                             GENERAL OVERVIEW

  At any time during the operation of the program, you may press the [Alt-C]
  key combination to activate an on-screen calculator.   The [Esc] key  will
  return  you  to  the  program at the point  from  which  you  started  the
  calculator.   Another "always available"  command is the  [Alt-S]  command
  which displays the current space statistics of your disk drives and  other
  program  option settings.   Again,  the [Esc] key will return you  to  the
  point  at which the statistics screen was activated.   [Alt-P] displays  a
  detailed copyright notice and [Alt-H] displays help information.  When you
  use  [Alt-H],  the first screen to appear is a quick index  for  the  help
  system.   You  may  jump to a section of the help  file  by  pressing  the
  appropriate  hilited letter.   You may always return to the help index  by
  pressing  [Home].   [Alt-L] displays a calendar and [Alt-D] provides quick
  access  to  the  DOS prompt.   The current  directory  will  be  whichever
  directory was  currently in use by the FILE command of the program.   From
  the DOS prompt, you may enter  any DOS command  (given sufficient memory).
  [F1-F10] recalls the last 10 DOS commands.   [Esc] returns to the program.

  Most  of the program functions are executed through the list  of  commands
  shown in the bottom area of the screen.   The [Space] or  [BackSpace] keys
  may be used to highlight the desired command.  The one-line description of
  the   command  shown  on  the  last  line  of  the  screen   will   change
  appropriately.  To execute any of the functions, press the first letter of
  the  command.   The command corresponding to the selected letter  will  be
  immediately executed.

  Some commands will move to another command list.   The name of the current
  command  list is always shown on the left side of the command  list.   You
  may  move  to  a previous command list by pressing the  [Esc]  key.   Most
  command  lists also have a QUIT command which will move  to  the  previous
  command list.

  Occasionally,  you will be presented with a vertical list of  choices  for
  some program function options.  Select from these lists by pressing the up
  or  down  arrow  keys  and  press  [Enter]  when  the  desired  option  is
  highlighted.   If  the  first letters of the options  are  shown  in  bold
  characters,  you may press the corresponding letter to make  a  selection.
  You may optionally press the [Esc] key to abort the selection process.  In
  general, the [Esc] key serves to abort any operation or selection.

  At  many  points  in  the  program,  you  will  be  entering  or  changing
  information  on the screen.   The procedure is generally the same  and  is
  outlined  here.   Differences that occur in this procedure are covered  in
  the appropriate detail sections of this documentation.

  When  entering or updating data screens,  a flashing  "*"  will appear  on
  the data screen  to  indicate  where  information  is  to  be entered.   A
  cursor will  also  show  the  current position within a data field.   Data
  fields are the hilited areas  of the screen.  Some or all of the following
  commands will be available for data entry:

    [left/right arrow]:  Moves the cursor within the current field.  If the
                         the cursor is at the first position within a field,
                         then the previous field will be selected.  If the
                         cursor is at the last position within a field, then
                         the next field will be selected.

    [ctrl-left/right]:   Moves the cursor to the first position or last
                         character of the field.

    [F1/F2]:             Enters the current date/time if appropriate.

    [F5/F6]:             Moves to the previous/next record (databases only).

    [Ctrl-home/end]:     Moves to the first or last record (databases only).

    [up/down arrow]:     Selects the previous or next data field for editing.

    [Enter/return]:      Same as right or down arrow for next field.

    [F8]:                Blanks the current data field.

    [Esc]:               Aborts changes made to the data screen and completes
                         enter/update action.

    [F10]:               Accepts changes to the data screen and completes
                         enter/update action.


                          MAIN MENU COMMANDS

  BACKUP

  Attempts  to locate and execute the Backup/Restore  program  to  perform a
  perform  a hard disk backup or restoration.  The Backup/Restore program is
  a separate program that is  used to backup your hard disk to floppy disks.
  If  you  have not  purchased  and installed the Backup/Restore program,  a
  message will indicate that the program could not be found.


  DISKFORMAT

  The  DISKFORMAT  command  is used like the DOS FORMAT  command  to  format
  diskettes.   For your protection, the  DISKFORMAT  command will not format
  hard disk drives.   When you select the DISKFORMAT command,  a screen will
  appear for you to enter the format specifications:

       FORMAT DRIVE:   The letter designating the drive to format.

       TYPE:           This is the type of drive to format:

                             1 = 360K    3 = 720K
                             2 = 1.2M    4 = 1.4M

       VOLUME LABEL:   Up to 11 characters may be entered as a volume
                       label to be placed on the disk.

  When  you have entered the appropriate data for the format  specification,
  [F10]  will  begin  the format process.   All  disks  formatted  with  the
  DISKFORMAT  command  will  be checked for bad sectors.   Progress  of  the
  format operation will be shown on the screen.   When the format  operation
  is complete,  the total and available bytes on the formatted disk will  be
  shown, as well as the number of bytes in bad sectors found and marked.  If
  you  wish to  format another  disk, you may  press  [F10]  when the format
  specification screen is showing again.  Press [Esc] to  end the formatting
  session.


  FILE

  Moves to the FILE command list described later.


  INDEX

  Moves to the INDEX database.  See the section on DATABASE COMMANDS.


  MENU

  Moves to the MENU command list described later.


  SETUP

  Moves to the program setup data screen described later.


  TREE

  See the sections on DATABASE COMMANDS and PROTECTION & USAGE.












                           DATABASE COMMANDS

  There are  three databases in the program:  the Index,  Timelog, and  User
  databases.  In general, the program databases operate in the same fashion.
  After you select a database from the program main menu,   a screen appears
  that displays information relative to the database in use.  Line 24 of the
  screen will display information related to the current database. This line
  will show, in order,  the name of the current database,  the current order
  of the database,  the page and number of pages total,   the current record
  number,  the number of records currently stored in the database, the total
  number of records counting  previously deleted records,  and the number of
  records that may  still be added to the database  (dependant on disk space
  remaining).  Following is a description of the standard database commands.

  Browse:  Shows the records in tabular format.  The [PgUp/PgDn] and [Up/
           Down arrow] keys are used to move through the list.  The [left/
           right] arrow keys scroll the screen horizontally.  [^Home] and
           [^End] immediately jump to the beginning and end of the database
           respectively. [Esc] returns to the original database screen at
           the original record and [Enter] selects the record that the
           arrow is pointing to.  Search options are included in the BROWSE
           command to allow quick location of records. The [F1] and [F2]
           keys are used to set the primary and secondary search strings for
           the field currently shown on the left side of the BROWSE screen.
           After the desired search strings have been set, [F5] and [F6] are
           used to search forward or backward through the database.  A match
           indicator is shown on the lower right corner of the screen.  The
           [F9] key may be used to examine the current record in detail
           before leaving the BROWSE mode.

  Delete:  Deletes the current record after user confirmation.

  Enter:   Enters a new record into the current database.  The GENERAL
           OVERVIEW section describes data entry in detail.

  Find:    Finds a record matching the current order key.  You will be
           prompted to enter a key to match.  You may enter a partial key
           key and the program will attempt to find the closest match.

  Key:     Allows you to add or remove a key field (a field to sort on).
           A list of fields will appear from which you may select a new key
           or a key to delete.  Current key fields will be marked with a "K"
           or "k" to indicate unique or duplicate keys respectively.  Only
           duplicate keys may be added or deleted.

  Misc:    Miscellaneous database functions.  Fixup is the most common
           command found here.  Fixup performs two functions.  First, it
           attempts to rebuild damaged databases by scanning the database
           and reconstructing the index files.  Second, Fixup attempts to
           free unused disk space by eliminating old records (previously
           deleted) from the database.  The Fixup command may be necessary
           if damage has occurred in one of the databases for some unknown
           reason or if you have deleted many records from a given database.
           Fixup will free unused disk space and speed database access.

  Order:   Changes the order that records will be displayed.  A list of key
           field choices will appear from which you may select the desired
           order.  Key fields are marked with a "K" or "k" to indicate
           unique keys or duplicate keys respectively.

  Report:  Allows selection of reports to print for the database.  Reports
           offered for each database incluse all records and current record
           detail.  Additional reports will be available for each database
           as required.

  Transfer: Transfers the database records to an Ascii file that for use by
           programs.  Each field in the database will be place on a separate
           line in the output file.  Text fields will be enclosed in quotes,
           numeric fields are left-justified without quotes.  The field
           specifications are detailed in the appropriate database section
           of the printed documentation.  The Transfer command creates a
           file with the same name as the current database, but with a
           ".TFR" extension.  If the transfer file already exists, you will
           be asked if it is ok to replace it.  All records will be sent to
           the output file.

  Update:  Updates the current database record. The GENERAL OVERVIEW section
           describes data entry in detail.


                            FILE COMMANDS

  IMPORTANT:   YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SELECT ORIGIN AND TARGET DIRECTORIES BEFORE
  USING  FILE  COMMANDS!!!   IF YOU CHANGE FLOPPY DISKS,  YOU MUST  USE  THE
  ORIGIN  OR  TARGET  COMMAND  IN THE TREE  COMMANDS  TO  RE-LOG  THE  DISK,
  OTHERWISE THE FILE DISPLAY WILL BE INCORRECT.

  The  file  commands  provide  a  comprehensive  set  of functions for file
  manipulation.   When you select  FILE  from the main menu,  a dual display
  screen will appear.  The left half of the screen displays a list  of files
  and the right half of the screen displays the subdirectories on your  hard
  disk.   If no files are found,  a NO FILES FOUND message will be displayed
  on the file side of the screen.

  The FILE and TREE commands work in concert.  The file list shown is always
  for the directory (or floppy disk) marked on the tree with an "O" denoting
  Origin.   In addition,  the current Origin and Target paths will be  shown
  (abbreviated) above the graphic tree display.

  File  commands  generally  operate on the currently  hilited  file.   Some
  commands  like  Copy will also use the directory (or floppy  disk)  marked
  with a "T"  for Target.   You may move between the FILE and TREE sides  of
  the  screen  with  the right and left  arrow  keys.   Additional  commands
  available with FILE that are not shown on the menu are:

     [Enter]:   Tags/untags the currently hilited file for BLOCK commands.

     [+ or -]:  Tags/untags all files for use with BLOCK command.

     [^PgDn]:   Tags current file and moves cursor down.

     [up/down arrow], [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home], [End]:  Moves the hilite bar.

     [Tab]:     Moves between file lists if split window mode is used.


  ATTR

  Used  to  change the attributes,  date, or time of the  currently  hilited
  file.   Choices include Read-only, Hidden, System, and Archive.   A pop-up
  list will appear from which you may examine the current attribute settings
  or change to new attributes.   [Esc] will leave the attributes  unchanged.
  If  you  select  [D] for Date,  a prompt will appear  over  the  currently
  hilited file's date and then time for your modification.


  BLOCK

  Used to perform a Copy,  Delete, Move,  Newcopy,  or Rename operation on a
  group of tagged files.   When you select BLOCK,  a new menu will appear on
  the  bottom of the screen.   The command options will be  displayed  along
  with the number of tagged files and the total size in bytes of the  tagged
  files.   When  you have tagged the desired files,  press  the  appropriate
  command letter and the operation will begin.  Files will be untagged after
  each  operation  is completed.   If all files are Deleted or  Moved,  then
  execution will automatically return to the FILE COMMANDS menu,  otherwise,
  you must press [Esc] or [right arrow] when you are finished with the BLOCK
  commands.


  COPY

  Used  to copy the currently hilited file from the ORIGIN directory to  the
  TARGET directory.  If the ORIGIN and TARGET directories are the same, then
  you  will  be  prompted  for  a new file  name.   The  result  is  a  file
  duplication in the ORIGIN directory.   If the selected file exists in  the
  TARGET  directory,  then you  will  be asked  if it is  ok to  replace the
  existing file.


  DELETE

  Used to delete the currently hilited file.   You will be asked if it is ok
  to delete the file before the deletion takes place.


  EDIT

  When  you select EDIT,  the text file editor  will automatically  load the
  currently hilited file.   Instructions for the editor  can be found in the
  program documentation and in a separate help screen in the editor.   Files
  used with the editor must  be standard text and can be no larger than 64K.


  FILTER

  Used  to filter the file search for the file display list.  The default is
  "*.*"   which will find all files.   File filter strings are the  same  as
  used  in DOS (see your DOS manual for details).   When you select  FILTER,
  the  cursor will move to the top of the screen where FILTER appears.   You
  may then edit the string to match the files of interest.

  If you do not see the files you think you should see in a directory,  then
  look at the current FILTER to make sure you have not excluded any files.


  GLOBAL

  Used  to search your entire hard disk for files matching the current  file
  filter.   After you have used the FILTER command to select the appropriate
  files,  use GLOBAL to search the entire disk.   Two options for GLOBAL are
  all files or quick scan.  The all files option gathers all  matching files
  into one file list.   These files  may  then  be  deleted or  moved to the
  current target directory.   The quick scan option pauses in each directory
  to allow the following options:

     D)elete:    Deletes the currently hilited file.  If the deleted file was
                 the only file left in the current list, the global search
                 will continue.

     N)ext Dir:  Skips the current directory and continues the global search.

     [Esc]:      Stops the global search and stays in the current directory.

  All of the file list commands  (arrows,  [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End])
  will  operate  when global search has paused in a  directory.   A  current
  count  of files found and deleted will be displayed in the bottom  portion
  of the screen when using the quick scan option.  The ORIGIN directory will
  be hilited on the directory tree as the global search proceeds.


  HEX

  Used to edit any file in Hex/Ascii mode.   When you select HEX,  the first
  256  bytes of the currently hilited file will be read into memory and  the
  HEX screen will appear.   The left side of the screen displays the file in
  Hex  code  and  the right side displays the  Ascii  equivalent.   Commands
  included in HEX are:

    [F1]:         Rereads the current 256 bytes from disk

    [F2]:         Saves the current 256 bytes to disk

    [F3]:         Jumps to the Hex side of the screen

    [F4]:         Jumps to the Ascii side of the screen

    [F10], [Esc]: Quits the Hex/Ascii editing session

  The [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End]] keys work as expected.


  LOCATE

  Used to locate text strings in files anywhere on the hard disk.   When you
  select LOCATE, you will be prompted for a text string to find. Options for
  LOCATE include all directories,  current directory only,  and forward from
  the current directory.   If the text is found, a portion of the file which
  contains the text will be shown with the  search text hilited.    You then
  have the option to continue or stop the search. [Esc] aborts the search at
  any time.


  MOVE

  Used  to move the currently hilited file from the ORIGIN directory to  the
  TARGET directory.   If  the selected  file exists  in the TARGET directory
  then you will be asked if it is  ok  to replace the existing file.  If you
  think you have lost a file  after using MOVE, check which directory is set
  as TARGET, then look there for your file.


  NEWER

  NEWER is similar to the  COPY  command except that if the Target  contains
  a file with the same name, the date and time of the files will be compared
  and the Target file will only be replaced if the Origin file is newer.  If
  no Target exists, the copy will proceed.


  PRINT

  Used to print text files and the file list. If printing the file list, you
  may select an expanded list including filename, size, date,  and time,  or
  filenames  only.   Print Text File prints the file.   HP  Laser  2  Column
  prints the file in a double column format on HP LaserJet printers with  80
  character  lines/60 lines per page.  Use a word processor to  format  text
  files to improve appearance before printing.


  RENAME

  Used  to change the name of the currently hilited file.   When you  select
  RENAME,  the cursor moves to the name of the currently hilited file.   You
  may then enter a new name for the file.


  SORT

  Used to sort file list by Date, Extension, Inverse date, Name or Size.


  TREE

  Moves to the TREE commands (same as right-arrow)


  VIEW

  Used to view the currently hilited file. VIEW commands include:

      [F1]:  Toggles filtering of characters of Ascii 128 or higher.

      [F2]:  Toggles the display of printable characters only.


  WINDOW

  Splits the file list into two windows,  one for  Origin  files and one for
  Target files.  The  [Tab]  key is used to move between the windows.   File
  commands will only operate on the Origin file list.


  XECUTE

  Executes the currently hilited file in memory (.COM or .EXE only).  DO NOT
  EXECUTE MEMORY RESIDENT PROGRAMS!!!   The  ability  to execute programs is
  limited by the amount of memory currently available (see [alt-S] command).


                              INDEX DATABASE

  The Index database is used to store information from a variety of sources.
  The database contains fields for an item name,  category,  date, keywords,
  and several comment fields.  The database is primarily designed to use for
  file names and descriptions to facilitate locating files, but the database
  may potentially be used for lists of any types of item. The category field
  is useful to separate items in the database  if more than one type of item
  is stored.

  The commands used in the index database are explained in the documentation
  in the DATABASE COMMANDS section.   Reports included in the index database
  include All Entry Detail,  Current Entry Detail, Keyword Match, and Single
  Category.






                             MENU COMMANDS

  The  Menu commands are used to manipulate the user defined program  menus.
  User menus consist of menu titles, commands that you wish to execute,  the
  directory  path from which  to execute the command and optional passwords.
  The  menu entries  are  created  and  modified with  the  ADD  and  CHANGE
  commands described below.   Up to  30  menu entries may be defined for the
  program.  Each  of  these menu entries may contain up to 10  more  submenu
  entries.  Following is a description of each of the Menu commands.


  ADD

  Used to add new menu entries into the program.    When you select  ADD,  a
  hilite bar will appear in the center portion of the screen.  Use the arrow
  keys  to select a position for your new menu entry (don't worry,  you  can
  move  it later).   When the desired position is hilited,  press   [Enter].
  The MENU DETAIL data screen appears with the following data fields:

     MENU ENTRY TITLE:    This name will appear on the main screen.
                          screen.  The first menu title line defines the
                          main entry.  The first capital letter in the
                          main entry is used for Ctrl-letter selection.
                          The remaining 10 lines are for submenu entries.
                          You MUST enter a title in the first line, but the
                          rest may be blank.  If you enter submenu titles,
                          use different starting letters for each title so
                          selection may be made by the first letter.

     COMMAND TO EXECUTE:  The command you enter here will be executed when
                          you select this menu entry on the main screen.  If
                          you leave the first command blank and define some
                          of the submenu commands, the submenu will be
                          invoked when you select the corresponding menu
                          entry.  Several commands (up to 50 characters) may
                          be entered on one line by separating each command
                          with the vertical bar |.  A } symbol forces
                          prompting for parameters.  If you place the carat
                          symbol ^ in the command string, the program will
                          not resume after command execution.

     APPLICATION PATH:    As you move through each of the menu title or
                          command fields, the path for the current menu line
                          will appear here.  You may specify different paths
                          for each menu entry.  If you do not specify any
                          paths, the root directory is used.  If no path is
                          specified for a submenu entry, the main entry path
                          is used. [F7] displays the tree for path selection.

     APPLICATION PASSWORD: The [F3] key is used to set or change passwords.
                          You may specify different passwords for each
                          command in the menu entry.  If a password is
                          specified and PROTECTION is enabled (see SETUP)
                          then when users attempt to select the menu entry,
                          they will be required to enter the password.

  In addition,  [F5] allows you to  delete one of  the menu  entry lines and
  [F6] allows you to switch  two lines. When you have finished entering your
  menu entry, [F10] saves the entry.  [Esc] aborts all changes.


  CHANGE

  Used  to change the specifications for an existing menu entry.   When  you
  select  CHANGE,  a hilite will appear on the first menu  entry.   Use  the
  arrow keys and  [Enter] to select the menu entry you wish to change.   The
  MENU DETAIL data screen will then appear.   Editing of this screen is  the
  same as for the ADD command.


  DELETE

  Used to delete a menu entry.  When you select DELETE,  a hilite appears on
  the first menu entry.  Use the arrow keys and  [Enter]  to select the menu
  entry to delete.  [Esc] will abort the process.


  EXCHANGE

  Used to exchange two existing menu entries.   When you select EXCHANGE,  a
  hilite will appear on the first menu entry.   The  arrow keys  and [Enter]
  select the first menu entry for the exchange  operation.  A flashing arrow
  will mark your spot.  The arrow keys and  [Enter]  are then used to select
  the second menu entry for the exchange.  [Esc] will abort the process.


  MOVE

  Used  to move an existing menu entry to a new location.   When you  select
  MOVE,  a hilite will appear on the first menu entry.   Use the arrow  keys
  and  [Enter]  to select the menu entry that you wish to move.   A flashing
  arrow  will  mark  your spot.   Next,  use the arrow keys and  [Enter]  to
  select the new location for the menu entry.  [Esc] will abort the process.


  UPGRADE

  Updates previous versions of the menu file to the current version.


                                  SETUP

  The  SETUP  command is used to establish the configuration for the program
  as described below.

     COLORS:   Allows changing colors on computers with a color monitor.
               Only the background, low text, normal text, headline, help
               line and mouse cursor colors may be changed.  A sample screen
               is shown to assist in color selection.  The up and down arrow
               keys select a color to modify, and the left and right arrow
               keys choose a color.  Colors take effect after quitting SETUP.

     BEEPER ON?:  If "Y", the computer's beeper will sound on errors.

     HOURLY CHIME?: If "Y", the computer's beeper will sound on the hour.

     EDITOR BACKUPS?:  If "Y", the FILE EDIT text editor will make backups
               (.BAK files) when you save a file.

     MOUSETRAP?:  If "Y", mouse input is enabled if a mouse is attached.

     TEXT EDITOR NAME:  If a text editor file is entered here, then that
               editor will be used in place of the built-in text editor
               when using the FILE EDIT command.  The editor must be able
               to load a file supplied as a command line argument.

     DISK DRIVE USAGE:  Determines the disk drives used on your system for
               directory tree scanning.  Set each drive letter that your
               computer supports to "Y".  If you do not set the correct
               drive letters, the directory tree used in many places in the
               program will not show all of your disk drives.

     FLOPPY DISK #:  Floppy disk drives are numbered from 0 to 3 where 0=A
               and 1=B.  Some systems have additional floppy disk drives
               that have other letters such as F or G.  If your system has
               non-standard floppy disks, you must designate the correct
               floppy disk numbers by entering the appropriate drive letter
               next to the number for your drive.

     BOOT DRIVE:  This is the drive letter that your system boots from.

     PROTECTION ENABLED?:  This option will enable menu passwords, user
               logons, and user access privilege checks.

     USAGE LOG ENABLED?:  This option will force user logons.  Whenever a
               user runs a menu item, logs on or off, or uses the TREE GOTO
               command, their activity will be logged.

     PROMPT BEFORE QUIT?:  If set to "Y", you are asked if you are sure you
               want to quit when selecting QUIT from the Main Menu.

     USE EMS MEMORY?:  The program automatically uses EMS memory.  If you
               have compatibility problems, try setting this option to "N".

     MAIN MENU TITLE:  This name appears on the main program screen.

     TOP LINE TEXT:  This option changes the text displayed on the top line
               of the screen.  DO NOT INFER A CHANGE IN COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP!


                             TREE COMMANDS

  IMPORTANT:   YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SELECT ORIGIN AND TARGET DIRECTORIES BEFORE
  USING  FILE  COMMANDS!!!   IF YOU CHANGE FLOPPY DISKS,  YOU MUST  USE  THE
  ORIGIN  OR  TARGET  COMMAND  IN THE TREE  COMMANDS  TO  RE-LOG  THE  DISK,
  OTHERWISE THE FILE DISPLAY WILL BE INCORRECT.

  Tree commands  provide a  comprehensive set of functions for  subdirectory
  manipulation.   When you select TREE from  the   main menu, a dual display
  screen will appear.  The left half of the screen displays a  list of files
  and the right half of the screen displays the graphic subdirectory tree.

  The FILE and TREE commands work in concert.  The file list shown is always
  for the directory (or floppy disk) marked on the tree with an "O" denoting
  Origin.   You may move between the FILE and TREE sides of the screen  with
  the right and left arrow keys.   The [Enter] key will select the currently
  hilited directory as the ORIGIN.



  A&B

  Adds floppy disk subdirectories (if any) to the graphic tree display.


  COLLECT

  Used to reread the directory names from the hard disk.   Usually it is not
  necessary to use this command.  However, if you make or remove a directory
  while in DOS,  the program will not know that  the directory structure has
  changed unless you use COLLECT.


  DELETE

  Deletes  the currently hilited directory.  You may not remove  directories
  that  have  child directories or those that contain files.   No  prompting
  occurs before the directory is deleted.


  FILE

  Moves to the FILE commands (same as left-arrow).


  GOTO

  Immediately exits the program and moves to the directory that was hilited.


  HIDE

  Hides the currently hilited directory.   The directory name will be masked
  with asterisks "*" to show that it is hidden.   The program can find these
  hidden directories, but they will be hidden from the DOS DIR command.   If
  the directory is already hidden, then the HIDE command will unhide it.  If
  protection is enabled, a hidden directory cannot be selected as the Origin
  or Target.


  MAKE

  Used  to make a new directory following the currently  hilited  directory.
  When  you select MAKE,  you will be prompted for the new  directory  name.
  Directory  names are the same format as file names.   You may have to  use
  SORT after this command to show the directories in correct sorted order.


  ORIGIN

  Selects  the currently hilited directory as the ORIGIN for FILE  commands.
  [Enter] will serve the same purpose as ORIGIN.


  PRINT

  Used  to print the directory tree,  optionally with a list of files  after
  each directory.


  RENAME

  Used to change the name of the currently hilited directory.  A prompt will
  appear over the directory name to allow for entry of a new name.


  SORT

  The directory tree is automatically sorted.  However, if you use the  TREE
  RENAME or MAKE commands, the tree may be out of sorted order.  The program
  will sort the tree the next time it is saved or loaded but you may force a
  sort with the SORT command.


  TARGET

  Selects the currently hilited directory as the  TARGET for  FILE commands.
  If the second file window has been opened using the  FILE WINDOW  command,
  then the files from the Target directory will be shown.


  UNDELETE

  When UNDELETE is selected,  the Origin directory is examined for files and
  subdirectories that have been deleted.  If any are found, they will appear
  in file list.  Files marked with a "*" MAY be fully recoverable, but there
  is no guarantee.   Files without the "*" have been partially or completely
  overwritten.  Pressing  "U"  will cause the program to attempt to undelete
  the currently hilited file.   The Verify option causes the program to show
  each cluster of data  and ask for verification.   This option is useful on
  partially overwritten  files.   As with any  file recovery  program,  this
  program must make  some assumptions during file recovery,  therefore:  ANY
  FILE OR SUBDIRECTORY THAT IS  UNDELETED  SHOULD BE CHECKED AFTER  RECOVERY
  USING FILE VIEW OR ANOTHER METHOD!!!  UNDELETE has not been checked on all
  brands of computers and hard disks, so careful testing should be used when
  first using the UNDELETE command.




                             PROTECTION & USAGE

  If  the Usage Log has been enabled (in SETUP),  users will be required  to
  enter a User Id when they run this program (the User Id is located in  the
  User database).   After the User Id has been verified,  access  priviliges
  from the User database will be recorded for that user.   From that  point,
  until  the  user  quits from the program,  all  system  activity  will  be
  recorded in the Timelog database.  In addition, whenever the user attempts
  to use one of the Hard Disk Manager commands, their access priviliges will
  be checked before access is allowed.  Invalid attempts to access the  Hard
  Disk Manager and the user-defined menus will also be recorded.

  If the Protection system is enabled (in SETUP),  users will be required to
  enter  their password (the password is located in the User database)  when
  first  logging on  to the  Hard Disk Manager.   The protection system also
  provides password protection for  user-defined menu entries  and restricts
  access to directories.



                               USING A MOUSE

  You  may  use  a  mouse instead of the  keyboard for  most  of the program
  operations.  The mouse interface has been designed to be as similar to the
  keyboard commands as possible.

  To  enable the mouse,  the MOUSETRAP option in the program  SETUP  command
  must be set to "Y".   In addition,  you must have previously executed your
  MOUSE  driver  program according to the documentation provided  with  your
  mouse.

  If your mouse has been installed correctly and enabled in SETUP, then upon
  initial  startup of the program,   you will  see the mouse cursor (a solid
  rectangle) on the right side of the screen on the same  line  as the [Alt]
  commands.  To check the mouse operation, move the mouse around the screen.
  NOTE:  Mouse use will not prohibit screen blanking!!

  ALMOST all of the program commands can be executed with the  mouse.  Noted
  exceptions are the hex and  text file editors, the  file view command, any
  text entry, and the [Alt-D] drop to DOS command.   All menus and file/tree
  manipulation commands may be operated with the mouse.

  The right mouse button is ALWAYS equal to the [Esc] key.   In MOST  cases,
  the left mouse button is equal to [Enter].    Mouse movement is  generally
  equal  to  the  up and down arrow keys.   Following is a  summary  of  the
  different types of mouse use you will encounter in the program.

  Command Menus:  These are the menus found on the lower area of the screen.
  To  select  a menu command,  place the mouse cursor  anywhere  within  the
  command and click the left mouse button.

  User  Menus:   These are the menu items you create to  run  programs.   To
  select a user menu,  place the mouse on the menu entry and click the  left
  mouse button.   If the selected menu contains a submenu,  select a submenu
  entry as discussed in Vertical Lists.   Use the same procedure to select a
  user menu when using the Menu commands.

  Vertical Lists:   These are the vertical lists of items you select from in
  user-defined  submenus and options such as File Sort or  File  Attributes.
  The mouse will be tied to the horizontal cursor bar in the vertical lists.
  Move the mouse up or down to move the cursor bar and click the left  mouse
  button to select the hilited entry.

  Switch Menu Lines:  This command is [F6] in the Menu Add or Change command
  for user menus.   When you use this command, the mouse cursor will be tied
  to  the  flashing star used to select a menu entry line  to  switch  with.
  Move the mouse up or down to move the star and click the left mouse button
  to accept the selection.

  Path  Selection:  This command is [F7] in Menu Add or Change  for the user
  menus and the User Database. When the directory tree appears on the screen
  the mouse cursor will be tied to the hilited directory.  Move the mouse up
  or down to move the hilite. To scroll the tree, move the mouse cursor past
  the upper or lower tree box boundary.   To select a directory path,  click
  the left mouse button.

  File and Tree:   The menu commands for file and tree operations operate as
  discussed  previously.   The mouse must be used in a different  manner  to
  manipulate  the file list and directory tree.   To move from file to  tree
  commands,  you may either click on the associated menu command, or you may
  click  once  anywhere within the box not currently in use.   To  move  the
  cursor  to a particular file or directory,  place the mouse cursor on  the
  item and click.   The cursor will move to that file or directory.   If the
  cursor  is  already  on  that file or  directory,  the  file  will  become
  tagged/untagged  and  the  directory will become the  ORIGIN.   The  outer
  vertical  boundary lines around the file list and directory tree are  used
  as  scroll lines.   To scroll the file list or directory tree,  place  the
  mouse cursor on the associated scoll line and then, while holding the left
  mouse button down,  move the mouse in the desired direction.   A click  on
  the top corner of the scroll line simulates a [Home] keypress, and a click
  on  the  lower  corner of the scroll line  simulates  an  [End]  keypress.
  Similarly,  a click on the second position of either scroll line simulates
  a [PgUp] or [PgDn] keypress.  Finally, the FILTER and SORT commands may be
  selected  by  clicking on the associated area above the file  list.   Some
  practice is necessary to become comfortable with the mouse commands.
