Text = 
The Programmer's Calculator is used like an ordinary calculator. \
A number may be entered into the calculator by pointing to the \
number keys of the calculator with the mouse and pressing the left-hand \
button on the mouse or by pressing the appropriate number key on the \
keyboard.  To complete the entry of a number, point to an operator key \
or the "=" key and press the mouse button or press the corresponding \
key on the keyboard.

Title = "Operator Types"
Text =
The arithmetic operators (+,-,*,/,MOD) perform normal arithmetic \
operations in the selected base between the result of the last \
operation and the next number entered.  If the result of the operation \
is too large for the word size selected, an overflow indicator will \
be displayed and the high-order bytes of the result will be truncated. \
The "%" key or the "Modulo" function key may be used for the "MOD" operator. 

Logical (And, Or, Nor) operators are bitwise operators that mask \
the result of the previous operation with the next number entered. \
The operations may be selected by pointing to the appropriate calculator \
key with the mouse, using the labeled function key or by entering one of \
the following keys from the keyboard: 

	And : use the & key
	Or  : use the | key
	Xor : use the ^ key

The shift operators will shift the result of the previous operation \
left or right the number of bits specified by the next number entered. \
If the calculator is set to use signed numbers and the operation is a \
right shift, the sign bit will be extended.  The shift operations may \
also be done using the ">" and "<" keys.

The negate operator does a bitwise negation of the number displayed. \
It is a unary operation and does not require a second number to be \
entered.  The "~" key on the keyboard or the "Negate" function key \
may also be used to perform the negate operation.

Text =
One of three different number bases may be used in the calculations, \
one of three different word sizes may be used and the numbers may be \
signed or unsigned.  These options may be selected by pointing to the \
appropriate option indicator on the calculator with the mouse and \
pressing the left-hand button.  Or they may be selected by pressing the \
middle button on the mouse and selecting the desired options from the Option \
window.

Title = "Number Bases"
Text =
The calculator will work in base 8 (Octal), 10 (Decimal) or 16 \
(Hexidecimal).  To choose a base, point to the number base indicator \
next to the result register (Oct, Dec or Hex) and press the left-hand \
button.  Each time the mouse button is pressed, the base will change \
and the result will be redisplayed in the new base.

The base may also be selected to pressing the "Input Mode" key on the \
keyboard.  Each time the key is pressed, the base will change.

The base may also be selected by a third method: Press the middle button \
on the mouse or press the "Cmd" key on the keyboard.  The calculator \
options window will be displayed.  Select the "Number Base" option and \
then select the desired base.

The keys that are valid for the entry of numbers will change depending \
upon the selected base.  For example, the alphabetic keys (A-F) cannot \
be used when the base selected is Octal or Decimal.

Text =
The calculator will work with 1, 2 or 4-byte numbers.  To choose a word \
size, point to the word length indicator (Char, Shrt or Long) and press \
the left-hand mouse button.  Each time the button is pressed, the word \
length will change.  The number displayed in the register will not be \
affected by changing the word length until the next operation is performed. \
The range of numbers that may be entered is determined by the word \
length.

Text =
The calculator will work with signed and unsigned numbers when the number \
base is Decimal.  Signed numbers are not valid in the other bases and \
the signed option is ignored.  To toggle between signed and unsigned \
numbers, point to the sign indicator (Signed or Unsgnd) and press the \
left-hand mouse button.  Each time the button is pressed, the sign will \
toggle.  The number displayed in the register will not be affected by \
toggling the sign mode until the next operation is performed.

If a number is entered incorrectly, clear the last digit entered by \
pressing the "Dlete Char" key or clear the entire number by pressing \
the "Clear Line" key.  To clear the calculator to start a new calculation, \
press the "Clear All" function key.
