  ╚■{Getting to HELP screen} - You reach LaserMate400 HELP
screen by pressing [LEFT ARROW] from any Main or Selection Menu.
  ╚■{To top of HELP} - [LEFT ARROW] twice from any Main Menu. 
  ╚■{Go to Next page} - Press [N]. This is the best way to move
through the HELP file one screen at a time. Also use this to see
continuation of the subject you requested help on.  
  ╚■{Go to Previous screen} - Press [P].
  ╚■{Go to Beginning of current Help screen} - Press [B].      
  ╚■{Reduce size of current HELP screen} - Move the cursor to
any line of help text except the first 6 lines and press [LEFT
ARROW]. The HELP text line that was under the cursor will move
to the top of the Help screen. This is useful when you need to
see more of your application program screen.

  ╚■{Go to top of the HELP File} - Move the cursor to any
blank line (except the first six lines) and press [LEFT ARROW].
The last line will always be blank. This is why pressing [LEFT
ARROW] twice from any Main Menu will go to top of the HELP file.
  ╚■{Quit HELP screen} -  [RIGHT ARROW] or [ESC] or [RETURN].
  ╚■{Find text in HELP file} - Press [F]. A portion of the line
under the cursor will default into an Input Box. You can press
[RETURN] to find that text, or you can edit the Input box before
pressing [RETURN] to find any text of your choice.  See HELP on
Input Box for directions on how to use the Input Box. Since it
takes about 20 seconds to find text that is at the end of the
HELP file, you can abort the search by pressing [ESC].
  ╚■{Find text in HELP file AGAIN} - Press [A]. This allows you
to find the next occurrence of the last text found by the <F>
option.

  ╚■{Go to Index} - Press [N][I]. The key stroke [N][I] will
always take you to Index1. You can then press [N] to move
through several other index screens by pressing [N]. The HELP
system is mostly intended for you to get help from the menus.
LaserMate400's HELP system is very fast for this type of help
because it uses the indexed file LM400.IDX. However, you can
find any text in the HELP file by using the FIND. Finding text
this way is slow because the file itself is searched. Once in
one of the index screen, simply move the cursor to the item you
want to find and press [F]. An Input Box will appear with the
item displayed at the prompt. Press [RETURN] and the search will
begin. You can quit the search any time by pressing [ESC]. If
the text is found, it will be in the first line when the search
stop. To find the next occurrence, press [A]. To see the entire
screen press [B].

    As noted above, the first six lines of a HELP screen are
actually options lines.  You can see six letters in the title
line of the HELP box for the six options that can be executed
while in the HELP screens. Pressing [LEFT ARROW] or [RETURN]
while the cursor is on one of these lines will execute one of
these six options (F,B,A,N,I,P) as described below:
   ╚■ Line 1 or [F] => FIND text in HELP file. 
   ╚■ Line 2 or [B] => To BEGINNING of current HELP screen. 
   ╚■ Line 3 or [A] => Find last text searched for AGAIN.

   ╚■ Line 4 or [I] => To HELP INDEX screen. 
   ╚■ Line 6 or [P] => To PREVIOUS HELP screen.

5.0 Program Description
═══════════════════════
    LaserMate400 is a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program
that gives you complete control over your laser printer. That
means that LaserMate400 loads up into your computer memory and
stay there while you run your application program. Once
LaserMate400 is loaded, you activate it with a single key stroke
(F10). Although it is written specifically for the OKIDATA OL400
printer, it can also provide control of other Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet Series II compatible laser printers. Your laser printer
has a great deal of capability that you will never be able to
use unless you are a programmer or unless you are using an
application program that takes over control of these features. 
LaserMate400 lets to use all of your laser printer power at the
DOS prompt and while running your applications through easy to
use Popup Selection Menus and Input Boxes. A quick tutorial of
how to use LaserMate400 Follows:  
                                         (MORE press[N])

6.0 How to run LaserMate400.
═══════════════════════════
    To load LaserMate400 as a TSR popup program, you must  
include a parameter (r = any character) on
the command line when you load the program as below:

                         LM400 /r

To run LaserMate400 as a NON-TSR program enter:

                         LM400
          
Loading LaserMate400 as a NON-TSR is useful when used with
application programs that allow temporary exit to DOS or when
you just want to simply set up the printer for an application
that is too large to have LaserMate400 in memory while it runs
or one that will not require any adjustment to the printer
settings after the application is running.

    LaserMate400 is made up of three Popup Main Menus, many
Popup Selection Menus and many Popup Input Boxes.  All menus and
boxes give good clues on what you need to do to make your laser
printer respond. Moving around the Menus and Boxes are simple
and natural. The following technique is common to all menus.   
 ╚■{Activate LaserMate400 Main Menu 1} - Press the hot key. The
default F10. However you can change this to avoid conflict with
your applications. The changed hot key can be saved in a Setting
File along with all other LaserMate400 settings to be load
later. This keeps you from having to remember the different
printer setup for all of your applications.  
 ╚■{Go from a Main Menu to a different Main Menu} - Press
[RIGHT ARROW] or press [.] or press [RETURN] while the cursor is
on the last line in the menu.

help files are expected to be in the same directory. You may

say that you can have one set of path names for word processing
and a different one for spreadsheets. LaserMate400 expect to
find LM400.HLP and LM400.IDX in the Help Path Name directory. It
expect to find the actual program LM400.EXE in the Program Path
Name directory. It expect to find the Settings files in the

    Note that you can change all of this. The default paths
automatically show in various Input Boxes for ease of direct
selection from the Directory Box. However font files, and
settings files can be in any directory -- this would simply mean
that you would have to enter the entire path name as you ask
LaserMate400 to work on font files and settings files.
LaserMate400 comes with some required files and example files.
LM400.HLP and LM400.IDX should be in the default HELP directory.
LM400.FNT should be in the default FONTS directory. LM400.SET
should be in the default SETTINGS directory. While LaserMate400
will function without these files, they help LaserMate400 locate
the default directories. It is also helpful but not necessary
if you put the default files in the "PATH" line of your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. LaserMate400 come with example font and
settings files end with {.FNT} and {.SET} for learning only.
