Setup
 

Setting up Quest is just as easy as using Quest. When you first run Quest, you will be prompted for a temporary directory. After that, setup is complete and you'll be writing documents in minutes.

However, here are the other things that you can configure. To adjust these values, simply log into Quest, click on 'File', 'Properties', and then 'Application'.

 

Toolbars
You can tell the toolbars to be text only, show images, show both, show hints or not and more. You can also tell Quest where to put the text. On top of the image, on the left, right or bottom.

 

Language
You can set what language Quest displays text in. Currently the only supported language is english. However you can create your own language. To create your own language, simply create a copy of the file called 'english.lng'. The file is in your Quest directory. Translate the english.lng file into whatever language you'd like. Then tell me and I'll put the entry in the database for everyone to access your language. This can be done at anytime and does not require an application update.

 

Look and Feel
The Look and Feel determines how the buttons, lists etc.. are drawn in Quest. You can choose between Windows, Mac, Java Metal or Solaris. The Look and Feel also determines how hot keys are used, tab order etc..

 

Country
The Country selection lets Quest know what you want your Default Country to be. This sets how dates are displayed as well as currency.

 

Quest Applets
You can add and remove Quest Applets from Quest. This means that I could write an Applet for you specifically and you can add it to your Quest application, instead of having to drop a new piece of code.

 

Fonts
Don't like 8 point Helv? You can change that. You can set what fonts are displayed on Buttons, Lists, Static Text etc..

 

Internet
Ok, so your behind a Firewall. Not to worry, You can now adjust Quest to use a Socks server to get outside of your firewall.

 

External Word Processor
Oh, the best functionality added to Quest. You can use your favorite Word Processor. The Editors here in Raleigh, USA have decided all to use Macromedia's Dreamweaver. You can use whatever you want. I personally use Notepad. However I would not suggest you use Word or WordPro simply because they produce crappy looking HTML that other's might not be able to use.
