<BOOKMARKS>
SET a bookmark cHome
RETURN to the bookmark cEnd
Bookmarks save the file you're in plus your location in that file. They are
saved across files, so if you switch to another file you can still return to
the bookmarked file with cEnd. Bookmarks are user-defined. PC-Browse never
sets one on its own.

At the DOS prompt or in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
For Example: SET BR=/0:112 (window frame attribute)

Filename is optional
For Example: BR HAMLET /C: (load Hamlet, color monitor)
4. Within a file.
Syntax: [BR=/parameter1 /parameter2 /parameter3]
Parameter definition should be on the first line of the file.

<HOTKEYS (DEFAULT)>
From within your application you can pop up PC-Browse by pressing one of six
hotkeys. The default hotkeys and what they do follow:
Press: To Do:
scF1 Pop-up PC-Browse and display the last window viewed.
scF2 Pop-up PC-Browse and do a lookup search on the word at the cursor
in the underlying application.
scF3 Pop-up PC-Browse and do a linear search on the word at the
cursor in the underlying application.
scF7 Paste designated text into host application. (see Pasting)
Has no action when a paste is not pending.
scF8 Pop-up PC-Browse and prompt for a directory specification.
Show by default the last path accessed plus *.*
scF9 Pop-up PC-Browse and prompt for Find text.
scF10 Pop-up PC-Browse and display the first page of the PC-Browse file.
You can assign the various ways of popping up PC-Browse to different
hotkeys. For more information see Bringing Up PC-Browse[?BREF.BRS] and Customizing
(Press F10 to return to the Help Index Page)
(or F4 to return to the previous view)
<HYPERTEXT>
Hypertext is text that has been cross-referenced such that one part of the
text (a "trigger") points to another part (a "target") which contains more
detailed information about the subject at hand.
<TRIGGER VS. TARGET>
A TRIGGER is a word or phrase about which there is more information
somewhere else in the document(s). It is like a springboard from which you
leap to "target" text containing more information. For more about triggers
see Defining A Trigger
A TARGET is identical to its corresponding trigger (except its delimiters)
and is either part of a block of text or the title of a page which has
detailed information about a word or phrase ("trigger") somewhere else in
the document(s). For more about targets see Defining A Target
For a general discussion of this topic see Links Between Files[?BREF.BRS]
(Press F10 to return to the Help Index Page)
(or F4 to return to the previous view)
<DEFINING A TRIGGER>
There are two ways to define a trigger depending on whether the search for
the target text will be a linear search or a lookup search.
1. TO DEFINE A LINEAR SEARCH TRIGGER:
- Define the keyword trigger start.end delimiters [/J:]
(see Defining Parameters and Hypertext Delimiters)
- Place those delimiters around the trigger word or phrase.
- If the corresponding "target" text is in another file you may
place the name of that file after the trigger inside brackets [].
Precede the filename with a ? mark if you want it to be hidden.
For example <trigger>[otherfile]
<trigger>[?hiddenfile]
2. TO DEFINE A LOOKUP SEARCH TRIGGER:
- Define the lookup trigger start.end delimiters [/K:]
(see Defining Parameters and Hypertext Delimiters)
- Place those delimiters around the trigger word or phrase.
- If the corresponding "target" text is in another file you may
place the name of that file after the trigger inside brackets [].
Precede the filename with a ? mark if you want it to be hidden.
For example <trigger>[otherfile]
<trigger>[?hiddenfile]
(Press F10 to return to the Help Index Page)
(or F4 to return to the previous view)
<DEFINING A TARGET>
1. Define the target start.end delimiters.
(see Defining Parameters and Hypertext Delimiters)
2. Place those delimiters around the target word or phrase.
Note: It is a good idea to separate targets and the text associated with
them from other target text with a page break (ASCII code 12).
(Press F10 to return to the Help Index Page)
(or F4 to return to the previous view)
<LINEAR SEARCH>
This type of search reads through the document from start to finish (or
from the cursor to finish) looking for target text matching the trigger.
see also Normal Search[?BREF.BRS]
<LOOKUP SEARCH>
This is a very fast search which depends on the document having been
specially prepared for it. For more information see Keyword Searches[?BREF.BRS].

(or F4 to return to the previous view)
<LOADING A FILE>
TO LOAD A FILE INTO THE BROWSE WINDOW:
F6 Type in the name of the file you want to load, then press Enter,
For example: MYFILE.DOC
If the file is not in the current directory or it's on another
drive then type that information in as well, then press Enter.
For example: \PCW\MYFILE.DOC
A:MYFILE.DOC

You can also get a listing of files matching a certain file specification,
e.g., a directory, then select a file to load from the list. For information
on listing files see Files (directory)
(Press F10 to return to the Help Index Page)
(or F4 to return to the previous view)
<LOCATION MARKER>
Press: To Do:
sF9 Add your current location to the location list
as a protected location.
F4 Move to and display the PREVIOUS location on the location list.
F5 Move to and display the NEXT location on the location list.
sF4 Display the contents of the location list.
Location markers save the file you're in plus your location in that file.
They are saved across files so that by pressing F4 you can go back to the
previous location even if it is in another file. Location markers are also
set by the following operations.
- Grey+ search forward (successfully) for text at the F9 Find prompt.
- Grey- search backward (successfully) for text at the F9 Find prompt.
- F9 F2 lookup search (successful) on text at the F9 Find prompt.
- F9 F3 keyword search (successful) on text at the F9 Find prompt.
- Enter after highlighting a keyword or lookup search trigger.
