Hyperbole User Manual

8.2 Rolo Menu

The Rolo/ menu entry on the Hyperbole top-level menu provides the user interface to the rolodex. The rolo menu provides access to the following commands:

Menu Item Command Description ==================================================================== Add rolo-add Adds a rolodex entry Display rolo-display-matches Displays last matches again Edit rolo-edit Edits an existing rolodex entry Info Displays Rolodex manual entry Kill rolo-kill Removes an entry from the rolodex Mail rolo-mail Mail to address following point Order rolo-sort Sorts all levels in rolodex RegexFind rolo-grep Finds all entries containing a regular expression StringFind rolo-fgrep Finds all entries containing a string WordFind rolo-word Finds all entries containing a string of whole words Yank rolo-yank Inserts first matching rolodex entry at point ====================================================================

A prefix argument used with either of the find commands listed above limits the search to a maximum number of matches given by the argument. The search is terminated whenever that number of matches is found.

For any of the above commands that prompt for a name, you may use the form parent/child to locate a child entry below a parent entry. So for a rolodex which looked like so:

* Company ** Manager *** Underlings

You could edit the Underlings entry by identifying it as Company/Manager/Underlings. Do not use this hierarchical notation in search expressions since the whole rolodex will be searched anyway. Thus, "Underlings" as a search pattern will find an entry containing "Underlings" at any level in a hierarchy, like so:

*** Underlings
