Browse Help Features
There are 35 commands available with browse. They are classified under the
following topics: Search, Block Commands, Cursor Movements, Text Markers,
Mode Toggles and Other. They all can be tested (except Help) while viewing
this 3 page help file. <Esc> or <AltX> will exit help.
Search
<CtrlQ><F> Allows the search for any string of up to 30 characters. After
entering a search string, You will be prompted for search options. Valid
search options are 'B' (search Backwards) and 'U' (ignore case).
<CtrlL> Repeat last search operation. The string used in the last search
operation will be used again, as will the previous search options. If no
search operation has yet been performed, this command does nothing.
<CtrlJ><L> Prompts for a line number, then scrolls the window such that
the specified line is at the top of the window. If the line number
specified is greater than the number of lines in the file the window will
be scrolled to the end of the file.
Block Commands
<F7>, <CtrlK><B> Marks the line at the top of the window as the start of a
block. Note that the browser allows only whole lines to be part of a block.
<F8>, <CtrlK><K> Marks the line at the top of the window as the end of a
block started with <F7> ...or unmarks a previously marked block.
<CtrlB><K> Marks the line at the bottom of the window as the end of a block.
<CtrlQ><B> Jump to the beginning of the currently marked block.
<CtrlQ><K> Jump to the end of the currently marked block.
<CtrlK><H> Toggle the display of marked blocks.
<CtrlK><W> Writes the currently marked and displayed block to a file. Note
that this command writes the actual contents of the file being browsed, not
the image of it that is being displayed on the screen. The command does the
same thing whether in ASCII or hex mode.
<CtrlK><P> Writes the currently marked and displayed block to the printer.
The output is directed to LPT1.

<Right>, <CtrlD> Scroll window right 1 column.

Text Markers
<CtrlK><0> .. <CtrlK><3> Sets one of the four text markers at the start of
the line at the top of the window. <CtrlK><0> sets marker 0, <CtrlK><1>

<CtrlQ><0> .. <CtrlQ><3> Scrolls the text such that the line associated
with the specified text marker is moved to the top of the window.
Mode Toggles
<CtrlH> Toggles between ASCII mode (the default) and hex mode.
<CtrlQ><H> Activates or deactivates the option to suppress (strip) the eighth
(high) bit for each character in the file. In ASCII mode, this option affects
only characters with an ordinal value of 128 or higher (10000000 in binary),
causing #228, for example, to be displayed as #100 ('d'). In hex mode, it
affects control characters as well, causing them to be represented as periods
('.'). The hex values in the middle columns are not affected by this option.
Other
<CtrlBreak>, <Esc>, <ClickRight>, <Alt-X> Quit browsing.
<ClickLeft> Move window to the position in the file associated with the
scroll bar on the right margin of the screen.
