Managing Files 

Each time you start an HP Browse session, you must specify the name of
the file you intend to examine.  Once you are in HP Browse you can
examine another file by using the Open File function.  (You can also open
a second window.  See the section on opening a second window for how to
do this.)

Opening a File 

To open a file:

   1.  Press the  File/Print function key.

   2.  Press the  Open File function key.

   3.  Type the name of the file you want to browse.  (To open a spool
       file, just type the name of the spool file, for instance,
       "O25.OUT.HPSPOOL".)

   4.  Press Return.

HP Browse displays the file.  If you have two windows open, HP Browse
displays the file in the current window.

Printing a File 

To print all or part of a file:

   1.  Press the  File/Print function key.

   2.  Press the  Print Text function key.  HP Browse displays the
       current print options.

   3.  Examine the current print options.  You can change any of the
       print options by pressing the function key corresponding to the
       option you want to change.

   4.  To print the file, press the  Print Text function key, or Return.
       (If you do not want to print the file, skip this step.)

   5.  To return to browsing your file, press the  Exit Print function
       key, or Control Y.

HP Browse prints the file using the current print options.  See Chapter
3, "File and Print Functions" for more information on the print options.
