SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
The Kiosk eliminates the need for technical user understanding by allowing
any image to be used as the user interface. Building on this capability,
additional navigational choices have been included to allow fixed
full-screen browsing via:
- A configurable "Hotlist" supporting up to 6 defined levels of
navigation.
- A "Session History" to quickly back-track to recent information.
- Shortcuts to allow "forward" and "backward" access to Kiosk
images.
SECTION 2 - COMPATABILITY ISSUES
2.1 Platforms Supported
The Kiosk is supported on all Windows platforms.
2.2 Attempt to load an Invalid HTML file
If you attempt to load an HTML file that doesn't exist, an error message will
be displayed. When OK is selected The Kiosk will remain loaded but the right
mouse button will not be available. To exit The Kiosk press ALT-F4.
SECTION 3 - TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS
This section is intended for system administrators who wish to gain more
information regarding The Kiosk to create front end interfaces for their users.
Included Samples
Three samples have been included in this release that show the different ways
The Kiosk can be used. Before running these samples it is necessary to configure
them using the supplied UDSAMPLE.EXE. This program allows the configuration of
what each hotlink will perform once clicked upon. Load the program by selecting
"Initialize Kiosk Samples" from The Kiosk Program Group.
The program will display 11 categories that can be associated with a particular
application. A number of the categories will have default values i.e.
Memo=Notepad.exe. Configure the samples as you wish and select update samples to
complete the process. You can now load each of the samples.
Kiosk Initial.htm
If Kiosk is loaded on its own with no .htm or .html file a default screen will be
displayed.

this can be done in the QuickMenu section of the Kiosk.ini located in your Windows
