The Recipe Box
Helps and Hints....
(In case you are lost!)

The Recipe Box only works in ST medium or ST high resolutions! If you are trying
to run it in a different mode, it is probably not going to work!
(Let me know if it does though?)

Most all operations are controlled by the mouse. The exceptions to this are when
you have to type something in like a title, filename, or a recipe itself.

All buttons can be clicked on using EITHER of the Mouse Keys. The same effect
will be achieved regardless of which mouse key you use.
(The exception to this is the chapter and recipe scrolls)

To 'select' a chapter or a recipe, move the mouse pointer to the name of the
chapter or recipe and click on one of the mouse keys! If you select a chapter
the list of recipes within that chapter will appear. If you select a recipe the
screen will switch to the recipe display.

The BUTTONS display error messages within the button if something is wrong. If
you click on a button too fast, you might miss them. So until you get the hang
of the program, click and HOLD a button to see if an error message is displayed.
Then release the button.

When you are requested to enter a title (Chapter Title, Recipe Title, Filename,
Search String. 'renaming OR entering'), you type in the title on the keyboard.
If you accessed the title entry in error, you can press the RETURN key (Assuming
you haven't entered anything yet!), or you can move the mouse pointer outside of
the title entry box and click either of the mouse keys.
The maximum title length depends on what you are entering. (20 letters for
chapter titles, 40 letters for recipe titles or search strings, 8 letters for
filenames, etc.)

Anytime a 'control menu' pops up, and you wish to abort or exit out of the menu
simply move the mouse pointer OUTSIDE of the box and click either mousekey.
(Modify Menu, Move Menu, Print Menu, etc.)

When you are viewing a recipe on the screen, and if it is too long to fit on the
screen all at once, you can move the mouse pointer to the lower portion of the
screen. (The mouse pointer disappears to 'get it out of the way' when viewing!)
Then press the Left mouse key to scroll up through the recipe or press the Right
mouse key to scroll down through the recipe. Move the mouse pointer back to the
top of the screen if you want to do something else.

Also, while viewing a recipe, you can scan through the available chapters by
clicking on the Current chapter title at the top of the screen. The LEFT mouse
key scans backwards, the RIGHT mouse key scans forwards. You can also scan
through the recipe titles (within the displayed chapter) by clicking on the
recipe title at the top of the screen.

If you 'Move' or 'Copy' a recipe you will not be allowed to move it to the
chapter it is already in, or into a chapter that has already reached it's
maximum capacity. ('move' transfers a recipe from one chapter to another. 'copy'
duplicates a recipe to another chapter. Select which you type you want in the
set preferences menu!)

After you import a recipe file into The Recipe Box, the exported text file 
is no longer necessary and may be deleted if you wish.

Above all, Practice, Practice! There is A LOT of 'stuff' in this program, I
think you'll figure them out on your own if you work with the program a little.
It's rather selfexplanatory. Error messages abound in the program, and it's
difficult to really 'hurt' anything if you don't mean to!

If you see something in the program that is hard to understand or just plain
doesn't make sense let me know! I'll see if I can simplify things a little!

Enjoy,
