                            Moving Around

  SET a bookmark            cHome
  RETURN to the bookmark    cEnd

Bookmarks save the file you're in plus your location in that file. They are
saved across files, so if you switch to another file you can still return to
the bookmarked file with cEnd. Bookmarks are user-defined. PC-Browse never
sets one on its own.

                           <DEFINING PARAMETERS>

  Parameters look like this: /parameter:value
  Some parameters have two or three values separated by a period.
  For more about parameters and their default setting see topics under
  Customizing

  Parameters can be defined in four places:
  1. In the BR.DEF file.
     Each parameter should be on its own line.
     For Example: /C: (for color monitors)
                  /W:7 (window length of 7 lines)

  2. In the DOS Environment.
     Syntax: SET BR=/parameter1 /parameter2 /parameter3
     At the DOS prompt or in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
     For Example: SET BR=/0:112 (window frame attribute)

  3. At the Command Line.
     Syntax: BR filename /parameter1 /parameter2 /parameter3
     Filename is optional
     For Example: BR HAMLET /C: (load Hamlet, color monitor)

  4. Within a file.
     Syntax: [BR=/parameter1 /parameter2 /parameter3]
     Parameter definition should be on the first line of the file.
     For Example: [BR=/I:30.32 /J:22.20 /K:0.0]

  A hot key is one of the keys on your keyboard (except Shift, Ctrl or Alt),
  in combination with Shft, Ctrl and/or Alt. The syntax for setting the
  parameter is:

                              <HOTKEYS (DEFAULT)>

 From within your application you can pop up PC-Browse by pressing one of six
 hotkeys. The default hotkeys and what they do follow:

 Press:    To Do:

 scF1      Pop-up PC-Browse and display the last window viewed.
 scF2      Pop-up PC-Browse and do a lookup search on the word at the cursor
           in the underlying application.
 scF3      Pop-up PC-Browse and do a linear search on the word at the
           cursor in the underlying application.
 scF7      Paste designated text into host application. (see Pasting)
             Has no action when a paste is not pending.
 scF8      Pop-up PC-Browse and prompt for a directory specification.
             Show by default the last path accessed plus *.*
 scF9      Pop-up PC-Browse and prompt for Find text.
 scF10     Pop-up PC-Browse and display the first page of the PC-Browse file.

You can assign the various ways of popping up PC-Browse to different
hotkeys. For more information see Bringing Up PC-Browse[?BREF.BRS] and Customizing

                                  <HYPERTEXT>

  Hypertext is text that has been cross-referenced such that one part of the
  text (a "trigger") points to another part (a "target") which contains more
  detailed information about the subject at hand.

  <TRIGGER VS. TARGET>

  A TRIGGER is a word or phrase about which there is more information
  somewhere else in the document(s). It is like a springboard from which you
  leap to "target" text containing more information. For more about triggers
  see Defining A Trigger

  A TARGET is identical to its corresponding trigger (except its delimiters)
  and is either part of a block of text or the title of a page which has
  detailed information about a word or phrase ("trigger") somewhere else in
  the document(s). For more about targets see Defining A Target

  For a general discussion of this topic see Links Between Files[?BREF.BRS]

               (Press F10 to return to the Help Index Page)

                            <DEFINING A TRIGGER>

  There are two ways to define a trigger depending on whether the search for
  the target text will be a linear search or a lookup search.

  1. TO DEFINE A LINEAR SEARCH TRIGGER:

     - Define the keyword trigger start.end delimiters [/J:]
      (see Defining Parameters and Hypertext Delimiters)

     - Place those delimiters around the trigger word or phrase.

     - If the corresponding "target" text is in another file you may
       place the name of that file after the trigger inside brackets [].
       Precede the filename with a ? mark if you want it to be hidden.
       For example <trigger>[otherfile]
                   <trigger>[?hiddenfile]

  2. TO DEFINE A LOOKUP SEARCH TRIGGER:

     - Define the lookup trigger start.end delimiters [/K:]
      (see Defining Parameters and Hypertext Delimiters)

     - Place those delimiters around the trigger word or phrase.

     - If the corresponding "target" text is in another file you may
       place the name of that file after the trigger inside brackets [].
       Precede the filename with a ? mark if you want it to be hidden.
       For example <trigger>[otherfile]
                   <trigger>[?hiddenfile]

               (Press F10 to return to the Help Index Page)
                   (or F4 to return to the previous view)
                             <DEFINING A TARGET>

  1. Define the target start.end delimiters.
     (see Defining Parameters and Hypertext Delimiters)
  2. Place those delimiters around the target word or phrase.

  Note: It is a good idea to separate targets and the text associated with
        them from other target text with a page break (ASCII code 12).

               (Press F10 to return to the Help Index Page)
                   (or F4 to return to the previous view)
                               <LINEAR SEARCH>

  This type of search reads through the document from start to finish (or
  from the cursor to finish) looking for target text matching the trigger.
  see also Normal Search[?BREF.BRS]

                                <LOOKUP SEARCH>

  This is a very fast search which depends on the document having been
  specially prepared for it. For more information see Keyword Searches[?BREF.BRS].

 TO LOAD A FILE INTO THE BROWSE WINDOW:

 F6        Type in the name of the file you want to load, then press Enter,
           For example: MYFILE.DOC

           If the file is not in the current directory or it's on another
           drive then type that information in as well, then press Enter.
           For example: \PCW\MYFILE.DOC
                        A:MYFILE.DOC

  F5       Move to and display the NEXT location on the location list.
 sF4       Display the contents of the location list.

 Location markers save the file you're in plus your location in that file.
 They are saved across files so that by pressing F4 you can go back to the
 previous location even if it is in another file. Location markers are also
 set by the following operations.

    - Grey+    search forward (successfully) for text at the F9 Find prompt.
    - Grey-    search backward (successfully) for text at the F9 Find prompt.
    - F9 F2    lookup search (successful) on text at the F9 Find prompt.
    - F9 F3    keyword search (successful) on text at the F9 Find prompt.
    - Enter    after highlighting a keyword or lookup search trigger.

 To run other programs from PC-Browse you must load Browse in non-resident 
 mode.

 TO LOAD BROWSE IN NON-RESIDENT MODE:

 Add /M to the end of the DOS command line, e.g.,

     BR /M      or
     BR filename /M

 The name of the program to run should be in brackets [ ] just after a
 trigger keyword with a ">" preceeding the program name, e.g.,

   trigger[>ED filename /e]

 To hide the name of the file to run add "?" just after "[", e.g.,

   trigger[?>ED filename /e]

 To have Browse pause after running an application and before returning to
 the Browse window add /P prior to ">", e.g.,

   trigger[?/P>ED filename /e]

 To use a custom help file with the application to be run add /H: followed
 by the name of the help file prior to ">", e.g.,

   trigger[?/H:CUSTOM.HLP>ED filename /e]

 You can combine all these parameters, e.g.,

   trigger[?/H:CUSTOM.HLP/P>ED filename /e]
