- Instructions to use a Turbo Vision application - RAMANCFG
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Finding your way around a Turbo Vision application is a little different than
- most others. To use the main menu bar directly, you must press F10. Otherwise,
- you can call one of the menus by holding down ALT and pressing the appropriate
- hotkey. You can move around the menus using the standard cursor keys. However,
- once you get into one of the windows such as File Options, that is where the
- similarity ends. There are two types of windows used in RAMANCFG. The first
- uses Check Boxes, and the second uses Input Lines. Check Boxes are used under
- the Options menu. When you first get into one of these windows, you will notice
- three distinct fields. The first is the check boxes themselves, and the most
- obvious. The second is the green rectangle which says 'Accept' and the third is
- the green rectangle which says 'Discard.' To move among these three fields, you
- use the TAB key. When you are in the Check Box field, use the cursor keys to
- move up and down the list of items. The space bar toggles each item ON
- (denoted by a 'X') and OFF. When you are finished, either move to the 'Accept'
- field and press Enter, or simply press Enter from the check boxes. Pressing the
- ESCape key will discard any changes you made.
-
- The second type of window used are Input Lines, which are found just about
- everywhere else. To move around between the various input lines, press the
- TAB key. The same principle of saving/discarding the changes that is used with
- the check boxes applies here as well. Note that if you want to change several
- items that use Input Lines, move to the next one by pressing the TAB key. If
- you press Enter, the changes will be accepted and the window will disappear.
-
- If this sounds confusing, don't worry. You will see exactly what I mean once
- you run RAMANCFG. I know the commands are a little different than most other
- configuration programs, but you will be surprised at how fast you get used to
- it. RAMAN is probably not like any program you've ever used before anyway. :-)
