Scrolling Text Applet Help File.
Copyright: Sirius Computer Consultants 1999. All rights reserved.
Author : Patrick O'Brien 3/6/99
Version: 1.1
General Description.
With this little Applet you will be able to display many pages of information in just one area of your webpage. In addition this Applet will give your web page a dynamic animated feel. The applet will automatically size itself to the available area given to it by the HTML form. (The WIDTH and HEIGHT of the APPLET tag.)

The following is the complete listing of the possible parameters that may be used to configure this applet. If any of the parameters are not present within the APPLET tag in your HTML form then the Applet will assume the default value, as indicated in the right hand column.

It is recommended that you look at the example HTML files provided in conjunction with the following table in order to understand fully how to use each parameter.

The TEXTLINE Parameter.
Each line of text should be entered using a TEXTLINEn parameter, where n is the line number. So the first line will be entered with a parameter of TEXTLINE1, the second with TEXTLINE2 and so on up to a maximum line number which has been set by the MAXLINES parameter. (see above) This table should be viewed in conjunction with the example files in order to obtain a clearer understanding.

Font1This specifies the font with which to display this line of text.
