| A Brief
Outline of Lexicon This version of Lexicon was obtained from a hard drive image. As a result it must be installed on drive C: (which is where it was taken from). The original version contained an installation program which analyzed the computer's environment and set Lexicon up accordingly. Lexicon has an integrated context sensitive help manual. You can always get help for the location you are in by pressing the F1 key. At times, other "F" keys will produce additional help screens. To see which keys are active for help look at the bottom of the screen. At the top-left of the screen are to numerical display fields. The far most left field is the physical line number in the text you are working with. The numerical field next to it is the actual "cypher value" of the word or phrase which is being highlighted. Note that the "+" causes Lexicon to highlight more than one word at a time. When doing so the "cypher value field" displays the total of all words which are highlighted. Other functions which are useful to use is the "Phrase Search" option. It allows you to search for word groups which are equal to the value which you are interested in. (See "Phrase Search" in the on line help manual). The Spreadsheet option produces a spreadsheet of the highlighted text. This is a very interesting and useful function and I suggest that you examine the on line help for more details. There are two programs here for your use. The first is "LEXICON.EXE" which is the text analysis program. It works in conjunction with LEXEDIT.EXE which is the primitive editor provided to enter text. It is important to note that any ASCII file can be analyzed by Lexicon. As a result texts which are obtained on the internet can be used directly by Lexicon. Also, any text editor or word processor which can produce ordinary ASCII is compatible with Lexicon to build new texts. The second is called "STAR26.EXE" which is a graphical program that displays the various "cyphers" which are available to Lexicon. (For more information please refer to "So Many Stars" by Soror Ishtaria. STAR26.EXE is a primitive application that was written several years after Lexicon was completed making it possible to examine star cyphers displayed in the 26 pointed geometry. Lexicon was written under a pen name. I no longer see the need for this and will change this when I have re-created the development environment which I was using 9 years ago. (This posses more difficulty then it would seem to a non-programmer). Finally, the best way to get to know Lexicon is to work with it (and try different settings as suggested in the on line help manual). In closing, remember that "Cypher 6" is the English Qabalah which has also been sometimes known as the NAEQ. All of the other cyphers are almost completely unexplored territory.
