          Update and Additions to the Harlekin Manual

                  Version 1.06 / 21 May 1990



Color and Monochrome Versions of Harlekin.

Congratulations! Harlekin now runs on both color and monochrome 
screens.

Two different Harlekin "base" programs are on this disk: 
HARLEKIN.ACX is the monochrome version and HARLECOL.ACC is the 
color version.

You must first make a backup copy of your disk. On the copy (or 
hard disk), you can decide which version of Harlekin you will 
use. The disk is already set up for a color screen. You won't 
need the HARLEKIN.ACX (the monochrome version), so just throw 
it into the rubbish bin. If you should ever later have a 
monochrome screen, you can find it again on your original disk.

If you have a monochrome screen, then you must first throw away 
the color version (HARLECOL.ACC). Next, you must change the 
extenders. HARLEKIN's extender (the last three characters, such 
as ACX or ACC) is "ACX"; this needs to be changed to "ACC" (the 
new name will be HARLEKIN.ACC"). This has the effect of "turning 
on" the monochrome version.

For example, the extender is ACX and you want to change it to 
ACC, do the following. Insert any disk into the ST and start the 
ST. Open a window by clicking twice on a drive icon (ie. drive 
A). You can find "HARLEKIN.ACX" in the window. Click once on the 
program (it turns black) and go to "SHOW INFO" option at the top 
of the desktop. Select SHOW INFO and when the message window 
appears, press backspace to delete the last "X" character and 
type a single "C". The extender is now ".ACC". Click OKAY. This 
saves the change. Reset the ST. Your Harlekin is now installed.

Hard disk users should first start "INSTAL_C.PRG". This 
automatically copies the Harlekin files from the disk onto your 
hard disk and sets them up. From the hard disk, delete the 
color or monochrome version which you don't need. If you need 
the monochrome version, see above on how to change its 
extender. Also see below for more information on installing 
Harlekin on your hard disk.


******************************************************************
Hard Disk Installation: For Users With Autobooting Hard Disks

The program INSTAL_C.PRG will install HARLEKIN on your hard 
disk. Simply double click on the program icon and follow 
instructions.

In order to start Harlekin, press the reset button at the back 
of your ST computer.

If a reset resident RAM disk (such as MAXI disk) already is 
installed in your auto folder, this should be disabled (by 
renaming its extension to .PRX).

Afterwards you must make a cold start - Turn off your computer 
for at least 30 seconds.

Non-autobooting harddisks.
If your hard disk can't autoboot, you will need to force 
HARLEKIN to load its RSC and DEF-file from your hard disk 
instead of from your disk.
To do this: doubleclick on the program PATCH.PRG and enter the 
letter of your boot partition where HARLEKIN.ACC is located. 
This will normally be drive C.

******************************************************************
Harlekin Text and Other Word Processors

Harlekin texts can be read by nearly all other wordprocessors, 
including Calamus and DTP programs. However, if you simply read 
the files, either double "carriage return" characters will 
appear at the end of each line or double spaces will appear in 
the text (this happens in Calamus).

You must first save the Harlekin text with Harlekin. Then open 
the text again and convert it into Wordplus format. Do this in 
the following way: Press Control + F (Search and Replace). In 
the top line, press "Alternate + 32" (normal Harlekin spaces)(A 
blank space will appear). In the lower line, press      
"Alternate + 30" (Wordplus spaces)(A little character appears). 
Click "All" and click "Replace". All of the Harlekin spaces are 
replaced with Wordplus spaces. The text is now in Wordplus 
format and can be read by Wordplus, Calamus, etc. Save the text 
as "TEXT.DOC".

******************************************************************
Keyboard Layout: For Users in Denmark

If you currently are using a program like "DK.TOS" or 
"DANSK.TOS" to get a Danish keyboard layout, this keyboard 
layout can be adapted into HARLEKIN.DEF. You won't need the 
DANSK.TOS program any more (if you don't mind the Swedish 
messages on the desktop). To do so:

Start the CONFIG.PRG program.
From the menu SETTINGS select the item DEFAULTS.
A dialog box appears.
Klick on the down most square box thereby enabling the keyboard.
Klick on the OK button
From the menu FILE select the item SAVE SETTINGS
The file selector appears - simply press <return> to save the 
file under the name HARLEKIN.DEF.

Note that the changes made to the definition file are first 
active after you restart your computer.

If the DANSK.PRG is autostarted by a program named AUTOGEM.PRG 
this program may be removed from your AUTO-folder.

******************************************************************
RESETMEM.PRG: A Program for Allocation of Reset Resident Memory

Harlekin now supports large screens. Harlekin can be used on 
both normal and large screens. At present the following screens 
been tested: Atari SM194 and Hyperscreen (From the ST Magazin 
project).

However, to be used with a large screen, Harlekin must use a 
small program, RESETMEM.PRG, to allocate the reset memory.

RESETMEM.PRG should be placed as the first program in the AUTO 
folder.
It must be executed before the large screen driver.
To be sure that RESETMEM.PRG is started first from the AUTO 
folder, you can take the following steps:

1) Create a folder named OLDAUTO.
2) Move all files from the AUTO folder to OLDAUTO.
   (Thereby emptying the AUTO folder)
3) Copy RESETMEM.PRG from the AUTO folder of the HARLEKIN 
   distribution diskette to the AUTO folder on the boot disk.
4) Move all files from OLDAUTO to AUTO.
5) Delete the OLDAUTO folder.
   RESETMEM.PRG will be needed only if you are using a large 
   screen.

******************************************************************
"Auto Character Reversal"

Using the Macro key option, you can create a macro which 
automatically reverses the last two characters in the text 
editor.
For example, you want to write "cat" but you wrote "cta". By 
pressing a macro, Harlekin can reverse the "t" and the "a" and 
turn it into "cat".

Open the macro in the configuration program. Using a keypress 
macro, write the following combination of key presses:

Left arrow, Left arrow, Carriage Return, Left arrow, Left arrow, 
Carriage Return, Control + B, Down arrow, Control + E, Down 
arrow, Control + C, Control + D, Backspace, Left arrow, 
Backspace, Right arrow, Right arrow, Delete.

(Press "Return" or "Enter" for a carriage return. A small "cr" 
appears. Press the "left cursor arrow" for "Left arrow", etc.)

Remember to assign a key to the macro and save the macro.

******************************************************************
Page Break: Addition to the Text Processor

Pressing Control + K produces a small "T" in the far left 
border: this is a hard page break.

******************************************************************
QBase Users

If you want to use Harlekin together with CuBase music program, 
then you should first run the PATCH.PRG. A message window 
appears. You should click on "CuBase."

This changes Harlekin so that it can work together with CuBase.

Do not use PATCH.PRG if you aren't using CuBase.

******************************************************************

Scrap Book - Date list.
When looking at the notes for a given day a quick method has 
been added to change the shown date. Hold down the RIGHT mouse 
button when clicking at the sliders up- or down arrows. This 
will move to the previous or to the next day.
