                                 ============


WELCOME TO TURBOLOG!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TurboLog is a fully integrated logging program, morse generator and cluster
access system. It is really two products rolled into one: ClusTerm and Log.
As you progress through the features of TurboLog you'll see how the two
halves of the program work together to give you full station management
information at your fingertips.

%OPENING
THE TURBOLOG OPENING MENU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this menu you can select which part of the program you want to use. You
can always get back to this menu by pressing ESC one or more times.

F1 accesses the logbook functions. Logging QSO's, producing listings, QSL
   operations, morse code generation etc. are all available via this key.

F2 allows you to perform packet functions such as connecting to your local
   cluster node and other services such as your BBS. Note that you can get
   to MOST of the packet functions from the Log side of the program too.

%TLLIST
LISTINGS FROM TURBOLOG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is menu option F2 from the Logging operations menu.
There are three types of listing available:

F1      LOGBOOK LISTINGS
        Listings of logbook entries, selected by country, callsign, locator
        etc., and filtered by date, time or QSO number. Listings can be
        displayed on the screen, printed or logged to a file.

F2      DXCC LISTINGS
        DXCC worked listings. Can be filtered in various ways to present views
        on your DXCC activity. Listings can be displayed on the screen,
        printed or logged to a file.

F3      USER DEFINED KEYWORD LISTINGS
        If you use the User Defined Keyword field, then you can subsequently
        produce listings (eg: of US States or WAB areas worked) using this
        function.

%TLMORSE
MORSE KEYER OPERATIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is menu item F3 from the Logging operations menu.
Morse Keyer Operations allows you to do the following things:

1.  Edit any morse messages file and/or set it as the file currently in use.
    You can have any number of morse message files, but only one can be in
    use at a time. You can edit an existing file and set it as operational
    without actually saving the file to disc.

2.  Edit any morse profile and/or set it as the profile currently in use.
    The morse profile contains information such as the various preset speeds,
    mark/space and spacing characteristics and sidetone features. You may have
    many different predefined profiles if you wish.

%TLQSL
QSL OPERATIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is menu item F4 from the Logging operations menu.
You can print QSL labels and also edit the actual format of the labels from
this menu item:

F1  Print QSL labels.
    You can select Bureau/Direct/All, print order (QSO or callsign), date
    ranges to be printed and one of any number of label formats to be used.
    Label printing can be immediate, or to a print file. In addition, an
    option is provided to print test labels for printer label alignment.

F2  Edit QSL labels.
    You may have any number of label formats, and the label editor allows you
    to generate and edit these formats. Various label sizes and web sizes are
    available, and a test print facility is also included.

%MATRIX
THE "WORKED MATRIX"    
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is option F5 from the Logging operations menu, or F4 from the Packet
operations menu. It can also be hot-keyed to from many other windows.

This displays a concise matrix of countries worked by CONTINENT and
MODE. Each continent can be selected by a function key, whilst the mode is
selected by pressing the space-bar. Worked data is supplied as a single line
per prefix which is 12 characters in length. Each character position
represents a single band, in the order given by you in TURBOLOG.CNF.

A summary display is also available, showing DXCC band/mode counts for
various combinations of bands, and band by band.

ESC          Go back to whence you came
F1           Help!
F2-F7        Select Continent (only used in matrix display)
Space Bar    Select Mode
F8           Switch between summary page and matrix pages.

The icons used in the matrix display have the following meaning:
^030            Worked this band/mode during current period
^127            Worked during previous periods
^001            Worked during both previous and current periods

%TLUTILS
LOGBOOK UTILITIES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This menu allows you to perform a number of TurboLog support activities. It is
option F6 from the Logging operations menu.

F1      Set the system clock. A menu guides you through this operation
F2      Edit the TurboLog configuration. Changes made are applied
        as soon as the menu is redisplayed. If you edit serial port
        parameters then you must restart TurboLog.
F3      Edit your Personal Directory.
F4      Edit your DXCC worked database. A sub-menu allows you to:
        F1   Edit an individual DXCC country's worked status
        F2   Reset the database to nothing worked (be careful!)
        F3   Set all DXCC countries to worked/QSL'd for each mode
        F5   Terminate current period and start a new one
        F6   Help
F5      Perform TurboLog import, sort and rebuild operations on the log
        database. (see below)
F6      Help. Displays this help page.

%TLIMPORT
IMPORT, INDEX AND DXCC REBUILD OPERATIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
General WARNING! These operations can all become quite time consuming as they
require one or more complete scans through the log database. The sort
operation is particularly lengthy.

F1      Import from other logging programs. You can import from another
        TurboLog file, from G3WGV Contest Log, from K1EA CT and from any other
        ASCII file that contains a basic minimum set of logbook fields.

F2      Sorting the database. This operation completely sorts and rebuilds the
        database. It deletes void QSO's, and orders valid QSO's into date/time
        order. This is useful if you have imported a file out of date
        sequence. Finally, the index files are rebuilt. It can take a
        L-O-N-G time!

F3      Rebuild DXCC database. It is possible for the DXCC worked database to
        get out of step with your log. This option scans the log and rebuilds
        your DXCC and QSL status database.

F4      Rebuild Index Files. If you have made edits to your log, then the
        various indexes (callsign, band, mode, DXCC country etc) may become
        inaccurate. This will affect the results you get in list operations.
        F4 performs a scan and rebuild. It can be quite lengthy, particularly
        if you chose to rebuild ALL the index files.

%EXTERNAL
EXTERNAL DATABASES & GATEWAYS    
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is option F7 from the Logging operations menu, or F6 from the Packet
operations menu.

Up to ten external databases/gateways can be defined. Option J is normally a
DOS gateway. If you exit through this gateway, be careful not to run programs
that will conflict with TurboLog, such as other terminal emulators. To return
to TurboLog, type EXIT. All cluster information is buffered so nothing will
be lost (unless you stay in DOS for a very long time and fill up the buffer!)

                              PACKET OPERATIONS
                              =================

%CLMAIN
PACKET OPERATIONS MENU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The opening menu has several options, each of which are described in more
detail below. To select an option, you can do any of the following:
    Use cursor up/down keys to position to the required option, then Enter
    Press the appropriate function key
    Press just the number of the appropriate function key

LINKING, CONNECTION and DISCONNECTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will be disconnected (that is, the TNC is not in communication
with PacketCluster) when you start up TurboLog. Select F1 to get a menu of
Clusters to which you can connect. You can define up to four PacketClusters
in CLUSTERM.CNF, and each may be via NetRom nodes or other indirect access
methods. See the file CLUSTERM.CNF for more information.

One of the connect options can be to a "cluster" called DEMO. This is a simple
emulation program which allows you to run TurboLog without being connected to
PacketCluster. You must still have a TNC connected to use the emulator.

When you are connected, this menu topic is changed to allow you to disconnect
from your PacketCluster.

If TurboLog has been unable to establish a link to your TNC, then this menu
topic is changed to allow you to try the link again.

%FILTERED
THE FILTERED and UNFILTERED DX WINDOWS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These windows are identical in their operation. They differ in that the
Filtered window only displays DX spots that passed your filtering rules,
whilst the Unfiltered window displays all DX spots received.

If you have set up your countries worked data, then these windows will also
show whether you need a DX spot on any of four modes. You would normally
expect to stay in one or other of these windows during DXing activity.

From these windows, you can send DX alerts and construct various reports,
announcements, mail etc. You can also make enquiries of the DXCC database.
You are also informed of the arrival of Talk and Mail messages, WWV reports
and Announce messages, via pop up windows.

Cursor up    Scroll back (up) a line in the DX alerts window
Cursor dn    Scroll forward (down) a line in the DX alerts window
