Searching and opening Tutorials



Once you start the program, the tutorials are listed by keywords. Then you select one of the keywords, all available tutorials are listed in the right table. The tutorial itself is opened by double clicking on it in the table.



Using the drop-down menu "sorted by ..." you can change the list of keywords. If we choose for example Haiku are listed only instructions that deal with haiku and its programs.

It is not always advisable to list only tutorials written in a particular language. Often instructions that are written in other languages (by the pricutes) help to solve problems.
