Ideas on how to use the Front Page News 1991:
There are so many articles that one can not expect to page
through all the articles. First you need to decide what sort
of information you are looking for.
As an example, you may want background information on
Patrick Buchanan who is running against Bush for the
Republican Presidential Nomination. In articles he may be
referred to as Patrick Buchanan or Pat Buchanan, but
first try searching for "Buchanan". This is accomplished by
clicking on the "Search" button in the "Navigation" window
(a small rectangular window on the right side of your
screen) or by pressing command key and "S". A Search dialog
will now appear. Now type in "Buchanan" (omit the quotes)
into the first Search box and press return or (Search). Next
a "Hit List" window appears which tells you how many
articles mention "Buchanan" and a list of articles is built in
this window. A "hit" is an article that mentions "Buchanan"
and a "hit list" is list of those articles. Once your cursor
changes back to normal (non-waiting) you can scroll through
the list of "hits" and double click on any one to view. You
can now try to narrow down your search by typing in more
words into the "Search" dialog, such as Patrick Buchanan;
or Pat Buchanan. See "help" under "Apple" menu for
more complex searches.
Searching for dates in the Front Page News 1991:
Do a "Search" as before, a date is in the form "11/28/91"
(with no quotes) the date searched for would be November
28th. Each date will have many articles and should be
used in conjunction with other search words.
Help is available under the "Apple" Menu.
