The following is the contents of the KeySoft 7.2 Readme file.
Readme For KeySoft 7.2
KeySoft 7.2 contains several new features. For details, please refer to
the What's New
section of the User Guide.
If you are a Classic or mPower user, please be aware that some important
changes
have been made to the information regarding the battery. It is important
to condition
your battery regularly. Please check the What's New section of the User
Guide for
more details.
There are two sections below. 'Supplementary Information for the User
Guide'
provides corrections to, and additional information not included in the
KeySoft 7.2
User Guide. 'List of Software Improvements' details the improvements made
to the
software with the release of KeySoft 7.2.
Supplementary Information for the User Guide.
1. This correction applies to the 'Searching for Format Indicators'
section of the
'Word Processor' chapter. If you want to change the format of paragraphs,
you may
need to locate new line indicators. The command for searching for a new
line
indicator is SPACE with dots 2-6 (CONTROL with ENTER).
2. When opening a document in the File Manager, you may need to browse
through a
list of folders and file names to find the one you want. To browse a
sub-directory,
follow these steps:
A. From the Main Menu, press F for File Manager and then D for Directory.
B. Change from folder to directory by pressing SPACE with T (CONTROL with
T).
C. KeySoft prompts: "Directory name?." Either press SPACE and search
through the
list of folders until you find the one you want, or if you have many
folders to search
through, type the path instead. You will now be able to view the first
level of folders.
D. Move down the list of folders an press ENTER once you find the
sub-folder you
want. KeySoft will now prompt: "Directory name? Press ENTER for
/downloads."
Now either press ENTER to select the downloads or return to the
list of downloads and select My Subdirectory at the next level down.
E. KeySoft will display the subdirectory in /downloads, for example,
"test". Press
ENTER to select "test" and KeySoft will prompt: "Directory name? Press
ENTER for
/downloads/test." If you press ENTER at this point and "test" is the last
subdirectory
in the list, KeySoft will prompt: "List of files in (directory name)?."
The only problem with browsing a sub-directory using the method described
above, is
that once you access a sub-directory, you're stuck there until you back
out. To browse
the directory tree without getting stuck in a sub-directory, press SPACE
with dots 5-6
(RIGHT ARROW) or SPACE with dots 2-3 (LEFT ARROW).
If you are in a sub-directory and want to move up a level, press SPACE
with dots 2-3
(LEFT ARROW) and KeySoft will move up a level. For example, from
/downloads/test to /downloads. To move up yet another level, press SPACE
with dots
2-3 (LEFT ARROW) again. To browse sub-directories from within a directory,
press
SPACE with dots 5-6 (RIGHT ARROW.)
3. Most application management happens from the Internet Options menu.
This is
accessible when you are in KeyWeb, either on a web page or a locally
stored
document, by pressing BACKSPACE with O (CONTROL with 2.) One of the
available options is called 'File Download Options'. From the File
Download Options
List you have the choice of turning "Stream Audio Links" on (the default)
or off. To
allow for the streaming of audio links, ensure that "Stream Audio Links"
is on. If you
want to download an mP3 file, you need to turn "Stream Audio Links" off.
