- USING THE VIEW PROGRAM
-
- To use this disc, merely change drives to your CD-ROM drive, then
- type "VIEW" in the root directory of the CD-ROM drive, then press
- enter. The VIEW program will then display a listing of the
- subdirectories and their description on the disc. Use the cursor
- keys to move the highlight bar up and down the screen, then press
- ENTER to change into any of the subdirectories. The VIEW program
- will then display a list of files within that particular
- subdirectory. (To return back to the subdirectory listing, press the
- ESCAPE key.)
-
- While in the list of files, the VIEW program can let you read a text
- file, uncompress a zipped file, or copy a file onto another drive.
-
- To read a text file, merely position the highlight bar onto the line
- with the filename you wish to read, then press ENTER. While reading
- the document, if you wish to search for a string, press either the
- "S" key, CONTROL-S (type "S" while holding down the Control key), or
- F9 then enter the string for which you wish to search. For further
- occurrences of the string, merely press the S key, CONTROL-S, or F9
- key. You may do reverse searches by pressing R, CONTROL-R, or F10 in
- the same manner.
-
- To uncompress a file, position the highlight bar onto the line with
- the filename you wish to uncompress, then press ENTER. The screen
- will change to ask you to where you wish to uncompress the file, the
- default being a directory on your C: drive. If you wish, you may
- edit this destination box. Press ENTER to begin uncompressing the
- file, or press ESCAPE to abort. After uncompressing, you will have
- the option to either exit out to the directory to which the VIEW
- program uncompressed the file, or to return to the menu; if you
- decide to return the menu, be sure to remember to where the file was
- uncompressed!
-
- To copy a file, position the highlight bar onto the line with the
- wish to copy, then press ENTER. The screen will change to ask you to
- where you wish to copy the file, the default being a directory on
- your C: drive. If you wish, you may edit this destination box.
- Press ENTER to copy the file, or press ESCAPE to abort. After
- copying, you will have the option to either exit out to the directory
- to which the VIEW program copied the file, or to return to the menu;
- if you decide to return the menu, be sure to remember to where the
- file was copied!
