-
- Thanks to Wolfgang Shirmer for writing the new feature in Taskman 1.2
- **********************************************************************
-
-
- New in TM 1.2
-
- . Press the first key of the process you want to jump to and the
- list will scroll to that item. If there is more than one process
- with the same first letter, pressing that letter will jump between
- all occurances.
-
- For example, if you have three Word files on the task list, you can
- jump between them on the list by just pressing the <w> key.
-
- Taskman v1.2 is an application that runs on the Psion Series 3a computer.
- The basic function of Tm is to facilitate fast switching between
- applications. This is done by polling the S3a for a list of all running
- applications, or processes. (The two words are used synonymously.) This
- list is then put on the screen in a scrolling list format. Using the up and
- down arrows you can go to the process you want to switch to and press
- Enter. (or use the menu for other options.)
-
-
- The key to making TM work in the most efficient way is to assign it a
- hotkey from the system screen using Psion<A>. For example, if you don't
- use the Spreadsheet often you can reassign the Spreadsheet icon to TaskMan.
- This makes switching applications faster than going to the system screen
- to see what apps are open. It was modeled after the Task list in
- Windows.
-
- Installation:
-
- The installation is very simple. Just copy the Taskman.opa file into any
- \app directory on your S3a. From the system screen press Psion<I> to
- install an application. Find Taskman.opa and press "Enter". That's it.
- You're ready to run TaskMan 1.2.
-
-
- The options in TM are very self explanatory. TM also has online
- help so if you're not sure how something works press the <Help>
- key.
-
- Options:
-
- . Jump to a process Psion<J>, Enter key
- . Rename a process Psion<R>
- . Kill a process Psion<K>, Delete key
- . Set refresh rate Psion<S>
- . Dump Bird (set screen size) Psion<D>, tab key
- . Define <Esc> key Psion<E>
- . Version Psion<V>
- . About Psion<A>
- . Exit Psion<X>
-
-
- The memory bar at the bottom of the screen will show you what
- percentage of your Internal memory is already being used.
