Section 4: Palmtop Impact Software
4.1. Menus
The menus listed in the menu bar at the bottom of the Palmtop window (see Figure 6) allow you to select
which configuration will be used, which augmentative options are enabled, how and when to speak
messages, and how a wide variety of other options perform. Some of these features are accessed directly
through the menus, while others are accessed through popup dialog boxes called up by menu items.
Many of the menu items can also be accessed through a series of Options pages that are integrated into the
configurations themselves. The Options pages consist of grids of buttons - just like a normal Palmtop page.
This means that you can access the individual options using the touchscreen or through scanning. See
section 7.31 for additional details on Options pages.
4.1.1. File Menu
The File menu allows you to load standard and user-modified configurations into your Palmtop device. It also
lets you store and load text files, create new configurations, and recall recently loaded files and
configurations.
The easiest way to load a configuration is to use either the Standard Configs or the User Configs menu
option:
• Selecting File > Standard Configs opens a list of the standard configurations on the device. The
standard configurations are a great place to start when designing your own configurations. (After you
have personalized a standard configuration with your custom phrase or symbol pages, it can be
loaded from the
User Configs menu option.)
• Selecting File > User Configs opens a list of all the user-generated configurations that are stored on
the device. As you create new configurations, they will automatically show up in this menu.
Whenever you change one of your customized configurations, a backup will be automatically stored
in a safe location. To recover a configuration, use the
Load Config option (described below). The
Palmtop software also stores a special copy of your most recently saved configuration in a file called
"Safe_<time>_backup" (where <time> is the month, day, hour, and minute when the configuration
was saved), which is only accessible using the Load Config menu item.
The name of the configuration that is currently loaded will appear with a check next to it in the list. To load a
configuration, select its name in the list.
The Text Files menu item provides the New Text , Open Text , Save Text , and Save Text As options for
creating, loading, and saving text files. You can create text files using your Palmtop device by typing text into
the Editor Window. The contents of the Editor Window can be stored to a file using
Save Text and Save Text
As . If you select Save and have not previously saved the contents of the Editor Window, you will be
prompted to enter a filename where the text will be stored. Type in the filename and select OK to save to the
file. (If you do not specify a three-letter file extension the software will add ".txt" to the end of the filename
you enter.)
Loading text files for speaking or editing is accomplished using the Open menu item. All of the text files
available for loading will be shown in a file selection dialog - highlight the text file that you want to load and
select
OK .
