%C%%H2%How to read this file
Read this file before you start playing with PipeDream. You can scroll
through the document by using the up and down arrow keys, the Page Up
and Page Down keys or clicking in the scroll bar on the right hand
side of the window.
%C%%H2%Once PipeDream is loaded
PipeDream is loaded when the blue PipeDream icon is visible on the icon
bar at the bottom of your screen. To start a new window click the left
button of the mouse on the PipeDream icon.
Pressing the middle, or Menu button, of the mouse whilst the blue
pointer arrow is over a PipeDream window will give you the top-level
PipeDream menu.
Pressing the Menu button on the PipeDream icon gives you a further list
of options with which you may experiment.
%C%%H2%Help
A short help file is available by pressing the F1 key. This will help
you to get started.
%C%%H2%Once you have a new window
When you have a new window, you can start typing. To type text, as you
would in a letter, just type away. To enter a number into the
spreadsheet, press the F2 key, and type in your expression. When you
press RETURN, the result of the calculation will be displayed in the
slot.
Use the left and right buttons on the mouse to position the caret in a
slot.
%C%%H2%PipeDream commands
PipeDream has three ways of accepting commands:
1.
2.
3.
%C%%H2%Long and Short Menus
When you start PipeDream, the short menus are switched on. This makes
the menus clearer and more readable. To access the complete range of
PipeDream commands, select long menus by clicking the left button of
the mouse on the "Short Menus" option in the "Files" menu.
On the long menus, the function key equivalent of the commands is also
shown, if there is one.
Facilities not available
The demonstration version of PipeDream has the spelling checker, file
saving, printing and searching disabled.
The LOTUS 123 to PipeDream converter program and the Z88 filing system

%C%%H2%Example files
There are several example files in the "documents" directory on the
demonstration disk. You can load a PipeDream file into PipeDream by
double-clicking on the icon of the file. PipeDream files have the
PipeDream icon displayed by their side.
Experiment with the example files: these will give you an idea of some
of the amazing documents you can create with PipeDream 3.
%C%%H2%A final note
When using the demonstration version of PipeDream, please remember that
you don't have the reference manual available. The reference manual
includes a full step-by-step tutorial and a large reference section.
There is obviously no space here to explain the finer features and
facilities in PipeDream - you will only get the full benefit by working
with the manual, but the demonstration should give you some idea of
PipeDream's impressive capabilities.
