- ║ PUBLISHING WITH SUPERSHOW V ║
- ╚═══════════════════════════════╝
-
- SuperShow is used world wide to create multimedia magazines and
- publications on disk and CD-ROM. And with the features of
- SuperShow 5, you have the most versatile publishing system
- available for DOS and Windows.
-
- You are not confined to pre-defined text boxes and buttons. You
- may create your own or you use the ones that come with your
- SuperShow Multimedia Authoring system.
-
- Among the tutorial scripts you received with the registered
- version of SuperShow is PUBLISH.SPT. This tutorial creates a
- mini-magazine with a Table of Contents, 4 articles and an end
- program option. In addition, you will see how you can show an
- animation sequence while waiting for your user to click a
- button or press a key. Check it out to see the basics of
- publishing with SuperShow 5.
-
- SuperShow 5 is used to create LiveWire Magazine, the monthly
- multimedia magazine for the GEnie Online Service. When you
- order our supplemental disk package, we will send you the
- latest compiled version along with the actual script so you can
- see how to create a full featured multimedia publication.

- Here are some particulars regarding the new scrolling features
- found in SuperShow 5.0:
-
- We have created 10 mouse buttons exclusively for text
- scrolling. These 10 scrolling buttons are in addition to the 22
- mouse hot spots available outside the text scrolling boxes.
-
- These mouse scroll buttons are entirely programmable by you.
- You may define the size, shape and location of the mouse
- buttons as well as the size of your text box. 6 of the mouse
- buttons are programmed to perform text scrolling features such
- as page down, line down, top of file (home), end of file (end)
- and so forth. The other 4 mouse text buttons are used to branch
- forward, backward, to totally different line labels or for use
- as a hot-button. (Note: At this point in this presentation,
- the Previous and Contents buttons will return you to the
- Control Panel main menu, Next will pop-up another text box.)
-
- In addition, you may actually show the button being pressed as
- we have done in this script. You may create the style and
- shape of your own buttons or use the ones we have included with
- your software. You do NOT have to have these button images
- present to use the text scrolling. If SuperShow doesn't find
- them, it will continue as normal.

- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
- Each of the mouse buttons has an associated keystroke(s) so
- your user may use the mouse or keyboard. As a matter of fact,
- you don't have to use the mouse or mouse buttons at all. You
- may instruct your user to simply use the key board for text
- scrolling.
-
- The PgDn button uses the PgDn cursor key. The PgUp button uses
- the PgUp cursor key. The Home button uses the Home cursor key.
- The End button uses the End cursor key. The line up button
- uses the up arrow cursor key. The line down button uses the
- down arrow cursor key. The Exit button uses the Esc key. The
- Previous button uses the F9 function key. The Next button uses
- the F10 function key and, finally, the F2 function key is
- associated with the hot-button. Pressing the Enter key also
- activates the Next button. Pressing the space bar also
- activates the PgDn button.
