- The best way to learn about Quick Titles is to enter "b<return>" for
- border or "t<return>" for text at the first prompt (the main prompt), and
- to press F1 at all the prompts that follow, so that you learn what options
- are available from the many pictorial help screens. It's all quite easy.
-
- While you're entering text, be sure to press F1. This will tell you
- how to get special features such as automatic text centering. Word wrap
- and letter wrap are automatic, even for large fonts.
-
- Remember that the backspace (when entering text) or "u" (for "Undo",
- entered at the main prompt) will quickly erase any errors you've made.
- Use "u" (Undo) at the main prompt to remove borders or "a" to undo all.
-
- Later, you'll find that there are shortcuts; even faster ways of
- using Quick Titles: many complete commands (such as "r9010" or "m8") can
- be entered at the main prompt (the prompt with ">" at the start). That
- way, you don't have to answer any further sub-prompts in order to place
- a border on the screen, or start entering text. See other help screens,
- as well as any attached documentation files, for more information.
-
- Don't forget to press Function key 1 often for attractive help screens!
-
- Press F2 for a demonstration, or any key to begin ...
- The titles and screens that you create with "Quick Titles" are built
- from the top down, according to your orders at the prompt line below.
-
- Press "b" and then "Enter" (or "Return") at this prompt to start the
- process of placing a border onto the screen (then press F1 at the next
- prompt, to view the many sorts of borders that you can use).
-
- Press "t" (and then "Return") to place text on the screen. At the next
- prompt, press F1 to view the various sorts of text you can choose from.
-
- Press "s" (and then Return) at this, the main prompt, to put vertical
- spaces between borders or lines of text. A single blank row will be
- inserted, invisibly, after what's on the screen. "s2" places two rows.
-
- Press "u" (and then Return) to undo whatever you did last.
-
- Press "Escape" to back up to the main prompt (which you see below).
- Press either "Escape" or "e" (for end) when you're done. You will
- then be asked whether you want to save your stunning creative work.
-
- You can enter an order now, below: (or press F1 again for more info)
-
-
- Here are most of the commands you can use at this, the main prompt:
-
- a (again) - scrap this title and start afresh
- b (border) - to place a border onto the screen
- e (end) - to quit, when your title is complete (or ALT-X)
- f (file) - to save graphic as a file (ALT-S also works)
- i (in) - to load in an ASCII file (ALT-L also works)
- j (big block) - to place large "blockish" text on the screen
- k (block) - to place "blockish" style text on the screen
- l (large) - to place large text on the screen
- m (medium) - to place medium text onto the screen
- n (normal) - for regular text, the same size as you are reading
- o (outline) - to place short outline text onto the screen
- s (space) - to place a vertical space or spaces onto the screen
- t (text) - to place some sort of text on the screen
- u or backspace (undo) - erases the last letter or border placed
- x (extended) - to place streched medium text on the screen
- z (extended) - to place stretched outline text onto the screen
- d (delay), v(view), !(loop), w(wait) - for automatic mode
-
- Don't neglect to use F1 later on for other context sensitive help!
- Press F1 now for still more help, about shortcuts and automatic mode.
- You also have a few options that can help you to enter your orders
- for text and borders more quickly:
-
- Rather than specifying "t" for text and then "o" for the shorter
- outlined letters at the next prompt, just enter "o" at the first
- prompt.
-
- Instead of entering "o" for outlined letters and then "6" for
- style 6 at a subsequent prompt, you can just enter "o6".
-
- Rather than specifying "b" for border and then the number at the
- next prompt, and the style at the prompt after that, you can specify,
- say, "2013" at the main prompt to place a style 2 border 13 on the
- screen, or, say, "1205" to place a style 12 version of border 5 onto
- the screen. An "r" (for "reverse") in front of such a border number
- will turn the border upside down. (eg, "r1205" mirrors border 1205).
-
- In this way 1000 means a single straight line, 2000 means a double
- straight line, 3000 a thicker single line shifted down, etc.
-
- Press F1 now to learn how to operate Quick Titles by remote control
- from the command line, or the spacebar to return to the main prompt.
- It is possible to feed Quick Titles a string of orders as an argument at
- the command line, which it will then carry out automatically, creating the
- message you wish to display on the screen, without having to receive any
- input from the keyboard. Just create a string of orders as you would enter
- them at the command line, using "#" to represent a carriage return at the
- command line, "%" for a carriage return in the middle of text, and the
- underline "_" to represent any spaces. Use a "v" to display the screen
- (or "f" to save it as "screen.txt"), and "w" to wait for a keypress:
-
- c>titles r1210#m8#@Hello_World%from_quick_titles#s#1210#v#w#a
-
- Alternatively, put a file name as an argument and place the order string
- you wish in that file (split into as many lines as you like).
- "qt-demo.ord" is such a file, and worth examining as a sample.
-
- You can place delays and change screens to create a changing display: "d20"
- creates a two second delay, "d1" a tenth of a second delay, etc. Just "d"
- creates a one second delay. "a" functions to start a new title, as usual;
- and "!" will loop Quick Titles back to the first order, for repeating
- displays. Thus the code fragment: #v#d60#a# puts a six-second delay between
- two screens, and the code fragment #v#d#d#d#!# delays 3 seconds and then
- starts performing your orders again, from the beginning. A press of the
- Escape key will get you out of any looping, delaying, or waiting.

-
- Putting a border above and the reversed border below your QuickTitle
- (or vice versa) gives a pleasing (vertical) symmetry to your work.
- Line drawn borders usually reverse quite well, as do borders 30
- through 35, which are intended to be used this way. Note that
- "shifted up" borders, when reversed, become "shifted down".
- "r3021" entered at the main prompt will give you the mirror image
- of a style 3 border 21.
-
- Borders that are only 1 row deep cannot be reversed.

- Outline letters style 3 are shown inflated to 1 x 1, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, and
- 1 x 3 (1 times as high and 3 times as wide) their usual size.
- If you make an error in entering text, the backspace will remove it.
- (Borders and vertical spaces must be removed with undo however).
- Digits and some punctuation are available for most fonts.
- In addition, some characters have special effects:
-
- "@" - (or ALT-C) will trigger automatic line centering - after entering,
- further lines of text will be centered when you press return.
-
- "^" - will start all lines at the center of the screen.
-
- "&" - cancels the above special characters: any further lines will
- be started at the left margin, and won't be automatically
- centered.
-
- "}" - will add a space to the current line exactly one column wide:
- can be used to put extra spaces between letters and between
- letters and punctuation.
-
- "{" - will move the next letter entered back exactly one column.
- (This is used to reduce the amount of space between letters).
-
- It is possible to mix different styles and sizes of letters on one line.
- When you want to change to a different font or border, etc, press ESCAPE.
