- BEL Directory Change will enable you to:

  -- Change directories with minimum keystrokes

  -- Never allow you to forget difficult paths and directory names.
      
      --- e.g. [ BEL win ] will give you a listing of all of your windows
      directories.  You can select the directory's number from a list, or
      click on it with your mouse to change to that directory.
       
       -- e.g. To switch to C:\Windows\Others\Others2, you only need to type
          [ BEL 2 ]. Granted, that's the only directory with "2" in it's name
          that you have.  If not, no problem, the change is still only a
          click or couple of keystrokes away.

       -- [ BEL <drive letter> ] will list all of your directories on the
          drive.

- If the letters that you type are unique to a directory, you will change
  immediately to the directory.

- If the letters are common to more than one directory, all related 
  directories will display.
  
- Commands: 

  -- Page Down =  More directories
  
  -- Page Up   =  Previous directories

  -- ESC       =  Escape to current directory

  -- F1        =  Help

 - Select options or directories with your mouse

 - Two Files are included:

   -- Bel.exe      / Change directory program

   -- Bel.txt      / The file that you are reading

- Getting Started:

  -- Copy BEL.exe to a directory that's in your path
  
  -- Determine which version of DOS that you are using
     --- If unsure type [ ver ]

- Creating Dir.txt:     

   -- If Using DOS 5.0
      --- Type [ BEL 5.0 DIR.TXT ]
   
   -- If using a Version OTHER THAN DOS 5.0
      --- Type [ BEL PRE 5.0 DIR.TXT ]

   -- Enter the command EXACTLY as shown

- DOS 5.0 users
 
  -- May create Dir.txt by typing either command however, Dir.txt will take
     longer to create if the Pre 5.0 Dir.txt command is used.
  
- Pre DOS 5.0 users 

  -- Must use the Pre 5.0 Dir.txt command

- Dir.txt will be created in your root directory which contains a list of 
  all directories and subdirectories.

- Whenever you modify your directory structure, (add, delete, rename) run
  the appropriate command to recreate Dir.txt.

- Experiment by typing BEL & any letter or combination of letters.  This
     will give you a feel of how the program works.

- Trouble Shooting:
 
  -- If you want to delete a character, type "any" number 4 times.  Only the 
     numbers, page up/down, escape & F1 are supported.  
     A mouse is recommended.

  -- If you choose a directory and end up in your Root Directory, type the
     command to recreate Dir.txt see (Creating Dir.txt).  Chances are, 
     you modified your directory structure.  

- Suggestions:

  -- Rename Bel.exe to reflect your initials.  
  -- Create a batch file named "Update" to create Dir.txt e.g.
     --- @echo off
         BEL <the command to create YOUR Dir.txt>
  -- Create a macro for one of your function keys to run Update.bat
     --- Refer to the section of your DOS manual that covers Ansi.sys

- This program was created due to my dissatisfaction with a particular   
  commercial change directory program.  I had to continually type "parts"
  of a directory name to finally go to the directory that I wanted.

- It was written in Quick Basic 4.5 in EGA mode.

- The mouse routines were adapted from : CRAVER SYSTEMS '90 
                                         SCMOUSE Routines
  
  and Outstanding! addition to my programming arsenal.  Many thanks
  Steve.

- As with any program, you use this one at "your" risk.  Unlike most
 programs this one is FREE. Enjoy.
