- CDP's browsing ability almost makes hypertext of any collection
- of ASCII files. To illustrate, here is how to find out all about the CDP
- command line if you have CDP's .CDP files in this directory. It's SO easy!!
- type CDP (if using CDPSW, do SPACE BAR, SPACE BAR, & then ctrl-Q)
- (CDP is now resident. Run your editor & perform these commands in it
- if you wish. You can perform them while you are in a popular disk
- manager or search program or even running CHKDSK. CDP doesn't care!!)
- type rshift-rshift (RIGHT-hand shift key tapped twice swiftly (1/2 sec.))
- type ctrl-T ('Text' to find)
- type CDP COMMAND LINE(string you will be searching for, no leading spaces)
- (no quote marks, in upper or lower case)
- type alt-G ('Go' in Find menu, which you are in)
- type A or a ('All' files on the screen (a response))
- type N or n ('No' don't stop for verification (a response))
- (CDP will mark all the files with "CDP COMMAND LINE" in them.)
- type alt-V ('View' results -- ctrl-V does a plain view)
- type alt-N ('Next' Marked File)
- type f or F ('Find' the string -- see 1st match in context)
- You can browse around very well with just the above commands. Or you
- can use the simple menus if you wish. But there is much, much more. F1 offers
- generous help at any time on exactly whatever you are currently doing. F2
- shows navigational keys. F3 shows many of the Hot Keys. SMALLMAN.CDP is the
- manual (w/ CDPSW differences) for the impatient. BIGMAN.CDP is full manual.
