Hedwig

a RISC OS program to launch programs etc.

Hedwig is a program designed to make it easier to use your computer. It does this by enabling you to do a lot of things with the keyboard. For example, it is very easy to start a program, google for something, start writing a mail.

If you for example would like to start the Draw application, you simply press <Ctrl-Space> and you type 'draw', and press <Enter>. You probably do not even need to type 'draw' completely!

To Google for something, you just press <Ctrl-Space> and you type 'google', <Tab> and type your search criteria just as you would in the Google website, and you press <Enter>.

To mail someone, you press <Ctrl-Space>, start typing the name of the person you want to mail. As soon as the full name of the person you want to mail appears, you press <Tab>, you type the subject for your mail and you press <Enter>.

Some other features of Hedwig:

32-bit compatible.
Fully multitasking.
Access to the address book for Messenger.
Access to the bookmarks for NetSurf.
Free (but you do need to send me a mail!).
