Manual

This manual is basically divided into two sections:

·A " How to..." or tutorial section giving instructions on the actual use of the functions and features described in the technical manual.
·A technical manual explaining the different functions of the program.

Certain conventions will be used throughout the manual.

·Menu options are displayed in dark blue, boldface type and are enclosed within curly brackets. I.e. {File | Open} where the first item represents the menu concerned and the second the individual menu option. Where only a single item is listed in this manner it refers to the corresponding menu.
·Sub-menus are shown after the basic menu path followed by a " >" symbol. E.g. {File | Import}>Import ASCII. As you can see, these are also displayed in dark blue, boldface type. The particular example shown here also demonstrates one of the other features of the manual. You'll notice that the acronym "ASCII" is displayed in green and has a dotted line underneath it. This indicates that the word is included in the glossary and has a definition associated with it. Just click on it and see what happens.
·Key-presses (including keyboard shortcuts or "hotkeys") are displayed in black, boldface type and enclosed within square brackets with a plus sign between keys where more than one key is concerned, e.g. [Ctrl]+[O]. Graphical buttons within dialogs, etc. are marked in the same manner.
·Internal links are displayed in dark green (some may appear lighter than others depending on whether the original jump text is in bold-face type or not). The manual includes two types of links. Those producing jumps to other pages within the manual are underlined with a solid line while others, leading to pop-up windows containing definitions for given words or concepts, are underlined with a dotted line (as with the word "Links" at the beginning of this paragraph).
·Internet links are shown in underlined light blue e.g. Ghostscript (don't click on the example unless you want to go to the Ghostscript home page). If you're on-line, clicking on the link will automatically open your default browser and take you to the related page.
