AMOS TOME Series IV Manual

You don't lose any functionality if TOME does this, it just means that when using the Tile Maker and MaPLe utilities there will be a very short delay while TOME loads in the icon screens from disk.

Once TOME is running, you should have a screen looking similar to Diag 1. TOME works with a very simple system of Icons, similar to other programs on the Amiga. You have two rows of icons on the screen, the Menu Selector Icons (at the top of the screen) and the Command Icons (at the bottom of the screen).

Clicking on one of the nine Menu Selector Icons will select one of the nine menus of Command Icons, which will appear in the bottom row.


Menu Selector Icons, These choose which Command Menu you want to use		Scroller Controls, you can use these, a joystick or the cursor keys to move around the map.
		The Map Display window, the map you are working on is displayed here.
The Tile Selector Palette, this is where the tiles you will be using to create the map are selected from. Command Menu Icons, these activate the various TOME commands		A Window Dragger, you can drag the windows up and down with this handle. Snooze Corner, clicking here will put TOME to sleep while you multi-task another program.



	The Help ! Button, Activate Help ! and TOME will tell you what you are pointing at !
Diag 1. The TOME Editor

Clicking on one of the 5 Command Icons displayed will activate that command. On some of the Command menus, the Command Icons will be split (Like the icons in the Disk Menu for instance). These Icons have 2 or even 4 separate functions on them. The 2 button icons are split horizontally, so that clicking on the top part will activate one command, while clicking on the bottom part will activate another. Other icons (such as on the one Drawing menu) are split into 4. Clicking on each quarter will activate a different command.
