CREATING A TUTORIAL ------------------- This document explains how to use TutorialWriter to write tutorials. It covers most of TutorialWriter's features and uses a limited number of Commands to demonstrate them. The Commands which are used are only briefly explained. For a fuller explanation, refer to the Commands Tutorial listed at the Main Menu. Type TWRITER and select Quit on the first screen of the Demo to enter the Integrated Development Environment. Follow the steps outlined below and when you've finished you will have created a tutorial with Help, HyperText, Textscreens, a Menu, a Quiz, a Test and more. The Story Board --------------- Let's suppose you want to distribute copies of TutorialWriter to experts in various fields, so that they can write tutorials in their expertise areas. (TutorialWriter's major objective is to permit experts to write their own computer based tutorials without having to learn how to program a computer). These experts may not know much about writing training programs. Knowing a subject well does not always ensure the ability to teach it. So one of the first requirements might be a tutorial on Instructional Technology to provide experts with the skills to produce effective training programs. This fictitious tutorial will deal with three aspects of Instructional Technology - Determining the Course Content, Instructional Design and Display Standards. The Tutorial Format. ------------------- The tutorial will be a Multiple Chapter tutorial. It will start with a Menu Chapter, which will show the Company Logo and present a Menu. The Menu will give access to four Subchapters. Chapter 1 will be an Introduction. Chapter 2 will deal with Determining the Course Content. Chapter 3 will be the Instructional Design chapter and Chapter 4 will explain Display Standards. We'll start by choosing an overall PROJECT name for the tutorial. TWRITER automatically assigns different extensions to different file types, so the same name can be used for the Configuration, Help, Hypertext and Textscreen files. Since there will be more than one Chapter file, append a number to the project name. The Project name for this tutorial will be MYTUT so the Chapters will be MYTUT0, MYTUT1, etc. Configuring the Tutorial ------------------------ When the tutorial is completed it will be displayed by TWTEACH. So the first step is to produce a Configuration file to tell TWTEACH which colors to use and what file to read first. Select Configure Tutorial at the Main Menu. You will be asked for a file name. Type MYTUT TWRITER will automatically create a file called MYTUT.CNF. The Configuration Entry Screen will now be on screen. The first two fields set the Default Normal Colors for the tutorial and the next two set the Default Highlight Colors. With the cursor on any one of these fields, press F1 to see the color codes. Set the Default Normal Text Color to Yellow by entering 14 in the first field. Set the Default Normal Background to Blue by entering 1 in the second field. Now set the Default Highlight Colors to White on Blue by entering 15 and 1 in the next two fields. For the Name of the Starting File enter MYTUT0. TWTEACH will look for a file called MYTUT0.CHP as the first file to read. For the HELP, HYPERTEXT and SCREEN files, enter MYTUT. When these files are created ( a little bit later ) they will be called MYTUT.HLP, MYTUT.HYP AND MYTUT.SCR. Move the cursor off the field you have just entered or the entry will not be recorded. Now press F10 or Mouse Right Button to save the information to the file MYTUT.CNF. Creating the Menu Chapter ------------------------- Now it's time to create the Menu Chapter. Choose Create/Edit Chapter at the Main Menu. You will be asked for a file name. Type MYTUT0. The Editor will automatically append the extension .CHP. You will be asked to confirm that this is a new file. Type Y and you will be in the Editor. Press the F1 key. This brings up the Editor Help System which explains all Editing and TutorialWriter Commands. Consult it if you need to check out a Command format or an Editor function. Now press Esc to return to the Editor screen. In the Menu Chapter we will clear the screen (#EF), put on a title (#T) and the title is HOW TO WRITE A TUTORIAL. Then we will put on a Logo Box in Yellow on a Black background containing 5 lines of Text (#AL,5). The five lines ( including blank lines ) immediately follow the Command. Then we will hold the screen until a key is pressed (#WN). Next we will call up a menu (#Mmytut) from the file MYTUT.MNU and finally mark the end of the Chapter (#X). Type in the following lines (shown between asterisks). Make sure you follow the exact format and that the # sign is in the first column of a row. ******************************************************* #EF #THOW TO WRITE A TUTORIAL #AL,5 MY COMPANY presents HOW TO WRITE A TUTORIAL #WN #MMYTUT #X ********************************************************* Now we'll change the color of HOW TO WRITE A TUTORIAL in the Logo Box. Put the cursor on the letter H and type ~W~I This means change the color to Intense White. It should now look like this : ~W~IHOW TO WRITE A TUTORIAL Press F10 to save the file MYTUT0.CHP. Before we can see what these lines of code have achieved, we must create the Menu File MYTUT.MNU. So now choose Create Menu at the Main Menu. Again you will be asked for a file name. Type MYTUT. The Menu Utility will automatically assign the extension .MNU. You will now see the Menu Entry Screen. As you move around the fields, press F1 for Help. This time we will keep the default settings but you can change the look of the Menu by changing these values. *************************** In the Screen Title field enter HOW TO WRITE A TUTORIAL In Menu title field enter How to Write a Tutorial In the menu subtitle field enter Main Menu *************************** Now we need four Chapter names and their associated filenames. The Chapter names will appear in the Menu. The associated filename is the file that TWTEACH will read when that chapter is selected. Enter these Chapters and Filenames: ****************************************** INTRODUCTION MYTUT1 DETERMINING THE CONTENT MYTUT2 INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MYTUT3 DISPLAY SPECIFICATIONS MYTUT4 ****************************************** Move the cursor off the last entry ( or it will not be recorded ) and press F10 or the Mouse Right Button to save the information to the file MYTUT.MNU Now we can see what has been created. Choose View Chapter at the Main Menu. When you are asked for a file name, press the ENTER key. All the CONFIGURATION files in the directory will be displayed. Choose MYTUT and press the ENTER key. When the tutorial runs it will present the Logo then the Menu you have created. If you choose a pick from the menu other than QUIT, you will get an error message because none of the Chapters has yet been created. Creating Subchapter 1 --------------------- Select Create/Edit Chapter at the Main Menu, enter the filename MYTUT1 and confirm that it is a new file. This is the INTRODUCTION Subchapter, and it will have PageBack enabled. So start the Chapter with the % Marker to mark the start of the page. Then clear the screen (#EF) and put the title INTRODUCTION in a title box (#TINTRODUCTION ). Here's what you type : ****************** % #EF #TINTRODUCTION ****************** Now position the cursor at Column 2 on Row 5 (#C2,R5) and type in the text. ************************************************************************** #C2,R5 This Tutorial will provide you, the Expert, with important information on how to create Tutorials which conform to the high educational standards set by MY COMPANY. #C2,R12 It will provide a detailed explanation of the recommended methods to be used to : ************************************************************************ Now set the cursor at Column 20 on Row 16, and make COURSE CONTENT a HyperText button by using the symbol | before and after it. Do the same for INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN and DISPLAY SPECIFICATIONS. Notice that the Column setting stays as previously defined, so only the Row Command (#R) is used. Then hold the screen with #WH, which activates the HELP System as well as automatically activating the HyperText. **************************************** #C20,R16 determine the |COURSE CONTENT| #R18 meet |INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN| standards #R20 and conform to |DISPLAY SPECIFICATIONS|. #WH ***************************************** To make the text more interesting, let's highlight the words Tutorial, Tutorials and MY COMPANY. Move the cursor to the first letter and type ~H Now that the color has been set to Highlight, it will have to be reset or everything will be highlighted. Type ~N at the end of the word to change back to Normal. The word should look like this: ~HTutorial~N Do the same with Tutorials and MY COMPANY. Now change the color of the word Expert to Intense Red. Put the cursor on the E and type ~R~I Then, of course, you have to reset it with ~N The word will look like this: ~R~IExpert~N The reason for adding the colors AFTER the text has been typed is to position it correctly on screen. You will notice that after you insert the Inline Commands, the text is pushed off the screen. When it is displayed with TWTEACH, the Commands are removed and the text will be positioned on screen as it was before the Commands were added. Now for the next screen. Since we are using PageBack, mark the top of the screen with % , then clear it and put on the title. The title INTRODUCTION has already been declared, so there is no need to repeat it. The Command #T will automatically use the last declared title. ***************** % #EF #T ***************** We'll put a Remember Box on screen with centered text (#AR,1). We'll put in three lines of text (#AR,1,3) and the text follows immediately below the Command. The default colors used by the Remember Box are Intense White on Black. The color of MY COMPANY has been changed to Yellow (~Y~I) then reset to Intense White (~W~I). The same with STANDARD but this time the Background has been set to Red (~r) so it must be reset to Black at the end (~z). Finally, the screen is held with the Command #WH,P which activates the HELP System and allows PageBack. ************************************ #AR,1,3 In ~Y~IMY COMPANY~W~I a good Tutorial is a ~Y~I~rSTANDARD~W~I~z Tutorial. #WH,P ************************************ This time when a key is pressed, we do not want the screen to clear. Instead we want a Quick Question Box to appear over the screen. The Quick Question Box has three lines for the question (#QQ,B,3). The three text lines are placed immediately below the Command. The line below the third text line contains the Answer you want to present to the student after the question has been attempted. And the next line contains the matches. If TWTEACH finds any of these in the student's response, the question will have been answered correctly. Hold the screen again with #WH,P and finally end the Chapter with #X. ************************************************ #QQ,B,3 When a Tutorial is written to the standards desired by MY COMPANY, it meets the required DISPLAY --------. What is the missing word? SPECIFICATIONS specification,ecifica,standard #WH,P #X ************************************************ Now press F10 to save the file to MYTUT1.CHP. Since we have created HyperText Buttons and activated the HELP System, these will have to be defined before we can view this chapter. So select Utility Programs at the Main Menu. Then select Help System at the Utility Menu. Enter MYTUT as the file name. TWRITER will add the extension .HLP. Now choose Add an Item from the HELP Menu. The first field holds the word or phrase that will appear in the Help Menu when the Help System is activated. In this field type ************** Using a Mouse ************** Move to the first field in the block and enter the text which will appear when Using a Mouse is selected. The text will be automatically formatted to fit in a box wide enough to accommodate the longest line of text. Type in **************************************** To use a Mouse, please load the Mouse Driver before running the Tutorial. **************************************** Move the cursor off the last line of entered text, and press F10 or the Mouse Right Button. When asked if you want to add another, type Y Now type *************** Using Hypertext *************** in the first field and this text in the block *********************************************** HyperText Buttons show up on the screen in Inverse Video (Black on Grey). To activate them move the highlight (White on Red) to the Button using the SPACE BAR, Mouse or Arrow keys. Then press the ENTER key or Mouse Left Button. Press Esc or Mouse Button to remove message. ************************************************ Move the cursor off the last line of entered text, and press F10 or the Mouse Right Button. When asked if you want to add another, type N. Select View at the Menu to preview how the Help System will look to the student. Select Return to exit the Help System Utility. Select HyperText at the Utility Menu. Enter MYTUT as the filename. TWRITER will add the extension .HYP. Now choose Add an Item from the HyperText Menu. This Utility is similar to the Help System Utility. Enter *************** COURSE CONTENT *************** as the Button Word. Note that this must be spelled identically to the word in the text, including the case used. Now type ************************************************** This is the educational material to be presented in the Tutorial. It is determined by establishing Learning Goals then identifying the knowledge and information which a learner must have to be able to achieve these Goals. ************************************************** Move off the last line entered and press F10 or Mouse Right Button. Answer Y to Add Another and type the Button Word ******************** INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN ******************** then the text ************************************************ These are the Learning Principles which lead to effective assimilation of the material by the student. ************************************************* Move off the last line entered and press F10 or Mouse Right Button. Answer Y to Add Another and type the Button Word *********************** DISPLAY SPECIFICATIONS *********************** then the text ******************************************** These ensure that all Tutorials distributed within MY COMPANY have similar interfaces and style. The students become familiar with the interface and do not have to relearn it for different Tutorials. ******************************************** Move off the last line entered and press F10 or Mouse Right Button. Answer N to Add Another. Select View at the Menu to preview the HyperText as the student will see it. Select Return to go back to the Utility Menu and then Quit to return to Main Menu. Now you have created a Chapter with a Help System, HyperText and Paging Back. To try it out, select View Chapter at the Main Menu and choose MYTUT as the Configuration File. When your menu is presented, select INTRODUCTION. Be sure to try out all the features!! Creating Subchapter 2 --------------------- In this Chapter we will give some information then present a Quiz for the student to answer. PageBack will be enabled and the Help System, which is global to the tutorial, will also be available. Begin in the usual way by selecting Create/Edit Chapter. Enter MYTUT2 as the file name and confirm that it is a new Chapter. Then mark the page, clear the screen and put the title on. ************************* % #EF #TDETERMINING THE CONTENT ************************* Now we'll put the Huge Robot on screen with centered text (#AH,1). There will be six lines of text in the box so the full Command will be #AH,1,6 As always, the text is immediately below the Command. Then hold the screen with #WH which activates the Help System. ********************************* #AH,1,6 DESIGNING A TUTORIAL STARTS WITH DEFINING LEARNING GOALS. THEY DESCRIBE WHAT THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DO AFTER THE TUTORIAL HAS BEEN COMPLETED. #WH ********************************* Now the next screen. Same again, really, but with five lines of text. The screen is held with #WH,P which enables PageBack. ********************************** % #EF #T #AH,1,5 THE CONTENT OF A TUTORIAL IS THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND INFORMATION A STUDENT NEEDS TO HAVE IN ORDER TO PERFORM THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE LEARNING GOALS. #WH,P ********************************** The third screen will be a Quiz. It will be created by the Quiz Utility and stored in a file called MYTUT1 (just in case there will be more, the 1 has been added). The QuizTest Command #QT,Q,MYTUT1 says it is a Quiz (Q) and that tells TWTEACH that the file name MYTUT1 will have a .QIZ extension. #WH,P follows the Quiz Command to allow PageBack after the Quiz has been taken. And, of course, the Chapter must end with #X. ************** % #EF #T #QT,Q,MYTUT1 #WH,P #X ************* Save the file and select Utility Programs at the Main Menu. Now select Quiz at the Utility Menu and choose the Create option. The Quiz Entry Screen will be presented. Press F1 on any entry field for an explanation of what should be entered. Type **************** TUTORIAL WRITING ***************** as the Quiz Title. Then type ******* MYTUT1 ******* as the file name and the file MYTUT1.QIZ will be created. Text entered for the Quiz Question will be centered on screen according to the longest text line. Type ******************************** Match the Questions and Answers. ******************************** Enter 4 as the Number of Questions and 3 as the Difficulty Level. Press F1 while on this field to see what Difficulty Level means. Now type in these Questions and Answers: ************************************************************************* What ensures standard Tutorials? Using the Display Specifications How is Tutorial Content determined? By analyzing Learning Goals What is the design starting point? Determining Learning Goals What is the purpose of Tutorials? To transfer knowledge and skills ************************************************************************* Move off the last entry line and press F10 to leave the Entry Screen. The next screen shows the Default Comments which will appear after the Quiz is taken. Press F10 to accept these. Select View and choose MYTUT1 to see how the Quiz will appear to the student. Then select Return to exit the Quiz Utility. Select Quit at the Utility Menu to return to the Main Menu, and view this new Chapter by selecting View Chapter. Choose MYTUT as the Configuration file and select DETERMINING THE CONTENT from your Menu. Use PageBack after you have taken the Quiz and take it again. The Answers will be in a different order! Creating Subchapter 3 --------------------- In this chapter we will create a Branching Test. In a Branching Test, when the wrong answer is selected, the student is given remedial instruction and returned to the question to try again. We will also use some highlighting tricks to make the text more interesting and introduce the pop-up window. Start as usual by selecting Create/Edit Chapter, entering MYTUT3 as the file name and confirming that it is a new Chapter. Then mark the page, clear the screen and put the title on. Now position the Cursor and type in the text. ********************************************************************** % #EF #TINSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN #C2,R5 MY COMPANY believes that learning can be enhanced by the proper use of Instructional Design techniques. ************************************************************************* Now use the Command #D1 to delay the printing for 1 second. Re-position the cursor and type in the text, but precede it by ~K. This will make it print with a clicking sound. Cancel it by typing ~k at the end of the line. Notice that the #D1 Command cannot be used to space the lines. When TWTEACH reads a Command, it does not increase the row number. So leave an empty line to create the spacing. Then hold the screen with #WH, which activates the Help System. ************************************************************************* #D1 #C2,R11 ~KEach Tutorial should consist of one or more Topics.~k #D1 ~KEach Topic should have a Chapter to itself.~k #D1 ~KThe Topic should be sub-divided into Sections within the Chapter.~k #D1 ~KEach Section should consist of Instructional Material followed by a Quiz or Test of the material presented.~k #D1 ~KThe student should be actively involved in the learning process through the use of Questions.~k #WH *************************************************************************** We'll drive the message home on the next screen by putting it into a Pointer Box. First mark the page then clear the screen and put on the Title ( you don't have to supply the title - TWTEACH will use the one from the last screen ). Now call up the Pointer Box with centered text and three lines of text with the Command #AP,1,3. The text lines, including a blank line, follow immediately below the Command. Then hold the screen and enable the Help System and PageBack with #WH,P. ************************************* % #EF #T #AP,1,3 ALWAYS KEEP THE STUDENT INVOLVED BY ASKING RELEVANT QUESTIONS! #WH,P ************************************** Now we'll put a pop-up window on screen. This will appear on top of the Pointer Box, so we will not clear the screen. Nor will we use a Page Marker. Since the pop-up window is used in conjunction with the previous screen, we do not want to PageBack to the pop-up window itself but to the previous screen. And it has already been marked. The Command looks horrendous. It is the most complicated Command in TutorialWriter, but if you break it into pieces, it is really quite simple. #BO, says This is an Overlay Box 50,4, says Start at Column 50 on Row 4 75,6, says End at Column 75 on Row 6 7, says Use a double border with a dropped shadow 1, says Center the Text ( 0 is leftjustify ) 1, says Explode on Screen ( 0 is appear fully drawn ) 1, says Read one line of Text 14, says Use yellow for Text color 4 says Use red for Background color And, of course, the line of text follows immediately below the Command. This Command and all the others are explained in detail in the Commands Tutorial at the Main Menu. Now hold the Screen and activate the Help System and PageBack with #WH,P ***************************** #BO,50,4,75,6,7,1,1,1,14,4 THIS IS IMPORTANT #WH,P ***************************** Next we want to create a Branching Multiple Choice Test. This involves a number of Commands and Markers, but if we take it bit at a time, it will be simple. The first step is to set up the screen with the Question we are asking. We start by marking the start of the Branching Test with @Q0. The @ marker must be in the first column of a row. The 0 identifies which Branching Test this is. There can be up to 10 Branching Tests in any Chapter, identified with 0-9. Do not use a a Page Marker at the start of a Branching Test otherwise when you finish the test and PageBack, you will return to the test and be caught in a loop. Clear the screen, put on the test title, position the Cursor and ask the Question. ************************************************************************** @Q0 #EF #TTEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING #C2,R5 How should the student be kept actively involved in the learning process? ************************************************************************** Now tell TWTEACH to set up a Branching Test Answer format (#QM,A) and that this is Question 0 with 4 Answers (#QM,A,0,4). Each answer is one line long and must follow immediately below the Command. *********************************************** #QM,A,0,4 By using pop-up windows By using fancy screen formatting By sending progress reports to the supervisor By asking relevant Questions ************************************************ That takes care of the Question and the Answer display. Now we have to prepare the screens which will be made active depending on the answer selected. To mark an Answer screen, use the @ marker with the Answer number. Here is the screen which will be displayed when Answer 1 is selected. @1 marks the start, then the screen is cleared and the title of the test is repeated. Position the Cursor and type the message. This time use the #WH,N Command to hold the screen. This activates the Help System and suppresses the QUIT option. Finally, use the Loop Command #QM,L,0 to tell TWTEACH to return to the @Q0 marker and start again from that point. ************************************************************************** @1 #EF #T #C2,R10 Pop-up windows can make the learning material more interesting, but there is a surer way of maintaining involvement. Try again. #WH,N #QM,L,0 ************************************************************************** Answers 2 and 3 are handled the same way. Of course, an Answer can be as many screens long as you want. The screens will be presented one after the other until the Loop Command is encountered (#QM,L, ) ************************************************************************** @2 #EF #T #C2,R10 Fancy formatting can make the learning material more interesting, but there is a surer way of maintaining involvement. Try again. #WH,N #QM,L,0 @3 #EF #T #C2,R10 Do you really think that would work? Think about it then try again. One more wrong answer and it will go in my progress report to your supervisor. #WH,N #QM,L,0 ************************************************************************** Now for the correct answer. It is similar to the others but the student is given a little reward with #NE Command. This plays a few random notes of 'Encouraging Music'. And the final Command is different. #QM,C,0 tells TWTEACH to continue the tutorial at the Marker @C0. The @ must be in the first column of a row and the 0 says that this is the continuation point for Branching Test @Q0. @Qn and @Cn must always be used as a pair ( like parentheses ) or TWTEACH will not perform correctly. The answers can be in any order. The correct answer does not have to be the last answer. TWTEACH will ignore everything between the #QM,C,0 Command and the marker @C0. ************************************************************* @4 #EF #T #C2,R10 Yes, that's right!! You have obviously been paying attention. #NE #WH,N #QM,C,0 ************************************************************** Mark the continuation point then set up the final screen. The page marker is used on this screen in order to activate the last one. Two page markers have already been used, so TWTEACH has a count of 2. When PageBack is used, TWTEACH subtracts one from its total and jumps to that point. If we use PageBack here without marking this screen, TWTEACH will jump back to marker 1 which is the start of the Chapter. We also have to redeclare the Chapter title because it was changed for the test. Use #WH,P to hold the screen and to allow PageBack. And finally, end the Chapter as always with #X. ****************************************************** @C0 % #EF #TINSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN #C2,R10 This is the end of Chapter 3 - Instructional Design #WH,P #X ****************************************************** Press F10 to exit the Editor, select View Chapter at the Main Menu and choose MYTUT as the Configuration File. When your menu is presented, select INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN and try the test!! Creating Subchapter 4 --------------------- In this final Chapter we will use the TWSNAP Utility to take a snap-shot of a screen, then we'll put HypertText Buttons on that screen. The first step is to take the snap-shot. We'll use the Logo screen from the Menu Chapter of our tutorial as the screen to be snapped. Here's how to do it. Choose Quit at the Main Menu to exit from the TWRITER program. Now type TWSNAP at the DOS prompt and TWSNAP will load into memory. Next, call up the tutorial by typing TWTEACH MYTUT. When the MYCOMPANY logo is on screen, hold down the Alt key and press S ( Alt-S activates TWSNAP ). TWSNAP will store the screen image in the current directory in a file called TWSNAP.000. Move to the tutorial Menu and select QUIT to return to DOS. Now type TWSNAP and the program will remove itself from memory. Type TWRITER and enter the Integrated Development Environment. Go to the Utilities Menu and choose TextScreen. Enter MYTUT as the Screen file name. (TWRITER will automatically add the extension .SCR). Choose Add a Screen, press F1 to bring up the name of the snap-shot file ( TWSNAP.000 ) and press ENTER to choose it. Then give it the Identifier name MYLOGO. This is the name we will use in the Chapter to call up that screen. Move off the Identifier Name field and press F10 to save the file. Select View Screen to check it then return to the Main Menu. Choose Create/Edit Chapter and enter MYTUT4 as the file name. Mark the page, clear the screen, put on the title and set the cursor. Then type in the text. ************************************************************************* % #EF #TDISPLAY SPECIFICATIONS #C2,R7 Using standards in the creation of Tutorials is important. No matter what Tutorial is being taken, the student should feel familiar with the format and presentation style. There should be no need to learn how to deal with a different interface each time a Tutorial is taken. #C2,R17 Each Tutorial should start with the Company Logo and the colors and style should be constant. #WN ************************************************************************** Highlight the words Tutorials and Tutorial by moving to the initial T and typing ~H. Remember to type ~N at the end of the word! ( ~HTutorial~N ). Now mark the next page and call the saved screen with #GT,mylogo. Clear the bottom line of the saved screen ( #EL,25) and write the HyperText Buttons to the screen, positioning them with the Cursor Control Command. Hold the screen with #WH,P which allows PageBack and Help in addition to activating the HyperText Buttons. And finally, of course, end the Chapter with #X. ******************** % #GT,mylogo #EL,25 #C2,R5 |BACKGROUND COLOR| #C5,R12 |BORDER COLOR| #C50,R12 |TEXT| #WH,P #X ******************** Before we can test this Chapter, the HyperText information must be entered. Select Utility Menu then HyperText. The HyperText file name is MYTUT. Add the three Buttons to the file. Press F10 after each entry and re-choose the Add option. **************************** BACKGROUND COLOR The Logo is presented on a Black Background. **************************** *********************** BORDER COLOR The Logo border should be in Yellow. ********************** ********************* TEXT The Tutorial title should be in White. 'MY COMPANY' and 'presents' are in Yellow. ********************* Return to the Main Menu, select View Chapter and choose MYTUT as the Configuration file name. Now you can test the full tutorial!! Making the Distribution Diskette -------------------------------- The tutorial is now ready for distribution to your Experts. The distribution diskette will need the following files : TWTEACH.EXE MYTUT.CNF MYTUT.HLP MYTUT.HYP MYTUT.SCR MYTUT.MNU MYTUT.QIZ MYTUT0.CHP MYTUT1.CHP MYTUT2.CHP MYTUT3.CHP MYTUT4.CHP To run the tutorial, the end user types TWTEACH MYTUT. If you prefer, you can put this line in a batch file. Then the batch file can be given a more meaningful name, like GO.BAT or CBT.BAT.
