  Figure 4-4.  Subject Cross Reference Text Selection

The Subject Cross Reference Text Selection panel is displayed
after phrases are selected on the Phrase Selection panel.
This panel lists the sections containing the phrases of
interest so you can browse (B) or print (P) them.  Sections
can be bookmarked (M) from this panel also.

Tip: If you want to limit the sections listed to one guide,
enter its short name (like PIOM) in the Volume field and
press Enter.

To return to the phrase list, use the END command or key. The
Phrase Selection panel will indicate the phrases you have
already looked up by marking them with a highlighted
asterisk.  You can then select other phrases for text lookup,
or end the current search and return to the display from
which you began Subject Cross Reference.

THE VOLUME FIELD - Volume ===>

The Volume field is used to enter a document short name, like
the name entered on the Document Browse Guide Selection
Panel.  This limits the display to a specific guide.  To
remove the volume selection effect, blank out the Volume
field and press enter.

THE SECTION FIELD - Section ===>

The Section field is used to enter a document section number,
just as in Document Browse.  When you specify a section
number, only the sections under that number will appear in a
table of contents on the lower part of the panel.  The number
of subsection levels in the display list depends on the value
of the Levels field described below, which is normally set to
A for this type of display.

Note: From the Subject Cross Reference Text Selection panel,
the S line command is NOT equivalent to an entry in the
Section field.  This command is used for browsing text
selections in context, as discussed under the line command
descriptions.


THE LEVELS FIELD - Levels (n or A) ===>

The Levels field allows you to specify whether all sections
beginning with the section key should display, or just the
next 1 to n levels of sections under the key should display,
where n can be any number from 1 to 8.  This field is
normally set to Levels = A for subject text selection.

Note:  The contents of these fields can be changed directly,
or you can use the S and R commands to manipulate them
automatically.  For example, the R command will reset all of
these fields.


LINE COMMANDS

Line commands are entered to the left of one or more rows of
the section list.  The valid commands are:

   B  (Browse)

       Browse the text section named on the line.

   D  (Delete)

       Delete the section entry indicated by the line
       command; this eliminates sections that are of no
       interest.

   M  (BookMark)

       Add the text section named on the line into the
       current Bookmark List.

   P  (Print)

       Print the text section named on the line.  This type
       of output is an immediate print of the section to
       SYSOUT=A.

   S  (Select)

       Invoke the standard Document Browse dialog as if the
       volume and section selected had been entered in the
       equivalent Document Browse fields.  This command
       allows you to see the section you have selected, in
       the context of the full table of contents that it came
       from.

Multiple sections can be browsed, printed, or marked by
entering the appropriate line command on multiple rows of
the display.  Only one line should be selected for entering
Document Browse in context.


PRIMARY COMMANDS - Command ===>

The Command field is used to enter primary commands that
control the text selection listing or the selection of
document sections to browse, print, or mark.

   B  (Browse)

       Browse all the text sections listed on the display.
       This includes all sections that can be scrolled into
       the display window, not just the lines that fit on the
       screen.

   L  (Locate)

       Scroll to the guide named.  Since the list is not
       in alphabetical order, only the exact name is
       searched for.

       Example:  Locate the first entry for a guide

           L MOD (scroll to the MOD guide entries)

   M  (bookMark)

       Switch the display to the contents of the current
       Bookmark List.

   P  (Print)

       Print all the text sections listed on the display.
       This includes all sections that can be scrolled into
       the display window, not just the lines that fit on the
       screen.

   R  (Reset)

       Reset the display by clearing the Volume and Section
       fields, and setting Levels back to A.

   S  (Select)

       Select a Volume and optionally a Section value for the
       entry fields.  Equivalent to typing these entries into
       the fields directly.

       Example:   Limit the display to the PIOM Guide chapter
       2 (if any such entries are present)

           S PIOM 2 (display sections in this category only)

Note:  You can browse or print the text from your most recent
text browse or print by using the keyword LAST after the B or
P primary command.
