.
-
- Here is a list of keystrokes and their actions:
-
- Keystroke Action
- --------- ------
- Left arrow Scroll text right one character.
- Right arrow Scroll text left one character.
- Up arrow Scroll text down one character.
- Down arrow Scroll text up one character.
- C/Left arrow Page left.
- C/Right arrow Page right.
- PgUp Page up.
- PgDn Page Down.
- C/Home Jump to left edge of text.
- C/End Jump to right edge of text.
- Home Jump to top edge of text.
- End Jump to bottom edge of text.
- Esc Abort read.
- Enter Finish read.
-
- Note that the help facilities support the extended
- keyboard; the keys on the extended keypad are defined so
- that they have the same actions as their standard
- counterparts. Thus, the gray PgUp key performs the same
- action as the PgUp key on the numeric keypad.
-
- The help facilities also support the mouse if one is
- present and not specifically disabled. If the help
- window's data area is larger than the viewport, scroll
- arrows will appear on the bottom and/or right edges of the
- viewport's border. Left and right arrows will appear on
- the bottom if the data area is too wide to fit in the
- viewport; up and down arrows will appear on the right if
- it is too tall. Clicking the mouse on these arrows will
- cause the help text to be moved, in the following manner:
-
- Type of click Type of movement
- ------------- ----------------
- Single left click Single character.
- Left button held down Continuous scrolling.
- Single right click Move one page.
- Double left click Move to edge.
-
- Thus, a single left click on the left arrow moves the text
- right one character; a double left click on the left arrow
- moves it to the left edge.
