Installation
------------
By installing the software, you have accepted the licensing agreement 
and disclaimer of warranty.

Before installing any third party application, you should backup 
the data on your PalmPilot by hotsyncing with the desktop.

Delete previous versions of SketchPad from your PalmPilot (this 
will delete your sketches too, unfortunately). Install SKPAD101.PRC 
using the PalmPilot Install Tool that came with your PalmPilot. After 
installation, a Sketch Pad icon will appear to the list of 
applications.

List view
---------
SketchPad has the look and feel of the built-in Memo Pad. The
application starts with the List view. The List view displays all
sketches under the current Category. Sketches can be re-ordered
by selecting and dragging to its new position. 

Edit view
---------
Tapping on a sketch in the List view takes you to the Edit view, 
which allows you to edit the sketch and to watch animation. The 'D'
button selects Draw mode. The 'E' button selects the Erase mode. 
Tapping on the blank button allows you to clear the whole sketch.
Copying and pasting of sketches are done via the menu bar.

Animation
---------
Animation is produced by flipping through the sketches quickly.
A sketch is really a frame in an animation sequence. SketchPad allows
you to copy a sketch into its clipboard and the paste it until another
sketch. By coping and pasting, and modifying each subsequent sketch 
slightly, motion is perceived when the sketches are flipped quickly. 
You must have at least 2 different sketches to produce animation.

To watch the sequence, you must be in the Edit view. Using the up
and down buttons on the PalmPilot, you can flip through each sketch. 
When the button is held down, it auto-repeats, thus flipping through 
the sketches quickly. The up and down buttons are real buttons on the 
bottom of the PalmPilot, not software buttons on the display.
