Tutorial
*If a command is on the Main Command Menu, its com- mand key will also work “outside” the menu
For example, from Top Level, the “fast path” to the COPY command is “//C”. The first slash displays the Main Command Menu, the second slash displays the Secondary Command Menu (EXTRA command), and C is the command key for COPY. You can press the keys as quickly as you wish; you don’t have to wait for each menu to appear before pressing the next command key.
*Command prefixes are helpful but never necessary. If you don’t enter one, ThinkTank assumes its most likely value (usually one). For example, if you don’t precede a NEW option with a command prefix, ThinkTank will create the new headline one position away.
*The RETURN key works differently “inside” and “outside” command menus. While a menu is displayed, the RETURN key selects the highlighted option. From Top Level, you can use it as a “reading” key (see READ in the reference guide). At other times, you may be prompted to use the RETURN key to tell ThinkTank that an entry is satisfactory.
*Executing EXPAND or COLLAPSE from Top Level bypasses the command menu which is displayed when you select either of these commands from the Main Command
Menu. The menu lets you choose whether to expand or collapse headlines, paragraphs, or both. If you don’t want both, which is what you get from Top Level, you must go through the menu.
