StarInfo/Wilson/!SmallHelp/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

    This program was made so that help could be seen without the annoyingly
large window. I am ashamed to say it, but it is one of the good features of
MS Windoze 95. I expect there are many other programs like this about, and
this doesn't exactly rate the highest, however it does it's purpose and I
like it.

    Knowledge of Acorn computers is probably needed to understand this
help file, but hopefully not Small Help itself, if you get stuck then use the
quick overview of what things do further down the file.

    When you run Small Help, the icon will appear on the icon bar. This
allows you to change settings and see who it's written by, so to temporarily
get rid of it click on the 'Quit � Icon Bar only' menu option. If you're
happy with the settings then in the !Run file, get rid of the '-iconbar' text
after 'Run <SmallHelp$Dir>.!RunImage' and the iconbar icon won't appear when
loaded. If you want to choose whether to have the iconbar from the command
line, then type '%*0' after the run line. This means that using
'*Run <Name$Dir>.!SmallHelp -iconbar' causes the icon to appear and using
'*Run <Name$Dir>.!SmallHelp' will cause it not to appear. Because I'm such a
kind guy, if you've got rid of the iconbar icon but want it back again,
simply press �F10 and it will magically appear.

    The open delay is the time in centiseconds between when the mouse stops
moving and the help window appears. If you do not wish it to appear unless
asked for by pressing F10, then type 'OFF' or increase it past 999. If you
have a fast machine and you want it trailing the mouse, you can set it to 0
so it appears immediately.
    The close delay is the time in centiseconds between when the help window
was opened and the help window is closed. If you do not wish it to close
unless the pointer is moved then type 'OFF' or increase it past 999. If you
are a very fast reader you can set it so that the window is open for 1
centisecond.
    The foreground and background colours are pretty self-explanitory but if
you get stuck then read the help window which appears close to the mouse when
you point at the 'Foreground' or 'Background' text.
    If you want a plain 2D border then don't select either 3D radio. If you
want an outwards button-type look to the window select '3D Out' and if you
want an inwards display-field-type look the select '3D In'.

    I haven't tried this program on a later OS than RISC OS 3.10, so I am
very sorry if for some reason it doesn't work. If anyone feels like improving
it then please do, but let me have a copy! I can be contacted at the address
below.

Quick overview of how to use Small Help:

Iconbar always loaded             'Run <SmallHelp$Dir>.!RunImage -iconbar'
Iconbar never  loaded             'Run <SmallHelp$Dir>.!RunImage'
Choose from command line          'Run <SmallHelp$Dir>.!RunImage %*0'
   e.g.                           *Run <Name$Dir>.!SmallHelp -iconbar'
Make help window appear            F10
Re-gain iconbar once lost         �F10
Open  delay                        cs before opening (0-999 , OFF)
Close delay                        cs before closing (1-999 , OFF)
Foreground colour                  text colour in help window
Background colour                  background colour in help window
Help window has 3D Outwards look  '3D Out' radio selected
Help window has 3D Inwards look   '3D In'  radio selected
Help window has plain border       no radio selected

    Thanks to Justin Fletcher, as this program uses his wimp library. I can
say that it is very easy to use, but I haven't tried any other such libraries
so I can't compare it. I haven't included the whole library to try and
compress this application, so sorry to anyone else wanting to use it. Thanks
also to Tony Houghton, as I regularly use WinEd. If you're reading this, then
I hope you don't mind about the colour picker window, but I couldn't be
bothered to do one of my own.

    As a final note, does anyone out there know how to resize icons on RISC
OS 3.10 without deleting it and re-creating it a different size? It has been
bugging me for a long time now.
