Preface

This stack contains the most current version of Jennifer Watson’s Ultimate AOL Keyword List, released on 6/20/96. The advantage of using the Hypercard version of the Ultimate AOL Keyword List is that this stack not only lists the keywords, it’s designed to help with navigating in AOL. Here’s how it works.

Click to mark/unmark a line with “•••”. This allows you to mark any interesting-looking areas for later use. Command-click anywhere in the main field to unmark all items.

Click the find button to find text. Option-click it to “find string…”, shift-click it to “find whole…”. Hit to find again. always finds the next “•••” marked item. Click on a letter in the vertical “tabs” field at the right to go to that card.

Shift-click on a line to put the line on the clipboard. A marked line will remain marked, but any “•••” marks will not be included when a line goes onto the clipboard. Option-click on a line to put the keyword only on the clipboard. This gives you a couple of options.

Click on the AOL button, and your AOL application will open, so you can log on. Paste your keyword (after option-clicking) into a “find keyword” dialog, and you’re off and running, or paste the keyword and its description (after shift-clicking) into your “go to” list. You can return to this stack at any time to find and fetch keywords. This makes finding any area in AOL just a matter of a couple of mouse clicks.

Introduction

[The following is the original introduction to the current keyword list file by Jennifer Watson.]

Keywords are the fastest way to move around within America Online. For example, you can “beam” directly to the Keyword List Area where this list is housed by using the keyword: KEYWORD LIST. To use a keyword, use the appropriate keyboard shortcut:

Keywords are communicated to others in a standard format: KEYWORD: Name. The name of the keyword is shown in all caps to distinguish it from other words around it. You do not have to type the keyword in all caps to use it, however.

This list contains every known public keyword at the time of compiling (6/20/96). The keywords are sorted alphabetically, with an asterisk (*) denoting those forums in the free area. A list organized by department is also available in the same library you found this list and both lists are updated on a regular basis. If you did not get this from a library, you can download all the lists (and get more cool info about keywords) at keyword: KEYWORDS. An update history is given at the bottom of the list if you are interested in how quickly new keywords are added. If you find keywords that no longer work or have questions, please send e-mail to screen name “KEY List” (Jennifer Watson).

The Ultimate Keyword List is compiled and maintained for the benefit of the AOL community. If you use this list, I only ask that you drop me some e-mail when you come across a new keyword or one that is missing. If you contribute to this list, I’ll include your name at the bottom! (Note: When you contact me about an addition or omission, please include the date your copy of the Keyword List was last updated. Thanks!)

Administrivia

Please contact screen name “KEY List” if you have additions, changes or corrections. A version sorted by channel is also available. This list may distributed electronically to anyone if kept intact. If you’d like to use this keyword list (or portions of it) in your document, guide, book, forum or own version of a keyword list, please contact “Jennifer” before use and send a copy of your work.

This list is compiled and maintained with the help of my two invaluable assistants, KEY Bobby and KEYValerie. Thank you!
