KEYWORD V1.00
─────────────
USING KEYWORD COULDN'T BE SIMPLER
─────────────────────────────────
When you run Keyword it will prompt you for a key word. This will be
the root word from which you your search starts. So all you do is
enter a word similar to the one you're looking for (or even just
vaguely connected to the general subject).
For example, if you have used the word CREATE a couple of times in
a paragraph and now you need a different one, just enter:
CREATION
and press return twice.
You will then be offered the choice of selecting one of the
following categories:
NON-IMITATION
PRODUCTION
WORLD
ANIMATE-MATTER
IMAGINATION
CAUSE
PRODUCER
ARTIST
DIVINITY
Move the cursor, using the cursor keys, until PRODUCTION is highlighted
and press Return again.
At this point you will be shown a list of words, among which you'll
see the likely contenders:
CONSTRUCT
PROLIFIC
and so on.
If any of these words is close to the one you're looking for but not
absolutely suitable, just select it with the cursor keys and press
Return to see a new list of words more closely related to it.
FREE ROAMING
────────────
Using the cursor keys and Return you can 'roam' indefinately through
Keyword, following avenues of thought, tracing words back to their
roots or finding words of opposite meaning.
And if at any point you wish to enter a new key word just type it in
and press Return for the whole process to begin again.
SCANNING
────────
A useful feature of Keyword is the ability to scan through the entire
dictionary. To do this, type a letter when a word is highlighted. Then
press backspace to remove the letter and press Return.
The dictionary will then be displayed page by page. If you see a word
you are interested in press:
n
at the 'More?' prompt, and select it in the usual way using the cursor
keys and Return.
Alternatively you can scan through smaller areas of the dictionary by
entering one or more letters. For example, typing:
th
followed by Return instructs Keyword to display all words beginning
with th.
