RUNNING PUSHPULL
Double click on the PushPull icon to start PushPull. The main GUI is displayed below. Most of the window is taken up by the list of URLs to be monitored. When you start up PushPull the first time you will get a short list of Amiga related websites. These can be deleted if you chose.

White items in the listview are category labels not URLs. Splitting the list of URLs up into labels makes it easier to monitor large numbers of URLs. The default URLs are under two labels: AMIGA and MISC.

From this window you can: view any downloaded web pages; edit the settings for each URL; Delete or Add URLs; rearrange URLs and alter the configuration of PushPull and Puller.

At the bottom of the window is the QUICKHELP gadget. Place the pointer over any of the gadgets in the window and QUICKHELP will give you a quick summary of that gadget's function.

Along the top are the buttons:

DESCRIPTION
ADD A Add a URL to the database. Will automatically bring up the url editing window.
DELETE D, DEL Deletes the currently selected URL. Brings up a requester sine there's no undo!
CLOSE ESCAPE Saves the current settings (including the URLS and window size & position) and exits PushPull.
Down the right hand side are the buttons:
VIEW V, DOUBLECLICK Uses an Arexx script to open your browser and display the most recent version of the currently selected URL. Obviously this doesn't work if you only use ONLINE mode. Can be configured to work with IBROWSE, VOYAGER and AWEB. A double click on the URL will have the same effect.
EDIT E, ENTER Edit the current URL. Brings up the Editing window. See below.
CONFIGURE C Allows you to configure various things about PushPull and Puller. See below.
START S Runs the Puller. You can do this when offline, but there isn't much point.
UPDATED U Clicking on this will send the list of most recently updated files to your browser for viewing.
