Eric,
Q1:1. Say I pull up a chart in EZ-PnF, and want to look at my TC2000 screen. Because the P&F chart fills the entire screen, I can't get to the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Is there a way to do so without escaping? I want to go back and forth.
There are a number of ways Windows lets you navigate around:
1) Holding down the ALT key and pressing the TAB key will cycle through all the running applications on the toolbar.
2) Holding down the ALT key and pressing the ESC key will take you back to the desktop. EZ-PnF will be placed in the toolbar.
3) Holding down the CTRL key and pressing the ESC key will take you to the START Menu list.
Q2:I clicked the button that causes the cover page to fill the screen, and I no longer have the minimize button. How do I undo? (F10 does nothing)
Hold down the ALT key and press the ESC key to activate the desktop. Right click on EZ-PnF in the toolbar. Select PROPERTIES. Click on the SCREEN tab. Set the Usage box to 'window'. Press the 'APPLY' button, then the 'OK' button. Voila! Note: this only works to show the 'text'/dialog screens in a window (you can change the relative size of this window by adjusting the font), the p&f charts will always be full screen.
Here is a free EZ-PnF usage tip:
If you want to 'save' copies of charts to send to friends or archive or annotate or print on networked printers or non-DOS compatible printers.....
You need to use the 'via the clipboard' technique. It goes this way: when a p&f chart is displayed, press the PrtScrn key once. The screen will blink. This puts a bit map image of the display into the windows 'clipboard'. Now you can ALT-ESC to open any Windows program (or return to an already open program) that allows 'pasting' eg wordpad, word, powerpoint, freelance, etc. In the windows application you can use the Edit/Paste menu item or use the CTRL-V keys to 'paste' the chart image from the clipboard into the windows document. Once the image is in the document, you can 'get crazy' with it. Draw lines, add notes, build a series of charts, etc.
You also can 'save' the document. Write an email and 'attach as file' the document. Print the document. etc.
Enjoy, there is much more to come.
