 Doodle Mode 

Most of your time with ANSI Doodle will probably be spent in Doodle mode.
Doodle Mode is the main mode of ANSI Doodle.  This is where you'll do all of
your doodling... (i.e. drawing pretty pictures...)  Here is a basic run down
of all the commands:

˘ #(0-9) -=> Each number prints a different charactor.  You can see what
  character corresponds to what number by looking at the upper left of your 
  screen.

˘ J,L,I, and K -=> These keys are your arrow keys for operating ANSI Doodle
  remotely. When running ANSI Doodle locally both these keys AND the
  arrow keys will work.

˘ C -=> This will allow you to change your current set.  A "set" is a group
  of ten characters.  When you first run ANSI Doodle the default is
  set #1 which has the 10 characters you see at the upper left of your 
  screen now.  When you hit "C," just enter a number between 1 and 10 and a 
  new set of characters will appear in the upper left part of your screen.

˘ P + #(1-7) -=> This allows you to change the current doodle/write color.
  Just as in a regular Hermes post, you hit P then a number from 1-7 for the
  color you want.  No Control-P is needed.

˘ W -=> Transfers you into Write Mode.  This will be explained later.

˘ Message -=> Here will appear important information for you to read.

˘ A -=> Moves cursor to upper left
  X -=> Moves cursor to lower right
  Z -=> Moves cursor to lower left
  S -=> Moves cursor to upper right
  [ -=> Moves cursor to begining of the line
  ] -=> Moves cursor to the end of the line

˘ V -=> Prompts you to erase current Doodle and start again.

˘ H -=> Displays this help file. (Caution: It also ERASES current Doodle!)

˘ Q -=> Quits ANSI Doodle v1.0


 Write Mode 

Message: Ox = eXit, Op = Color, & Ob = Backspace

Ox means Option-x, Op means Option-p, etc.

Write Mode is for all the things you can't do in Doodle Mode, such as regular
typing. It is not very efficient though.  You'll see when you try to type.
Even the slowest typer should be able to surpass the speed of ANSI Doodle's
Write Mode (remotely, of course).

˘ Option-X -=> Transfers you back into Doodle Mode

˘ Option-P -=> Changes color while in Write Mode.  It works just as it did 
  in Doodle Mode.

˘ Option-B -=> Since the <- Back Space key on your keyboard does not work in
  Write Mode, you need to hit Option-B if you make a mistake typing.  This 
  forces what is called a "non-destructive" backspace.  It will move the 
  cursor back one space without deleting anything.


 Notes 

At the present time there is no way to save your work in ANSI Doodle. This is
a feature I hope to add with the next version.  For now, if you wish to show
off your work, copy it to your clipboard, then paste it in a post or e-mail. 
Of course, the color will not be saved using this method.  This is why I want 
to add a saving/recalling feature to ANSI Doodle v1.1.

ANSI Doodle was made to be a "fun" external, nothing more.  I did it mainly to 
learn some more ANSI Codes...all in the hope of maybe, someday, making an ANSI
Full Screen Editor for Hermes.  I realize I have a long way to go.
