	"you have to use three `\\@ ' symbols, as shown; "
	"with a single word, you may use a single `\\@ '.")
NORMAL ("In resolving the file name, the ManPages system replaces spaces "
	"and other special symbols with underscores, "

NORMAL ("The format of the sound link \"$$\\@ \\@ \\bsFIo.aifc|o\\@ $\" is to be understood "
	"as follows. The pipe symbol separates the link information (\\bsFIo.aifc) from the viewable "
	"link text (o). The link information is introduced with a symbol (\\bsFI) that "
	"tells the manual system that a sound file name follows. The manual system reads "
	"this file, sees that it contains a sound, and plays that sound.")
ENTRY ("Script links")
NORMAL ("Your text may contain links to Praat scripts. They are drawn in blue. "

ENTRY ("How to separate link information and link text")
NORMAL ("The separation between link information and viewable link text, as seen "
	"in the above description of sound and script links, is actually a general mechanism "
	"in the hypertext system. For instance, if you want to see the text \"x\" "
	"in blue on your screen, and create a link from it to the page \"Dorsal fricatives\", "
	"you specify the link as $$\\@ \\@ Dorsal fricatives|x\\@ $.")
ENTRY ("Sound buttons")

NORMAL ("1. The #%Record button allows you to record a sound from the microphone.")
NORMAL ("2. The #%Play button allows you to play this recorded sound. "
	"In this way, you can compare your own utterances with the sounds "
	"behind the sound links, for example.")
NORMAL ("3. The #%Publish button copies the latest sound to the list of objects, "
	"allowing you to perform analyses on it, save it to disk, et cetera. "
	"The latest sound may be a sound that you recorded with the #%Record button, "
	"a sound that you played with the #%Play button, "
	"or a sound that you played by clicking on a sound link, "
	"whichever occurred most recently.")
