All rights reserved. }} Welcome to the Tour of Andrew. This document is designed to guide you through a general tour of the Andrew system. If you have never used Andrew, you should read the next five paragraphs. If you have used Andrew before, go on to the section called \bold{How to see more help documents} below. \leftindent{\bold{For those who have never used Andrew.} The information you are reading appears inside a window that contains help information. The mouse is the small box attached by a cord to the workstation. When you move the mouse, the mouse cursor (arrow) on the screen will move. You should move the mouse cursor into the Help window containing this information now. \bold{To see more of this text:} Move the mouse cursor into the vertical bar at the left edge of the Help window. This vertical bar is the \italic{\helptopic{scrollbar} }. To move down in the text, click the left mouse button. To move up, click the right mouse button when the cursor is in the scrollbar. The whole scrollbar represents the text; the white box in the scrollbar represents the part of the text that is shown on the screen. \bold{To use the menus:} Most windows contain sets of \italic{\helptopic{menus} }. Choosing options from these menus allows you to change your work or to use various features of a program. On a two-button mouse, press and hold down both mouse buttons to cause the menus to appear. (On a three-button mouse, press and hold down the middle mouse button.) To choose a menu option, keep the button(s) pressed while moving the cursor to the menu item you want. When the menu item becomes darkened, let go of the button(s) to choose it. }\section{How to see more help documents} \leftindent{ There are four ways to ask Help to display different documents. The documents you request will take the place of the document(s) that are currently displayed in the Help window. \leftindent{ \bold{1. Click on the panels.} At the right side of the Help window, there are two panels containing the names of Overviews (top panel) and Programs (bottom panel). For an overview of how to do a particular kind of task, such as Writing documents or using the Mail system, point the cursor at a name in the top panel and click the left mouse button. For information about a particular program, such as \helptopic{Messages} or \helptopic{EZ}, click on one of the program names in the bottom panel. \bold{2. Click on a boxed help topic.} Many help files contain words or phrases in small grey boxes, like \helptopic{Tour}. If you move the cursor into one of these boxes and press the left mouse button, the named help topic will appear in the Help window. If instead you use the right mouse button, the named help topic will appear in a new window, leaving the old window still visible. \bold{3. Type in a keyword. } You can also provide Help with a "keyword" about which you want more information. With the mouse cursor into the Help window, press both (or the middle) mouse button(s) to expose the Help menus. Choose \bold{Show Help on ...} from the menus. When the following prompt appears at the bottom of the Help window: \leftindent{Enter a keyword about which you want more help:} type in the keyword you want (e.g., ez, messages). \bold{4. Ask for help on a selected word. } Many keywords appear in \italic{italic} in help documents so that you know there is more information about them. You can pick these words from a help document and ask for help about them. To get help on a word, you must \italic{select} it. To select a word: \smaller{ }\leftindent{1. Point the mouse cursor at the beginning of a word and click the left mouse button once. 2. Hold the left mouse button down and drag the cursor to the end of the word. 3. Release the button to complete the selection. A dark box appears around the word.} After selecting a word, get help on it by bringing up the menus (by pressing both mouse buttons down at the same time) and choosing \bold{Show Help on Selected Word}. If there is no help for the word you have selected, the following message appears: \leftindent{Sorry; no help available on\italic{ 'word'.}}} \leftindent{If you want, for example, you can select the word \italic{select }, choose \bold{Show Help on Selected Word}, and learn about alternate selection mechanisms, and how selected regions relate to the scrollbar.} }\section{What is Andrew, exactly? } \leftindent{The Andrew System, or "Andrew," is a set of computer tools that you can use to write and edit documents, send and receive mail, read bulletin boards, write your own programs, and do many other activities. The tools that you use on Andrew, such as the editor you use to create documents, are computer programs designed to help you accomplish the work you need to do. } \section{For More Information} \leftindent{At the end of many help documents (including this one) is a section called "Related Tools." You can depend on this section to present the names of task areas or programs which have functions similar to the one you are reading about. Use these names (we call them keywords) to "shop" for the program you want to read about by selecting one of the keywords and using the menu option \bold{Show Help on Selected Word}. } \section{Related Tools }Move the cursor into one of the following boxes phrases and press the left mouse button to see the Overview document for: \italic{\leftindent{\helptopic{Mail} \helptopic{MultiMedia} \helptopic{Programming} \helptopic{selecting} \helptopic{scrolling} \helptopic{menus}}} \begindata{bp,537448704} \enddata{bp,537448704} \view{bpv,537448704,1,0,0} Copyright 1992 Carnegie Mellon University and IBM.
