Only  those scraps matching the specified ranges will  befound.   The default dates match any scrap so  result  inloading all scraps.                                                                                               Most  commonly used to find reminders that are  due  sometime  in  the  future.   To do this  set  the  range  forreminders  to be between now, whatever the  current  dateis, and 12/31/99.  This causes all future reminders to beloaded.

Scraps in a de-activated project cannot be found.        A shortcut way of checking for reminders due now.  Activatedautomatically by the /R switch and the "Check for  remindersat startup" option.                                                                                                     Vital  for the operation of SAlarm and the reminder  chimes.Every time this command is activated, either manually or viathe /R switch or the startup option, the alarm is set to thenext due reminder date and time.

Scraps in a de-activated project cannot be found.           A pseudo find this matches every scrap and results inloading  a group consisting of every findable  scrap.Excludes only those scraps belonging to projects thathave been de-activated.

Saves the current scrap.  If it is a new scrap thenprompts  for a reminder date.  It is  possible  butgenerally pointless to save an already saved scrap,any  changes are saved automatically when you  moveto another scrap or exit Scraps.

This is thedate  and time when the scrap becomes due.   Variousfind  commands as well as the /R switch  check  thisdate and time.                                                                                          This is also the date and time that an alarm will beheard if scraps is set up for reminder alarms.

Protect  causes the scrap to become read-only  sothat it cannot be edited or deleted by accident.                                                  Unindexed  removes  the scrap from the  index  sothat it cannot be found by word searches.                                                         Encrypt  causes it to be saved in encrypted  formto  avoid anyone reading it by `peeking'  at  thedata file using a file viewer.                   Prints the current scrap to the default  printer.No formatting or printer control is done.   PressEscape to abort while printing.                  Move forward in the group.  Normally you just usethe  grey plus key, the one on the far  right  ofthe keyboard.  Mouse users may use the small plusbutton near the bottom right of the screen.      Move  back in the group.  Normally you  just  usethe  grey minus key, the one on the far right  ofthe  keyboard.   Mouse users may  use  the  smallminus button near the bottom right of the screen.Move back to the 'new' scrap in the group.Discards this scrap from the group.  The scrap isNOT deleted, just rejected from the current groupas  though  it had not been found  in  the  firstplace.

This  is the main import function, it reads  fileswhich  contain  the full text of  scraps,  specialsettings indicators and separators between scraps.                                                  Reads  ASCII  files  as  well  as  word  processorformatted  files including those made by  WordStarand WordPerfect.                                                                                    Use primarily to import files created by the GroupExport  command,  where it can  read  the  specialsettings marks inserted by that command, but  alsouseful for importing data from other applications.                                                  If  an  application can make a text  file  with  aunique  separator  string on a line  between  eachrecord then the file can be imported smoothly intoScraps using this command.                        The  main  export function this writes  ASCII  fileswhich contain the full text of scraps and optionallyspecial  settings indicators and separators  betweenscraps.                                                                                                 The   settings   indicators   and   separators   arerecognized by the Group Import command allowing  youto transfer scraps to and fro while maintaining  allof  their special attributes such as  reminders  andprotected status.                                   Deletes  all scraps in the group.  Will  prompt  forconformation, can be set to delete protected  scrapsor to ask on each one.                                                                                  Conformation defaults to OFF if Expert mode is ON.  Go into special list mode where each scrap is  shownon one line.                                                                                            This  is handy for quickly moving to the  scrap  youwant.  Most helpful if each scrap has a recognizable`title' or subject as its first line.               Empty the group. As with Reject this does not affectthe  actual scraps, merely whether they are part  ofthe current group.                                  Reduce the group to only this scrap.  As with Rejectthis  does  not  affect the  actual  scraps,  merelywhether they are part of the current group.         This   powerful  command  performs  global  changes  to   the`Settings' of all the scraps in the group.

Set this option on if you are going to use Scraps primarily  asa  reminder system.  Even if you don't you can always  use  thecommand  from  the  Find  menu  to  search  for  your   currentreminders.                                                                                                                    Turning  this  command  on means that the  alarm  function,  ifactivated, will be updated with the next due alarms every  timeScraps is started.                                             Initially  this setting is off but you may want to turn  it  onafter  you  are totally familiar with Scraps  operation.   Whenexpert mode is on there are less prompt messages shown.                                                                       For example when picking the command to delete a scrap you willnot get a chance to cancel the operation if expert mode is on.                                                                Also  the Find commands will not stop and say how  many  scrapshave been found.                                               If turned on Scraps to go into List mode afterfinding scraps.                               Scraps will chime when a reminder is due if this isturned  on AND a check for due reminders  has  beendone.    For  this  reason  it  is  best  used   inconjunction  with  the  "Check  for  reminders   atstartup" option.                                                                                      In DESQview if Scraps is running when the  reminderbecomes  due it will become the top window  on  thescreen.                                                                                               If  you  want alarms turn this on even if  you  areusing  SAlarm or ScrDV to provide alarms while  youare outside Scraps.                                Normally leave this option set at the default of NO.But  if you are using a windowing system and do  notwant Scraps to write directly to the screen you  mayset it to Yes.                                                                                          If  you change this setting it comes into effect  atonce.  This can cause strange video effects in  somesituations.   Exit  the program and restart  to  fixthis.                                               Initially set to Force Mono you may want to changethis to Autoselect unless you have a colour  videocard with a mono monitor as that combination mightproduce unreadable `colour' text.                 Normally when saving a new Scrap you are promptedfor a reminder date.  If you rarely use the scrapreminder  functions then turning this  option  onwill supress the prompt.                         Set the serial port to the port that your modem isconnected to.                                     You will not need to change the default Modem initstring  unless  you have unusual  requirements  inwhich case you should refer to your modem manual.                                                   This string is issued before dialing as well as tohangup the modem.                                 You may want to change the default modem dialstring to set Tone or Pulse dialing.                                                      Check  your modem manual for details on  thisstrings.                                     Specify  the  Printer  Setup  string.    Thisstring   is  sent  to  the   printer   beforeprinting.                                                                                 Enter  control codes by preceding  them  withthe # sign and followed by a $ sign.                                                      For example:                                                                              To enter the code "Escape Q" type:                                                           #27$Q                                     Specify  the  Printer  Reset  string.    Thisstring is sent to the printer after printing.                                             Enter  control codes by preceding  them  withthe # sign and followed by a $ sign.                                                      For example:                                                                              To enter the code "Escape C" type:                                                           #27$C                                     Specify which printer port to use.Enter your name as it is written on your licenseagreement.                                                                                      When   entered  correctly  together  with   yourregistration  code it will be `locked' and  willnot be changeable.                              Enter you registration code as it is written  onyour license agreement.                                                                         When  entered correctly together with your  nameit will be `locked' and will not be changeable. If a password is specified then Scraps will prompt for thatpassword when it first runs and require that it be  enteredcorrectly before it continues.                                                                                        Passwords  are not case sensitive.  Passwords  can  containany  printable characters including spaces and  punctuationmarks and can be up to 36 characters long.                                                                            Passwords   are  recorded,  in  encrypted  form,   in   theSCRAPS.DAT file.                                                                                                      If  the  password  field is left  blank  then  Scraps  runswithout asking for a password.                             Each scrap has an Encryption setting which may be either onor  off.   The default is specified in the  Setup  securitydialogue box.                                                                                                         When the encrypt setting of a scrap is on, Scraps will savethe text of the scrap in loosely encrypted form instead  ofas plain text.  The encryption process does not effect yourfinding, viewing or editing the scrap in any way.                                                                     Read   the  manual  for  information  pertaining   to   thelimitations of this encryption.                            Enter  or  edit the names of projects.  To  use  a  projectnumber  it  must  be  given a  name.   The  names  are  forconvenience, actual checks are done on the project number. Activate  or deactivate projects.  An `X' beside a  projectshows  that it is active.  Move the cursor to each  projectand use the space bar to turn the X on and off.                                                                       When  a  project  is OFF any scrap  that  belongs  to  thatproject becomes `un-findable' by any of the find commands. Specify the file name of the file containing thegroup  to be imported.  It may be an ASCII  fileor a word processor file.                                                                       DOS  wildcards (? and *) are accepted  to  allowimporting  several  files.   If  you  specify  awildcard  in the file name then you must use  anarrow  key or Tab to leave this field.   If  youpress Enter Scraps will pop up a file  selectionbox based upon the wild card.                   Enter the string that divides the differentscraps within each file.

You  may  select  <none> so  as  to  remove  theProject setting from the scraps.                Specify the Project to which the scrapsshould  be set if the  previous  optionapplies.                               Enter your Scraps password.All  your  work in the  calculator  hasbeen saved on a `tape'.  If you say yeshere the tape is copied onto the editorclipboard.                                                                    You  may  then  use  the  editor  Pastecommand to paste the tape into a scrap.When set OFF Scraps uses the country specificinformation  supplied by DOS. To set the  DOScountry  use  the  COUNTRY=  command  in  theCONFIG.SYS.                                                                               When set ON the other fields in this dialoguebox are used instead.                                                                     Using the DOS settings is better as it allowsScraps to highly configure its date, time andnumber  formats to match your  country.  Readyour  DOS  reference guide for  more  detailsabout COUNTRY=.                              Select the date order.  This field is only used ifthe above field is ON.                                                                              It  is better to set the above field OFF  and  setyour  COUNTRY= correctly.  Doing so will not  onlycause  Scraps  to adjust itself in this  and  manyother ways to your country but will also allow DOSand other programs to so adjust.                  Use or override the DOS provided countryspecific information.

Viewing a group:                                      A  use  of the Find command often finds  more  than  asingle  scrap.   All  those found  become  part  of  a`group'.  You can move through the group with the GreyPlus and Minus keys on the far right of the  keyboard.Watch  the  group indicator in the top  right  of  thescreen  to see how big the group is and where you  arein  it.

Move from  onefield to the next in a dialogue box with the Tab key.                                                       Field :                                               A  space  on a dialogue box for you to enter  data  ormake selections.  There are several kinds of fields.                                                        Find :                                                A  find  is a way of searching through the  scraps  tolocate  ones that match a particular criterion.   Mostoften a find is used to look for scraps that contain aword or phrase or set of words or phrases.  Finds  canalso look for scraps that have particular dates set.                                                    As a freeform data base Scraps relieves you of thestraight-jacket imposed by most data base programsbut  at the same time it takes away a lot  of  thestructure and safeguards you may be familiar with.To  help you get the best out of Scraps  here  aresome hints on usage.                                                                                Keep retrieval in mind:                                                                             The  real importance of the stored information  isnot  the storing but the retrieving of  it.   Thatbeing the case it is worth always considering  howyou  are going to want to look something  up  whenyou enter it.                                                                                       Use standard words:                                                                                 Sprinkle  your  scraps  liberally  with   standardkeywords,  pick those words yourself so that  theymake  sense to you.  For example you might  chooseto  always  put the word "PHONE" in a  scrap  thatcontains a telephone number, and "ADDRESS" in  onethat holds an address.                                                                              This  ensures  that  you will  not  fail  to  findsomething  because  you used a term in  the  scrapdifferent  to that which you are using  to  searchfor it.                                                                                             Throw in keywords:                                                                                  When  several  different  words  can  be  used  todescribe  a key concept put all of them  into  thescrap. In a scrap about cheap airline tickets type"AIR  PLANE AIRPLANE CHEAP ECONOMY TICKETS  FARES"across the bottom of the scrap.  That way you  canensure  that you'll find the scrap when  you  needit, regardless of how you ask for it.                                                               Use a title line:                                                                                   Make  the first line in every scrap a title  line.At  least make sure that the subject of the  scrapis clear from the first line.

Every  dialogue box has at least one of these selection  buttons.The  only  way  to leave a dialogue box is to  pick  one  of  theselection buttons or to press the Escape key.                    The  Scraps commands are all menu based.  Along the top of  thescreen  is  a  highlighted bar showing the  names  of  all  theavailable menus.                                                                                                              In  the  name of each option one letter is  high-lighted,  holddown   the  Alt  key  and  press  the  key  on  your   keyboardcorresponding to the high-lighted letter to pull down the menu.                                                               Each  line  of a menu describes one option available  from  themenu.                                                                                                                         One line will be high-lighted by a selection bar.  You can movethe selection bar up and down with the up and down arrow  keys.Pressing  the  up  key  while on the  first  option  moves  theselection bar to the last option, and visa versa with the  downkey on the last option.                                                                                                       To select an option either move the bar to the option and pressthe  Enter  key  or press the key corresponding  to  the  high-lighted  letter in the name of the option.  This latter way  ofselecting an option works regardless of where the selection baris.

Pressing thiskeyboard combination will select the command while on any menu,or in the Editor, without the need to pull down the menu first.                                                               Keyboard  shortcuts can save you a lot of time.  It is  a  goodidea to remember at least the most commonly used ones.                                                                        Use the left and right arrow keys to move to different menus.                                                                 The Escape key will cancel the menu and return you to the scrapeditor.                                                        This is the List Mode.  Each scrap in the group is  representedby its first line only.

The  list  will scroll as you move beyond  the  visible  screenarea.
