The VIEW program will then display a listing of the subdirectories and their description on the disc. Use the cursor keys to move the highlight bar up and down the screen, then press ENTER to change into any of the subdirectories. The VIEW program will then display a list of files within that particular subdirectory. (To return back to the subdirectory listing, press the ESCAPE key.) While in the list of files, the VIEW program can let you read a text file, uncompress a zipped file, or copy a file onto another drive. To read a text file, merely position the highlight bar onto the line with the filename you wish to read, then press ENTER. While reading the document, if you wish to search for a string, press either the "S" key, CONTROL-S (type "S" while holding down the Control key), or F9 then enter the string for which you wish to search. For further occurrences of the string, merely press the S key, CONTROL-S, or F9 key. You may do reverse searches by pressing R, CONTROL-R, or F10 in the same manner. To uncompress a file, position the highlight bar onto the line with the filename you wish to uncompress, then press ENTER. The screen will change to ask you to where you wish to uncompress the file, the default being a directory on your C: drive. If you wish, you may edit this destination box. Press ENTER to begin uncompressing the file, or press ESCAPE to abort. After uncompressing, you will have the option to either exit out to the directory to which the VIEW program uncompressed the file, or to return to the menu; if you decide to return the menu, be sure to remember to where the file was uncompressed! To copy a file, position the highlight bar onto the line with the wish to copy, then press ENTER. The screen will change to ask you to where you wish to copy the file, the default being a directory on your C: drive. If you wish, you may edit this destination box. Press ENTER to copy the file, or press ESCAPE to abort. After copying, you will have the option to either exit out to the directory to which the VIEW program copied the file, or to return to the menu; if you decide to return the menu, be sure to remember to where the file was copied! ============================================================================= This CD-ROM is unconditionally guaranteed.
