SHORTHAND FOR WINDOWS
Version 4.0 (SHAREWARE Version)
WHAT'S NEW
----------
Shorthand Version 4.0 is designed to run under Windows 95.
Shorthand Version 4.0 will also work with Windows 3.1 if you
have the Microsoft Win32s drivers installed on your system.
If you are using Windows 3.1, you should use Shorthand Version 3.0
which may be available on the bulletin board from which you
got this file (look for the file SH30.ZIP or SHORTHND.ZIP).
If you are a current user of Shorthand, please see the
SHORTHND.WRI file for a description of new features and
upgrade pricing.
INTRODUCTION
------------
Shorthand is a typing productivity tool designed to work concurrently
with most Microsoft Windows applications. Just as a stenographer
uses shorthand notation to represent words and phrases, Shorthand
allows you to represent a string of text with a much shorter
abbreviation or keyword. Instead of typing the text string,
you type the shorter keyword and Shorthand takes care of typing
the text string into your application. For example, you can
represent the phrase "as soon as possible" with the keyword "asap."
The next time you need to type the phrase "as soon as possible" into
your favorite Windows word processor, you simply type "\asap", press
the Enter key, and Shorthand types "as soon as possible" right into
your Windows word processor. The leading "\" is a hot key character
that signals Shorthand that you are about to type a keyword. (You
can change the hot key character to another character if you wish.)
Shorthand works with most Windows word processors, text editors and
even text fields in most Windows dialog boxes. A good illustration
of the flexibility of Shorthand is the common (and tedious) procedure
of entering e-mail addresses. With Shorthand, you first enter the
e-mail address and a unique keyword into Shorthand's dictionary.
The next time you need to type the address, just activate Shorthand,
type the keyword and Shorthand will type the address for you!
