| Comparing</h2> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> The Workbench allows for the comparison of multiple resources |
| and for the presentation of the results in a special compare editor. </P> |
| <P CLASS="Para"><b>Setup</b> </P> |
| <P CLASS="Para">Before commencing with compare a few files must be created. This |
| will also be a good time to recap some of the basic features that have already |
| been introduced.</P> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Start by selecting all of the projects in one of the navigation |
| views and deleting them by using <b>Delete</b> on the pop-up menu.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Create a new simple project using <b>File > New > Project</b>. |
| Be sure to give the project a distinct name by typing unique name as the |
| name of the new project (for example, "JaneQUserCompare"). Do |
| not use spaces or special characters in the project name.</p></li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Use the project's pop-up menu to create a file called file1.txt.</p> |
| <p CLASS="Para">In the editor for file1.txt type the following lines of text |
| and save the file:</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p CLASS="Para"><i>This is line 1.<br> |
| This is line 2.<br> |
| This is line 3.<br> |
| This is line 4.<br> |
| This is line 5.</i></p> |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">In one of the navigation views select file1.txt and use Ctrl+C |
| to copy the file.</p></li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Use Ctrl+V (Paste) to create the copy. In the name conflict |
| dialog which appears, rename the file to file2.txt.</p></li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>(On the Mac, use Command+C and Command+V.)</p> |
| <P>There are now two identical files, file1.txt and file2.txt. </P> |
