DESCRIPTION
Psych is a menu-driven program that creates psychedelic pat-
terns on your node. If you have a color node, you may select
one of six different colors, black, or white for use in
drawing a pattern. If your node is monochromatic, you
choices are obviously limited to black or white lines. The
patterns created by the program are always of random design.
When you first invoke psych, a menu appears in the left-hand
side of the window running the program. To the right is a
large blank area where the pattern you draw will appear. At
the top of the menu are three boxes (EXIT, ERASE, and DRAW).
Below that, there's a box for each of the eight LINE COLORS.
Using either a mouse, a touchpad, or the arrow keys on your
node, place the cursor on a LINE COLOR. Select the color by
pressing the left-most mouse key or hitting <F1> on your
keyboard. You'll notice that the box surrounding the name of
the color is becomes highlighted in reverse video. Now move
your cursor to the box representing the DRAW function.
Select DRAW in the same manner as the line color. A design
will appear in the window. (Note that, though your design
may contain any of the colors available to you, you can only
select one color at a time.) You may then either repeat your
action to add more lines to the design, ERASE the design, or
EXIT the program.
If you need help, point your cursor at any of the boxes in
the menu or on the window that hold the design. Press the
middle key on your mouse, or hit <F2> on your keyboard.
Psych responds by providing a brief description of the func-
tion of that item on the menu.
