I will not go into much detail on using the linux command line, as that is covered in many other places (http://www.tldp.org is a good place to start, or read O'Reilly's <citation>Running Linux</citation> for a comprehensive look at Linux for the beginner).

Each "command" in the shell is actually a separate program (unless you are using a shell like BusyBox, which makes some of the more common commands part of its own program in order to save space). Shells can actually be very powerful, and many of them allow you to write something called "shell scripts" which are just a sequence of commands, sometimes with some flow control statements, saved to a file and run each time the script is run. For the most part, the average user -does not need to know about any of this, though. If you are running Opie on the +does not need to know about any of this, though. If you are running &opie; on the Familiar distribution, it is advisable to install the bash shell (ipkg install bash) because it offers things like tab completion, use of the backspace key, and a command history, as well as offering a more advanced scripting languauge than most other shells. </para> </section> <section><title>Running Programs</title> <para> To run a program or a command (remember, a command is just another program), you simply type the name of the program and hit "Return" (in Linux, program names do not have a special suffix like they do in windows, in fact the "." character has no special meaning unless it is at the begining of a filename, in which case it makes the file "hidden"). When you type a program name and hit "Return" the shell looks in a special list of directories called your "path", and if it cannot find it in any of those directories, it stops looking and tells you it could not find them. If you want to run a program that is not in your path, you must specify an absolute or relative path to that program. For instance, to run a program that is in the directory you are currently in, you would type <literal>./program</literal> ("./" is a special directory that is explained below), or to run a program in /home/username/ you would call <literal>/home/username/program</literal>. </para> <para> Most programs take "arguments" when run from the command line. An argument is a string that contains no spaces that changes how the program behaves (a text editor, for instance, might take a single argument, which would be the name of the file you wish to edit). Usually, you can use the arguments "-h" or "--help" to get a list of the common arguments that that program takes, along with a short usage description, and a short description of what each argument does. </para> diff --git a/docs/usermanual/gettingaround.sgm b/docs/usermanual/gettingaround.sgm index 88103bb..90aa3cf 100644 --- a/docs/usermanual/gettingaround.sgm +++ b/docs/usermanual/gettingaround.sgm @@ -1,96 +1,96 @@ -<chapter><title>Using Opie</title> +<chapter><title>Using &opie;</title> <para> -Now that Opie is installed and running, it's time to start using it.

The main difference between using the stylus and using a mouse is that you cannot right click with a stylus, so things that require a right click are kept to a minimum. However, it is sometimes necessary to right click, and this is implemented with a "press and hold". Any time you want to do something that you think would require a right click on a normal pc, try pressing the stylus down and holding it still for a few seconds. This usually opens up a context sensative menu, much like a right click usually does on a desktop interface. </para> </section> <section><title>Launcher</title> <para> The Launcher behaves like the "desktop" on most PC GUIs.

You can click on the tab for the category you want to view, and then click on the icon for the application that you wish to launch. By default, there will be an Applications tab and a Settings tab (if you install any games, they will appear in the Games tab). When new applications are installed, they will usually appear in one of these three tabs, or in a tab of their own. To add or delete tabs or to move applications between the tabs, you can use the Tab Manager application, or you can edit them by hand, by changing the directories in /opt/QtPalmtop/apps. </para> <para> There is also a tab to the far right called the "Documents" tab, which allows you to quickly open your most often used documents.

The Taskbar is what lets you select which input method you would like to use, shows what applications are running, and is also where the "applets" draw their icons. On the left of the Taskbar is an "O" button that opens a menu which has an entry for every tab in the Launcher, allowing you to star an applications without going back to the Launcher, or quiting the application that you are running. On the right hand side of the Taskbar, you will probably see a clock (unless you installed task-opie-minimal), which is actually just another applet that draws the time instead of an icon. </para> <para> When an application is run, it adds its icon to the Taskbar, starting from the right side of the input method icon, with new application's icons appearing to the right. If you click on the icon for an application, it will be brought to the screen, allowing you to interact with it. </para> <para> To the right of the "O" menu you will see an icon for the currently selected input method. Clicking this will bring up the input method, allowing you to type into the currently running application. To the right of the input method icon is a small arrow pointing up, which will open a menu of all the currently installed input methods when clicked. When you select one of these, it will become the current input method, with its icon replacing the previous one. </para> </section> <section><title>Dialogs</title> <para> -In Opie, dialogs, as well as some applications, have a button labeled "Ok" on +In &opie;, dialogs, as well as some applications, have a button labeled "Ok" on the right side of the window title bar, in addition to the normal "x".
