I-Manual - a Users Guide
------------------------
I-Manual is a compact textfile display utility with
search and print facilities: in other words it is ideal
for displaying help files for applications in a smaller
amount of memory than Edit would use, and whilst
allowing the user to find references in the text, does
not risk corruption of the text because it is a 'read
only' system.

I-Manual is also interactive - clicking on a word or
phrase on a manual page will cause I-Manual to search
for a new manual page giving more information on that
subject (if any exists).

This program is contained within many Data Store
utilities and is accessed in two ways: either via the
Filer help facility or within the program itself from
an icon in its Info box.

Filer help is obtained by selecting the application in
its directory viewer, then clicking the MENU button on
the mouse.  Slide across the second option ('App !xxxxx
') and then select 'Help' from the submenu.        

To get the on-line manual from a running Data Store
application, bring up its main menu and slide across
the first option ('Info ') - an 'Info box' will
appear, giving the name and purpose of the application,
a copyright message and the date and version number. 
At the bottom is an icon marked 'On-line manual': if
you click on this icon, the on-line manual will appear.

I-Manual Controls
-----------------
You can scroll up and down the text using the mouse and
scroll bars of the window.  Apart from that, many of
Edit's key options are emulated, such as the cursor key
actions, ctrl-f2 will close the top manual page etc.

The Find Facility
-----------------
The option 'Find...' is avaliable on I-Manual's main
menu and via f4/f7.  You can search for any string of
two or more characters by clicking on this to open a
dialogue box in which you enter your search string and
then press RETURN or click on OK.  After a brief pause
the dialogue box will be updated to show how many
matches were found.  The first match is highlighted and
displayed in the middle of the window.  You can scroll
the window if you wish to see more of the context.
Clicking on 'Next Match' will scroll the window
automatically to display the next match and similarly,
should you be viewing the second or later match, you
can scroll backwards by clicking on 'Previous Match'.
Clicking on these two icons is also simulated through
the up and down arrow keys or Page Up/Page Down.

The Print Facility
------------------
Clicking on 'Print' in the I-Manual menu will output
the text to your printer, so long as the appropriate
RISC OS Printer Driver is running. If this is not the
case, an error message will appear.
