│ Adding other documents to your program - AOD │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘

You can add other documents to your program.  The first step is that the
document needs to be in ASCII format or DOS text format.  Make sure that the
document is in the same directory as the USCONS.EXE file.  Rename the file
from what is was called to have a .CUS extension.  Use DOS's REN command to
do this.  Type (REN filename.ext filename.CUS) where filename.ext is the old
data file name.  Leave the program name the same just change the extension
to CUS.  Once the file has been renamed then start the program (USCONS).
Once the program has started press F3 then type the name of the document.
See the file called SAMPLE.CUS for a example.  You can also use the mouse to
select [File] then [Open file  F3] then click once on the file and select
Open.
