- ADDITIONS TO THE MANUAL:
-
- Table 3.1

- Ctrl+E edit the currently running lecture file
-
-
- Chapter 3.a (new)
-
- Restart a presentation
-
- Choose the "File/Restart" menu item to start over at the beginning of a
- lecture file. Lecture will immediately interpret commands in the file.
-
-
- Chapter 3.b (new)
-
- Edit a lecture file
-
- Choose the "File/Edit file" menu item or press Ctrl+E to edit the
- currently running lecture file. Lecture will stop processing and display
- the file in NotePad so you can edit it. Note: you can use a different
- editor program if you wish. See below for details.
-
-
- Chapter 4.1.2
-
- Editor=WindowsDirectory\NOTEPAD.EXE
- When you choose the "File/Edit file" menu item or press Ctrl+E, Lecture
- will tell NotePad to bring up the currently running file for editing. By
- default, the program expects to find NOTEPAD.EXE in the main Windows
- directory. This entry tells it to call on the services of a different
- editor, or you can optionally specify where to find NotePad if you moved
- it to a different directory or renamed it.
-
-
- Chapter 5.3.4 (ColorBackground command)
-

-
- Example ColorBackground Default
-
-
- Chapter 5.3.21 (RunFile command)
-
- Comments if you don't specify a drive/directory for the file, Lecture
- will search for it in the following places:
- 1. the current directory;
- 2. the directory where LECTURE.EXE resides;
- 3. each directory on the DOS PATH (consult your DOS or
- Windows manual for details about the PATH command).
-
- Chapter 5.a (new)
-
- _DEFAULT.LEC file
-
- Whenever you specify a lecture file to run, Lecture searches for a default
- file called _DEFAULT.LEC. The program will search for this file in the
- following places:
-
- 1. the default directory;
- 2. the directory where LECTURE.EXE resides;
- 3. each directory on the DOS PATH (consult your DOS or Windows manual
- for details about the PATH command).
-
- If Lecture finds _DEFAULT.LEC, it processes it before processing the
- lecture file. You can set default fonts & colors, turn off sound effects,
- and so on.
-
- Note: Lecture only processes _DEFAULT.LEC once during a presentation; it
- doesn't process the file again if you specify a RunFile command.
-
-
- Appendix A
-
- Couldn't find NOTEPAD.EXE. Would you like to specify an editor program
- for future reference?
- * You chose to edit the currently running lecture file but Lecture
- couldn't find NOTEPAD.EXE in the main Windows directory. (You may
- have moved it to a different directory, deleted the file, or renamed
- it.) If you specify an editor program here, Lecture will add it to
- LECTURE.INI (see above for details).
-
- RunFile command exceeds the maximum allowable 'nested' level. Continue?
- * A RunFile command can name a lecture file with its own RunFile
- commands, but you cannot "nest" these commands more than four levels
- (counting the original lecture file which first executed a RunFile).
-
-
- Appendix B.2
-
- "I want to put the program on a floppy and have it automatically execute a
- specific lecture file also on the floppy. How can I do this?"
- You can either name the lecture file _DEFAULT.LEC, or you can include a
- simple _DEFAULT.LEC file with a RunFile command in it.
