Your Expert Helper [TM]

This Expert System, Your Expert Helper [TM], allows you to establish up to 
one Billion queries. Each query can have up to 20 answers.  Each answer can 
have up to fifteen thousand characters of text associated with it.  Along 
with this copious text, every single answer can have one  'GIF', 'PIC,  or 
'PCX'image attached to it also. 

As a diagnostic tool in Service Plus [TM], Your Expert Helper [TM] will give 
you a level of power and precision unknown in off-the-shelf microcomputer 
software.  When used as a scripting language, Your Expert Helper [TM] can 
reflect the subtleties and nuances of your informational processes. 

The Expert System achieves "logical sphericality"  in its ability to branch 
over, under, around, and through the queries.  Unlike the mechanistic, stair-
step logic of a traditional decision tree, this feature processes its 
relationships without any presumed priorities and, therefore, closely echoes 
the spatial relations that characterize the abstract thought processes of 
human beings.

To see this feature, please go the Main Program Menu.  Once there, enter 
selection '1' for the Master file.    On the Master File Menu, observe 
selection 'G':

                       G to GET/EDIT data--Master file  
                
As you enter 'G' for Get, you will then observe this on the bottom left:

As you enter 'E' for the Expert System, you will see:

Starting  with  the first query that you have defined in option 4,  option  8 
presents  the 20 answers associated with that query as you launch the  Expert 
System. 

If the answer you select has an associated 'Action' as per option 4, then the 
Expert System branches to that query. Otherwise, it interprets the '0' in the 
'Action' field  as a termination of the launch process.

Thereafter,   this   option  performs  its  processing  by  relying  on   the 
relationships  you  have defined between 'Answers'  and  'Actions'.  In  each 
answer, you can enter the following information into the Edit screen:

             Description:        Picture:     Memo:     Action:  

'Description' is the 50 character descriptive text that appears with its 
associated answer.

'Picture', if used, is the 10 character title of the image associated with 
this answer.  Each answer can have one unique image associated with it.

'Memo' is the free-form text you could enter into each answer.  If so 
selected, each memo can have up to 15,000 characters of text.   To signify 
that you wish memo to be associated with that answer, include '*' in the 
'Memo' field. 

Finally, 'Action' is that Query where you wish the answer to branch if 
selected.  If you leave 'Action' blank, then once you select that answer, the 
program will terminate its launch.

Selection 6, if used allows you to edit the Truth Table. This selection gives 
you a light-bar display of the 400 'truths' you define, if used, in the truth 
table.   It appears in this order:

       "Truth                      Query                       Answer"

As you traverse the Expert System in option 8,  the program is keeping track 
of all your Query-Answer combinations in the History file,  as per option 9. 
Within one second of sensing a match between the History file and the Truth 
Table, the Expert System invokes additional logic specific to the congruence 
of these two files.
