JavaScore Help

Welcome to the JavaScore, a regatta scoring program for sailboat regattas.

How to use help

The JavaScore uses the JavaHelp system to provide access to help. To the left of this document, you will see a panel with three tabs. The first tab is the Table of Contents. It is loosely organized by the various tools within the JavaScore. Click on a topic to see the help for that topic. The second tab is the Index. It will eventually contain a list of indexed keywords that can be quickly searched for a topic of interest. The third tab provides the ability to search the JavaScore documentation for any text and see all matches to that search.

Context-sensitive help

The JavaScore includes support for context-sensitive help. Either click on the help icon on the toolbar or select "What's This?" from the Help menu. This will enable the context-sensitive help cursor. Then, click once on the area for which you'd like help. Not all areas of the JavaScore have context-sensitive help available, so certain items will take you to more specific help than others. Also, some items will take you outside the JavaScore documentation to a technical document on the web that is related to the selected item. If you are not connected to the internet, these references will fail.

Note: pressing the F1 key, or the Help key on systems with a Help key, will display help for the currently selected window. 

The help that has been written is still a bit rough.  If you find "holes" in the help information or have questions that are not answered, please contact Sandy at sandy@gromurph.org.  I'd also welcome help writing and improving the help that is available
