Edith Manual    Interface Behaviour    25th August 1994


The following details for the keyboard, mouse behaviour
and interface appearance in Edith windows can be set in
this dialog:


The ALERT BELL switch  determines whether Edith  should
sound the bell when an alert pops up.


Edith's BUTTONS can be set to three scales of grey when
at least 16 colours are available.


The NUMERICAL KEYPAD can  either literally produce  the
symbols shown on  the keyboard, or serve  for a set  of
cursor  and   window   operations.    When   PC-XT   is
selected, the 1-9 keys serve for cursor movement as  on
MS-DOS keyboards  with  NUM LOCK  switched  off.   When
WINDOW OPERATIONS  is selected, the  following keys  on
the numerical keypad have a special meaning:

   (     Vertically tile text windows
   )     Horizontally tile text windows
   /     Fold text windows
   *     Full active text window
   -     Smaller font
   +     Larger font
   0     Iconify active window
   .     Top/Bury active window

   Control plus  a  number  key will  move  the  active
   window  to   the   edge   (2, 4, 6, 8), the   corner
   (1, 3, 7, 9) or the center (5) of the screen.

Some of  these  shortcuts  can also  be  found  in  the
WINDOWS menu.


When MOUSE JUMPS ALLOWED is selected, Edith will try to
automatically move the  mouse around so  that the  user
need not get his hands  off the keyboard.  When  ALWAYS
AS ARROW is  selected,  the  mouse will  only take  the
arrow and  busy bee  shapes, and not  the text  cursor,
thin cross, etc.


   ** Mouse jumps  are always  disabled under  MultiTOS
      and Geneva.
