- Welcome to this edition of T O T A L L Y A M O S.
-
- We hope you enjoy it and will get in touch with us with your contributions
- and ideas.

-
- The magazine is divided into sections to make it easier to read. On
- loading, you see the main index, to go into one of the subsections e.g.
- REVIEWS, look at its number and click on the numbered buttons, in this
- case, 5. a red light will indicate that you've clicked on a button,
- then click on the RETURN button (looks like Return key on your Amiga!)
-
- From the main index you are taken to the section index, here you can
- choose the article you want to read.
-
- Click on the numbers as before.
-
- Clicking on the MAIN MENU button will take you to the previous index
- section, so if you want to get back to the main contents page from
- inside an article, click here twice.
-
- When the article has come onto the screen, you can control it as
- follows:-
-
- Use the arrows on the left of the screen to scroll through the text.
- Clicking the LEFT mouse scrolls a line at a time, the RIGHT mouse button
- will take you directly to the start or end of an article depending on
- the arrow you clicked on.
-
- The arrows will indicate if there is text above and/or below the
- viewing area by flashing in the relevant direction.
-
- If there are viewable files in the section you're reading, a 'light'
- will flash on the 'Requester' icon, which is on the right of the control
- panel.
-
- The music can be switched off and on by pressing `M' on the keyboard.
- The music you hear is the file included in the music section.
-
- There are a couple of new features which were not available in the last
- issue. You can now print out the article you are reading (NOT AN
- INDEX!) This is done by pressing 'P' when the article is in view. Don't
- panic if you press it by mistake as an alert box gives you the option to
- exit.
-
- If you are having trouble reading the multicolour text, then pressing
- "C" will give you a two colour reading screen. As far as we know, all
- the bad colour combinations that were hard to read on a monitor have now
- been sorted out, unless you know differently!
-
- We think that's all you need to know, we hope you'll enjoy this issue,
- and become a regular reader!
-
- Len and Anne Tucker.
