ThinkTank Manual

Level. You can give many ThinkTank commands at this level. After executing a command, ThinkTank typically returns you to the Top Level of the program.

You can precede many commands with a command prefix which determines how many times the command will be executed or how many levels of the outline it applies to. The prefix affects only the command or option that follows it immediately.

Most commands are listed on menus. When a menu is displayed you can use the arrow keys and space bar to move a pointer called the menu cursor from one option to another. You can press RETURN to select the option highlighted by the menu cursor. In addition, all menu options have command keys which you can press to select the option without moving the menu cursor to it.

ThinkTank’s major commands are listed on two primary command menus. The most important ThinkTank commands are on the Main Command Menu, which you can display by pressing the slash (“/”) key at the Top Level of ThinkTank. The commands on this menu include:

*EXPAND

*COLLAPSE

*NEW

*MOVE

*DELETE

*EDIT

*KEYWORD

*WINDOW

*PORT

*FILES

*EXTRA

Except for DELETE and EXTRA, you can execute all of these commands from Top Level simply by pressing their command keys, without displaying the Main Command Menu.

Additional ThinkTank commands are listed on the Secondary Command Menu, which you can display by selecting EXTRA from the Main Command Menu or by pressing the slash key twice from Top Level. These commands include:
