                Keyboard Operation
                ------------------

Most functions are available from the keyboard.

The purpose of this file is to provide a quick reference of
the keys to use for various functions.  These functions are
explained in more detail under their own items on the Help
menu.


Menus
-----

A menu can be displayed from the keyboard by holding down
the "Alt" key while pressing the first letter of the menu 
title.  For example, to display the File menu:

        Press and hold the "Alt" key.
        Press and release the "F" key.
        Release the "Alt" key.

Press the character on the right side of the menu to select
that function.

You can also use most menu items without first displaying the
menu.  For example, you can select the File/Open function by 
simply pressing the "O" key.  There are more menu items than
characters available so there is some duplication.

When you press a menu item character, and no menu is displayed,
the menus are searched from left to right for that character.
The Run menu, with user-defined commands, is on the left so it
is searched first.  If you were to define a command with a 
keyboard equivalent of "O", pressing the "O" key, would activate
that function instead of File/Open.


SSTV Mode
---------

The function keys F1 through F8 are used to select the family
of SSTV modes:

        F1      Robot 1200C color
        F2      Robot B&W
        F3      Martin
        F4      Scottie
        F5      AVT
        F6      Wraase
        F7      Miscellaneous (old European B&W)
        F8      Pasokon TV high resolution 640 x 480

Alt-F1 through Alt-F5 are used to select up to 5 different speeds
in each of these groups.

Some characteristics of the current mode can be found by picking
"SSTV Mode" on the Setup menu.  

For more detailed information on all the modes, pick "SSTV Mode"
from the Help menu or look in the file MODES.TXT.


Auto Save
---------

The "Auto Save" controls allow you to save images to disk 
automatically and review them later.

        Button  Keyboard        Action
        ------  --------        ------
        A.Sav   Insert          Toggle Auto-Save switch
        First   Home            Display lowest number image
        Last    End             Display highest number image
        Next    Page Down       Display next higher image
        Prev    Page Up         Display next lower image
        Del     Delete          Delete image file

Typically you would press "End" to see the most recent image
saved, and "Page Up" to step through older and older images.
Along the way, "Delete" can be used to clean out the ones you
don't want to keep.

Pick "Auto Save" item in Help menu for more details.


Xmit / Recv
-----------

The Transmit / Receive controls are:

        Button  Keyboard        Action
        ------  --------        ------
        Recv    Enter           start Receive mode
        Xmit    X               start Transmit mode
        A       Alt-X           send AVT alignment tone
        Stby    any while T/R   stop Receive or Transmit
                
You will notice that the "Recv" button has an extra rectangle
around the text.  The button with this extra rectangle is 
called the default button and may be picked by pressing the 
"Enter" key.  Typically the "OK" button of a dialog box will
be the default button.

Transmit and the AVT alignment tone will end automatically
when they are finished.  They can be terminated early by 
clicking a mouse button or pressing any key.  Don't telephone
me and say that your keyboard doesn't have a key labelled
"Any".  The space bar is a good choice because it has no
other function and you won't get an unwanted result if you 
press it more than once or right when transmit was about to
end anyhow.

Receive will run until you click a mouse button or press a key.


Image Selection
---------------

Use the left and right arrow keys to step through the thumbnail
images displayed on the bottom of the screen.

The up arrow causes a full screen display of the image when 
using the standard resolution 640 x 480 screen.


File Selector
-------------

The File Selector is the dialog box that appears for the Open
and Save items in the File menu.  You can use the following 
keys instead of the mouse:

        Home            - Go to first item in this directory.
                          Usually this will be ".." which 
                          means go up one directory level.

        End             - Go to last item in this directory.
        
        Page Up         - Scroll up 9 files.
                          Same as clicking region above slider.

        Page Down       - Scroll down 9 files.
                          Same as clicking region below slider.

        Up Arrow        - Scroll up one file.
                          Same as clicking arrow above slider.
                          
        Down Arrow      - Scroll down one file.
                          Same as clicking arrow below slider.
                          
        Enter           - Same as OK button.  (Note that it 
                          a rectangle around the text, 
                          indicating that it is the default
                          button.)
                          Select the currently highlighted 
                          file or directory.

        Esc             - Cancel.

        Printable characters - Enter a new file name.
                          Use a period (.) before the file
                          extension rather than inserting
                          spaces.

        Alt-A ... Alt-Z - Select different disk drive.
                          Note that there are buttons only 
                          for drives A through F so you must
                          use the keyboard for later letters.

        Alt-1 ... Alt-8 - Toggle the file type selectors.
