*MENU HELP Select a menu item by moving the menubar on it and depressing the RETURN key. You may also select a menu item by typing the menu's highlighted letter. The key combination ALT-X will terminate ProGRAP immediately. ALT-X can not be used while one of the tools is running, this to prevent file damage. ALT-Z will suspend ProGRAP and return to the DOS-prompt. To return to ProGRAP, type EXIT. Add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT : set prograp=drive:\path Replace drive:\path with the path where ProGRAP should look for its help and config file. If ProGRAP does not find the environment variable prograp, then it starts searching in the directories specified in the PATH instruction of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If not found, the root of drive c: is assumed. ProGRAP can start running without the files PROGRAP.HLP and PROGRAP.CFG, but not without the files PROGRAP.MSG and PROGRAP.SCN.

The order in which the variables appear is not important. Nor is the presence of each variable. Upper- and lowercase may both be used. Key usage : ═══════════ HELP ──── Alt-F1 : Zoom and unzoom help window. MENU ──── CTRL + HOME : First item. CTRL + END : Last item. LEFT : Previous item. RIGHT : Next item. UP : Move up one item. DOWN : Move down one item. ESC : Exit to higher-level menu. ENTER : Select current highlighted item. LETTER : Move to item with same selection character and select. CHOICE LIST ─────────── UP : Move cursor up one row. DOWN : Move cursor down one row. PGUP : Move cursor up one page. PGDN : Move cursor down one page. HOME : Move cursor to first row in window or first row in list. END : Move cursor to last row in window or last row in list. ESC : QUIT choice list. ENTER : Select. FORM ──── F2 : Activate choice list if present. F6 : Clear field. Shft-F3 : Undo. Shft-F6 : Clear from cursor to end of field. F7 : Previous item on the form. F8 : Next item on the form. F10 : Exit form. END : Move cursor to end of the field. HOME : Move cursor to beginning of the field. CTRL + HOME : First item of the form. CTRL + END : Last item of the form. ENTER : Move to next item on the form. TAB : Next item. Shft-TAB : Previous item. SPACE : Toggle between field values. Shift-F1 calls an alternate help function which gives you help about which keys to use at that moment. The top menuline shows besides the clock the status of the keyboard. It shows wheather num-lock, caps-lock or scroll-lock is turned on. Scroll-lock has a special function. When a tool is started and scroll-lock is ON, the tool will produce 48 lines of output and will then be halted. During this pause you can scroll thru these 48 lines using the cursor keys. To continue, hit the spacebar, another 48 lines will be buffered. ESC will stop the tool. *SELECT FILES Select the files which will be used with one of the tools. Selecting this option causes the selected file list to be cleared. The selected file list remains active after the use of each of the tools. A file can be viewed with F3. Use F2 to change the file search specification. *VIEW SELECTION Pop's up a window with all the selected files. Use the cursor keys, home, end, page up and down keys to scroll through the list. The mouse can be used when a driver is active. *CHANGE DRIVE Change the system's current drive. If it is not possible to change to that drive, ProGRAP will switch to drive C:. *EXIT PROGRAP Exit from ProGRAP, and return to the calling program or OS. *FGREP Search through the selected files for a given string. FGREP can search for three strings at the same time. If case sensitive search and output to screen only have been selected, then FGREP will work fast ! Case insensi- tive search and sending the result to a file, slows down FGREP. *GRAP Search through the selected files for a given string and replace this string with the second entered string. Selecting case insensitive search and output to file, slows down GRAP. *UNTAB Search through the selected files for tabulations and replace them with spaces. The tabulation width can be changed, select SETUP and from this list TAB-WIDTH. *TAB Replace groups of spaces by tab's. The tabulation width can be changed, select SETUP and from this list TAB-WIDTH. It is possibble to prevent spaces between single or double quotes being replaced by tab's. See SETUP / REPL. EMBEDED SPACES. *CASE Select wheather the search for a string should be case sensitive or not. Se- lecting sensitive search speeds up FGREP and GRAP, but does not allow the use of wild characters. *WILDCHAR Select the wild character to be used in search functions. This feature is only available when case insensitive search is used. *TABWIDTH Enter the number of spaces that should be used when replacing a tabulation. *EXTENSION Enter the extension that should be used when preserving the original files. For GRAP and UNTAB only. *DIRECTORY Enter the path where output files should be placed. For GRAP and UNTAB only. When this option is active, the changed files are placed in this directory. *USE EXTENSION When this flag is turned on, GRAP and UNTAB will create a file with the ori- ginal name, but with the extension defined with the option EXTENSION. *USE DIRECTORY When this flag is turned on, GRAP and UNTAB will send their modified files to this directory leaving the original files unchanged. This option makes the use of an alternate extension optional. *LINELENGTH Enter the linelength that GRAP and UNTAB should preserve. When the maximum linelength is exeeded, the original line is written to the output file. *IMMEDIATE If this option is on, all files will automaticly be marked when selecting files. *VIEW View ProGRAP's setup. Shows all options which can be saved to the ProGRAP config file. *DEFAULT Use ProGRAP's default setup. This setup will be used when no ProGRAP config file is present. *LOAD Load a previous defined ProGRAP setup. When the ProGRAP config file exists, the file will be used at startup. Add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT : set prograp=drive:\path Replace drive:\path with the path where ProGRAP should look for its help and config file. *SAVE Save ProGRAP's current setup to 'C:PROGRAP.CFG'. This file will be used at startup. *SCREEN Ouput produced by one of the tools will only appear on the screen. This is the fastest means of output. *FILE Output produced by one of the tools will be sent to the screen and to a file *PRINTER Output produced by one of the tools will be sent to the screen and to the printer connected to the port selected under SETUP / PRINTER SETUP. Each line is always untabed and wrapped at the selected right margin. *CASE2 Select ON when sensitive search is to be in effect or OFF when each match is good. It slows down FGREP and GRAP when turned off. Wild characters can not be used if turned on. *TABWIDTH2 Replace tab's with this number of spaces. Range : 1 - 80. *WILDCHAR2 Wild character to be used in string search functions. Can only be used when case insensitive search is in effect. *EXTENSION2 Enter any valid DOS file-extension. *DIRECTORY2 Enter a valid path for GRAP and UNTAB output files. No filename allowed. ProGRAP will check if the path is valid. *USE EXTENSION2 Select YES if the original file has to be preserved by adding a different extension to the original filename. *USE DIRECTORY2 Select YES if you want the original file to be preserved. The output files of GRAP and UNTAB will be placed in the directory specified at DIRECTORY. Extension usage is optional. *LINELENGTH2 Enter the maximum linelength for GRAP and UNTAB. If this maximum length is exeeded the original line is written to the output file. Range : 1 - 512. *IMMEDIATE2 Select YES if you want the files to be selected automaticly when choose the option SELECT FILES. *FILESPEC Enter the file specification to search for. If no extention is given, fn.* is assumed. If no filename is given *.ext is assumed. Path or drive spe- cifications are not allowed. *OUTFILE The output file specification requires a valid dos path and filename. The given path must exist. The file will be created if not existing. *SEARCH Enter a string to search for. This string may be up to 44 characters long. The search for this line is affected by the case sensitive flag. "" And '' can be used as delimitters. They are needed when the last characters of the search string are blanks. "TEST " Will find only TEST folowed by two blanks. TEST Will find all appearances of TEST Conditional search : - Both conditions are set to OR The search is succesful when one of the three strings is found. - Condition 1 is set to OR and condition 2 set to AND The search is succesful when string 1 is found or when string 2 and 3 are found together. - Condition 1 is set to and and condition 2 set to OR The search is succesful when string 1 and 2 are found together or when string 3 is found. - Both conditions are set to AND The search is succesful when the three strings are found together. - Placement of parentheses. Makes only sence when condition 1 is not the same as contition 2. ex. (1 and 2) or 3 Finds 1 together with 2 or finds 3 1 and (2 or 3) Finds 1 together with 2 or finds 1 together with 3 *ORGTXT Enter the original text. GRAP will search for this line. The search for this line is affected by the case sensitive flag. This string may be up to 44 characters long. "" And '' can be used as delimitters. They are needed when the last characters of the search string are blanks. "TEST " Will find only TEST folowed by two blanks. TEST Will find all appearances of TEST *REPTXT Enter the replacement text. If a replacement causes the line to exeed the linelength defined, GRAP will preserve the original line. The replacement text may be up to 44 characters long. The replacement text is not affected by the case sensitive flag. If no text is entered, then the original string is replaced with the NULL string. "" And '' can be used as delimitters. They are needed when the last characters of the replacement string are blanks. *APPEND When this message appears, it means the result file already exists. There are two possibilities : YES - append the results to the existing file. NO - overwrite the existing result file. *CREATE The requested output directory does not exist. There are two possibilities : YES - create the directory. NO - do not create the directory. *FILE SELECTION Move the selection bar with the keys : HOME, END, Page Dn, Page Up, cursor up and down. Mark the files to be used by the tools with INS. The + key marks all the files shown (Same as the immediate select flag). The - key unselects all previous marked files. The * key inverts, all marked files become unselected and all unselected will be marked. All the files in a certain directory can be marked automaticly upon entry by turning the immediate select flag on. - [.] Returns to the root if selected. - [..] Select this to go up one directory. ESC brings you back to the menu. *DRIVE SELECTION Move the selection bar with the keys : HOME, END, Page Dn, Page Up, cursor up and cursor down. Select the drive you want to use and press the ENTER key. If ProGRAP is unable to select this drive, it will re-select the current drive if still valid. If more drives are shown then present, then add the line LASTDRIVE = to your config.sys file. If drive B is shown but not present, contact your local dealer (Wrong dip-switch settings). *EMB_SPC Should TAB preserve spaces which are embeded between single or double quotes ? It is not needed for regular text files but may be very impor- tant with program source files. *EMB_SPC2 Select YES if you want spaces between quotes to be converted to tab's or NO if they should be preserved. *RLFTBLNK Checks lines of the selected files for the presence of leading or trailing blanks and/or tabs. They are all removed up to the first character different from a blank or a tab character. *TOUPPER Converts each line for each of the selected files to uppercase characters. *TOLOWER Converts each line for each of the selected files to lowercase characters. *LEFTRGHT Remove leading or trailing blanks and/or tab's. Select wheather this should be done starting from the left (Leading) or starting from the right (Trailing) or both. Press the spacebar to toggle between left and right and hit return to start the tool. *TRUNC Truncate long lines to a given length. Shorter lines can be lengthened using a specified character. *MAXLEN Truncate lines longer than the length specified here. The lines will be truncated at the right side. The length should be in the range from 1 to 512. The default value is always 80. *FILLCHAR Define the character to be used when lines are to be filled up in case the line is shorter than the length used to truncate. Any ASCII character may be specified here. The default character is always a blank. *FILL Select wheather the line should be filled or not. Change from yes to no, using the spacebar. Pressing the enter key or cursor down key causes the program to start. The default is always set to NO. *PRNSETUP This form includes several parameters for printing selected files. - Number of lines per page - Top and bottom margins - Space between lines - Left and right margins Right margin is always active when output is sent to the printer. - Print page heading/footing ? Possible headers : - No headers - Pagenumbers - Filename and pagenumbers - Date and pagenumbers - Custom title and pagenumbers - Custom title - Print pagenumbers ? Includes date and time, the heading is printed in the middle. - Print linenumbers ? - Pause each printed page ? This is case of manual paperfeed. - Print formatting active. If this option is set to No, all the selected files are printed one after another without formfeeds at the end of each file. All the options on this form become active when this option is set to YES. - Printer port This will always be used, even when print formatting is not active. F2 lets you choose between LPTx and COMx. The COMx ports are initialized as follows : BAUD=9600 DATA=8 STOP=1 PARITY=none *HEADER Enter the text to be printed on top of each page. The text can maximum be thirty characters long. *FOOTER Enter the text to be printed at the bottom of each page. The text may be up to thirty characters long. *TIME_SET Should ProGRAP preserve the original time and date stamp given to an already existing file or should the system's time and date be used when a file is created. *TIME_SET2 Select YES if ProGRAP has to preserve the original date and time. Select NO when the system's time and date is to be used. This option is only useful when the extention and output directory swithes won't be used (Source and target file in the same directory, the target file receives the same name and extention as the source file). *DOS SHELL Start a DOS shell (COMMAND.COM is invoked). ProGRAP is halted and the DOS prompt will appear. When you are finished at the DOS prompt, type EXIT to return to ProGRAP. *SOUND Turn ProGRAP's sound ON or OFF. In case of errors, illegal actions.... *SOUND2 Select ON if you want sound if errors occur or illegal actions are made. Select OFF if no sound has to be produced at all. *TSCRAMBLE The selected files will scrambled with the password entered. The files will become unreadable. WARNING !!! If you forget your password, it will be very hard to recover your original file !!!! *TUNSCRAMBLE The selected files will unscrambled with the password entered. This is the opposite of SCRAMBLE. WARNING !!! Only the password used with SCRAMBLE will recover your original file !!!! *PASSWORD Enter your password and hit ENTER to start (un-)scrambling. You may may enter any character. *VSEARCH Enter a search text. Each found string be highlighted. Press Shift-F2 to turn off search.
