<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0

<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
The tips feature provides a random usage tip every time you start-up xmlterm.
<br>
Click on the <span class="helphighlight">New Tip</span> link to the left,
if you would like a new tip.<br>
Click on the <span class="helphighlight">Explain Tip</span> link to the
right, for more information on the tip.<br>
Set user <span class="helphighlight">Level</span> to <b>advanced</b> to turn
off
tips.
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='level'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
The <b>level</b> setting is a measure of the user's familiarity with
XMLterm features. The <em>beginner</em> setting can produce a lot of help
information. The <em>intermediate</em> setting produces less information,
and <em>advanced</em> setting produces virtually none.<br>
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='icons'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
The <b>icons</b> preference setting determines whether icons should be used
in XMLterm. If enabled, the prompt becomes an icon and directory listings
become a GUI-style table of icons. This can use up a lot of screen space
and slow things down on older computers.
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='windows'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
The <b>windows</b> preference setting determines whether double-clicking
icons etc. executes commands in a new window (as in a GUI) or in the
same window (as in a CLI).
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='clicking'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
The browser interface uses one-click activation of commands whereas many
GUIs use one-click selection and double-click activation. Since XMLterm
has browser and GUI features, it can get a bit confusing. The rules are:
Single click any explicit underlined <a href="#">hyperlink</a>,
browser-style. Any highlighted implicit
<span class="highlight">hyperlink</span> needs to be double clicked
for activation, with the exception of the command prompt!
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='prompt'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
Clicking on the command prompt expands/collapses the output associated with
a command. An underlined prompt denotes the collapsed state.
You can even click the prompt before you type the command, which would
hide the output of the command! To hide the output of all commands,
use the F1 (or ctl-Home) shortcut key.<br>
Any string, plain text or HTML, may be used as the command prompt, by typing
<b>js:SetPrompt('string')</b> in the command line. This means that you can
use any image as a prompt, through the IMG element. The prompt can even be
an animated GIF!
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='command'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
Double-clicking on any prior command line re-executes the command. This
is similar to the facility provided by many shells for repeating commands.
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='js'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
Typing <b>js:</b><em>statement</em> in the command line executes any valid
Javascript <em>statement</em> in the context of the XMLterm window and
displays its output. The Javascript code may produce a HTML fragment as its
output, which is then appended to the XMLterm page.
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='full-screen'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
The following full-screen commands appear to work with XMLTerm:<br>
<b>less</b>, <b>vi</b>, <b>emacs -nw</b>, <b>man</b>, and <b>pine</b>.<br>
<b>more</b> does not work at the moment; settle for <b>less</b>
instead!<br>
The XMLterm full screen implementation actually uses a bunch of PRE elements,
one for each row.
</div>
</table>
<p>
<a name='xls'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
<b>xls</b> <em>directory1 file2 ...</em> lists directory contents,
analogous to the Unix <em>ls</em> command.<br>
Double-clicking on a directory name makes it the current working directory
and displays its contents.<br>
Double-clicking on an executable file or script executes it in the current
directory.<br>
Double-clicking on other files runs the <a href='#xls'>xcat</a>
command on the file.
Set <a href='#icons'>Icons</a> setting to <em>on</em> to enable iconic
directory listing.
<br>
</div>

<p>
<a name='xcat'></a>
<table class="tiptable" width='100%' height=120 frame=none border=0
cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>
<div class="tipelement">
<b>xcat</b> <em>file1 file2 ...</em> displays files, analogous to the Unix
cat command. With xcat, you can use URLs instead of filenames!<br>
Image files or URLs (GIF/PNG/JPEG) are rendered inline, providing a cool
way to browse images<br>
HTML files or URLs are displayed in an inline frame. The frame height,
in pixels, may be specified using the <em>-h</em> option.<br>
Text files are displayed with any embedded URLs highlighted (and clickable).
