- PullUp
- By Terry Adams
- Version 1.00
- ==============
-
-
- This Program is a time saving utility. It allows you to setup
- quick methods of running programs. It does this by allowing
- the creation of bars just above the icon bar. You can then
- add files to these bars.
-
- Simply that's it but there are more advanced features such as :
- The ability to sort the items
- The ability to create a series of submenus in the bars
- The ability to perform *commands instead of running a program
-
- What to do....
- ==============
- Firstly run the program.
- This will show you the setup I have on my machine. It has
- quite a few bars some with quite a few sub menus on.
-
- Once you have played with it simply copy the program to a
- hardisc or something that can be writable then delete the
- file PullDown inside the directory (Hold shift and double click
- if you don't know how to get inside)
- Alternatively you can delete each bar by following the below
- instructions then saving the data.
-
- Instructions.

- Press select on any of the bars to bring up a menu of items.
- To run an object from the menu just click select on it.

- Object Editing window
- =====================
- From the object information window any changes you make will
- not be made until you OK the changes.
- Selecting cancel will stop any changes from being made.
-
- The name and the path can be changed from this window.
- The object action allows you to set a different action than
- running the program when you select it.
- The normal setting is Filer_Run.
- If you set *Command then the object path will be the *command
- when you select it.
- Do nothing does literally this. I use this for some sub menus
- when I don't want them to be run.
-
- The object type doesn't do anything at the moment.
-
-
- Advanced features.
- ==================
-
- How do I create a sub menu or add to an existing sub menu?
- ==========================================================
- Bring up the bar control menu and go into the sub menu
- "Add under".
- Either select "Top" to add to the top menu or "Sub Item" to
- add to/create a sub menu.
- If you select "Sub Item" the bar menu will come up. Select
- the item you wish to create under/add under. The program
- will confirm this is what you wish to do then create it if
- necessary.
-
- How do I find out where any files will be added under?
- ======================================================
- Bring up the bar control menu and go into the sub menu
- "Add under".
- The bottom item which is greyed is the item any files
- will be added under. It will either show (Top) or ("Item").
-
-
- How do I change the font type and size?
- =======================================
- I havn't got around to making an easy method of doing this
- yet. The only way to do it is to edit the !Config file.
- The 1st line must be the font name and then 2nd line must
- be the font size (pt).
- If there isn't a file or the font can't be found then
- trinity.medium 12 pt will be used.
