<text><span class="style2">lease read before proceeding - also, please familiarize yourself withthe "Terms" of use by clicking the button below.</span><span class="style1">Using "Help Template":First, "Save a Copy..." of this original. You get to do lots of "customization" of this stack, and will want a fresh copy when you do a different help stack. I envision keeping a few copies of this around because there are a few visually different formats of stacks that I plan to deal with.Next, visit the "Background" card. You'll notice that as you enter it, you'll go into background editing mode, and as you leave it, you'll be out of background editing mode. Paste in the background buttons, fields, pictures, etc. Usually, some good buttons to have are arrows, home, print, find, etc. You need to make sure these have the scripts you want because they just get pasted onto the Help Stack that Help Template creates. About fields, if you have a field in the background named "ArticleName", Help Template will automatically fill it in on each card for you. Beware of adding too much into the background, because it limits the versatility of each of your article cards. Future versions of Help Template will support multiple backgrounds, each of which can be selected for a particular article.Now you're ready to visit the "Contents" card. On this card are three card fields, "subjectList", "articleList", and "subjectName". Feel free to change the position, size, and text characteristics of these fields. </span><span class="style2">Don't</span><span class="style1"> change the names of these fields or delete them. You can also add foreground graphics, buttons, or extra fields to this card. They will be copied over to the Help Stack. </span><span class="style2">Hint:</span><span class="style1"> make sure you adjust the size of the fields and the text within them so your Subject and Article names will each fit on one line. Note that the background of the "Contents" card is the one you created on the "Background" card, so you'll be able to see exactly how the contents card will turn out. I have "hidden" the scripts of the fields "articleList" and "subjectList" so if you accidently delete the fields, all you need to do is create new fields with appropriate names, and everything should work.The last step is to visit the "Help Maker" card. This card has a large scrolling field on the left of the screen, and some buttons on the right. You need to enter your Subject and Article names in this field as follows. Put one name per line. For each subject in your stack, you'll have one subject line followed by the articles for that subject. Each subject must have at least 1 article. This keeps the interface in your Help Stack consistent (i.e. the user chooses a subject, then an article - no surprises). Also, Help Template creates exactlty 1 card per article. It is good help stack practice to keep the card as the basic unit of information. Users typically don't like having to go through 5 cards to learn 1 basic idea. Users also don't like being blasted with 5 ideas on 1 card. Enter subject line is preceeded by a "S)" (no, don't type the quotes). The name of the subject starts immediately after the "S)". Similarly, each article line is preceeded by an "A)". You can insert blank lines if it helps readability, but they won't affect the resulting stack. The buttons on the right allow you some more specialized control over your Help Stack. The important button is the "Make Help" button. You will be prompted in a "Save As..." dialog for the name of the resulting stack. Help Template will then create the stack in a new window. You can now concentrate on putting good information into your help stack.Error checking (i.e. this stack checking your errors) is minimal in this first version. Future versions will be more friendly in telling you exactly what you need to do to your subject/article list, background card, and contents card to getyour stack created by Help Template. So, if things get screwed up, make a "fresh" copy of the original "Help Template" and start over.If you don't quite get what's going here, I suggest you create the help stack I designed as the "default" in this stack. Of course, if you've lost your original copy of this, you're out of luck.</span></text>

<text><span class="style2">erms of Use...</span><span class="style1">(click to make me go away)</span><span class="style2"></span><span class="style1">OK, I realize that few people like the whole ShareWare arrangement, and even fewer actually pay the requested fees. So this is "Hutch"-Ware. Basically, that's my term for the following:1. I'd like $25 for this stack from you.2. If you create anything commercial with this, I am hereby absolutely obligating you to send me the $25. By commercial, I mean for any business activity. If your paycheck somehow becomes tied to using this stack to create Help Stack(s), then I want the cash. Look, I probably spent 30 or 40 hours creating this stack. From personal experience, I can predict that it saved you on the order of 3 or 4 hours putting all the links of your stack together. To summarize, if you or anyone else is going to make money off of a stack created with this stack (and this would include "ShareWare") or there is any other commercial aspect to stacks created with it (like an "in-house" help stack you create to teach people in your company why Macs are better than PCs), send me $25.3. If you create a "FreeWare" help stack, please don't erase my name and program version from the top of the card script of the "Contents" card. This way, when someone goes prying to see how you did your links, they can get a little bit of information about this stack. If you're really cool, you'd send me a copy of your freeware stack!!!4. Oh yea, I should tell you how YOU benefit from registering with me by giving me $25 for the stack. I'm open to ideas and I'll read your experiences of creating help stacks. This way, I can update this stack to suit people's needs other than my own. In fact, if you send in $25 and a reasonable suggestion, I will do my best to incorporate it into the next version. My plan is to release at least 4 future versions. With the next 4 revisions, you will receive a disk in the mail. If I continue past your 4 revisions, I will mail a request for a very nominal update fee (maybe $5 at most) to cover mailing and disk costs. Of course, once you've paid, you can always leech it off someone else!!!5. If you redistribute this stack, make sure it's "like new", with the original help stack example ready to be created, with the instrcutions intact, and with this release notice. Feel free to pad your upload ratios on local BBSs with this stack. That way, more people can get ahold of it!!! How to send me $25: Make a check or money order payable to: Brad Hutchings Mail it to: Brad. Hutchings 128 Saint Charles Court Danville, CA 94526[note: this is my parents address, since as a student at UC Irvine, I tend to move at least every year!!]Please put in a note telling me what improvements you'd like to see, and alsowhat version you have, cuz if you don't have the current one, I'll send it to you.</span></text>
