- How do you command PC-Hypertext?
- ================================
-
- PC Hypertext includes two kinds of commands -- listed and unlisted.
-
- For the unlisted commands, toggle the F1 key to display the available
- keyboard (unlisted) commands. Similar context-relevant keyboard listings
- are available at any point in the program. For a permanent copy, press the
- Shift-PrtSc key to print a listing of the selected F1-key screens.
-
- As for the listed commands, they are displayed on the lower lines of the
- screen which lists the eight available commands of PC Hypertext. The
- currently selected command is highlighted with the description displayed
- on a subsequent line.
-
- To select listed commands, use the:
-
- ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ Spacebar Moves the command selector forward (highlight) │
- │ Backspace Moves the command selector backward (highlight) │
- │ Enter Selects the highlighted command │
- └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- As for the commands themselves, they are described as:
