How to use Subliminal Extacy... and more :)
Er.. It's quite easy really :) You can use A-mouse, Kempston
mouse and keys. If Kempston mouse is detected even though you
don't have it (hardware conflict) keep CAPS pressed on loading.
Keys are always active so if something goes terribly wrong with
the mouse detection you can use 'Q','A','O' and 'P' to control
the cursor. Space bar is left 'mouse' button and 'M', Enter and
Edit are the right 'mouse' button. Got that? Good. Now you're
probably wondering what the buttons do right? Fear not, I
shall put your troubled mind to rest: Left button is used to
select something (the cursor will change to a hand when you
go over a selectable item) and to go up and down a page (the
cursor will change to an arrow when you go over the top or
bottom of a page). Right mouse button is used to return to the
previous screen. Oh, and if you double-click left mouse button
anywhere there isn't a selectable item (the cursor will change
to a musical note) you'll go to the music selector - use right
mouse button to get back. Easy eh? Thought as much :)
Now I'll take this opportunity to write a few words about SE #3,
since I didn't have time to write any articles. I hope you like
the new SE engine... It went through some changes till it
reached its current state and I just wish I had the time to
optimize it further and add some more bits n pieces. Like proper
mouse acceleration and a setup menu, skin selector, etc. Yes, I
did say skin, the topic icons and top and bottom gfx are
skinable - unfortunately we only got 1 skin this issue (thanks
Kristoph :). Still, let's not be fussy ;) SE is back and
we're here to stay! All the things we didn't have time to do
for this issue will be in SE #4 for sure. So now i propose a
little challenge - Who will make the best skin for SE #4? Send
your contributions to se@raww.org. The best skin will be the
default one, but the others will be selectable too of course.
Now some greetings and thanks to:
LaesQ/RA for his neverending support and friendship. We finally
made it :) Now it's time to get down to real business...

suxx... Right as always ;)

scroll routine. You're dirty! ;)
