`Search forms
Prolifics provides additional search forms which search for library functions and for text within code examples. Choose Book⇒Search Forms (Windows) or Search⇒Forms (Motif).
`Alternate documentation views
To automatically open the graphics, instead of displaying them as icons, on the View menu, choose View⇒Main⇒Inline. (The default setting is Fulltext.)
To view a list of tables in the documentation, on the View menu, choose View⇒TOC⇒Tabletoc.
`Public and private annotations
You can create your own notes inside the documentation using annotations. The annotations are stored in the directory location specified in your .ebtrc (Motif) or dynatext.ini (Windows) file.
`Print capability
You can print any section of the documentation or its table of contents to a PostScript printer or file. After you choose File⇒Print:
•Highlight the desired section of the documentation. (It defaults to the current section of documentation in the book window.)
•Choose the desired print format: full text or table of contents.
•To print to a PostScript file, modify the Print Setup in Windows, or select the Print to File check box in Motif.
Note: Unless you print an entire chapter, the introductory paragraphs will not be printed. If you highlight Prolifics, DynaText will attempt to print the entire documentation set.
