You can also generate a report with several lines surrounding each hit you have located, but this is probably less useful than the following procedure for saving material. Making a File Portion for Saving To save material first highlight it by either holding down the shift key while you use the arrow keys to move from present cursor position to the end of the material you want to save, OR use the mouse with the left button held down to highlight the material you want to save. Finally, you can enter any notes you would like to make to yourself in the notes box. The next time you save material to the same file, dtSearch will ask you if you want to append the existing material there. In order to accumulate the new material with the material you have already saved there, say yes .
Help is available through the help menu at the top right of the main menu bar .
There are other features of dtSearch that need not concern you. If you want to experiment with them or have trouble with any of the basic commands, use this help command. It will be quickest, easiest, and best to save too much rather than too little. By saving things that appear promising to disk you can experiment further using your favorite word processor. You can cut and paste appropriate material into your report for instance.
