Upgrading MacCharlie to 3.0

This supplement explains how to upgrade previous copies of I the MacCharlie Application Software to version 3.0.

Upgrading MacCharlie to 3.0

This supplement explains how you upgrade previous copies of the MacCharlie Application Software to version 3.0. The main new features in version 3.0 deal with printing and file transfer. For printing flexibility, it is now possible to print from MacCharlie to an ImageWriter or LaserWriter printer attached directly to your Macintosh, as well as using a printer attached to the ports on MacCharlie. File transfers have been improved with version 3.0 to allow transferring more than one file at a time and to provide for different types of files. These features are described in detail in their own supplements: Printer Operations and File Transfers.

• Requirements To upgrade the ·MacCharlie application software version 3.0 you need the follow ing:

3-1/2 inch MacCharlie 3.0 Application Disk 5-1/4 inch MacCharlie 3.0 Utility Diskette MacCharlie Macintosh or Macintosh Plus computer

. . . • Step by Step 1. MacCharlie has two types of memory: Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM). For performance reasons, it is recommended that version 3.0 MacCharlie Application Software be used on ROM level 4. First, verify that the ROM in the existing MacCharlie is at revision level 4. Here's how:

When you open the MacCharlie application from your Macintosh desktop, a screen titled "About MacCharlie" is available by using the desk accessory pull-down menu. The ROM level in your MacCharlie is shown in the lower left corner ofthat screen. (ROM versions before 3.0 will not show any level on this screen, but at least you'll know the ROM should be upgraded.)

2. If the ROM in the MacCharlie needs to be changed, contact Dayna Technical Support at 1-800-531-0600. If not, go on to step 3. 3. Make a backup copy of your new 3-1/2 inch MacCharlie Application Disk by following the intructions given in your Macintosh user's manual. 1'4ake a backup copy of the 5-1/4 inch MacCharlie Utility Diskette by following the intructions in your MS-DOS manual.

Printer Operations 7 • Print Procedure An Image Writer I or II printer can be connected through the Image Writer port for on MacCharlie. The ImageWriter is accessed as LPTl and will, in rn,ost ImageWriter cases, respond to the same command set as an ffiM PC graphics printer. Connected to There are some variations, however, due to the physical limitations of the MacCharlie ImageWriter. Printing output from the MacCharlie software application program to the Image Writer printer is referred to as printing in the ffiM PC emulation mode. To confi&UN the ffiM PC application software to print to an IBM PC ~aphics printer refer to user documentation s.pecific to that software. ·

The following are printing considerations to be made when printing to an ImageWriter connected to MacCharlie:

DIP Switch Settings When an Image Writer printer is connected to MacCharlie, the following DIP switch settings should be used:

12345678 SWl 0 0 0 0 C X X 0 . SW2 CCOX

0=0pen C= Oosed X = Doesn't Care For more information on setting your ImageWriter DIP switches, refer to your ImageWriter manual.

Power Switch

Do not turn the power switch on your Image Writer printer off and then back on if you are working in the ffiM PC emulation mode. All printer controls are held in memory by MacCharlie and will be lost -If the Image Writer printer is turned off and then back on, it is necessary to send a Master Reset code to the printer. The Master Reset code is , and when sent to the printer, all parameters in the printer will be set to power up conditions and the top of form will be set to the current position. For example, in GW­ BASIC, you would type the command: /print chr$(27),·chr$(64)

Printer Operations 8 Form or Manual Paper Feeding Form lengths and skip-over-perforation lengths are calculated by MacCharlie rather than the Image Writer when operating the printer in the ffiM PC emulation mode. Therefore, you should not use the form feed button on the printer or manually advance the paper. Manually advancing the paper causes the printer to lose its top-of-form setting. If it is necessary to manually advance the paper, the top-of-form setting can be reset by moving the paper to the top-of{orm and sending a Master Reset to the printer. Refer to the Power Switch section on the previous page. The ffiM PC graphics printer advances the paper in increments of 11216 of an inch, while the Imagewriter advances paper in increments of 11144 of an inch. It is not possible to make the Imagewriter advance paper 11216 of an inch. All line feeds or form feeds which are calculated in 216ths of an inch on the ffiM PC graphics printer will be rounded to the nearest 144ths of an inch. In most cases, the difference will be insignificant, since most commonly used line spacings for· both text and graphics result in an exact number of increments in either 144ths or 216ths of an inch.

Graphic and Foreign Language Characters The Image Writer printer supports most, but not all, of the graphics characters and foreign language cha.ra.Cters available in the ffiM PC graphics printer. Therefore, . all foreign language characters that are not supported by the Image Writer will print as a "." (period), and all graphics characters that are not supported will be printed as a solid black rectangle. All foreign language characters which are supported by the Image Writer will print normally in the ffiM PC emulation mode The graphics printing pitch on the ffiM PC graphics printer is different from that on the Imagewriter. Therefore, appearance and/or size of some graphics images may vary slightly.

Double Striking of Characters The Image Writer printer does not allow double striking of characters. When printing output from MacCharlie, double strike prjnting is exactly the same as emphasized printing.

SuperScripts and Subscripts The Image Writer printer does not normally support superscripts or subscripts. In the ffiM emulation mode, superscripts and subscripts are printed by moving the paper forward or backward one-half line and printing a normal size character.

Printer Operations 9 Escape Codes Whenever two consecutive ESCape codes are sent to the printer followed by a character, that character will be sent directly to the printer with no emulation. This feature makes it possible to stay in emulation mode and still send commands directly to the Imagewriter. For example, you could, in GW­ BASIC, type the command lprint chr$(27);chr$(27);chr$(nn) where nn represents the ASCll code of the character being sent

Print Selection The Page Setup feature is operable only when used in conjunction with the Print Selection feature on MacCharlie and does not affect MS-DOS printout. If you select Draft Quality, the MacCharlie font is ignored. This means that characters specific to the IBM PC are not interpreted correctly.

If you select Standard Quality, the MacCharlie font is recognized and all characters, including IBM PC, are interpreted correctly. The High Quality print selection doubles the character resolution, but takes longer to print. Character attributes (bold, underline, reverse video, etc.) are not interpreted when using Print Selection. · Note: An explanation of the MacCharliefont is in the File Transfer supplement.

File Transfers

This supplement explains the ftle transfer features that have been improved I since the MacCharlie User's manual was written.

File Transfers

' This supplement explains the file transfer procedures required when transferring files between Macintosh and MacCharlie or vice versa. MacCharlie's file transfer feature allows the user to view and transfer directories, subdirectories, and files to and from MacCharlie/Macintosh. All transfers of complete files are handled from the MacCharlie window. Before you attempt any file transfers, you should read this entire supplement. All file transfers are started by using the File pull-down menu, once both the Macintosh and MacCharlie are up and running. The pull-down menu gives two file transfer options: Transfer File to MacCharlie, and Transfer File to Macintosh.

• Selecting File There are three possible file transfer modes that can be selected when Transfer Mode executing a file transfer command: Binary, Text, or MacBinary file transfer mode. It is important that you become familiar with each mode and the types of files they are used with to ensure the integrity of the files once they undergo a transfer.

Binary File Transfer is used for straight byte-for-byte file transfer of information residing in a file. Files that are typically transferred in Binary mode are non-Macintosh ftles such as workfiles, spreadsheets, and databases. Binazy mode should always be used for ftles to be converted by translation software.

File Transfers 3 No translation is performed during binary ftle transfer. For best result use the MacCharlie font when displaying the transferred file. If you need to use a font other than the MacCharlie font, manual translation (retyping text) is necessary after the transfer is complete. You'll fmd information· about the MacCharlie font on the next page.

MacBinary File Transfer is used for transferring fully intact Macintosh files. By using MacBinary mode, all the Macintosh file's icon, folder information, and contents are organized into a standard format. MacBinary can, for example, be used to store Macintosh flles on MacCharlie if the files are transferred in MacBinary mode in both directions. When the file is returned to the Macintosh, the original contents, icon, and folder information reappears.

Text (ASCm File Transfer is used for transferring data information of a text document and appropriately formatting it based on the direction of the transfer. When transferring a file to Macintosh, the line feed at the end of each line (a characteristic ofMS-OOS formatted flies) will automatically be stripped. When transferring files in the opposite direction (to MacCharlie) a line feed will be inserted at the end of each line. Because of this, it is important that only text files be transferred using this mode. Otherwise, the appearance of the document transferred will most likely be affected.

A transferred file should then always be opened with an appropriate application. For example, open a transferred word processing file with a word processing application and a spreadsheet file with a spreadsheet application. There are different variables that may be used when transferring a text file. For example, if you open the file with Mac Write, the prompt, "Should carriage returns be interpreted as line breaks or paragraph breaks?" will be displayed. When opening a text only file, the LINE button deletes carriage returns at the end of each line, and when saving a text only file the LINE button adds a carriage return the end of each line. Choosing the PARAGRAPH button makes no changes to the displayed file. (Although MacWrite is the program we have chosen for these e~amples it is not the only program you can transfer to.) The following table illustrates the possible combinations of carriage returns with files, along with the appropriate results.

Word processing files should be transferred from MacCharlie to Macintosh, using the Paragraph button, and from Macintosh to MacCharlie, using the Line button. Word processing files should be prepared for transfer to MacCharlie by saving them as text only f:Jles. · Because ASCll has standardized only the codes 0 through 127, a few cautions and restrictions apply when transferring text files. Only characters which are common to the American usage of the English language are represented in the first 128 characters of the ASCll code. However, the codes 0 through 31 are reserved for control codes or, on some systems, for special characters. The character codes 128 through 255 (referred to as the Extended Character Set) can be used to represent foreign language characters and special symbols, but these characters vary from system to system.

• MacCharlie When transferring files from IBM to Macintosh, or from Macintosh to IBM, - Font· characters from 0-31 and 128-255 may be garbled or deleted. To avoid problems transferring text f:Jles from MacCharlie to Macintosh, you may fmd it necessary to use the MacCharlie font To do this

1. Select the entire f:Jle. 2. Pull down the Font menu and select the MacCharlie font In many cases any other non-proportional font will also give you a clean looking document. Because the MacCharlie font is an emulation of the IBM font, codes 32 through 255 will be represented correctly. The Mac Charlie font may be transferred to other Macintosh application disks by using the font mover. Refer to the instructions that you received with your system update disk or to later verisons of

File Transfers 5 the Macintosh manual for details on how install the MacCharlie font The _ MacCharlie font is located in the System File on the MacCharlie disk. Tables at the end of this supplement represent Hexidecimal and Decimal character positions along with their corresponding IBM and Macintosh ASCII codes. Table 1 represents Decimal codes 0-31, and Table 2 represents Decimal codes 128-255. Because the ASCIT characters for codes 32-127 are identical for IBM and Macintosh, they are not represented in a table. The MacCharlie MS-OOS manual has a complete ASCIT code chart for your reference. The characters marked with an asterisk (*) are not available in both IBM and Macintosh character sets.

Keyboard Changes

This supplement explains changes in the use of the I keyboard since the original MacCharlie User's manual was written

Keyboard Changes

Keyboard changes made to MacCharlie stem from the desire to minimize the differences between Macintosh and ffiM PC keyboards and to the new design of the Macintosh Plus keyboard. This section explains the changes.

•Keyboard A set of adhesive keycap labels are now enclosed with your MacCharlie Keycap Labels User's Manual so you can label ffiM PC keys on the Macintosh keyboard. Follow the instructions included with the labels for correct installation on the Macintosh keys.

• Foreign A special keyboard driver must be installed to run MacCharlie with non-U.S. Language versions of the Macintosh 512 or Macintosh Plus keyboards. These keyboard Keyboards drivers are on the MacCharlie Utility Diskette, described in the supplement called MacCharlie Utility Diskette. They include:

Great Britain KEYBUK.COM France KEYBFR.COM Germany . KEYBGR.COM Iceland KEYBIC.COM

Install the driver you need as follows: 1. Copy the appropriate driver from the MacCharlie Utility Diskette to the root directory of any MS-:OOS system diskette or hard disk. For copy procedures, refer to your MS-DOS manual.

2. Use a text editor such as EDLJN to add the driver line to the beginning of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the target (i.e. not the MacCharlie Utility) diskette. For example, in Germany, the first line of the AUTOEXEC.BA T flle should be: KEYBGR.

•using a To run MacCharlie on a Macintosh 128 or 512 an extra keyboard extension is Macintosh Plus needed with function keys and a numeric keypad. With Macintosh Plus, Keyboard with however, no keyboard extension is needed. MacCharlie Its larger, more functional keyboard contains a numeric keypad. With the Macintosh Plus, the extra capabilities needed are built into "soft keys," that is, graphical representation of keys, accessible right on the Macintosh screen by using the mouse. This section explains how to use these new keyboard functions.

Keyboard Changes 1 Macintosh Plus users will, obviously, not need to install the Keyboard Extension. They should store the Keyboard Extension in a safe place, in case they want to move MacCharlie to an earlier level Macintosh in the future.

Numeric Keypad The numeric keypad on the Macintosh Plus looks like the keypad on an IBM PC, but the functions of some keys vary. To see which keys activate which IBM functions, pull down the Keyboard menu and select Show Keypad. A diagram of the keypad will appear with the appropriate legends on each key.

Clear +N'II:m. PrtSe Loek k ..!---.. ~ ~ ~ ~~·-1 [] ~:.~~ D lD D lD 0 E:lltcr ~ [J ~:... ~

• TRANSFER.COM TRANSFER. COM is a program used when mes are transferred between Installation Ma.cCharlie and Macintosh. If the TRANSFER. COM program is not present in one of the disk drives during a me transfer, the me will not transfer. To install TRANSFER.COM on a diskette:

1. Start MacCharlie. 2. ' After.the A> appears on the screen, insert the MacCharlie Utility Diskette in Drive A and a target diskette in Drive B. 3. At A> type in: COPY A:TRANSFER.COM B:

• Clock Driver The MacCharlie Utility Diskette contains a clock/calendar driver which gets Installation the date and the time from the Macintosh alarm clock. You can install this and Use driver on any DOS diskette by using the MacCharlie Utility Diskette.

MacCharlie Utility Diskette 1 This will eliminate the need for typing in the date and time when you start MacCharlic. The procedure for installing the Clock Driver is as follows. Consult your MS-DOS manual for details about commands.

1. Load MS-OOS into MacCharlie, using the diskette on which the clock driver is to be installed

2. Insert the MacCharlie Utility Diskette in Drive B.

3. Make drive B the default drive by typing B: followed by a carriage return.

4. Type CWCKIN A: followed by a carriage return.

5. You may wish to remove the DATE and TIME commands from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (if you have one) using EDLIN or some other text editing program.

You can add the clock driver to any diskette or hard disk by placing the MacCharlie Utility Disk in the default drive, and then typing CLOCKIN D: where "D" is the drive designator of the target drive.

·You can also install the clock driver manually using the following steps. Consult your MS-DOS manual for details about commands.

1. Copy the file CLOCK.SYS from the MS-OOS diskette to the target diskette.

2. Using the DIR command, check the target diskette to see if CONFIG.SYS exists. If it does not, copy CONFIG.SYS from the MacCharlie Utility Diskette to the target diskette. (If you cannot find a copy of CONFIG.SYS on your MacCharlie Utility Diskette, you can use EDLIN or some other editor program to create the file and add the following line to it: device=CLOCK.SYS.)

3. If there is no AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the diskette, copy AUTOEXEC.BAT from the MacCharlie Utility Diskette to the target diskette. If you forget to do this, MacCharlit? will ask for the date and time every time it starts and will ignore the response. If there is an AUTOEXEC.BAT f:tle, make sure there are no DATE or TIME commands in it

Removing the Clock Driver

If you no longer want to get the date and time from the Macintosh alarm clock, you can remove the clock/calendar driver. Remove the DEVICE=CWCK.SYS line from the CONFIG.SYS flle. You can delete CONFIG.SYS completely if that is the only line. You can also delete CLOCK.SYS. To force MacCharlie to ask for the date and time when it starts, either delete AUTOEXEC.BAT (if there are no other commands in it) MacCharlie Utility Diskette 2 or add the DATE and TIME commands to AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult your MS-OOS manual for for details about commands. Changing the Date or Time

If the MacCharlie Clock Driver has been installed on the diskette, do not try to use the DOS DATE or TIME commands to change the date or time. No error messages will be displayed, but MacCharlie will ignore the new date and time. If you wish to change the date and time, do so by pulling down the Apple menu at the top left of your screen and selecting the Alarm Clock from the Desktop Utilities. See your Macintosh user's manual for instructions on how to set the alarm clock.

Clock Resolution Note to promnuners only: The MacCharlie clock has a resolution of one second. Software which attempts to read ·the clock faster than once per second may not function properly. It is best not to install the MacCharlie clock driver on diskettes containing such programs. This simply means that you will have to type in the date and time when asked during the DOS boot up.

• Foreign A special keyboard driver must be installed to run MacCharlie with non-U.S. Language versions of the Macintosh 512 or Macintosh Plus keyboards. These keyboard Keyboards drivers are:

Other Miscellaneous Changes

This supplement explains several miscellaneous additions and I changes to how MacCharlie runs. This information is not · covered in the MacCharlie User's Manual.

Other Miscellaneous Changes

This supplement covers several minor additions to and clarifications about the operation of MacCharlie that are not explained in the MacCharlie User's Manual.

• Changing When you are loading the Microsoft MS-DOS diskette, the cursor on the Cursor screen will change from a wristwatch to an arrow. If the cursor is within the text window on the screen, it will subsequently change from an arrow to the text cursor. If this sequence does not occur, it indicates that a communi­ cations failure exists between MacCharlie and Macintosh. Check that your cables are properly connected, and that MacCharlie is connected through the proper port on the Macintosh.

•Pause Under the Commands menu there is a Pause/Resume MacCharlie MacCharlie command which temporarily suspends an application running on MacCharlie. Once envoked,. the Pause command will prevent any action from occuring within the application, including executing commands, changing the screen image, deleting text, etc. The Pause command is especially useful for momentarily freezing the screen action during a directory listing to give you more time to review the listing before the file scrolls off the screen. The Resume MacCharlie command sets the application running again.

• Cursor MacCharlie has a feature called "cursor tracking" which is enabled anytime Tracking/ you reduce the size of the MacCharlie window. Cursor tracking enables the MacCharlie visible part of the window to follow the movements of the cursor. Running Window an ffiM PC software package in which changes on one part of the screen cause changes to occur on other parts of the screen, as happens within a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet, is not recommended. If you are running such a software application on your MacCharlie, it is recommend that you leave the MacCharlie window full size to disable the cursor tracking feature.

• Disable Under the Commands menu, there is a Disable/Enable Blink command Blink which disables or enables the MS-OOS application character blink attribute. Option Since Macintosh has no built-in "blinking" characters, blinking characters can be simulated by MacCharlie by erasing and redrawing a character in rapid succession. This works well if there are only a few blinking characters on the screen, but it may become cumbersome on a full blinking screen. Each blinking character on the screen will be erased before it is redrawn, therefore, an entire screen of blinking characters will appear to be very slow. To disable

Other Miscellaneous Changes 1 blinking characters completely. select the Disable Blink option from the Commands menu. • Screen Speed MacCharlie is not recommended for real-time games unless equipped with an expansion chassis and a separate color monitor. In situations where an IBM PC-compatible program attempts to repaint the entire screen more than once every few seconds (the most typical example would be real-time games), MacCharlie may begin to lag behind. In such situations, MacCharlie compensates by just "skipping ahead" to the point where the program is drawing. This may cause the screen to look strange for a while, but in every case, MacCharlie will catch up. In most (if not all) business software, this behavior is tolerable, but some real-time game software may be unusable.

• Text Selection When selecting large areas of text, such as in the Cut/Paste or Page Setup features, you may select lines scrolled off the top of the screen in addition to the current screen. The procedure for doing so is as follows:

l.Use the scroll bar on the right of the screen to scroll to the top of the information you wish to select 2.Place the cursor at the top of the area you want selected. 3.Select the text by dragging the mouse down to the bottom of the area you wish to select ·i 4.1f th~ selection covers more than a page or two it may be easier to use the SIDFT key option for selecting additional data Move the pointer to the bottom of the data you want. Before selecting the rest of the text, press the SHIFT key to add to the previously selected area. The complete area, both on-screen and off-screen, is now selected. 5.MacCharlie software has been updated to use character translation on clipboard (Copy/Paste) and text flle transfers on all foreign language versions. When using information that has undergone character translation, the MacCharlie font cannot be used on the Macintosh. Note: For information on the MacCharliefont, see the File Transfer supplement.

Using Switcher with MacCharlie

I This supplement explains how to use the Switcher program with MacCharlie. APPLE COMPUTER, INC. MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE ENCLOSED COMPUTER SOFTWARE PACKAGE, ITS MERCHANTABILITY OR ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY MAY COVER RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

The Switcher Program is a copyrighted program of Apple Computer, Inc. licensed to Dayna Communications, Inc. to distribute for use only in combination with MacCharlie software. Using Switcher with MacClzarlie

• Introduction Switcher is a software program for the Apple Macintosh that enables you to switch between several different applications at one time, without closing the application each time or loading your system. Dayna Communications has packaged Switcher with MacCharlie to give you the convenience of coprocessing- between Macintosh and ffiM software, and coprocessing between actual applications--including MacCharlie applications. Switcher operates by allocating sections of your Macintosh Random Access Memory (RAM) for use by each application. At this point, Switcher regards MacCharlie as just another a:pplication, so your MacCharlie RAM is left free until you launch a MacCharlie application. i Switcher is. a powerful, convenient, timesaving tool. You can save hours of work by using it in conjunction with MacCharlie. With Switcher installed, you can Wljte a report in Mac Write, switch to MacCharlie (with, for example, Lotus 1-2.:.3 installed), copy a table into the clipboard, switch back to you report in MacWrite, and paste your table into your report.

• Hardware Switcher allows a user to switch back and forth from MacCharlie as well as · Requirements other applications. Mter switching into the MacCharlie window, MacCharlie behaves as usual. Switcher works just as well with a 256KB MacCharlie as it does with a 640KB MacCharlie. Switcher automatically allocates 128KB of Macintosh memory for each of the applications you are running, and requires at least 40KB for its own operation. Therefore, it is recommended that your Macintosh have at least 512KB to run Switcher. By manipulating the allocated memory for your applications, you can run as many as four applications at one time. If your Macintosh is equipped with more memory, you can install more, or larger, applications. An external Apple disk drive, though not essential, will make your work go more smoothly. Otherwise, you will constantly be swapping disks as you load each application. A hard disk drive is also an added convenience--it won't add any more memory for Switcher to work with, but it will provide more disk storage space and make access to your applications faster.

Using Switcher with MacCharlie 1 • Software Switcher will work with most software for the Macintosh 128K. IBM PC Requirements software running in your MacCharlie window operates as usual. (Note: Only one MacCharlie application can be running at one time.)

• Setting Up The Switcher software is supplied on the 3-112 inch MacCharlie disk. The a Disk most convenient way to keep track of Switcher files is to keep your system flles on one disk, and your applications on another disk. Since your MacCharlie disk already contains MacCharlie, System, and Switcher this will be referred to as your System Disk.

To create your Application Disk, copy the applications you want to use onto a blank disk. For now, copy your applications software onto the disk. Because MacCharlie is already on your System Disk, there is no need to copy it onto your Applications Disk. Other applications or documents you will be using can be added as you need them. If you are not familiar with the procedure for copying files from one disk to another, refer to your Macintosh user's manual.

You should now have on your System disk: MacCharlie, System, and Switcher. You should also have a second disk, your Applications Disk, with your Macintosh Application Software on it ·

• Starting Insert your System Disk in your Macintosh and click on the Switcher icon. Switcher The following window will open:

If you insert your Applications Disk into the internal drive, you can then follow the prompts to install the application.

Once the application is installed, Switcher will return you to the Switcher window to install more applications. Continue loading applications in the same way. The size of your applications will determine how many applications you can load. By creating Switcher documents (described later in this section), you can combine different applications to give you more flexibility within Switcher. Switcher documents also enable you to save your loaded applications without having to reload them each time you want to use them.

• Switching to To go from one application to the next, you may use the switching arrow in Other the upper right corner of the screen, keyboard entry, or menu selection. The Applications documents will appear in rotation, either right or left To use the arrows in the upper right comer of the screen, place the mouse cursor on either the right or the left arrow and click it -once. If you place the mouse cursor in the center of the arrows and click it, you will be returned to the Switcher window.

To use a keyboard entry to switch applications, typing Command { switches you to the left, and "Command}" switches you to the right Typing Command-/ switches you back to the Switcher window. To use the menu selection, available only from the Switcher window, pull down the Switcher menu and click on either Switch Left or Switch Right.

Using Switcher with MacCharlie 3 • Screen Saving Switcher is able to take you quickly from one application to the next by saving a copy of each screen in memory. This feature enables you· to view each screen as soon as you switch to it, rather than waiting for the screen to be redrawn. If you need the 22KB of space it occupies, Screen Saving can be turned off. However, a few applications may not be able to redraw the screen accurately.

Note: You should never use Screen Saving with the MacCharlie application because it has its own built-in Screen Saving feature. Screen Saving can be turned on or off for individual applications. In the Switcher window, move the mouse arrow to the Macintosh icon for your desired application. Clicking the mouse on the icon will toggle Screen Save on and of[

Preferred Memozy Size is the amount of memory you first want Switcher to allocate to the application being installed. The typical allocation is 128KB, however, you may increase or decrease this amount depending on the memory needed by the applicaton. Minimum Memozy Size is the smallest amount of memory you want allocated to the application being installed. The typical allocation is 128KB, however, you may decrease this amount according to the needs of the application. The smallest amount of memory possible is 64KB.

Switcher will fust try to load the application within the preferred memory size. If that amount is insufficient, it will then try to load within the minimum memory size. If that is still insufficient, you will receive an error message. Save Screen is .a convenience feature which enables you to see the application screen .as soon as you switch to that application. Disabling Save Screen frees up 22KB of memory within the application but slows down the switching time. Pennanent is similar to clickling on the 0 K button. Any changes you make permanent will remain in the applications until they are changed.

Switcher in Rotation enables you to include the Switcher window in the set of · applications. Always Conyert CUpboard enables you to carry the contents of the clipboard from one application to another without holding down the Option key. If this feature is selected, but you do not wish to carry a particular clipboard, hold down the Option key while you switch. Note: Because this feature occupies needed memory and slows down switching between applications, we recommend you not use it for normal operations.

Using Switcher with MacCharlie 11 Switchin~ Animation enables the screen to scroll smoothly from one application to the next Without this feature enabled, the screen "jumps" between applications.

Back After Launch automatically returns you to the Switcher screen after each application is installed.
