THE HELP SYSTEM:

HOW TO USE HELP:

    Most of the operations in the system have help screens assigned to them.
    For all of the functions that do have help screens assigned to them,
    the access is F1.  When F1 is pressed, either a scrolling help system
    will appear or a small idea box will pop up.

                                LOG ONTO SYSTEM:

HOW TO LOG ON:

    Move the menu bar to LOG ONTO SYSTEM and press enter.  At the new screen
    move the menu bar to the user that you want to activate and press enter.
    If successful, the white text on black background on the main menu screen 


    will display the user that is logged on and that user's level; otherwise,
    NONE will be displayed for the user and access is denied to everything
    except QUIT, LOG ONTO SYSTEM, and SYSTEM HELP.

ABOUT LOG ON:

    If this is the first time the program is to be used, the password for 
    user (OWNER) is (MASTER).  It is advised that the password for master be 
    changed to another password and that you write the password down and  
    save it somewhere.  To LOG OFF of the system select any user and press 
    enter.

    ** NOTE, all passwords are case sensitive.

                             PASSWORD PROTECTION:

ABOUT PASSWORD PROTECTION:

    There are two functions under password protection.  One is the password
    editor, which allows a database owner to assign users, user passwords,
    and user access level.  NOTE - the users assigned will appear in the
    log on box.  The other function is the access class.  This function 
    allows a user to customize the program for what level functions the 
    users will be capable of accessing.

                              ASCII FILE EDITOR:

ABOUT ASCII FILE EDITOR:

    This is a simple word processor.  Users are able to open and alter 
    existing files on the system, and users are able to create new files
    on the system. 

    NOTE - all of the help files were written on this system.  If there is
    some user defined help that a user would like to include in the help,
    it is as easy as opening the file and making the modifications.
