Initially, the views show only files with extensions of either .pdb or .prc. Generally files in iSilo™ format have the extension .pdb, though not all files with the extension .pdb are necessarily in iSilo™ format.
Use the directional control (e.g., trackball) to move the cursor in the list up and down, respectively, a line at a time. Click on a volume or folder entry to enter the corresponding volume or folder. To return to the previous containing directory or folder, press the Escape key.
To open a document for viewing move the selection cursor to the document's file name, then click. When you open a document for viewing, iSilo™ transfers you to the read view.
In addition to being able to open documents for viewing, some other things you can do in the document list view include categorizing, deleting, and renaming files. This additional functionality is available in the File sub-menu of the menu when the selection cursor is on a file name.

You can modify the key assignments through the
button options.
Most keys can be assigned an action, but there are some that

a number of configurable options for scrolling.
See navigation for more on navigating
through a document, including information on all the different ways
of scrolling and jumping to different parts of a document.
the read view
The read view presents the content of the document for viewing.
When you view a given document for the first time, you start
at the beginning of the document. A document may consist of
one or more pages and the content of each page may either
fit entirely within the bounds of the screen or if it does
not, you can scroll through the page.
