USE OF THE PROGRAM(S) INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THOSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Some keys, especially those with names written below in UPPER CASE letters, have different names (or no names at all) on certain keyboards. In general, a key has the same effect whether or not "SHIFT" is pressed simultaneously, and whether "CapsLock" is toggled on or off. Exceptions to this are "Del" on the Numeric Keypad and the number keys on the numeric keypad and the main keyboard, which have different effects depending on whether "NumLock" is toggled on or off and/or whether "SHIFT" (or, in some cases, "CTRL") is pressed (see below). A BEEP means that an invalid key has been pressed (unless the computer's speaker has been toggled off with "H"). Alphanumeric keys are used to specify file names and to respond to menu prompts; press "BACKSPACE" (repeatedly if necessary) and retype to correct; press "ENTER" to complete a response (no "ENTER" is needed for responses to menu prompts). Some prompts require a (Y/N) response. In these cases, pressing "Y" or "y" means yes, and pressing any other key means no. Some prompts require a (Y/N/ESC) response. In these cases, pressing "Y" or "y" means yes, pressing "Esc" cancels the current operation and "backs out" to the previous operation, and pressing any other key means no. 2 ? = access contextual help screen Esc = cancel current operation and "back out" to the previous operation (will access prompt for exiting from PictureThis if pressed enough times); when Quickshow screen is being drawn, stops drawing F1 = set endpoint at current cursor location F2 = move cursor from one control point to other control point of curve being drawn (after both of its endpoints have been set); if drawing oval or square, move cursor to other guideline F3 = set curve (after its endpoints and control points have been set) F4 = access curve modification menu (erase, change, or alter line parameters) F5 = begin curve cutting F6 = access trail menu (define, erase, alter line parameters, or fill) F7 = access object menu (group, ungroup, erase, layer, move, copy, scale, rotate, flip, or incline) F9 = access miscellaneous menu (set palette, move template, scale drawing, set grid, set aspect ratio, set flatness, set units, set high cursor movement increment) F10 = access file operations menu (get drawing file, save drawing file, import clip art file, export clip art file, read template file, write encapsulated PostScript file, shell to DOS) 1,2,3,4,6,7,8, or 9 on numeric keypad = (with "NumLock" toggled off and "SHIFT" not pressed) move cursor in direction of that key from "5" key Ins on numeric keypad = toggle cursor movement increment between 1 and higher cursor speed (initially 10) Del on Numeric Keypad = move cursor to nearby endpoint and "dash" curve(s) having that endpoint; then, to move to other endpoints, press "SPACEBAR" (or "+" or "-"); press "ENTER" to leave cursor at endpoint 3 Ctrl + Home = cursor to upper left corner of frame Ctrl + End = cursor to lower left corner of frame Ctrl + PgUp = cursor to upper right corner of frame Ctrl + PgDn = cursor to lower right corner of frame Shift + Del on numeric keypad = move cursor to nearby noted point; then, to move to other noted points, press "SPACEBAR" (or "+" or "-"); press "ENTER" to leave cursor at noted point 0 = access prompt to erase all noted points Shift + 1,2,3,4,6,7,8, or 9 on numeric keypad = (or with "NumLock" toggled on) scroll screen in direction of that key from "5" key Shift + 5 on numeric keypad = (or with "NumLock" toggled) center frame on screen + on numeric keypad = scale screen up (magnify) - on numeric keypad = scale screen down (demagnify) A = toggle [A]utomatic smoothing on and off B = begin drawing [B]ox C = access prompt to [C]lear current drawing D = re[D]raw current drawing E = toggle guidelines on and off ([E]rase them) F = begin [F]rame change G = toggle [G]rid snap-to on and off H = toggle error messages/prompts and speaker on ([H]ear it) and off I = toggle cursor movement [I]ncrements between external and internal units 4 L = access [L]ine change menu (for new lines) M = [M]easure distance N = [N]ote/unnote point at current cursor location O = begin [O]val (circle or ellipse) P = toggle [P]osition box and relative position box on and off Q = show [Q]uickshow screen R = toggle drawing on ([R]estore) and off ([R]emove) S = begin [S]moothing operations; if drawing box, begin [S]quare T = toggle [T]emplate on and off U = toggle memory [U]sed information box on and off (only when viewscreen is on) V = show [V]iewscreen W = toggle status box on and off (to show [W]hat's happening: current states of automatic smoothing toggle, guideline erase toggle, and error message/speaker toggle; current operation; external units/internal units/grid snap-to indicator; cursor speed; current units) X = center screen on cursor ([X]) Z = [Z]ero screen (center frame and cursor on screen)
