    by the use of this software.

    The program opens a scrollable window on the screen, displaying
    all Ascii characters, there names (if <= 32), the Help Byte is
    the second byte recieved from the keyboard when the first byte is $00.

    This program is intended mainly to be used with the Borland Turbo
    Pascal v7.0 Integreated Development Environment's Tools menu, but
    it can naturally be used with other programs or stand alone.
    Things to remember then is that the program expects the calling
    program to handle screen refreshing and mouse initialazion.

    The syntax of the program is as follows:

    ASCII [/F:Forground Color] [/B:Background Color] [/P:Data File Path]

    Where "Text Color" is a numeric value in the range 0 - 15,
    "Background Color" is a numeric value in the range 0 - 7 and
    "Data File Path" is a valid path to where the program can
    create and store it's data file "ASCII.DAT", this file only
    contains one integer, ie 2-bytes, representing the line on
    which you left the program last time.


    To get it working in TP 7.0's IDE do as follows...

    1) Choose the Options|Tools... menu.

    2) Doubble click somewhare in the scroll box where there are no text.

    3) Enter for example: "ASCII - ~T~able" on the Title line, naturally
       without the quotation marks, this will enter the text "ASCII - Table"
       in the Tools menu, with the letter T highlighted.

    4) On the Program path line enter the path to the program, for
       example: "c:\tp\bin\ascii".

    5) On the Command line you enter the parameters sent to the program,
       for example: "/F:0 /B:7 /P:c:\tp\bin $NOSWAP", this will set the text
       color to black and the background color to light gray, these are
       acctually the default colors, so the /F and /B in the exampe is realy
       not nessesary, it also sets the path for the data file.
       The $NOSWAP is an IDE macro telling it not to swap away the original
       screen when executing the program.

    6) Now if you want to have the execution of the program assigned to
       a hot key combination, tick the Hot key box on the right.

    7) And finaly do not forget to save this setup with the Options|Save
       command.


    Use And Enyoy!
