The Irie Pascal User's Manual, which is the manual you are currently reading, provides help on using Irie Pascal. This manual can be accessed by choosing User's Manual from the Help menu.
The Irie Pascal Programmer's Reference Manual (in "progref.html") provides help on the Irie Pascal programming language. This manual can be accessed by choosing Programmer's Reference Manual from the Help menu.
Word search is a convenient way to search the Irie Pascal Programmer's Reference Manual (in "progref.html") for help on words that have special meaning to Irie Pascal. These words include keywords, built-in constants, types, variables, functions, and procedures. When a word search is performed, the Irie Pascal Programmer's Reference Manual (in "progref.html") is searched for the current word in the active edit window (i.e. the word under the caret). A word search can be performed in a number of ways. One way to perform a word search is to choose Search For Word from the Help menu. Another way to perform a word search is to press the F1 key. Yet another way to perform a word seach is to double-click on a word in an editor window. If the double-click word search project option is selected (which is one of the Envionment project options) then a word search will be performed.
The dialog boxes used by Irie Pascal provide help in two ways.
When you leave the mouse pointer over a button in the toolbar for more than a second or so, a brief description (called a tool tip) of what the button does will appear. When you move the mouse pointer away the tool tip will disappear.
When you leave the mouse pointer over a menu item or over a button in the tool bar the status line will display a short description of what the menu item or button does. When you move the mouse pointer away the description is removed from the status line.
