--------------------------------------Drawer Screen-----------------------------------------

The Active Drawer

When you first enter the system, drawer 1 is the active drawer.  The active
drawer is indicated by a reverse drawer label (white text on a blue
background) and an "-Open-" label at the bottom of the drawer.

Selecting Drawers

Movement is a matter of locating yourself using the arrow cursor and
clicking the left mouse button to activate a drawer.  There are other ways
to move from drawer to drawer, execute tasks and make drawers active.

Using The Keyboard

One way of movement can be found in using the keyboard. The arrow keys on
your keyboard will move you in the direction indicated on the key. If you
press the right arrow you will move from drawer to drawer going right. The
left arrow key will go the opposite direction and up and down arrows as
indicated by the key.

Using The Drawer Selection Box

You may also effect a direct move using the selection box in the upper left
hand corner of the screen that displays the currently active drawer. Use
your mouse to point and click on the arrow next to the drawer name in the
combo box display.  This will activate the list of all drawers and
selecting one from the list will make that drawer active.

-FILE MENU

.Creating a Floppy Drawer

If it is the first time you are using a floppy as a drawer, Golden
RETRIEVER will format the floppy as a floppy drawer index disk to be used
as such. Once the disk is formatted and indexed as a floppy drawer, you may
add or delete folders and documents just like your standard drawer and
folder system.

When accessing the floppy drawer Golden RETRIEVER checks it to see if it is
already a floppy drawer and simply puts it into operation displaying the
folders immediately after selection. If it's a new floppy, it will be
formatted for use as a new floppy drawer.

.Fetch (Search)

Fetching for files may become necessary from time to time or you may want
to use the Fetch function to pull specific files from different locations
within the file system based on certain information you have entered into
the file records.

You may use any or all of the File Record categories for fetch criteria as
well as system categories such as time and date.

.Import

Each File Record for imported files contains only the pertinent operating
information such as the program it belongs to, DOS location and DOS name
and extension. If you are operating with DOS Off, you will see only the
program name displayed upon opening an imported File Record.

As soon as these imported files are created in Golden RETRIEVER you can
open the individual File Records for each and assign a more appropriate
long name. If the eight character DOS name is not enough for you to
remember what's in the file or what it's about, you will have to launch
it and then name it.

.Print

You may find the need, from time to time, to get a printed copy of elements
within your file system. To do this, activate the Print command from the
Drawer or Folder screen.

If Print is accessed from the File List, File Record, or Fetch Results
screen, the selected document/file will be opened in its application
and printed.

.Drawer Paint

Use your mouse to move to the control panel that contains the buttons.
Press the Drawer Paint. You will see that drawer 1 changes color. Press the
Drawer Paint button again and you will change the drawer to a different
color. Continue until you have the desired color. There are 32 available
colors and each click on the Drawer Paint button will change it to a
different color until you reach the last color, at which point you will
start over again at the color you started with. You may also use the
drop-down menu and select a specific color from the list that will be
displayed.

.Exit

Use the Exit command to exit Golden RETRIEVER and return to Program
Manager.

-EDIT MENU

.Label

To label a drawer, make the drawer you wish to label active. Once the
drawer is active, press the Label button in the control panel. A window

by the installation program.

The Setup command activates the Setup Control Window in which you may
create, delete or edit Setup Records for all programs you use with Golden
RETRIEVER.

.Auto Setup / Build

During the installation of Golden RETRIEVER the Auto Setup was run to
determine what programs you use and then it created Setup Records to
make them compatible with Golden RETRIEVER This process can be run at
any time and you may find the need to do so especially if you have
installed programs you want to use with Golden RETRIEVER after Golden
RETRIEVER was installed.

Use the Auto Setup / Build Command to start the process. This process
may take some time depending on the speed of your machine.

.Viewer Setup

Viewer Setup allows you to specify an .EXE file that will provide viewing
functions in Golden RETRIEVER.

.Uninstall Golden RETRIEVER

The Uninstall command will remove Golden RETRIEVER and its associated
files from your system. The removal of Golden RETRIEVER will be
permanent and will result in the loss of all extended character
filename locations. So therefore, only Uninstall Golden RETRIEVER if
you feel you will not use it again.  If you are upgrading to a newer
release, do not Uninstall the old release, simply run the Install
program, and specify the existing Golden RETRIEVER directory as the
destination.

.Preferences

The Preferences field allows you to change the following:
   DOS On -
        Specifies if DOS information is displayed in Golden RETRIEVER
        import and file information screens.
   Minimize on Launch -
        If checked, Golden RETRIEVER will minimize to an icon when a

-DESK MENU

.Accessing the Desk Items (Desk Main)

The Desk function allows you to launch any application with ease. Once the
Desk is activated, the screen will display a variety of buttons for various
desktop items as well as a number of other custom buttons that are present
in your Program Manager groups.

HELP1
------------------------------------File Folder Screen------------------------------------

Folder Movement

At the bottom of the file folders you will see a control panel except that
there are only two buttons. The two buttons are labeled with an arrow and
a picture of a folder. You can use these buttons to move through the
various folders one at a time. You can get the same movement result using
your keyboard by pressing one of the arrow keys (left or right).

Using the Keyboard Letter keys to Locate

You can use the keyboard to move very quickly to a specific group of
folders. Press a letter key and you will be moved to the three closest
matching folders. For example, if you pressed the M key, you would move
to the first folder starting with M. This way you can move from A to Z
or Z to A in one keystroke.

Using The Folder Combo Box

You may effect a direct move using the combo box in the upper left hand
corner of the screen that displays the currently active folder. Use your
mouse to point and click on the arrow next to the folder name in the
combo box display. This will activate the list of all folders and
selecting one from the list will make that folder the active folder.

Status Panel

You can tell if there are more folders than those that are displayed
(more than three folders) by looking at the status window to the left
of the arrow buttons. This window will display exactly how many
additional folders are in the drawer you're in as well as the name and
color code of the drawer.

-FILE MENU

.Adding New Folders (New)

One big difference between the drawer and the folder structure is that
you can add as many folders as you want. Adding a new folder is much
like labeling an old one. Golden RETRIEVER does most of the work. One
important note about adding folders should be taken. The folder screen
displays only three folders at a time regardless of how many you have
created. The system displays the folders in alphabetical order three at
a time.

Adding a folder uses the same procedure as labeling. The difference is,
you don't have to worry about making anything active. Just press the New
button in the control panel. Once you press this button you will see a
screen where you will type in the new name.

.Creating a Floppy Drawer

If it is the first time you are using a floppy as a drawer, Golden
RETRIEVER will format the floppy as a floppy drawer index disk to be used
as such. Once the disk is formatted and indexed as a floppy drawer, you
may add or delete folders and documents just like your standard drawer
and folder system.

.Fetch (Search)

Fetching for files may become necessary from time to time or you may want
to use the Fetch function to pull specific files from different locations
within the file system based on certain information you have entered into
the file records.

You may use any or all of the File Record categories for fetch criteria as
well as system categories such as time and date.

.Import

Each File Record for imported files contains only the pertinent operating
information such as the program it belongs to, DOS location and DOS name
and extension. If you are operating with DOS Off, you will see only the
program name displayed upon opening an imported File Record.

As soon as these imported files are created in Golden RETRIEVER you can
open the individual File Records for each and assign a more appropriate
long name. If the eight character DOS name is not enough for you to
remember what's in the file or what it's about, you will have to launch
it and then name it.

.Print

You may find the need, from time to time, to get a printed copy of elements
within your file system. To do this, activate the Print command from the
Drawer or Folder screen.

If Print is accessed from the File List, File Record, or Fetch Results
screen, the selected document/file will be opened in its application
and printed.

.Exit

Use the Exit command to go back to the Drawer Screen.


-EDIT MENU

.Labeling Folders (Label)

To label a folder, make the folder you wish to label active by pointing
to it and clicking the left mouse button. Once a folder is active, press
the Label button in the control panel. As soon as you do this, a window
will pop up on the screen where you will enter the new name.

.Move and Copy

In your control panel for the file folders you will see both a Move and
a Copy button. These buttons will activate the function. You can also
move folders to floppy disks.

To move or copy a folder, activate a specific folder and press the Move
or Copy button or use the drop-down menu to select either move or copy.
You will be given a Destination selection screen in which you will
indicate the new drawer location for the folder and all of its contents.

Copying a folder to a floppy drawer will copy the folder, all of its
contents (File Records) and all of the DOS files. In the case of a
copy, all of the information will merely be duplicated on the floppy.
In the case of a move, the information will physically be moved to the
floppy and erased from the hard disk.

.Deleting a Folder (Delete)

To delete a folder, make it active and press the Delete button in the
control panel or select Delete from the drop-down menu. A confirmation
box will appear in which you will confirm deletion information. This is
to prevent erroneous deletion.

Remember that deleting a folder deletes all of the contents of the folder
and should be thought through carefully before executing. If you only
want to rename the folder use the Label function instead of deleting the
folder. Deleting folders has serious ramifications in reference to the
attached documents and files.

.Shred

Shred is similar to Delete, however the deletion will remove the files
from the appropriate path / drive and in addition make them
unrecoverable with an undelete utility.

-SYSTEM MENU

HELP2
--------------------------------------File List Screen--------------------------------------

The File List, which is displayed after opening a folder,
displays the contents of the given folder in a list box
containing all of the long file names. You may scroll
through the list to select any specific file. The list
can be much larger than the box that appears on the
screen. Use the scrolling tools at the right of the list
box to access the extended portions of the list. As is
the case of with all list boxes, the scrolling tools will
not appear until the list extends beyond the display
area.

Moving Through The Individual Files

To move through the File List, one listing at a time you
can use your mouse, clicking on the arrows (up or down)
located at either end of the scroll bar indicator. You
may also use the up and down arrows on your keyboard.
Each arrow, either scroll bar or keyboard will move you,
up or down, one File List entry in the direction of the
arrow. If you reach the end of a page, in either direction,
you will move to the next selection on the next page of
listings.

Moving Pages of The File List

You may move through many files at a time by moving by
pages of listings instead of one file at a time. You can
do this by clicking in the scroll bar area between the
two arrows. The scroll bar indicator indicates where you
are in relation to the entire list of files. Clicking
above the indicator will move you towards the beginning
of the list while clicking below the indicator will move
you towards the end of the list.

Using the Keyboard

You may also use your keyboard to effect the same results
as the scrolling tools by using the arrow keys as
described earlier and the Page Up and Page Down keys.
The Page Up will move you one page towards the beginning
of the list while the Page Down will move you one page
towards the end of the list.

File Selection

Selection of listings from the File List is done by
either moving the scroll bar to the listing you want
and highlighting it or by using the "Point & Shoot"
method. You also have the ability to select a group
of files.

Individual File Selection

Selecting an individual file from the File List requires
that you highlight the file by pointing to it in the list
and then doing a left mouse click. You may also use the
arrow keys to move the scroll bar to the file you want to
highlight.

Multiple File Selection

To select multiple files, select a file with your mouse
and while holding the left mouse button, drag the mouse
down the list. The selection of multiple files must be
contiguous.You may do the same type of multiple
selection with the keyboard by pressing the down or up
 arrow key while holding down the shift key.

To select a non-contiguous set of files, click on the first
file while holding down the CTRL key, then click on each
file that you wish to add.  The CTRL key must be held
down during the selection.  You can unselect files by
clicking on them again.

Any action(s) implemented while multiple files are
selected will apply to all with the exception of the
launching a document, or opening File Information.
Dealing with File Records at the list level will become
 the most effective way to manage them once you start
 building up information. Firstly, because you can see
all of the folder's document contents and secondly,
because you can utilize multiple selection of files and
 group action.

CHECKBOXES

Minimize on Launch

If checked, Golden RETRIEVER will minimize to an
icon when a document is launched.

Save As/Open Intercept

If checked, Golden RETRIEVER will intercept the
OPEN and SAVE AS commands of any Windows
application, allowing for smooth integration with
existing applications.

Version Control

If checked, Golden RETRIEVER will tag the current
document to use Version Control whenever it is
launched.  Version Control allows you to refer to an
older version of a document, before changes were made.
The file in the file list will contain the words <VERSION>
and the appropriate date.

Display Time Stamp

When checked off, all files in the file lists will have
the date of the file listed.

FILE MENU

Adding File Records (New)

Adding files to the system, outside of the Import
function, always starts at the File List, although you
may also use the Import feature in the File List.

To add a new File Record, press the New button located in
the control panel at the bottom of the File List screen.
Once pressed, the system will generate and locate you in
a new File Record in which you may start entering
information about the new file.

Launching a File and its Program (Launch)

You may launch files from either the individual File
Record or directly from the File List. Activating from
the File List is much faster as you don't have to
display the File Record. To do so, double-click on the
file name or press the Launch key. If you don't need
to see the File Record, this is the best way to launch
files. Hopefully, your long document names will prove
informative enough to indicate what's in the specific
files in the File List.

Viewing Files Without Launching (View)

The View button allows you to look at files without
opening the associated program. In Windows this is not
very useful as most Windows program files use special
formats and the viewer in the File Manager displays the
file in ASCII format. You may find this feature useful in
seeing just enough understandable data in the file to
know what it is.

To use the feature, highlight the file you wish to view
and press the View button. The File Manager viewer will
appear and the selected file will be loaded.

File Info / Rename

Highlight the File Record you want to open in the File
List. Using the mouse, open the file record by pressing
the File Info button found in the control panel at the
top of the File List screen.

Creating a Floppy Drawer

If it is the first time you are using a floppy as a drawer,
Golden RETRIEVER will format the floppy as a floppy drawer
index disk to be used as such. Once the disk is formatted and
indexed as a floppy drawer, you may add or delete folders and
documents just like your standard drawer and folder system.

Fetch (Search)

Fetching for files may become necessary from time to time or
you may want to use the Fetch function to pull specific files
from different locations within the file system based on
certain information you have entered into the file records.

You may use any or all of the File Record categories for fetch
criteria as well as system categories such as time and date.

Importing Your Existing Files (Import)

Each File Record for imported files contains only the
pertinent operating information such as the program it
belongs to, DOS location and DOS name and extension. If
you are operating with DOS Off, you will see only the
program name displayed upon opening an imported File
Record.

As soon as these imported files are created in Golden
RETRIEVER you can open the individual File Records for
each and assign a more appropriate long name. If the
eight character DOS name is not enough for you to
remember what's in the file or what it's about, you will
have to launch it and then name it.

.Print

You may find the need, from time to time, to get a
printed copy of the documents or files in your
file system. To do this, simpley activate the Print
command from the File List, File Record, or Fetch
Results screen.  If the Print command is selected
from the Drawer or Folder screen, you will be
placed in the Print Report screen.

To activate the Print function from the File List, use
your mouse to select the file(s) you wish to print. If
you are selecting multiple files, make sure that they are
from the same application. Once selected, press the Print
 button. The application attached to the document / data
files will be opened and the document(s) / file(s) will be
printed.

You can also FAX from the desktop by changing the
default printer in the Window Control Panel to the
appropriate FAX Printer Driver.

Exit

Use the Exit command to go back to the Folder screen.

EDIT MENU

Copy or Move Individual Files (Copy, Move)

To copy or a move an individual file from the File List,
make the file(s) you want to move or copy active by using
your mouse to highlight it. Once it is highlighted, go to
the control panel at the bottom of the screen and press
the Move or Copy button, depending on which action you
want. This will activate the function and then you will
be asked to define how you would like the file either
moved or copied as well as where you would like the file
or copy of the file to be placed.

Deleting a File Record (Delete)

To delete a File Record, make one of the File List
entries active or select a group and press the Delete
button in the control panel. A warning message will
ask you if you are sure along with options for the
deletion. Press the OK button and the deletion will be
completed.

There are some problems with deleting File Records and
not deleting the associated DOS files. If you do delete
the actual document files in DOS, they're gone for good.
If you don't delete them, and you want to access them or
delete them at a later date, they will be unreferenced in
Golden RETRIEVER You will also be dependent on the eight
character file name in DOS when trying to locate and/or
load the file. So, what do you do.

We recommend that you don't delete physical files from
DOS until you are thoroughly familiar with the system.
Once you are, you should use Golden RETRIEVER just like
you would the Windows File Manager or DOS command line
and delete DOS files when you delete File Records in
Golden RETRIEVER You may want to do all of your deletions
in the Golden RETRIEVER File Manager which would
delete both automatically.

Shred

Shred is similar to Delete, however the deletion will
remove the files from the appropriate path / drive and
in addition make them unrecoverable with an undelete
utility.

Version Control

If checked, Golden RETRIEVER will tag the current
document to use Version Control whenever it is
launched.  Version Control allows you to refer to an
older version of a document, before changes were made.

HELP3
-----------------------------Copy/Move Destination--------------------------

When the Parameters for the move or copy have been confirmed, the
Destination screen will appear and display the possible locations for the
File Record or copy.

Selecting a Destination

When the Destination screen pops up you will see a list of the existing
drawers. To the right of the drawer list is a list of folders which should
be blank when copying or moving folders. By selecting a drawer from the
drawer list, you will display the folders in that drawer in the folder
list.

Doing The Copy/Move (OK, Do Copy/Move)

Select the destination you want to copy or move to and press the OK button.
The move or copy will be completed and you will be returned to the folders
were you were when you started the process.

Copy/Move to a New Folder (New, Add Folder)

You may copy or move to a new folder using the commands available in the
Destination window. To create the new folder to copy or move to use the
New command and enter the new folder name in the space provided. After the
folder has been added to the system, select it and continue with the
copy/move procedure.

Deleting a Folder (Delete/Delete Folder)

Use the Delete command to delete a folder from a drawer while in the
Destination window. Once the deletion is confirmed, the folder window will
be updated to reflect the changes.

Copy/Move to a Floppy Drawer (Go To Floppy Drawer)

Copying a folder to a floppy drawer will copy the folder, all of its
contents (File Records) and all of the associated DOS files. In the case of
a copy, all of the information will merely be duplicated on the floppy. In
the case of a move, the information will physically be moved to the floppy
and erased from the hard disk.

When the Destination screen appears, insert a floppy diskette in the
target floppy drive and select the target floppy drawer from the drawer
list (A:\ or B:\). The folder list will display any folders that
currently reside on the floppy. If the diskette is empty, the folder list
will display the default folders "FOLDER 1", "FOLDER 2" and "FOLDER 3".
Select one of the folders or add a new one and then select it. Press the
OK button when you are ready to start the move or copy.

Exiting The Window (Exit)

To exit from the window use the Camcel command or press the Exit button
from the control panel.

HELP4
--------------------------------------------File Records-------------------------------------------

The File Record is basically a "cover sheet" that you
create that details a document like a word processing
or spreadsheet file. There will be a File Record for
every document or file you add or create with Golden
RETRIEVER The File Record contains information about
the document's name (up to 255 characters), subject,
author, recipient, status and creation and update dates
and times. In addition you have the ability to enter
notes and comments on each document or file.

Golden RETRIEVER also records hard disk locations and
other DOS information such as the program parameters and
DOS storage instructions which will be displayed only
when requested. Golden RETRIEVER takes care of all the
DOS and technical tasks "under the hood" allowing you to
deal with the simple topic and subject information for
each document or file.

Adding a File Record

The File Record is a form that you fill out with
information about the document you are going to create or
add to the system. All you have to do is type in the
information in the edit fields provided on the File
Record. All of the edit fields are labeled with a
category to the left of the edit field. To create a new
file, press the New button from the File List screen.
This will activate the File Record screen and set you
up to create a new record. Once you are in the File
Record, take a look at all of the fields and get familiar
with the layout and the information you will be entering
and using. You may find that you don't want to use all of
the categories and that's fine. There are only two fields
you MUST fill out (called "Mandatory Fields"), the Long
Name and the Program Name.

Data Entry

The information that you put into the File Record form
is important for two reasons. Firstly, all of the
information should be as concise and informative as
possible so that it can reflect the document's content
without opening it. Secondly, you can use the Fetch
function to track and locate files by this information.

Entering the information is simply a matter of typing in
an active edit field. An edit field can be made active
by clicking on it with the mouse. The arrow cursor will
turn to a text cursor when you are in the vicinity of any
specific edit field. When you first enter the File Record,
the first field will already be active.

After typing in your information, press the ENTER or TAB
key to move to the next field and the field will be made
active automatically. You may also use the mouse as
described earlier. We assume that since you are using the
keyboard during File Record entry, the ENTER or TAB keys
will be more convenient for confirming the typed entries
and moving through the fields. If you want to skip a
field, you will have to use your mouse to make the new
field active or you may use the TAB key to move to the
field.

Confirming Your Entries

Use your keyboard to type in the information in each
field and press TAB when completed. After pressing
TAB key you will automatically be passed to the next
field.

Lists

Within Golden RETRIEVER is a utility that keeps track
of field entries and organizes them into lists by
category for use later. The system uses the lists in two
ways. Firstly, to make sure you don't make any typing
errors, and secondly, displays the list for you for any
given entry so that you may select an entry for an edit
field without typing the whole entry. If the "Check List"
box is checked the system will look at the list for each
entry. If not checked, the entry will be added to the
list automatically.

Check Lists "On"

The lists operate on the basis that a new, incorrect, or
incomplete entry is not to be accepted in the edit field
without a confirmation from the system which comes in the
form of a list of choices (those already added). You must
either add the entry to the list as a new entry or select
an existing entry from the list. If you type an entry in
the edit field that exists in the list and it is typed
correctly, the system does not bring up the list and
accepts the typed entry as a proper entry moving you to
the next edit field. The process of checking the typed
entry takes place at the point at which you attempt to
confirm the entry by pressing the ENTER key.

Adding A New Entry

Press the New button and the entry will be added to the
list. Select it with your mouse and then press the OK
button or double-click on the new item in the list. When
you return to the record, the new entry will be in the
field and your cursor will positioned on the next entry
field. There are lists for Program, Subject, Author,
Recipient and Status.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Program list can only be edited via
the Setup function

Mandatory Entry Fields

The first two fields of the File Record are called
"Mandatory Entry Fields" because the system requires this
information in order to properly create, track and access
documents and files. If you are using Golden RETRIEVER
records as database of records with no attached DOS
program files, such as a contact manager, you may omit
the program name.

Full Name

The full name is the replacement for the eight character
DOS name that will appear in the File List and is the
main point of reference for a document. You may use up
to 255 characters including full punctuation. You may
type beyond the display area in the edit field and use
the right and left arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll
horizontally through the entry.

Program

The Program field will contain the name of the application
that will be used to create the file. There is a pre-
built list of the applications available that will appear
if  you press any character key and the ENTER key. (You
cannot add to the program list except within the Setup
function). If you are using Golden RETRIEVER for
records that have no application to launch, this field is
not mandatory.

Once a Application is selected Golden RETRIEVER completes
a number of other tasks that you won't see but you should
know about. Firstly, by checking the Setup Record for the
selected program, Golden RETRIEVER gets the information
it needs to have to create, launch and track the document
in DOS. The file directory, DOS file name (which is
automatically generated), and the file extension are
encoded in the File Record. You can see this information
by pressing the DOS On/Off button which will display the
hidden DOS information.

Fields With System  Lists

Topic

The Topic field is an optional field that you may fill
out and use as you like. There is a list attached that
contains all of the Subjects you have used to date.

Author

The Author field is an optional field that you may fill
out and use as you like. There is a list attached that
contains all of the Authors you have used to date.

Receiver

The Receiver field is an optional field that you may
fill out and use as you like. There is a list attached
that contains all of the Receivers you have used to
date.

Status

The Status field is an optional field that you may fill
out and use as you like. There is a list attached that
contains all of the Status listings you have used to
date.

Free Form Fields

Free form entry fields are fields in which you may type
anything you want and the entry is unique with no system
check for error or list selection. This means you can
attach notes, comments, codes or any other information
you want. The information is entered in page form
meaning that you can continue typing beyond the display
area.

Notes

This field is free form and you may type beyond the
display area. If you have comments that go beyond the
display area, you may access the text using the arrow
keys on your keyboard and scroll through the entire
entry.

System  Fields

Certain areas of Golden RETRIEVER are controlled by the
system and you cannot edit, change or update the
information as it is a function of the program or DOS.
The reason for this is to always record and reflect
accurate information about your documents and files.

Created

The Created field is an automatically generated field
that records the creation date of the record in DOS. You
may not edit this field but you may use it as a fetch
parameter (see "Fetch"). The date reflected will not
change once it is in the Golden RETRIEVER system. If
the files were imported, the date will reflect the DOS
file date stamp at the time it was added to Golden
RETRIEVER

Last Updated

The Last Updated field is an automatically generated
field that records the last date of edit or change of
the document. You may not edit this field but you may
use it as a fetch parameter. Each time you edit the
document, the Last Updated field will be updated to the
current system date. If there is no save or no change of
the document, the Last Updated field will not change.
The Last Updated field reflects the DOS file date stamp.

FILE MENU

Launching Your Files and Their Programs (Launch)

The last step in creating a File Record is creating the
actual document in the given program like Excel. When
you've entered the information you want in the File
Record, press the Launch button. The next thing you
should see is the first screen of the program named in
the program field of the File Record and a document for
that program already loaded without having typed or
executing any other commands like Open, or New. If this
doesn't happen you may need to check your setup
information. If you receive an error stating that the
file does not exist, you probably need a Master File.

  While In Your Program

  Once you have launched a program and loaded a document,
  you may work in the program the way you normally would.
  Create or edit the document and then save it using a
  normal save command. Golden RETRIEVER has passed a DOS
  name, which is an eight digit number followed by the
  program's extension standard, and will take care of the
  DOS storage information. Confirm what is displayed for
  file directory, DOS file name and any other naming or
  storage conventions.

  Never use a program's save as command unless Save
  As/Open Intercept is active.

  Return To Golden RETRIEVER

  To return to Golden RETRIEVER just exit your program as
  you normally would and you will automatically return to
  the point at which you left Golden RETRIEVER in the File
  Record. Once you have added a file to the system it will
  appear in the File List.

Viewing Files Without Launching (View)

The View button allows you to look at files without
opening the associated program. In Windows this is not
very useful as most Windows program files use special
formats and the viewer in the File Manager displays the
file in ASCII format. You may find this feature useful in
seeing just enough understandable data in the file to
know what it is.

To use the feature, highlight the file you wish to view
and press the View button. The File Manager viewer will
appear and the selected file will be loaded. Press the
Cancel button when through and you will return to the
point at which you left the File Manager.

Saving Your Files (Save)

When you have finished entering all of the information
you want you can save your record by pressing the Save
button. If you try to exit the File Record without
pressing the Save button you will receive a warning
telling you that you have not yet saved the record and
you will be given the opportunity to save it at this
time by pressing the OK button. This applies to any
record you may have changed or edited as well.

Creating a Floppy Drawer

If it is the first time you are using a floppy as a drawer,
Golden RETRIEVER will format the floppy as a floppy drawer
index disk to be used as such. Once the disk is formatted and
indexed as a floppy drawer, you may add or delete folders and
documents just like your standard drawer and folder system.

Fetch (Search)

Fetching for files may become necessary from time to time or
you may want to use the Fetch function to pull specific files
from different locations within the file system based on
certain information you have entered into the file records.

You may use any or all of the File Record categories for fetch
criteria as well as system categories such as time and date.

Printing File Records (Print)

You may find the need, from time to time, to get a
printed copy of the documents or files in your
file system. To do this, simpley activate the Print
command from the File List, File Record, or Fetch
Results screen.  If the Print command is selected
from the Drawer or Folder screen, you will be
placed in the Print Report screen.

To activate the Print function from the File List, use
your mouse to select the file(s) you wish to print. If
you are selecting multiple files, make sure that they are
from the same application. Once selected, press the Print
 button. The application attached to the document / data
files will be opened and the document(s) / file(s) will be
printed.

You can also FAX from the desktop by changing the
default printer in the Window Control Panel to the
appropriate FAX Printer Driver.

Exiting The Window (Exit)

To exit from the window use the Exit command or press
the Exit button from the control panel.

EDIT MENU

Copy or Move Individual Files (Copy, Move)

To copy or a move an individual file from the File Record,
go to the control panel at the topof the screen and press
the Move or Copy button, depending on which action you
want. This will activate the function and then you will
be asked to define how you would like the file either
moved or copied as well as where you would like the file
or copy of the file to be placed.

Deleting a File Record (Delete)

To delete a File Record, press the Delete button in
 the control panel. A warning message will ask you
 if you are sure along with options for the deletion.
 Press the OK button and the deletion will be
completed.

There are some problems with deleting File Records and
not deleting the associated DOS files. If you do delete
the actual document files in DOS, they're gone for good.
If you don't delete them, and you want to access them or
delete them at a later date, they will be unreferenced in
Golden RETRIEVER You will also be dependent on the eight
character file name in DOS when trying to locate and/or
load the file. So, what do you do.

We recommend that you don't delete physical files from
DOS until you are thoroughly familiar with the system.
Once you are, you should use Golden RETRIEVER just like
you would the Windows File Manager or DOS command line
and delete DOS files when you delete File Records in
Golden RETRIEVER You may want to do all of your deletions
in the Golden RETRIEVER File Manager which would
delete both automatically.

Shred

Shred is similar to Delete, however the deletion will
remove the files from the appropriate path / drive and
in addition make them unrecoverable with an undelete
utility.

Version Control

If checked, Golden RETRIEVER will tag the current
document to use Version Control whenever it is
launched.  Version Control allows you to refer to an
older version of a document, before changes were made.
The file in the file list will contain the words <VERSION>
and the appropriate date.

SYSTEM MENU

Program Setup

Golden RETRIEVER creates Setup Records for the programs you
use automatically upon installation. You may also manually
enter and create your own customized Setups as well as Setups
for programs not recognized by the installation program.

The Setup command activates the Setup Control Window in which
you may create, delete or edit Setup Records for all programs
you use with Golden RETRIEVER.

Auto Setup / Rebuild

During the installation of Golden RETRIEVER the Auto Setup
was run to determine what programs you use and then it
created Setup Records to make them compatible with
Golden RETRIEVER This process can be run at any time and
you may find the need to do so especially if you have
installed programs you want to use with Golden RETRIEVER
after Golden RETRIEVER was installed.

Use the Build Setups / Auto Setup Command to start the
process.

This process may take some time depending on the speed
of your machine.  If you have added or edited any Setup
Records manually, DO NOT RUN THE BUILD PROGRAM.
If you do, you will lose all of the custom Setup information
 you entered. If you need to change the name or path of an
application, fo it from program manager, then do a Build.
Golden RETRIEVER will obtain all the application information
from Program Manager.

List Editor

The List Editor allows you to maintain selection lists
for the Topic, Author, Receiver, & Status Fields. In
addition you can edit the filename extensions that
appear in Golden RETRIEVER.

Uninstall Golden RETRIEVER

The Uninstall command will remove Golden RETRIEVER
and its associated files from your system. The removal
of Golden RETRIEVER will be permanent and will result
in the loss of all extended character filename locations.
So therefore, only Uninstall Golden RETRIEVER if you
feel you will not use it again.  If you are upgrading to a
newer release, do not Uninstall the old release, simply
run the Install program, and specify the existing Golden
RETRIEVER directory as the destination.

Preferences

The Preferences field allows you to change the following:
    DOS On -
        Specifies if DOS information is displayed in Golden
        RETRIEVER import/file information screens.
   Minimize on Launch -
        If checked, Golden RETRIEVER will minimize to an
        icon when a document is launched.
   Save As/Open Intercept -
        If checked, Golden RETRIEVER will intercept the
        OPEN and SAVE AS commands of any Windows
        application, allowing for smooth integration with
        existing applications.
   Display Time Stamp -
       When checked off, all files in the file lists will have
       the date of the file listed.

Getting System Status (Status)

The Status command allows you to view the current
status of your hard disk in reference to structure and
free space.

DESK MENU

Accessing the Desk Items (Desk)

The Desk function allows you to launch any
application with ease. Once the Desk is activated,
the screen will display a variety of buttons for
various desktop items as well as a number of other
custom buttons that are present in your Program Manager
groups.

HELP5
----------------------------------------------Lists------------------------------------------

Within Golden RETRIEVER is a utility that keeps track of field entries and
organizes them into lists by category for use later. The system uses the
lists in two ways. Firstly, to make sure you don't make any typing errors,
and secondly, displays the list for you for any given entry so that you
may select an entry for an edit field without typing the whole entry. If
the "Check List" box is checked the system will look at the list for each
entry. If not checked, the entry will be added to the list automatically.

Check Lists "On"

The lists operate on the basis that a new, incorrect, or
incomplete entry is not to be accepted in the edit field
without a confirmation from the system which comes in the
form of a list of choices (those already added). You must
either add the entry to the list as a new entry or select
an existing entry from the list. If you type an entry in
the edit field that exists in the list and it is typed
correctly, the system does not bring up the list and
accepts the typed entry as a proper entry moving you to
the next edit field. The process of checking the typed
entry takes place at the point at which you attempt to
confirm the entry by pressing the ENTER key.

Adding A New Entry

Press the New button and the entry will be added to the
list. Select it with your mouse and then press the OK
button or double-click on the new item in the list. When
you return to the record, the new entry will be in the
field and your cursor will positioned on the next entry
field. There are lists for Program, Subject, Author,
Recipient and Status.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Program list can only be edited via
the Setup function.

HELP6
-----------------------Copy Application / Duplicate Program---------------------

Golden RETRIEVER has a unique feature that allows you
to add multiple default information for your programs
automatically. The Duplicate function automates this
process making it simple to create an additional default
information such as storage directory for a single
program. Because the system passes DOS information to
your programs for file creation, storage and retrieval,
and you can control exactly what is passed. The Duplicate
function allows you to really exploit this operation to
fit your needs.

Golden RETRIEVER passes all of the DOS information to
your program BEFORE you start using it, unlike the
program itself, which merely looks at what the current
directory is. If you want a different storage directory
or file name, you would have to use a Save As command in
order to get the desired result.

By defining DOS information prior to opening your program
and file, you can effectively "pre-default" your DOS
information for creating and saving files and use more
than one default directory without activating a different
directory. In other words, you can define a storage
directory before you open the file, that will be used
regardless of the current directory that requires no save
as command once you are in your program. There are two
ways of doing this which result in the creation of
multiple Setup Records for the same program software.

This window will display all of the file information edit
fields for the new listing and you will then create a new
program name, file storage directory and any other
different file information. This new Setup Record will be
identified by a new and unique program name that will
reflect the topic, subject or nature of the files created
when used, such as "Memos to the Staff". You can use
anything you want for the program name.

Type in the new program name, and select a directory for
file storage, like c:\wpwin\staff. Once you have filled
in the information you want, press the Save button to
save your new program listing. You may also add a master
file in the space provided. (See "Master Files").

You will now have an additional Setup Record represented
by a new program name in the list that, when used in the
File Record, will use all of the base program information
but will create and store any files in the alternate
directory. In other words, every file you create using
"Memos to the Staff" as the program name will produce a
file that is automatically stored in the c:\wpwin\staff
directory or whatever directory you listed in the Add
DIR Setup. If you attached a Master File, you will create
a blank copy of the Master File each time you create a
file. This is an excellent method for creating form
letters and other types of commonly created and specially
formatted documents.

HELP7
------------------------------------Program Setup--------------------------------------

Description

The Setup is the "brain" of Golden RETRIEVER, and is
where Golden RETRIEVER gets all of its DOS information
about your programs and files. Golden RETRIEVER keeps
track of each program's directory, the command used to
start it (called an "executable"), the storage directory
for documents or files created by the given program, the
extension used for the program's files and the name of a
Master File, which we'll explain later on. Because Golden
RETRIEVER sends information and commands to your
individual programs, modification of the information
sent, which Golden RETRIEVER allows you to do, gives you
flexibility you can't find elsewhere such as multiple
default storage directories, and multiple default
extensions.

Auto Setup / Rebuild

When first installed, Golden RETRIEVER directly communicates
with Program Manager (or the running shell) and obtains
information on each installed program.

There may be applications you have that Golden RETRIEVER
doesn't know how to work with.  These applications are
marked with Launch Only.  This means that a Master file
must be created and assigned to the program.

The Auto Setup / Build Button

The Automatic Setup can be run at anytime from the Setup
screen using the Auto Setup / Build button. For example, if you
added a program to your system after you installed Golden
RETRIEVER running the Rebuild function would add the new
program to the list of Setup Records once found, assuming
that it is a program present in Program Manager.

The Automatic Setup uses a number of defaults which you
may change once completed. For each program recognized,
the Automatic Setup process assigns a program name,
program directory, file storage directory, start command,
file launching capability and Master File name. If the
program does not create files, such as a game, there is
no file storage directory information attached and the
Launch Only? field is labeled "Yes". The file storage
directory is defaulted to the same directory as the
program directory (the directory where the setup found
the program's executable file). You may assign your own
file storage directory.

Program List

For each program you use or are planning to use with
Golden RETRIEVER you must have a Program Setup Record.

The programs are listed in the Program Setup screen in a
list box at the top of the screen. Each program is given
a name such as "WORDPERFECT FOR WINDOWS" and the DOS
information for the selected program is displayed in the
DOS setup information display at the bottom of the
screen.

Selecting and Displaying Setup Information

To display setup information for a specific program, use
your mouse and the scrollbar at the right of the
program list box to move through the list of programs.
Once highlighted, the program setup information will be
displayed for the selected program.

Program Properties

Each field in the Setup Record controls a specific aspect
of how your documents for the given program will be
handled. It is very important that these fields are setup
as you want them because Golden RETRIEVER looks at the
Setup Record everytime you create or launch a document
or file.

Program Name

The program name represents a label that you will use
within File Records to define what program you want to
use for any given document. You are not restricted to
the actual program title like "WordPerfect". You may
change it to "Word Processing" or "Letters" for instance.
The end result is that the program name defined in the
Setup Record is what will appear in the list or programs
that appears when entering a program in the File Record.

Start Command

The start command is the command you type to start the
listed program. All programs residing in Program Manager
will automatically be entered during Automatic Setup. A start
command is an .EXE, .COM, .PIF or .BAT file. You may click on
Browse to select a start command from a directory/file list.

Working Directory

The Working directory is the directory where Golden
RETRIEVER will store the files created by the given program.
You may click on Browse while in this field to select a
directory from a list.

File Type/Extension

The File Type/extension is the three character extension
used by the given program for files created by it. Most word
processing programs use a .DOC extension. You may use
whatever extension you want or no extension. Be warned
that non-standard extension may be a problem is your
program is sensitive to the file extension. If so, use
only the extension that the given program uses.

Master File

The Master File is a Golden RETRIEVER utility that
allows you to create copies of model files as new files.
ALL WINDOWS PROGRAMS REQUIRE A MASTER FILE.
This field will contain the name of a file from the
given program that Golden RETRIEVER will copy everytime
you create a new file.  You may click on Browse to help
find a Master File.

Launch Only

The launch only field refers to whether or not the given
program creates and therefore launches data files. A word
processor creates files so it not be a "Launch Only". A
game or utility on the other hand, is simply launched
and would be listed as a launch only program.

Enable Save As/Open Intercept

When checked, the selected program will interface with
Golden RETRIEVER's Save As/Open Intercept feature.  Thus
allowing long filenames and a Drawer/Folder system to be
used in exisiting Windows Applications.

Adding A New Setup Record (New)

You may add new program Setup Records to the system by
entering a program name and the DOS information yourself.
You may also add multiple setups for a single program by
creating more than one Setup Record for the given program
with different DOS parameters and a different program
name. The program name is not restricted to the actual
name or title of the software.

To add a new Setup Record, use the New command and
look at the DOS program information display. You will see
that the area has been cleared and is ready for new entry.
Start by entering a name for the program. It is important to
remember that the program name is not restricted to the
actual software's name but is merely a label that you
will use as a reference to the program Setup Record.

Copy / Duplicating Existing Programs

You may use a single program more than once as described
earlier, as an individual and unique program that uses
its own set of DOS parameters. In other words, you may
create multiple Setup Records for the same program. For
example, you may want to create four different programs
using the same word processing software; "CONTRACTS",
"LETTERS", "INVOICES" and "PROPOSALS". All of the Setup
Records would use WordPerfect but the Setup Record file
information could vary for each listing. Therefore the
start command and program directory would be the same
for all of the listings but the program name would be
different and you might have different file storage
directories. You might also attach Master Files to each
as templates.

Deleting a Setup (Delete)

If you have created a File Record that uses the
Setup Record you want to delete you may have a problem.
The File Records depend on Setup Records for information
on the file's program in order to work properly. If you
delete a Setup Record and a File Record uses the program
you have deleted, you will not be able to launch the
program or load the file.

To delete a Setup Record, highlight the one you want
deleted in the list. Use your mouse to press the Delete
button. You will be asked a number of questions. Firstly,
you will be asked if you are sure you want to delete the
Setup Record, in case you pressed the button by mistake.
Secondly, the system will check to see if you have
created any files using the given Setup Record you are
deleting. If such File Records exist, you will be asked
if you want to delete those File Records as well.
Remember, if you have File Records that use a program
that does not exist, you won't be able to access the file
with Golden RETRIEVER. You may edit the File Record later
to reflect a new program name and the file will be
accessible.

Save As/Open Setup

The Save/As Open Setup button will allow you to change
internal information that the Save As/Open Intercept
feature uses.


HELP8
-----------------------------------Start Command--------------------------------------

The start command is the command you type to start the listed program.
Most Windows program start commands are selected during Auto Setup.
A start command is an .EXE, .COM or .BAT file. If you are using
icons to start your programs and you don't know the start command,
refer to your user's manual for the given program and it should list
a start command file name. When entering the start command in the Setup,
select from the list.

HELP9

HELP10
------------------------------------Importing Files--------------------------------------

The Import Screen

Once displayed, you will see a combo box containing a
program name along with fields containing DOS
information. Using your mouse, click on the combo box
button to display the list of other programs. Once the
list is displayed, select the program you wish to import
files from. Golden RETRIEVER is going to build File
Records for all of the imported files based on the
program name selected.

NOTE: A simplified Import screen will be shown if you
have set DOS Info to Off in the preferences menu.

Import by Default

The Import function will display a number of DOS commands
and listings based on the program selected from the list.
The default settings for the import of files will be
based on the Setup Record for the given program, i.e.,
all of the files found in the listed file directory with
the listed file extension.

The directory to be checked is displayed below the
program list box along with the list of files that will
be imported.

Special Request Import

You may change the DOS import parameters by selecting
and/or inputting different information in the fields
provided. You may also change the scope of the import to
include multiple directories or you may even decide to
import individual files. The import works like a fetch
and basically looks at the information in the Import
screen and then goes to the hard disk and looks for
matches based on the directory and extension of the DOS
files.

To change the information from the default values, use
your mouse to click on the area you wish to change,
selecting a new parameter. For example, if you had used
a special file storage directory for your word processing
files that is different than what is currently listed in
the Setup Record for the given program, you would go to
the directory list box on the Import screen and select
the directory you wanted.

Once selected, you will see the files that will be
imported in the file list box to the left. The file list
box will display all of the files within the selected
directory with the selected file extension. If you wanted
to change the file extension you would simply select a
new one by typing in the "type" field or selecting from
the list of extensions.

Selecting a Destination

On the right side of the import screen is a Destination
selection box. If you have activated the Import from a
specific folder, it will display the current drawer and
folder you are in. You may select any destination for the
imported files. If you want to put the imported files
somewhere other than the drawer and folder you are in,
click on the drawer list box button to display the
drawer names. Once a drawer is selected, the folders
contained in the selected drawer will be displayed.
Select a folder from those displayed or add a new one
like "Imported WordPerfect Files" by pressing the New
button.

Adding a Folder During Import

Pressing the New button in the Import screen will
activate the Folder Creation function and display the
Folder Creation window (See "The Folders: Adding a New
Folder"). Complete the addition and then select the new
folder name when it appears in the folder list for the
given drawer.

Starting The Import

When you have the parameters set they way you want them,
the files you want to import are displayed in the file
list box and you have selected a destination, press the
Import button. The process of importing the DOS files
into Golden RETRIEVER will be started. The time to
import files varies greatly depending on volume and
hardware speed. If you are importing a lot of files it
may take some time as Golden RETRIEVER has to build File
Records for each and every document or file you are
importing.

Naming Conventions

Golden RETRIEVER has no way of knowing what's in each
file you import and therefore cannot assign definitive
long names to the files. In order to make it a little
bit easier to identify the imported files, Golden
RETRIEVER assigns each imported file a name consisting of
the original eight character DOS name and extension
followed by the program it belongs to (i.e., WordPerfect)
as well as the date it was created (the date stamp on the
DOS file).

Imported Files

Each File Record for imported files contains only the
pertinent operating information such as the program it
belongs to, DOS location and DOS name and extension. If
you are operating with DOS Off, you will see only the
program name displayed upon opening an imported File
Record.

As soon as these imported files are created in Golden
RETRIEVER you can open the individual File Records for
each and assign a more appropriate long name. If the
eight character DOS name is not enough for you to
remember what's in the file or what it's about, you will
have to launch it and then name it.

Renaming Imported Files

After importing all of your existing files into Golden
RETRIEVER you may find it easier to rename them only
when needed or accessed for the first time in Golden
RETRIEVER In other words, until you need to use or access a
file, you probably don't need to put a long name on it
yet. This is a good way of gradually converting all of
your files without having too much setup work all at once.

HELP11
--------------------------------------Fetch Results--------------------------------------

The Fetch Results screen will display automatically at
the completion of any fetch you perform. It will list
all of the files that matched the criteria from the
Fetch entry screen as well as the location of each file
by drawer and folder. The Fetch Results list operates
identically to the normal File List screen.

Reviewing the Fetch Results

You may review all of the resulting matches of a fetch
by moving through the list. You may use the scrolling bar
at the right of the list window to review documents one
at a time, or page by page, if the list should consist of
more than one page of resulting matches. Within the list
there are also titles, which are not selectable, listing
the matching document's drawer and folder location.

Accessing File Records

From the Fetch Results list you may access the
individual matching File Records in the same manner you
would in the File List within each folder. To do so,
simply highlight the File Record you want to review and
press the Open button in the control panel located at the
bottom of the list. You may also use the double -click
method or press the ENTER key on the highlighted file.
Once this is done, the File Record will be displayed just
as it would be if you had opened it from a file folder,
and you may review, edit, delete, copy, move or launch as
you normally would.

File Management In The Fetch

All of the functions that are used within the File List
to manipulate File Records are available in the Fetch
function. You may implement the specific functions in the
same manner used in the File List and File Records
accessed via the folders. Actions taken from within a
specific File Record will affect only the File Record you
are in while actions taken in the list can apply to
multiple files using the multiple select method for file
listings.

You may also use the Fetch for general housekeeping,
utilizing the copy, move and delete functions to organize
your system and files according to fetch criteria. For
example, let's say that you wanted to clear some of your
old files out of your system. You could conduct a fetch
for all documents created between 1987 and 1989 and last
updated between the same dates. When the Fetch Results
list comes up with the matches, you could simply delete
them all and they would be cleared from the system. All
in all, you should find the Fetch a very valuable tool.

Copying and Moving

To copy or move files, use your mouse to highlight the
file or files you wish to copy or move. Once selected,
use the mouse to press the appropriate button and then
select a destination, a drawer and folder, from the
Destination screen that will appear. If you are copying
a file, you will be asked whether you want to create an
exact duplicate or a new file based on the original.

Once you have responded to the requested information, the
move or copy will be completed and the files will be
updated within the folders. You can confirm the move or
copy by exiting the Fetch and looking in the new
location for the moved or copied file(s).

Deleting

You may also delete a file from the system from the
Fetch Results list, or a specific record accessed via
the Fetch Results list. This may come in very handy when
doing general maintenance and "housecleaning". For
example, you may have files from certain dates that you
want to get rid of to clear hard disk space. You could
conduct a fetch for files created before a certain date
and then delete them all from the system. The Delete
function, when instructed, will delete all of the Golden
RETRIEVER references as well as the associated DOS
documents or files from the hard disk.

Launching

To launch a document or file from the Fetch Results list
or a specific record you may have opened from the list,
press the Launch button. The document will be loaded and
the associated program started.

HELP12
--------------------------------------Date Selection--------------------------------------

The Date Selection window which consists of three list boxes from which
you can select a month, day and year to be inserted into the date fields
on the fetch screen. Highlight the date you want and press the OK button
when correct. The date selected will appear in the fetch date field.

HELP13
---------------------------------------File Manager---------------------------------------

The Golden RETRIEVER File Manager is a utility intended
to replace the Windows File Manager. Working much the
same way as the Windows File Manager and other similar
add-on file management products. The File Manager has one
very unique characteristic. It is totally integrated with
the Golden RETRIEVER drawer and folder system. This
means that any DOS file management you do will be
automatically applied to any File Records that may be
affected by the action. For example, if you moved a file
from one directory to another in the File Manager, the
system would update the File Record that references that
DOS file and change the file storage directory.

The Importance of The File Manager

This is very important in making sure that all DOS
information is consistent with that found in the File
Records. For example, if you moved a file in DOS from the
command line, you would have a File Record in Golden
RETRIEVER that is NOT updated to the change and you will
experience errors when trying to retrieve the file in
Golden RETRIEVER. It is vitally important to remember
that any DOS actions taken outside of Golden RETRIEVER
in reference to file location or directory structure
could seriously compromise your ability to use Golden
RETRIEVER effectively.

The File Manager Display

The File Manager display differs from the Windows File
Manager utility in that it provides two windows of
listings versus the standard single list display. This
is intended to give you a clearer picture of your hard
disk and its contents and to aid in the moving and
copying of files in DOS by allowing you to see both the
origin and the destination before you take action. You
may display any directory or drive in either window and
take any action from either window. In other words, you
can copy from the left window to the right window or vice
versa, or you can display the same information in both
windows.

The Lists

The File Manager displays two windows of equal size on
the left and right of the screen. Each window contains
and displays a list in which you will see all directories,
sub-directories and files contained within any single
directory or the root directory (C:\). The default
display and starting point for both windows is always the
root directory of the C drive. From this point you can
start to adjust your display and access different areas
of your hard disk.

Within the lists are all of the elements of the current
directory. To change the list in either window you need
to make it active. The active window is signified with a
title of "Origin" above the window, The non-active window
will have a title of "Destination". To switch windows and
go to the other list, simply click on the list you want
or press the TAB key. The window or list will not be made
active until a file is selected. This is to allow you to
move through directory structures while leaving the
window as a "Destination". In other words, if you wanted
to copy a file from one window to another and you needed
the destination window to display a different directory,
you could do so by clicking only on directory names only.
This feature is very helpful in moving through the
structure without affecting the status of the windows
(Origin and/or Destination).

Moving Within The Lists

To move up and down within the list, use the scrolling
tools on the right side of either window, whichever one
is active, or use the arrow keys on your keyboard. The
scroll bar indicator will tell you if there is more in
the list. Clicking on the scroll bar will move you up or
down an entire page while clicking on the up or down
arrow at either end of the scroll bar will move you one
listing in the indicated direction.

Selecting a New Drive

To change the list to display the contents of a different
drive, use your mouse to click on the desired drive in
the drive combo box located at the top of the window you
want it displayed in. Once displayed you can then roam
through the contents just as you can in any other drive
or directory. You can also access floppy drives.

Selecting Directories and Sub-Directories

To change to a different directory on the same drive,
simply double-click on it with your mouse and the contents
of the selected directory will be displayed.

Once in the directory you will see a new type of listing:
"UP TO PREVIOUS DIRECTORY". This signifies that you have
moved down through the directory structure and that you
are in a sub-directory. To return to where you started,
click on this listing and you will move back up the
structure until you reach the root directory of whatever
drive is being read.

Keyboard Operation

All of the movement can be duplicated on your keyboard as
well. Simply press ENTER instead of clicking the mouse
and use the arrow cursor keys to move in the direction
(up or down) that you want. The TAB key will allow you to
move to different areas of the File Manager screen.

Working With Files and Directories

Working with individual files and directories within the
Golden RETRIEVER File Manager is not much different than
working with files in the drawer and folder system. The
difference is that you are working on a system level and
everything is in terms of DOS using eight-character file
names and directory listings.


Important Commands

Sort

The Sort button controls how the drive and directory
contents are displayed in the windows. Once you press
the Sort button, a window will be displayed offering
the available display options for files and how you
would like them sorted. You may display files by; Name,
which displays and sorts them alphabetically, Type,
which displays the files by their type using the file
extension, Date, which displays the files from newest
to oldest or Size, which lists files by their size in
bytes. Select the method of sorting you prefer and the
list will be re-sorted. Whatever you select for the
sorting method will become the default for the system.

Move/Copy

The Move/Copy features in the File Manager differ a great
deal from that of the file folder system. The reason is
very simple. You are dealing with all of the files on the
system level, therefore origins and destinations are
defined in directories and drives and not drawers and
folders. The other important difference is that you are
physically affecting the files and their locations and
this has impact on the File Records in your folders in
reference to the DOS information for each, so you will
have to be careful.

To move or copy a file or files, select those you wish to
move or copy by highlighting them in one of the lists.
This will be your origin window or list. Activate the
other window and select the directory or sub-directory
you wish to place the file(s) or copies in and  press the
Copy or Move button.

Updating The File Records

The File Records within your drawers and folders that
reference these files are updated with each move or copy
and the DOS information is updated so you don't need to
worry about making changes but you should be aware of it.
For example, if you moved a file from directory A to
directory B, the File Record would be changed reflecting
directory B as the file directory.

Delete

Deletion of a file on the system level can be a
precarious situation. You must be very careful because a
deletion of a file that has a File Record will become
ineffective, other than as a reference to a deleted file.
Therefore, if you are going to delete a file in the File
Manager, we suggest you delete the associated File Record
as well. This is one of the steps in the File Manager
deletion procedure so you don't have to remember to do it
but you should be aware of the consequences if you don't.

Highlight the file or files that you want to delete and
press the Delete button. You will be asked if you are
sure in case you hit the button accidentally and then,
after a check of the folder system, you will be asked if
you want to delete the associated File Records.

Relabel

The Relabel feature applies to only individual files. Again, it
is important to remember that use of the Relabel feature
will affect your File Records. The system will update all File
Records based on any changes made.

Open

The Open button allows you to run executable files, To use
this feature, highlight the file you want to run and use
the command.

View

The View button allows you to look at files without
opening the associated program. In Windows this is not
very useful as most Windows program files use special
formats and the viewer in the File Manager displays the
file in ASCII format. You may find this feature useful in
seeing just enough understandable data in the file to
know what it is.

New

The New feature allows you to create a file using a line
editor. You should know how to use a line editor before
you attempt to use this feature. Depending on the version
of the product you are using and its specific setup, you
may use the Windows Write program.

To create a new file, like a batch file, press the New
button and the editor will be started.

Create Directory

This feature obviously applies only to directory
management and is pretty clear in definition. To add a
new directory, locate yourself in the area you want the
directory added. Once you are in the area in the list
that you want the directory added to, press the Create
Directory button. An edit field will appear in which you
will type the new directory name. Just type the name. Do
not type any other information such as drive, or higher
level directory names. The File Manager knows where you
are in the list and takes care of all of that for you.

Rename Directory

The Rename Directory command will allow you to rename
the directory that is currently highlighted.

Delete Directory

The Delete Directory command allows you to delete the
directory that is currently selected.  The directory
'branches' that are linked to selected directory will
also be deleted.

Format Diskette

You can Format a disk directly from the file manager.
Simply click on Format, then answer Yes, or No to
the question on which drive is to be formatted.

Status

The Status feature allows you to view the current
operating status of your system. There may be a need to
know how much hard disk space you currently have or
how many files you have, etc.

Edit

The Golden RETRIEVER editor feature is for advanced
users and is not recommended for use if you are not
familiar with the use of a line editor or the problems
that can arise from trying to read and edit formatted
application files. Use of the editor should be restricted
to batch and other ASCII files. Using this feature with
other types of files can cause serious file corruption
and other disasters!

-------------------------------DOS File Name Selection------------------------------

Select the Name you wish to use for the given edit field. You must
double-click to  activate and then use the Select command to select.

HELP16
--------------------------------------Fetch / Search--------------------------------------

The Fetch function works in much the same way as the File Record and is
basically the same screen. You may use any or all of the File Record
categories for fetch criteria as well as system categories such as time
and date.

Fetch Area

Depending on your particular setup and how you organize your files, there
may be more or less importance based on the actual area you fetch when
trying to locate or identify files. You will also find over time that the
more defined your fetch area is, the faster the operation and execution of
the fetch. For this reason you have the option of selecting a specific
area of fetch. You may also allow the system to fetch all areas ("All
Drawers") which is the system default. In other words, if no specific
fetch area is defined, the system automatically fetches all of the
drawers and folders.

Fetch Area Selection

If you want to fetch selective areas (specific drawers), takes note of
the first item that you will see in the Fetch function screen, the Fetch
Area combo box. This combo box lists the names of all the drawers in
addition to the listing "All Drawers" which is the default setting for the
Fetch function. To select a specific area of fetch use the combo box to
select the drawer you wish to conduct the fetch in.

Fields

You will find the fields in the Fetch screen identical to those found in
the File Record. So logically, you can fetch on any of the information
found in any of the File Records, as well as system controlled
information such as times and dates.

Preparing Your Fetch

Entering your criteria for fetching is just like entering information in
any other edit fields in the system. Use your mouse, moving it to the
field you wish to use to fetch on, and click on the field entry area
when the cursor turns into a text tool. Type in the information you
want to look for and then repeat the process for any other fetch
categories you wish to fetch on.

There are lists attached to all of the fields that have lists in the
File Record such as Subject, Author, Recipient, and Status.

Dates

There is a special selection screen for adding information on Created
From and To as well as Last Update From and To dates. Typing anything in
one of these fields and pressing ENTER will activate the Date Selection
window which consists of three list boxes from which you can select a
month, day and year to be inserted into the date fields on the fetch
screen.

Starting The Fetch

Once you have selected and entered all of the criteria for your fetch,
you can start the fetch for matching File Records by using your mouse
to press the Fetch button. This will start the fetch process and display
a message that the system is busy fetching as well as an hourglass
cursor. Remember, the more files you have the longer the fetch. If you
have selected to fetch in all drawers and you have a lot of files,
your fetch may take a little time depending on your hardware's speed.

DOS On/Off

The DOS On/Off feature is present in the Fetch Function in the same way
it is in the File Record. By pressing the DOS On/Off button with your
mouse you will either display or hide the DOS information display. By
default, the DOS On/Off feature is set to DOS Off.

Fetching On DOS Information

While DOS is on, you may enter any data in the DOS display fields as fetch
parameters, such as File Directory, File Name, or File Extension. For
example, you could conduct a fetch for all documents with a file
extension of .DOC and a subject of MARKETING.

Clearing The Fetch

The fetch function retains all of your fetch parameters after you have
initiated and completed each fetch so that you can return to the entry
form and edit, refine or redefine your parameters and re-fetch without
re-entering all of the information. If you do want to reset the fields of
the Fetch screen to conduct a new fetch, you must either use your mouse
to press the Clean button or you may clear the fetch by exiting the
screen and then re-entering it.

HELP17
--------------------------------The Desk Utility-----------------------------------

The Function is activated by pressing the Desk button that appears on
most of the main function screens and also from the menu structure where
available. Once activated, the screen will display a variety of buttons
for various desktop items as well as a number of other custom icons that
are present in your Program Manager groups.

To activate a program from the push-buttons located on the right, click
on them once.

To activate a program that is in a custom Desk/Group, (On the Left Side)
Select the appropriate Desk or Group, then double click on the Icon.

You may also, sort the order of Icons with the Move To Top command, Copy
Icons to other groups with the Copy command, Create New Desk Items with
the New command, and Delete Desk Items with the Delete command.

HELP18
--------------------------------The Floppy Drawer---------------------------------

Golden RETRIEVER allows you to transform your floppy diskettes into
separate drawer and folder systems. The big difference between your
regular file folders and folders on floppies is that the associated DOS
files are also included instead of just referenced or pointed to on the
hard disk. This is done so that you can move folders from on system to
another and launch documents and files just like you would on the system
of origin.

A big advantage of this feature is the ability to use it on dual
systems, moving data from one PC to another by exchanging folders just
like the manual system. It also allows you to make copies of folders for
use on laptop and other portable computers. You must, of course, have
Golden RETRIEVER installed on both machines and the program software for
each program.

Golden RETRIEVER treats your floppy system as a separate drawer or set of
drawers. Each new floppy system will be set up with its own control
center managing folders that you add to it. You may create as many
separate floppy disk drawers as you like. The process of initially
creating a floppy drawer is automatic.

Creating a Floppy Drawer

If it is the first time you are using a floppy as a drawer, Golden
RETRIEVER will format the floppy as a floppy drawer index disk to be
used as such. Once the disk is formatted and indexed as a floppy drawer,
you may add or delete folders and documents just like your standard
drawer and folder system.

When accessing the floppy drawer Golden RETRIEVER checks it to see if it
is already a floppy drawer and simply puts it into operation displaying
the folders immediately after selection. If it's a new floppy, it will
be formatted for use as a new floppy drawer as explained before.

Copying/Moving a Folder

Copying a folder to a floppy drawer will copy the folder, all of its
contents (File Records) and all of the associated DOS files. In the case
of a copy, all of the information will merely be duplicated on the floppy.
In the case of a move, the information will physically be moved to the
floppy and erased from the hard disk.

From the folders screen, highlight or select the folder you want to move
or copy and press the Move or Copy button in the control panel at the top
of the screen. When the Destination screen appears, insert a floppy
diskette in the target floppy drive and select the target floppy drawer
from the drawer list (usually A:\ or B:\). The folder list will display
any folders that currently reside on the floppy. If the diskette is
empty, the folder list will display the default folders "FOLDER 1",
"FOLDER 2" and "FOLDER 3". Select one of the folders or add a new one and
then select it. Press the OK button when you are ready to start the move
or copy.

As a Back-up System

This is an important feature because you can effectively back-up files by
content and not by directory thus eliminating the back-up of space
consuming program files that you have back-ups of already and files you
don't necessarily want. Furthermore, you are not limited by program or
file location so you can back up files from different programs at the
same time in a single action based on content. You can even do a fetch
for certain files and then back them up regardless of their directory or
the program that created them.

Copying folders to floppy diskettes is just like making a copy of
everything in a regular file folder and taking it home from the office
with you. You can even load the floppy drawer onto another computer with
Golden RETRIEVER and treat the contents just like they are part of the
second system!

The only limitation is that you cannot create New documents or data files
from within a floppy drawer.  To work around this, you can create the New
document or data file on a Drawer/Folder which resides on a hard disk,
then simply Move the new files to the Floppy Drawer.

HELP19
----------------------------------------Drawer Label----------------------------------------

This window contains three buttons; OK, Help, and Cancel as well as an
edit field where you will type in the new drawer label. Once you have
typed in a new name like "CLIENTS" press the OK button. The Drawer
Label window will  be cleared and the drawer will reflect the change.
If you change your mind, press the Cancel key. The process will be
aborted and no changes will be made.

HELP20
---------------------------------------Folder Label----------------------------------------

This window contains three buttons; OK, Help, and Cancel as well as an

typed in a new name like "ABC COMPANY", press the OK button and the
Folder Label window is cleared and the folders will reflect your
changes.

HELP21
------------------------------------New Folder------------------------------------

Type in the new folder name and press the OK button. When you return to the
folders you will see that the new folder has been added and labeled as
requested. If the new folder doesn't appear, try using the two folder
movement buttons at the bottom of the folder. Golden RETRIEVER
automatically alphabetizes your folders, and if your new folder was not
alphabetically within the first three it will not be displayed.

HELP22
------------------------------------Copy Parameters------------------------------------

When copying a document or file you have a choice of creating an exact
duplicate of the original or you may use the original as a model or
template for the creation of a new document or file. In other words, you
can copy a document or file to a new name both in Golden RETRIEVER and in
DOS. This is a nice feature for creating commonly formatted documents like
form letters, proposals, contracts, etc.

When the copy is activated, a message will appear asking if you want to
create a new name for the copy. If you want a second reference to the same
file, press the No button and you will move to the Destination Selection
window (The Drawer / Folder Manager).

If you are going to be copying the file or document to a new one, which
is usually the case, answer yes to do so and then complete the information
for the new document or file as it is asked for on screen.

The moving of documents does not require any additional parameters or
instructions and once activated the function will move directly to the
Destination screen.

HELP23
----------------------------------------Print Report---------------------------------------

The Print Manager is a facility in which you can generate generic reports
or customized print outs. To print a generic report, simply check off what
you want to print in the "Generic Print Request" section. If you want to
print a custom report, select the items you want printed from the "Custom
Print" section.

Once you have selected a report type, make sure that the Printer Port
setting is correct and then press the Print button.

In addition, the print feature will print the associated file if print is
activated from the file list, or file record screen.

HELP24
------------------------------------Renaming a File------------------------------------

To rename a file, remember to use an extension when typing in the new name,
unless you want to change the file name to one without an extension. If you
don't use an extension, you may have difficulty launching the file later
depending on the program it was created in. We do not recommend NOT using
an extension.

HELP25
------------------------------------Create Directory-------------------------------------

This feature obviously applies only to directory management and is pretty
clear in definition. To add a new directory, locate yourself in the area
you want the directory added. Once you are in the area in the list that you
want the directory added to, press the Create Directory button. An edit
field will appear in which you will type the new directory name. Just type
the name. Do not type any other information such as drive, or higher level
directory names. The File Manager knows where you are in the list and takes
care of all of that for you.

HELP26
-------------------------------------------View-----------------------------------------

The View button allows you to look at files without opening the associated
program.  In Windows this is not very useful as most Windows program files
use special formats and the viewer in the File Manager displays the file in
ASCII format. You may find this feature useful in seeing just enough
understandable data in the file to know what it is.

To use the feature, highlight the file you wish to view and press the View
button.  The File Manager viewer will appear and the selected file will be
loaded. Press the Cancel button when through and you will return to the

--------------------------------------Delete------------------------------------------

Deleting a File Record (Delete)

The Deletion confirmation windows allows you to specify the scope of your
deletion. By default, the Delete command will only delete the file
information in Golden RETRIEVER.  If you wish to delete the attached DOS
file, click on the 'Delete all Referenced Files' checkbox. You can also
Shred the file, making it impossible to recover with an Undelete utility.

---------------------------------Save As/Open Intercept-------------------------------

Save As/Open Intercept, allows Golden RETRIEVER to work within Windows
applications.  This is accomplished by intercepting the Save As and Open
commands of your application.

To use Save As/Open Intercept, make sure it is checked off in the
preferences menu of Golden RETRIEVER, then follow these steps:

1. When you are ready to Save or Open a file, select the command you
   normally use in your application.

2. Your applications Save or Open box will be displayed briefly, then the
   Golden RETRIEVER box will replace it.  At this point you can enter the
   new name of the file, or select an existing file.

3. Select the appropriate Drawer or Folder, and verify the application
   listed is correct.  You may optionally turn on Create Backups, this
   will ensure that no duplicate filenames will overwrite existing files.

4. Click on File Info/Summary Info, to change any of the fields associated
   with the file.  These fields are Subject, Author, Receiver, Topic, and
   comments.

5. You may optionally click on DOS Info.  This will allow you to see the
   DOS name that will be given to your document, and optionally change that
   DOS name. You may also change directory, or drive specifications.
