This documents new features in Flipper 5 and
outlines changes to existing features.  It is designed for use
by people who are already familiar with version 4.

Probably the most significant change is the addition of magic
cursor, a powerful, fully automatic cursor finding algorithm.
Function key five from review will toggle between magic cursor
and the custom cursor defined from the define menu.  Magic
cursor keeps track of changes on the screen to find cursors, and
you do not need to find out which colors are being used or anything
else.  Many applications will work as soon as magic cursor is turned
on.

Configurations can be loaded and saved from review mode.
Just hit l or s from the define menu, and you can load or save 
configurations from review, without leaving your application.

Configurations in windows DOS sessions are automatically tracked.
Each time you open a dos program under windows, flipper keeps track of 
the configurations separately for each window, so when you task switch
you end up with the right configuration loaded.

Pass a keystroke to an application from an action.  This function is under
k from the action menu.  This lets you do macros without having a separate
macro program loaded.

Included with this version of Flipper is an S S I L Emulator, a
replacement voice driver for the Arkenstone Open Book (TM) and
other products such as JAWS for windows which use S S I L, with
noticably better performance.  Using Flipper's high performance
S S I L compatable drivers is easy.  Flipper's install program will automatically install the SSIL
emulator if you wish, or simply replace the file
SSIL.DLL with the one from the flipper directory (or from the
floppy).  You can locate your current copy or copies of SSIL by
using the whereis program.  You can autoload a voice
configuration for Open Book by making an automatic flipper
configuration file for the windows kernal called KRNL386.FAC.

This release includes TINYFLIP.COM, a small version of
Flipper which has no review mode or define mode.  If you mostly
use configurations which are already defined, it may save you
some memory.  Just run TINYFLIP instead of FLIPPER in your batch
file.

You can change the directory that Flipper autoloads from, which
is useful if you have more than one person using a computer.  The
command to start autoloading from the directory "d:\steve", 
for example, is:

flip dir d:\steve

A number of new cursor functions have been added for flipper 4.1,
including the ability to separately define the two keypads,
and the ability to create a read cursor.  The Grab function has additional
capabilities.  Several timing bugs have been fixed.  The Dectalk PC 
driver is much improved, and the Accent driver now controls sentence
inflection.

The following are the new actions in flipper 4.10, from
the cursor action menu

p to read the position of the cursor.
This is used to simply read the position of the cursor, with choices
about reading line or column, etc.

d to deactivate a cursor.
This is used to turn off one of the ten user definable cursors, so a
cursor lower on the list will be used instead. 

a to activate a cursor.
This is used to turn a cursor back on.

m to move the reed cursor away from the system cursor.
This lets you move to an arbitrary location on the screen, up one
line, etc.  You can define a "read cursor" like this.

r to route the system cursor to here.
If you have moved the cursor away from the system cursor, and used searches,
for example, you may need to have flipper make the application move
its cursor to the same point.  This is like pressing "C" from review.

g to go to a cursor.
This function will allow you to move to a particular cursor out of
the ten, or just return to whichever is the first cursor flipper can
find.

m to go to a mark.
x to set a mark.
These are the same marks available from review.

c to move to a character or enhancement.
This lets you move forward or backward to a single character or enhancement.

s to search using the search buffer.
This lets you search forward or backward to the pattern in the
search buffer.  The search pattern is entered from review mode.

t to trigger the action for the current cursor.
This can be used, for example, if you want to read whatever the cursor
would have read when an arrow key is hit.  This could be a lightbar,
a menu item, or a field, for example.  This way what is read depends on
which cursor is being used.
