The information button

The behaviour of this button is specified in the Activity options screen (CTRL+O) and can have various functions:

- Open a Windows help document, as in some Clic "demo" activities (e.g. PUZ05.PUZ). In this case you have to write the name of the HLP document in the File field and, optionally, the title of the page to be activated in the Topic/Arguments field.
The creation of Windows help documents is a bit complicated, but if you are interested, you can find some tools and documentation in the Resources section of The Clic corner.

- Open any document that can be activated by Windows. For example, a BMP image (which will be opened by the Paint utility), a Write (WRI) or a Word file (DOC), a web page (HTM), etc. The file must always have the corresponding format to its extension and be located in the working directory of the activity being edited.
This technique is used in Antoni Prim i Magda Argemí's Dites dels mesos de l'any activity pack, which you can download from the Click Corner, to open Paint with some black and white that the students can colour in and print.

- Start up any executable programme by writing its name in the File field. The programme can be located in the working directory or, if it is a Windows utility, in the C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folders. The Topic/Arguments field can be used to give additional instructions to the programme.
