<div>Oberon uses the middle mouse button (MM) to start a command. Move the mouse over any command in any text, and activate MM. The interface is actually very simple, but it is novel and "European" so you will need to read some of the documentation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>A lot of care went into the system so that you can activate the command to take you into the documentation when the system starts up. It may be helpful to read everything that is visible when you start, and then open the viewer.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There are at least 2 flavors of Oberon at this time. To give more specific help to you, you may want to look at the first line in the Log window, and let us know which one you are running.</div><div><br>

<br>
I am a Linux user. I am new to Oberon systems.<br>
I tried running one Oberon system in Virtual Box, though slow, it started.<br>
Now the big question is, I am hopeless in the UI.<br>
<br>
I found from net that, there used to be a book detailing user manual.<br>
Now it is not available. How to know how to use this OS (at least for me<br>
like novice)?<br>
Do any body have a e copy of that material, or any sources of similar<br>
user manual saying how to use this OS?<br>
<br>
I am not able to find the root directory or file system.<br>
How do we run applications?<br>
<br>
Or shall it be better to start with an Oberon system that has simpler<br>
interface?<br>
<br>
Please guide me the best way to learn using this OS.<br>
<br>
With thanks and best regards,<br>
<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
Srinivas Nayak<br>
