This tutorial comes from 1992 and was built into demo version (working model) of
NewWave 4.0.
|
Welcome to NewWave, the Premier Desktop
Manager for Windows...
|
|
NewWave offers three key benefits...
| | | The Desktop Organizer helps you organize
your work with folders, file drawer, drag and
drop printing, and a waste basket
|
| | | The Workgroup Library helps you group
share documents and files anywhere on a network
server
|
| | | The NewWave Agent is your personal assistant,
ready to automate routine tasks on your PC
|
| |
...and NewWave works with your existing applications.
|
|
The NewWave Working Model includes a guided tour
and a working version of NewWave.
The Guided Tour is an 8 minute overview of
NewWave... you’re viewing it now. We recommend you
go to through it before proceeding to
NewWave.*
The NewWave Working Model is a working version
of NewWave that includes most of the functionality
of the full product. You can go to NewWave at any
time from the Guided Tour Menu.
* To put the tour in
self-running mode, click the Self-running Demo
button on the next screen.

Desktop Organizer
|
|
On the NewWave Desktop, you have:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | | and the NewWave Agent, your “personal assistant”.
|
| |
|
|
Let’s start getting organized!
|
|
To begin working in NewWave you would use the
Objects Menu.
|
|
Simply select Create a New...
|
|
...and select the type of file or files you wish to
create.
|
|
Let’s do it!
|
|
To create a word processing file, you could select
the MS Write Icon.
|
|
CLICK IT NOW.
|
|
Now we would give it a title – up to 32
characters.
|
|
NewWave lets you use meaningful titles for all
your files... letting you organize information
by project name, customer type – the way it
makes sense to you.
|
|
The new MS Write file is on your NewWave Desktop.
|
|
To open the file, simply double-click it with the
mouse.
|
|
DOUBLE-CLICK IT NOW.
|
|
NewWave automatically launches MS Write and opens
the file all in one step.
|
|
No need to remember where your data file is, or to
use the Windows File Manager or Program Manager.
|
|
To print a file, simply drag the file to the NewWave
printer on the Desktop.
|
|
The NewWave Waste Basket lets you easily throw away
unwanted files.
|
|
Simply drag the file icon to the Waste Basket.
|
|
Wait!
|
|
If you accidentally throw something away you can
still retrieve it!
|
|
You can also quickly empty the Waste Basket.
|
|
NewWave folders let you store all your files in
a logical way – customizing folder names
and colors, and putting folders within folders,
or in the File Drawer.
|
|
You create folders the same way you create files.
|
|
For example, you might create a folder named
Quarterly Sales...
|
|
...and another folder named Annual Sales.
|
|
You could then store this file inside the
Quarterly Sales folder...
|
|
...the Quarterly Sales folder inside the
Annual Sales folder...
|
|
...and put it all into the File Drawer.
|
|
NewWave uses the Objects Menu to create all
documents, graphics, spreadsheets, and folders on
your PC.
|
|
During installation, NewWave found some of your
applications and built icons for each of them
in the “Create a New” Objects Menu. This will
allow you to create files for them.
|
|
|
Workgroup Library
|
|
NewWave makes it easier to share and access
information anywhere on a network. You don’t need
to remember complex networking commands to get
vital information.
|
|
The Workgroup Library works like a real library,
making it easy for you to see what information
is available on each network server.
|
|
NewWave does this through Object Storage –
each network server you’re connected to can
be shown as an icon on the NewWave Desktop.
|
|
With Object Storage, you can easily download
files from a server, or place a file on the network.
|
|
For example, you and your colleagues can access
information by using the “check out” command –
the same way you would check out a book in a real
library.
|
|
To place a file on the network, simply drag its
icon onto the network server.
|
|
It is now available on the server for others to
access.
|
|
With NewWave’s Workgroup Library capabilities,
you can concentrate on using the right
information when you need it – not how to
access it on the network!
|
|
|
NewWave Agent (Work Automation)
|
|
The NewWave Agent is your “personal assistant”,
ready to automate many of the routing tasks
you perform on your PC.
|
|
The Agent is a macro recorder that works with Windows
and DOS applications – it watches what you do
and plays it back when you want the work done.
|
|
And unlike other macro recorders, you can easily
edit what it records.
|
|
We will now show you an example of how the Agent
can be used. This Agent task was previously
recorded to mail letters to customers. You can
create an Agent task similar to this one to do
your own work.
|
|
Let’s see what would happen if we dragged this task
onto the NewWave Agent...
|
|
The Agent would:
|
|
1. Open the MS Cardfile file.
|
|
2. Copy a name and address.
|
|
3. Open MS Write file.
|
|
4. Paste name and print.
|
|
|
|
5. Copy next name and address.
|
|
6. Paste name and print.
|
|
7. Close MS Write file.
|
|
8. Close the MS Cardfile.
|
|
You could also schedule this task to run when
you’re not in the office – for example,
every Friday at 6 p.m.
|
|
To schedule this task, you would start by
double-clicking the Agent icon.
|
|
DOUBLE-CLICK IT NOW.
|
|
Then you would double-click the Agent Schedule.
|
|
DOUBLE-CLICK IT NOW.
|
|
Next you would drag the agent task icon to
Repetitive Schedule...
|
|
...you would type in 6pm...
|
|
...you would select Friday...
|
|
...and you would click OK.
|
|
The Agent would now automatically create and print
your letter every week.
