About This User Guide
This User Guide provides the information
you need to use SHOW effectively. It will
help you learn the application and serve as
a reference as you attempt more
sophisticated procedures.
This User Guide assumes you are already
familiar with basic Windows or
Macintosh concepts—menus, dialogs,
and mouse operations such as
clicking-and-dragging. If you need more
information on these subjects, or on the
Windows Desktop, or Macintosh Finder,
please refer to the Microsoft Windows
User’s Guide or the Macintosh User’s
Manual, respectively.
Conventions
This user guide is for both Windows and
Macintosh users. By convention,
Macintosh commands precede Windows
commands in the text. For example,
Command/Ctrl+I is equivalent to the
Macintosh Command-I and the Windows
Ctrl+I. For simplicity, the term folder
refers to directories as well as folders. The
SHOW interface for both platforms is
identical, unless otherwise specified.
