TaskMan v1.2
(c)1993 Pelican Software Inc.
P.O.Box 741072
Houston, Tx. 77274-1072
Thanks to Wolfgang Shirmer for writing the new feature in Taskman 1.2
**********************************************************************
New in TM 1.2
. Press the first key of the process you want to jump to and the
list will scroll to that item. If there is more than one process
with the same first letter, pressing that letter will jump between
all occurances.
For example, if you have three Word files on the task list, you can
jump between them on the list by just pressing the <w> key.
Taskman v1.2 is an application that runs on the Psion Series 3a computer.
The basic function of Tm is to facilitate fast switching between
applications. This is done by polling the S3a for a list of all running
applications, or processes. (The two words are used synonymously.) This
list is then put on the screen in a scrolling list format. Using the up and
down arrows you can go to the process you want to switch to and press
Enter. (or use the menu for other options.)
The key to making TM work in the most efficient way is to assign it a
hotkey from the system screen using Psion<A>. For example, if you don't
use the Spreadsheet often you can reassign the Spreadsheet icon to TaskMan.
This makes switching applications faster than going to the system screen
to see what apps are open. It was modeled after the Task list in
Windows.
Installation:
The installation is very simple. Just copy the Taskman.opa file into any
\app directory on your S3a. From the system screen press Psion<I> to
install an application. Find Taskman.opa and press "Enter". That's it.
You're ready to run TaskMan 1.2.
The options in TM are very self explanatory. TM also has online
help so if you're not sure how something works press the <Help>
key.
Options:
. Jump to a process Psion<J>, Enter key
. Rename a process Psion<R>
. Kill a process Psion<K>, Delete key
. Set refresh rate Psion<S>
. Dump Bird (set screen size) Psion<D>, tab key
. Define <Esc> key Psion<E>
. Version Psion<V>
. About Psion<A>
. Exit Psion<X>
The memory bar at the bottom of the screen will show you what
percentage of your Internal memory is already being used.
