                        F11 Version 3.2
                        ===============

Program Description
-------------------

F11 enhances the inbuilt WORD,DATA,AGENDA, and SPREADSHEET applications
of the PSION Series 3a:

 - change automatically letters from lower case to upper case.
 - insert automatically spaces.
 - doubles automatically hyphens.
 - insert todays date
 - insert non keyboard characters from character table
 - insert standard text phrases from custom defined phrase books.
 - easy typing of national characters (umlauts).
 - Find file function with preview
 - Establish hyperlinks within and between documents
 - Execute KMAC-macros and OPL-functions


Platforms
---------

 This program runs on
   - PSION S3a/S3c/Siena
   - ACORN PocketBook II

   - S3a-Emulator (480x160 or 640x400 screen size)
   - Siena-Emulator (240x160 screen size)
     Due to the different keyboard layout some key combinations do not work.
     To access F11-Menu or F11-Help use ALT-ESC followed by F9 or F10.

Requirements
------------

   The amount of disc space needed is 70k-82k for the program
   depending on the options and 30k-52k for the manuals.
   When running F11 needs about 34k of RAM.

Compatibility
-------------

 - F11 and Macro systems (MacSys/KMAC)

   Using the same hotkeys: The macro system will get the keypress.

   Under certain circumstances the system can "freeze" (see below).
    This seems to happen if you have defined an extreme number
    of hotkeys for macros. (We used 25 defined hotkeys without any trouble)
    Either reduce the number of macro-hotkeys
    (you probably have problems to remember them, too),
    or switch off the F11-hotkeys (Preferences).

   Since F11 can record,run, edit and translate macros of
   both MacSys and KMAC, there is no real need to keep a macro system
   running...

-  F11 and DataView
   F11 supports DataView with the following restrictions:
   - DataView cannot be started from the File finder.
   - It is not possible to merge two data files
   - TAB-characters in phrases are converted to blanks when F11 is used
     with DataView


When things go wrong
--------------------

   Problem:   Not enough memory.

   Solution:  Switching off F11 (PSION-X in F11 menu or DEL on F11 icon)
              will release some memory.
              Work is continued under the native application.

   Problem:   A system dialog box has appeared on the screen and
              asks you for the Enter or ESC key, but seems not to respond
              to these keys.

   Solution:  Use CONTROL-Enter or CONTROL-ESC to answer the prompt.

   Problem:   You get an error message "Error capturing keys"
              and F11 closes down.

   Solution:  There is probably another application running capturing keys
              that F11 needs to capture (We heard of Pason4C doing so).
              Close that application before starting F11.

   Problem:   The system seems to slow down when F11 was running for
              a longer period of time.

   Solution:  Setup F11 in the Stop&Go mode. F11 will shut down and restart
              itself now and then, freeing system resources.

   Problem:   I want to associate an application to an object with a
              non standard file extension, such as ProPoc with .MPX files.

   Solution:  Create a "New list" for the application and specify this
              file extension. The new list (alias) will act as a waypointer
              for F11.


The following situation should never occur, however, if they occur:


   Problem:   F11 does not terminate or shows "busy" continuously.

   Solution:  Press the SYSTEM button.
              Then apply the system function "Kill application" to F11.
              (You will not loose data). Restart F11.

   Problem:   The system freezes (does not respond to keystrokes).

   Solution:  Press Shift-ESC. That should disable F11.
              If this does not help: Reset the machine.
              Press the reset button (the little hole
              left of the SYSTEM button) using a wire or similar. Then
              press the ON button.
              Do not remove the batteries as this would wipe out the
              whole internal disk!

New in version 3.27
-------------------
   - New date format (Preferences) to insert the current date (PSION-ESC + /)
     in numeric form into spreadsheets .

New in version 3.26
-------------------
   - Open spreadsheet files can now be merged into a WORD document
     (they will be closed in the process).
   - case sensitive data search in file finder.
   - Full support for soft hyphen, hard hyphen, protected space in prases.

New in version 3.23
-------------------
   - You can now define up to 15 characters (Preferences) that switch
     the typing aids for the following word off.
     Example: To type an INTERNET address like lichtbild@compuserve.com
       smoothly, you may want the "@" character to switch off the typing aids.

New in version 3.22
-------------------
   - searching for anchorpoints in external documents: It is now possible
     to specify a specific search string when creating the reference.

New in version 3.21
-------------------
   - F11 accepts now also phrase books in ASCII text formats.
     This saves some disk space and RAM but does not allow text formatting.

New in version 3.20
-------------------
   - New menu function "Previous phrase" repeats the last called phrase
     or macro or program. Shortcut: PSION-ESC+,

   - Character table: The selected character is copied into the clipboard, too,
     if the application supports this. To repeat the character, simply use
     the Insert function.

   - You can now place any objects into documents.
     If F11 encounters an hypertext link to a foreign object
     it will now search the disks Internal,A,B,ROM for the first application
     (.APP, .OPA, .ALS) that is able to open the object.
     This decided by the file extension. It even works for .OPO's which are
     run when the link is activated.
     Because of this generalised solution we dropped all special support for
     HTML files.

   - A similar logic applies to the file finder. When the MAIN or OPEN
     button is pressed, a file is opened with the application displayed
     below the preview window.
     The file finder has a new layout, showing more information.
     When ENTER is pressed on the  "\"-lime the parent directory is opened.
     The left/right cursor keys can be used to switch disks.

   - a new parameter for hypertext links allows to suppress the search
     for anchorpoints in the external document.


New in version 3.15
-------------------
   - A new choice in the F11-Setup screen:
       start&stop:
          If this mode is selected, F11 will stop and restart itself
          when the SYSTEM screen comes to the screen and F11 had done some work.
          This will cause a short flicker on the system screen but will enhance
          long term stability and performance of F11.
       run forever:
          Traditional mode
   - F11 also restarts itself now in case of an error.
   - when creating an external hypertext link, F11 now presents the name
     of the previously opened file as default file name.
   - a new parameter for hypertext links allows to specify if an application
     is to be closed or to remain open when the jump is performed.

New in version 3.11
-------------------
   - Small change in date format if date separator was "."

New in version 3.10
-------------------
   - PSION Siena supported. Menu items have been rearranged. On Siena menu titles
     are abbreviated.
   - Quick positioning with alpha key is now possible in the phrase index
     and in the RepPoc-textfunction index.


New in version 3.00
-------------------
    Note:
        The format of the F11 configuration file has changed.
        If you had used previous versions of F11 the installation
        process will convert your old INI files into a new CNF file.

  General architecture
  --------------------
    F11 V3 features a completely redesigned task management.
    Instead of running a separate F11 copy for each F11 session,
    one global F11 task handles all active sessions.
    You start F11 once and leave it running on your system
    in the background. As soon as F11 is started the F11 functions become
    available, even to open documents. You can start and stop F11 at any time
    - it will attach itself to the application in the foreground.
    F11 will support the foreground application depending on the choices
    made in the F11 setup and the Preferences.

    Advantages compared to V2:

    - less memory used and better performance when running parallel sessions.
    - support for sessions that are launched by other applications as long
      as they are of type WORD(incl. Text,OPL),DATA,AGENDA,Sheet,DATAVIEW.
      This includes support for READCIS, 3CIS, RepPoc, ProPoc, HyperPoc,
      PocDoc, etc.
    - applications start as fast as without F11.
    - no need to install F11 frontends and to deinstall standard applications.
      original icons, alias lists, program groups and button assignments
      are kept.
    - global history (list of recently opened documents and hyperjumps)
      Very convenient for reopening recent documents.

  Changes to the user interface
  -----------------------------
    To support the S3c better some key combinations were changed.

    - PSION-TAB (Command key) has been replaced by PSION-ESC.
    - Delete Phrase function has been combined with UNDO
      PSION-Shift-DEL.
    - PSION-HELP (Insert Hypertext link) has been replaced
      by PSION-ESC followed by Cursor down.

  Typing
  ------
    - Conversion to upper case after punctuation occurs now only
      if the punctuation is followed by blank (or automatic blank)

    - CAPS is no longer used to disable typing aids.

    - Shift-Spacebar disables typing aids for the next word
      (until next Spacebar, Shift-Spacebar, ESC, TAB, Enter).

    - More formats for the Insert-Date-function can now be selected
      via Preferences.

  Changes to the phrase book
  --------------------------
    You can now create a global phrase book for commonly used phrases
    and macros. F11 will search for a phrase first in the application
    specific phrase book, then in the global phrase book.

    Phrases, macros and OPL programs can now be invoked with hotkeys
    (CNTRL-letter or CNTRL-Shift-letter). This is defined in the
    phrase book.

    Link entries to macros and OPL programs can now have a description
    part which is displayed in the phrase index.

  Changes to the macro interface
  ------------------------------
    A new function was added to edit macros. You can now record, edit,
    translate, and run macros from all 3 macro systems
    (KMAC, MacSys2, F11(OPL)) under F11.

  Changes to the OPL interface
  ----------------------------
    The parameter handling had been modified:
    - parameter specified: Parameter is passed to subprogram (as before)
    - no parameter, text selected: Selected text is passed (as before)
    - no parameter, no selection: F11 selects the word at the
      cursor position and passes it to the subprogram.
    - otherwise: empty string to subprogram.

  New subprograms
  ---------------
     BRACKETS, BRACKETS, SEE, UCLC, UNIQUE.

  Hypertext
  ---------
    The hypertext history now works global and logs all sessions
    supported by F11. This is a convenient way to access your
    recently edited documents.

    There is now also a hypertext 'Forward' function. Obviously it
    works in the opposite direction as the 'Back' function.

    Hyperlinks can now be included into DATA records and the AGENDA.

    Hyperlinks can now point to HTML files. (see below)
    At present only local HTML files supported. Support for URLs
    will follow when a browser for the S3c becomes available.

  File finder
  -----------

    The file finder can now display a flat lists of all files including
    the files in the subdirectories, or shows the subdirectories
    as separate entities. Open a subdirectory with ENTER. Move a level
    upwards with '-'.
    There is also now a sort option (slower).

    The file finder now recognises more file types, displays
    additional information about files, and can replay wave (WVE) files.

    HTML files can now be opened through the file finder.
    ( HTMLVIEW from DVM Consultants Ltd. required. )
