4.2 The main-menu of gnome-akfavatar
When you invoke the command gnome-akfavatar you will get a menu
from which you can choose what to do.
You get the following menu-items:
show a demo or textfile- You get a file selection box and you can choose a text-file or a demo,
which is then opened in avatarsay. A demo is a text-file,
which uses commands for avatarsay (see Commands for avatarsay).
create or edit a demo- can be used to create a new demo or edit an existing one. When you enter
a filename which doesn't exist yet, the file is created with an
appropriate
#!-line. If you chose a different avatar-image before
invoking this item, a command .avatarimage is also included in this
file. The executable bit will be set on the created file. Note: All this is
just be done for new files, not for files which already existed before.
show a manpage- you are prompted to enter the name of a manpage you want to view.
If you want to see a manpage from a special section, you can enter the section
number in front of the name separated by a space. For example ‘6 intro’
