Files contained in this zip file are
Readme.txt  ;the file your are reading
Readme.sc   ;script to play for demonstration of how procedures work
File_lib.sc ;creates a library to use for demonstration

These procedures use Paradox 4.0's Wait Workspace if any images are on
screen.  Otherwise Getevevent is used to control viewing a file with
Paradox's built in File editor.  It is intended to be used view a text file
in the same manner you would use a DOS program like Readme.com or List.com.
Paradox 4.0 has a nice report viewer for Interactive use but you can not get
full control of it from PAL.  Using the file editor has the advantage of
seeing text in a window that pops up over your application.

To see how this can be used PLAY Readme.sc from Paradox 4.0

Notes:
  You can not change any text in the File edit window.  All edit functions
  been disabled in the Wait session handler.

  The Mouse is enabled, you can resize and move the edit Window and click the
  Close button.  If you select any other Window the Edit window will also
  Close.  Since the WAIT session does not provide a DepartWindow Trigger the
  descision was made to close the edit session when you leave the window.

  If you hold down the mouse you can define text in the Edit Window.  You
  can't do anything with it but it will still change color.  This could have
  been turned off by changing the define color to the same color as the
  normal text but because a find with Zoom also uses the same color as
  defined text I left it in

  In order to provide window scrolling left and right with the cursor keys
  the Scroll Lock key is turned on at the start of this utility. The Scroll
  Lock can be toggled with the scroll lock key or with a menu choice.  It is
  reset to its original state when you exit this file viewer utility.
