VP: LEARN Mode
From Sonikmatter
- The LEARN mode provides a way of "teaching" VP about the location of the fields on the various screens found in the Kurzweil user interface. All of the fields on a Kurzweil screen become hotspots when viewed through VP. All of the hotspots on a screen must be learned for cursoring to happen properly when clicking on a hotspot.
- The Learn checkbox enables the learn mode. When enabled, the user can "cursor around" on the screen using the VP Up, Down, Left & Right buttons. (Don't use the buttons on the Kurzweil itself.) When a Field is learned it becomes a different color indicating that it is hot. Once all of the fields on a screen are "hot" then the user can simply click on it and VP will automatically cursor the Kurzweil screen to the proper field (i.e., point & click is now available for that screen).
- Be warned, LEARN mode is very slow! Don't leave LEARN mode enabled when it is not needed else you will become very discouraged.
- This "learned" information is saved in the VP metafile and reused in future editing sessions, so it only has to be learned once. (Note that I attempt to ship the most complete metafile that I can when releasing new versions. You only need to do this when you find a screen that I haven't yet gotten too myself. -Warp)
- Command REMFRAME - This command forces VP to "forget" the hotspots for a screen. Use this if something gets messed up and you believe that re-teaching VP for a particular page might help.
