\section{How do I \dots ?}

\label{howdoitop}

\subsection{How do I process files (copy, rename, move)?}

\begin{enumerate}
\item with the options of the file manager of \texttt{References} 
  \mopt{main-f f} or edit \mopt{edit-main-f f} (cf. section
  \ref{SecMainFunctionsFileManager}).
\item with the explorer on win32 systems (cf. section
  \ref{howdoiExplorerWindows})
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{How do I call the `explorer' from \texttt{References} on win32-systems?}  

\label{howdoiExplorerWindows}

From \texttt{References} call \mopt{main-f s} and enter 
``\verb+start .+''. From the text editor shell, select \mopt{edit-main-f s}
and enter ``\verb+start .+''.

\subsection{How do I copy reference numbers and other short text fragments
from the \texttt{References} screen to the text processor (and \emph{vice
versa})}

\label{howdoiClipboard}

\subsubsection{Win32-systems}

Copy the text from the \texttt{References} into the clipboard (alt-space,
process, mark)\footnote{The English names of the menu options
are guessed from the designations
of the author's German Win32 system.
In your local Win32 distribution, the commands in the 
menu of the Window will differ, so please refer to the documentation. In 
Windows~XP, the ``mark'' command is also available through the right mouse 
button}.
You may also insert text from the Win32 clipboard (alt-space, process, insert)
at the \texttt{References} prompt.

\subsubsection{Linux-systems}

Linux users will run \texttt{References} in a console window in the KDE or
Gnome desktop environment.%

The console programs allow comfortable interaction with the clipboard using
the mouse for labelling text in the console and for inserting text in the
console at the \texttt{References} prompt.


\subsection{How do I modify lists of references?}

\subsubsection{How do I remove the empty lines from a list of references?}

\textbf{OpenOffice.org/StarOffice writer:} Use ``search and replace'': search 
``\verb+^$+'' 
and replace by an empty string, activate the ``regular expression''
box. 

\subsubsection{How do I remove \texttt{$<$reference-number$>$} 
from a list of references?}


Sometimes you will generate a list of references with leading reference
numbers in angular brackets (\verb+<...>+). The following recipe shows how you
can remove them:
\textbf{OpenOffice.org/StarOffice writer:} Use ``search and replace'': search 
``\verb*+^<.*> +'' and replace by an empty string, activate the 
``regular expression''
box.
