Startup Notes</A>

Upon starting GTKeyboard, you'll be presented with a full keyboard
including all punctuation and symbols available to you on the
keyboard.
<P>
The window that is displayed has two different text boxes. The first,
which is not editable by the user, contains GTKeyboard status messages
to the user, for example, whether the CAPS LOCK key is ON or OFF,
whether the SHIFT key is ON or OFF, and other messages pertaining to
options that you can change within the program, such as whether or not
the program will ask you if you want to save on exit, and so on.
<P>
The second text box below the first, is the editable input/output
box. In this box, you can type as you would normally in any other
program, or you can hit any of the keys above on the keyboard to
insert text into this location. If you write text past the end of the
line, you will notice that the text automatically wraps around with a
small curling arrow sign at the end of the previous line showing that
you have gone past the end of that line. You may also toggle word
wrap under the <I>Misc</I> window.
<P>
All punctuation necessary for writing should be available on the
keyboard for editing.
<P>
When you are ready to save your document, you have a choice of two
things. You can either save the file under the default filename,
which is usually /tmp/GTKeyboard, or you can specify the filename you
wish to save it under and then save it. To specify the filename you
wish to save it as, click the <I>File</I> menu on the top bar, and
select <I>New File</I>. A dialog box will pop up, prompting you for
the new filename.
<P>
The status logging toggle option in the <I>Misc</I> menu is what
controls whether or not the status window's text is saved on exit of the
program. When you use the menu, it will let you know in the status
menu itself what the current setting is.
<P>
A few quick notes: The ``Clear All'' button, which is located
at the very bottom of the button row at the bottom of the application,
is <B>not</B> a cut button. It will clear all of the text
in the buffer, and it will not copy it to the X cut buffer, i.e. you
will not be able to paste that text back into the document again. For
that reason, I had to put in an ``are you sure'' popup dialog.
<P>
