9. The Menus

At the top of the RSTTool Inteface is a menu-bar with three menus:

• File: Offering possibilities for loading, and saving codings or text:
  • Load RST : loads in an already-created RST Analysis.
  • Save RST : saves the current RST analysis to a file.
  • Save RST As: saves the current RST analysis to a new location.
  • Import Text : loads in plain text, ready for segmentation and analysis.
  • Save Text As: saves the text of the analysis as plain text, without segmentation or analysis.

• Options: Allowing you to configure the tool:
  • File Save Options : allows you to nominate whether the relation set currently in use is stored in the analyis file, or in a separate "master relation file".
  • Appearance Options: allows you to change the color scheme used in drawing analyses, the default background color of dialogs, the font for text, and the width of columns in the diagram.
    [NEW] The changing of fonts is new. If you want to restore the font to the standard font which RSTTool starts up in, select the top item from the Font list: "RSTTool default".

• Help: Access to Information about RSTTool.
  • RSTTool Help : (Win95/98/NT only) brings up the WinHelp file for RSTTool (Macintosh and unix/linux users can open the manual in Netscape).
  • About: provides details of the current version.
  • Release Notes: shows the Release Notes for the current version.
