2002-07-03 3.10.00 This documentation describes &tde;'s information center. KDE kinfocenter system information module The &infocenter; (from now on referred to simply as the information center) provides you with a centralized and convenient overview of your &tde; and system settings. The information center is made up of multiple modules. Each module is a separate application, but the information center organizes all of these programs into a convenient location. This next section details the use of the information center itself. For information on individual modules, please see Info Center Modules The &infocenter; can be started 3 ways: By selecting K ButtonSystemInfo Center from the &tde; Panel. By pressing &Alt;F2. This will bring up a dialog box. Type kinfocenter, and click Run or press Enter. You can type kinfocenter & at any command prompt. All three of these methods are equivalent, and produce the same result. When you start the information center, you are presented with a window, which can be divided into 3 functional parts. Across the top is a menubar. The menubar will provide you with quick access to most of &infocenter;'s features. The menus are detailed in The &tde; Info Center Menus. Along the left hand side, is a column. This is a where you choose which module to investigate. You can learn how to navigate through the modules in the section called Navigating Modules. The main panel shows you some system information. This next section gives you a brief description of what each menu item does. The File menu has a single entry. &Ctrl;Q File Quit Closes the info center. &help.menu.documentation; You can exit the info center one of three ways: Select File Quit from the menu bar. Type &Ctrl;Q on the keyboard. Click on the Close button on the frame surrounding the info center.
