CREATE A NEW BOOK? Experiment with creating and programming objects in a book. @CCancel ~@OOK New... Chicago p?0v` p?0|0 s>|~? <This book presents several complete applications. While they ?are not nearly as flashy or as interesting as applications that 7are use many pages, we hope they indicate the diversity ?of applications that you can make with Helm. These applications ?use scripts sparingly and were, in fact, quite easy to make. If ;you want to see how they were made, activate an object with Cthe Selection Tool of the Draw Tools Window and then select Actions... Script... from the Object menu. Simple Applications Menu @PPaint Program @EExample Database @KPiano Keyboard @CCalculator @DDirectory Utility @aCalendar Use the Draw tools to create objects that rest on a page or a form. These objects include $shapes, buttons, textfields imagefields selectors , and timer objects . Any object that rests on a form, especially textfields, can be shared or nonshared. Nonshared text- fields have different text on each page of that form. Selection Tool Curve Ellipse Irregular Polygon Button Imagefield Selector Timer Browse Tool Line Rectangle Regular Polygon Arrow Textfield Chart PIP Object *Draw Tools (Very, very, very important!!!) Use a tool from the Paint tools window to paint on an image inside an imagefield. Like the Draw tools, many of the icons have pop-up menus or windows that appear when you click on the icon with the menu (right) mouse button. When you are using a paint tool, the Image, Paint, and Brush menus are available. Brush Indicator Select a built-in brush with the pop-up menu. Create user- defined brushes tool. Use the Animation Frame Controls to flip through the frames of an imagefield that contains more than one image frame. Painting Tools Browse Paint Tools AYou can easily hook a list of actions to an object, menu item, or ?hypertext. You simply drag actions from a catalog list and drop Athem into an action list that executes the actions asynchronously <when you select the object in a designated way. You then set 9some parameters for each action. NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED. Blackboard - Displays text in a timed window. <CDTV Audio - Selects and plays tracks from an audio CD disc. 'Execute - Runs an AREXX or DOS program. +Flip - Changes the frames in an imagefield. 1Genlock - Sends commands to an available genlock. "Go To - Turns to a specified page. .Helm Command - Executes a Helm system command. 9Layers - Uses a visual effect to change layer visibility. Move - Moves an object. Music - Plays a SMUS file. ,Musical Notes - Plays notes entered as text. Narration - Sends notes to the Amiga Narrator if available. *Picture - Displays a picture or animation. %Scroll - Scrolls text in a textfield. -Serial - Sends codes through a serial device. Sound - Plays an 8SVX file. Test Pattern - Displays color bars for adjusting video output. - Displays a textfile. Touch Tones - Dials a telephone. 1Visibility - Changes the visibility of an object. Multimedia Actions 8 Action Catalog (Press Red Hypertext to Activate Action) #This is a Blackboard Help message. 14520623 Oregon Hill Cable This is the Amiga speaking. ?If you do not find an action that does just what you need, then Ayou attach a script to an object, menu item, or hypertext. Helm's 7scripting language uses object-oriented features and an 1English-like syntax to make programming a breeze. ?You enclose blocks of script statements in event functions 4which are control structures that determine when the =statements will execute. Helm also converts data dynamically, <so you never have to worry about converting between strings, %integers, and floating point numbers. Scripts @EEvent Functions @SScript Example @HHow to Program =This Demonstration Book introduces you to Helm, its purposes, ;and tells you a little about how to use it. Once you become ;familiar with the basic ways to make Helm books, you should >try it yourself. Go to the Main Menu and click on Create Book. 8Then you can design your applications with what you have learned here. :We encourage you to move freely through this book, turning <from page to page and clicking on buttons. But if you really <want to learn Helm, you should take particular notice of the Draw tools window, activated by choosing Draw Tools in the :Tools pull-down menu. With this one window, you can select 7the tools to browse through a book, create objects, and 4manipulate objects. Once you understand these tools, =particularly the Browse and Selection Tools, you will be well "on your way to understanding Helm. ?Another thing that you must understand is that a Helm book file =stays open the entire time that you are using that book. When 9you make a change in the book, like moving an object with @the Selection tool, that change will be automatically saved into ?the book file. There is no need, and no way, to explicitly save a book; it is done for you. >In this book, many buttons will turn to other pages. To return <to the previously displayed page, select the angled arrow in @the top right corner of the screen. If you get lost in the book, =select the Menu button which is also in the top right corner. <The Example Database application consists of four pages that ;use a single form. If you turn from page to page many times =in this form, the angled return arrow obviously will not send @you back to the applications menu. Select the lower right button on these pages to do that. @Red text is hypertext. When you click on this text, Helm will do +something, usually turning to another page. @This book has the Cannot Modify property active. This means that @you cannot alter the book. If you want to change the book or use >it as the basis of your own book applications, then you should Dfirst deselect Cannot Modify in the Book Information requester, 5opened by choosing in the Author menu.

The textfields support color and style font, color, and style changes; color fonts; mouse scrolling; transparent backgrounds; hypertext; and more. The textfields have everything you need to create video and multimedia presentations with ease. Lydia swung away, close-hauled , clawing her way up to windward of the flaming wreck. Hornblower gazed back at her. There were bright flames now to be seen, spouting from the shattered bows -- the red glow was reflected in the heaving sea around her. And then, as they looked, they saw the flames vanish abruptly, like an extinguished candle. There was nothing to be seen at all, nothing save darkness and the faint glimmer of the wave crests. The seas had swallowed the Natividad before the flames could destroy her. from Beat to Quarters C. S. Forester Textfields PCECIL SCOTT FORESTER (1899-1965), British Novelist. Created the character of Horatio Hornblower in a series of novels that take place during the wars with France (1793-1815). These novels are noted for their vivid descriptions of square-rigger seamanship and the complex Hornblower character. iCLOSE-HAULED, having the sails trimmed so that the ship proceeds as close to the wind as possible. on SelectUp begin NHORATIO HORNBLOWER Captain of His Majesty's Frigate Lydia. on SelectUp begin IWILLIAM BUSH First Lieutenant of His Majesty's frigate Lydia on SelectUp begin An imagefield is an object that contains one or more image frames. You can paint on the image with the paint tools. You can also animate an imagefield or use it as a button. Try the imagefield slider to the left or press down on the lamp with the selection (left) mouse button. Imagefields Selectors are control panels used for specialized input. Many selectors offer ways of selecting an item in a list; you can attach actions or a script to each item and to the selector as a whole. Other selectors, like file selectors, perform unque functions that would be difficult for you to program on your own.

(2) Scripts consist of functions. (3) Event functions show Helm how to respond to specified events. (4) Events are created when the user interacts with the objects in a book. HOW TO PROGRAM +1. Create an object, such as a button, with 1a tool chosen from the Draw tools window *2. Choose the Selection tool from the Draw tools window to edit the object. &3. Double click the object to edit the (object's name and change its settings in +the object's info window. Then select Exit. &4. With the object still active -- the 'control points are visible on an active *object -- choose Script... from the Object &pull down menu; the Script Editor will )open. (You could also have chosen Actions +to attach a simple multimedia action list.) %5. Determine which event you want the !object to respond to and enter it $followed by "begin" into the editor. )6. Enter the body of your event function, (followed by "end" to indicate the end of %the function. Then choose OK from the $editor pull-down menu to compile the )script and leave the editor. YOU'RE DONE! 37.

I called to the other men that the sky was clearing, and then a moment later I realized that what I had seen was not a rift in the clouds but the white crest of an enormous wave. During twenty-six years' experience of the ocean in all its moods I had not encountered a wave so gigantic. It was a mighty upheaval of the ocean, a thing quite apart from the big white-capped seas that had been our tireless enemies for many days. I shouted, "For God's sake, hold on! It's got us!" Then came a moment of suspense that seemed drawn out into hours. White surged the foam of the breaking sea around us. We felt our boat lifted and flung forward like a cork in breaking surf. We were in a seething chaos of tortured water; but somehow the boat lived through it, half full of water, sagging to the dead weight and shuddering under the blow. We baled with the energy of men fighting for life, flinging the water over the sides with every receptacle that came to our hands, and after ten minutes of uncertainty we felt the boat renew her life beneath us. She floated again and ceased to lurch drunkenly as though dazed by the attack of the sea. Earnestly we hoped that never again would we encounter such a wave. The conditions in the boat, uncomfortable before, had been made worse by the deluge of water. All our gear was thoroughly wet again. Our cooking stove had been floating about in the bottom of the boat, and portions of our last hoosh seemed to have permeated everything. Not until 3 A.M., when we were all chilled almost to the limit of endurance, did we manage to get the stove alight and make ourselves hot drinks. The carpenter [McCarthy] was suffering particularly, but he showed grit and spirt. Vincent had for the past week ceased to be an active member of the crew, and I could not easily account for his collapse. Physically he was one of the strongest men in the boat. He was a young man, he had served on North Sea trawlers, and he should have been able to bear hardships better than McCarthy, who, not so strong, was always happy. The weather was better on the following day (May 6), and we got a glimpse of the sun. Worsley's observation showed that we were not more than a hundred miles from the northwest corner of South Georgia. Two more days with a favorable wind and we would sight the promised land. from SOUTH (1920) by Ernest Shackleton
