- xxxxwwwwaaaaiiiissssqqqq is an X Windows based client for the WAIS system. It
- is the application used for modifying and submitting
- questions to a WAIS server.
-
- This application is heavily dependant on the X Toolkit
- resource mechanism. Questions are stored to the user's
- "questionDirectory" (usually ~/wais-questions) and can be
- retrieved using this application.
-
- A question is posed in three parts:
-
- 1. Search words, labeled "Tell me about"
- 2. Sources, labeled "In Sources"
- 3. Relevance Feedback, labeled "Similar to"
-
- Search words can be entered into the "Tell me about" frame
- by simply typing into the frame. Pressing return will
- initiate the search (however, if you have not yet specified
- a source, you'll be warned, and no search will actually
- occur).
-
- To add a source to a question, press "Add Source", and
- select the source from the popup menu. To remove a source
- from the question, select the source, and click on the
- "Delete Source" button.
-
- To add a document to a question, select the document in the
- Result Document list, and press "Add Document". To remove
- a document from the question, select the document, and
- click on the "Delete Document" button.
-
- When you have you question completely defined, you can
- search the sources by pressing the "Search" button, or
- <RETURN> in the "Tell me about" window.
-
- To view a resulting document, select the document and
- press the "View" button. A new Document window will
- appear. If you'd like to see the keywords matched, press
- the "Find Key" button. To save the document to a file,
- press the "Save to File" button. When you are finished
- with the document, press "Done" button in the Document
- window.
-
- When you are finished with the question close its window
- using the "Done" button. Any changes to the question will

- The following resources may be changed to modify the default
- behavior of the application. I recommend you look at the
- resource file Xwais to get a better idea of all the
- resources available.
-
- Xwais*questionDirectory: ~/wais-questions/
- Xwais*documentDirectory: ~/wais-documents/
- Xwais*userSourceDirectory: ~/wais-sources/
- Xwais*commonSourceDirectory
- Xwais*seedWords
- Xwais*initialSource
- Xwais*questionName
- Xwais*DoSearch
-
- The last four resources are usually unspecified. Under
- special circumstances they may be used to fully specify a
- question without a file.
-
- BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
- xxxxwwwwaaaaiiiissssqqqq is heavily dependant on it's resources. If it is
- unable to find the proper resource file, it will most likey
- become unusable.
-
- xxxxwwwwaaaaiiiissssqqqq has no limit to resizing, so if the window is resized
- too small, some buttons may be lost.
