Volume 2 Chapter 11 Text Menu Standard Text Prompts

Graphics QUEST3D Procedure

In the description of commands in the TEXT sub-menu we have used the phrase:

".... and respond to the standard text prompts."

This was done simply to conserve space but we will now illustrate these prompts by two examples.

Examples

Ex.1 Suppose we wish to search for all entries corresponding to the author M.Nardelli.

Select TEXT from the SEARCH menu.

The SEARCH menu is replaced by the TEXT sub-menu - see below.

Please select a TEXT item (Select TO-SEARCH to return to SEARCH menu.)

Select *AUTHOR

Enter TEXT for test 1 ==>
(enclose in apostrophes (`) if trailing blanks are required)
(Press <RETURN> to CANCEL this test)

Type M.Nardelli <R>
The text string `M.Nardelli' appears in red against the keyword AUTHOR.

Note that when you are prompted to enter TEXT for test n, the value of n will be the lowest unused test number..

Ex.2 Suppose we wish to search for all entries corresponding to space group Pc.

Select *SPACEGROUP

Enter TEXT for test 2 ==>
(enclose in apostrophes (`) if trailing blanks are required)
(Press <RETURN> to CANCEL this test)

Type `Pc ^' <R> where ^ is a blank
The text string `PC ` appears in red against the keyword SPACEGROUP
Note that in the VAX/VMS implementation the case of the text string will be preserved.
```
Please select a TEXT item (Select TO-SEARCH to return to SEARCH menu.)
```

Note that in this example we must use trailing blanks, otherwise hits would be registered not only for the space group Pc but also for Pcab, Pcnb, Pcm21, etc.
