BorkPad Help

## Welcome to BorkPad

BorkPad is simple notepad utility that lets you keep little scraps of text. It is a faithful clone of the classic Mac OS 9 NotePad desk accessory, purposely made simple to use and fast to launch. It intentionally does not include many program features, like toolbars, styled text, multimedia, or dancing wombats. If you wish a more complex note pad, check out Version Tracker. There are many fine applications out there.

### Using BorkPad

Just start BorkPad and enter some text. You can move from note to note by clicking on the dog-ear corner at the bottom of the pad, or by choosing "Go To Note" from the File menu. You can also add new note pages, delete existing pages, or search for something interesting.

This is the primary BorkPad window. The text area and dog page controls are indicated. You can click on the page number to bring up a sheet to go to a particular note. There is no limit to the amount of text you can put into a single note.

When you click on the page number, or choose "Go To Note" from the File menu, this sheet will be presented. Enter the note number you wish to go to. There is no limit to the number of notes that you can have.

When you choose "Find" from the Edit menu, this sheet opens. Enter the text you wish to find. The search can be restricted to just the current note, or you can look through your whole pile of notes starting from the current one. When you choose "Find Again" from the Edit menu, the same search settings ae used (the text to find, as well as whether it should look in all the notes.)

You can choose what font and size your BorkPad displays the text with. Choose a font or a size and your BorkPad will immediately change to reflect your choices. If you decide not to use that font or size, click Cancel, or just close the window, and your original font and size will be restored.

Your notes are automatically saved when you change pages, when you quit BorkPad, close the BorkPad window, or when you explicitly save your notes.
