Welcome to Text View.

Text View uses the Windows Terminal font which allows for a maximum of 30
lines and 80 columns (characters) per line in the text window (29 lines and 78
columns if the scroll bars are visible).  If the file being displayed is
within both ranges, all navigation buttons will be disabled (greyed) since no
navigation is necessary.  If the scroll bars are visible, they too will be
disabled.

Most text files will of course have more than 30 lines and some may have more
than 80 columns.  When Text View loads a file, it determines the number of
lines in the file and stores the length of the longest line found.

Choose "Help" to see what each navigation button does.

The scroll bars operate just as they do in other Windows applications.  Note
that they can be used to move by one full text window.  Pressing the arrow
buttons on each end of a scroll bar moves you through the file one line or
column at a time and gradually the moving button heads toward the other end.
However, if you press on the scroll bar in the space between the arrow button
and the moving button, the view of the text will shift one window.  This works
with either the horizontal or vertical bar.  You can also drag the moving
button on either bar.

The next section is 160 characters wide.  Try reading it using the appropriate
navigation buttons and the horizontal scroll bar.

Hopefully, you won't have to read many files that are more than 80 columns wide because they are a pain to read.  However, Text View provides ways to do it if
you need to.

Press the "End of line" button (the fifth button past the color buttons)...       It displays the last 78 or 80 columns, the last being column 160, which is the
length of the longest line in this file.

Some files may not appear to be as wide as Text View reports because some
lines may have trailing tabs or spaces that can't normally be seen.  You can
use Text View's "Expose" option to see them.  If the Expose option was not
selected when this file was loaded, the line below will appear as a blank
line...
	    		  	         	     	  	        
Reload the file and click the check box for the Expose option to see what's
really in that blank line.  (See "Help" on the Load Options window or on the
main menu for an explanation of the symbols).

You can print files by choosing:

  File
  Print...

This is the last line of the demo file.  Thanks for trying Text View.  M.F.
