MiddleCaps 2.6
@1998-99 Rui Oliveira
---------------------

MiddleCaps is intended to ease Graffity input by automatically making
letters uppercase or lowercase depending on where the Graffity stroke
is drawn.

MiddleCaps makes your letters lowercase or uppercase simply depending
on where your draw the Graffiti stroke, and regardless of the current
shift state. To write uppercase letters you may either choose to start
the stroke in a defined zone of the Graffiti area, or to make the
stroke to cross a defined vertical boundary.  The mode of operation,
the Graffiti zones and some other useful options can be set in
MiddleCaps preferences panel.

MiddleCaps is HackMaster (http://www.daggerware.com/hackmstr.htm)
extension and it doesn't work without it.

With Hackmaster installed, install MiddleCaps as any other
application. You won't see it in the Launcher application, it will be
listed in HackMaster.

MiddleCaps should be straightforward to configure and use. In the
preferences panel (accessible through the + button in HackMaster) you
can choose between two operation modes: Crossing line or Starting
point. In Crossing line mode Graffiti strokes crossing a configurable
vertical boundary of the Graffity area yield uppercase letters. In
Starting point mode you can define one or two zones of the Graffity
area such that strokes starting inside these zones yield uppercase
letters.

After selecting the mode of operation adjust the vertical boundary or
Graffiti zones at the bottom of the screen with the help of the
arrows. Use the Test field to try your settings.

Options:

Auto-shift: if unchecked the PalmOS autoshift function is disabled.

Alpha keyboard: if unchecked the virtual alpha keyboard which pops
up by tapping at the bottom-left corner of the Graffiti area is
disabled. The numeric keyboard is still available and can be used to
invoke the alpha keyboard.

Show markers: if checked then on every form with an editable field,
markers of the configured vertical boundary or starting point Graffity
zones are displayed at the very bottom of the screen.
