In addition to the examples selected for tutorials, the subfolder SAMPLES contains some other examples. All example files have the suffix.STR; check the file EXAMPLES.DOC for comments on the examples, including the tutorials.
To start any of the tutorials elect the New command from the File menu. This will step through most of the dialogs in the Input1 menu and also the Input2 menu if desired. Input for each of these dialogs is discussed below. After each of these main dialogs has been completed by clicking on the OK button, the Enter New Data Set dialog comes up. This gives you the choice to Continue, Abort or Revise the last category of input. This dialog will not be mentioned again, but keep in mind that it comes up after each of the main dialogs described below.
In the input for atoms, polyhedra, bonds etc., there are edit boxes for the pen number. Pen numbers will not be discussed, since for multi-pen plotters the color depends on which pens are placed in each position in the holder.
Note that when you are editing individual entries in the Input Atoms, Polyhedra or Bonds dialog, you can continue to edit items in the list with the Revise button; input of these lists is finished when you click on OK. When in the Atom Data, Polyhedron Data or Bond Data dialogs which are called up by the Revise or Add buttons, you can step through the list forwards or backwards with the Next and Last buttons. When you are editing the last item in each list, the Next button becomes the New button. The same things hold true for editing boundary or display forms.
You can get Help for any dialog with the Help button.
