TUTOR 123
by
Kevin L. Cummings
Copyright(C) 1989
INTRODUCTION
TUTOR 123 is an interactive tutorial which was designed to teach
the novice PC user the fundamentals of Lotus 1-2-3. The program
is comprised of six lessons and is contained in nine program files.
The program was created using Borland's Turbo Basic version 1.1
and incorporates Rick Fothergill's windowing routines.
This program is based on Lotus 1-2-3 version 2.01. At the time
of this writing (May 1989), Lotus Development Corporation is
gearing up to release versions 2.2 and 3.0. I have seen a demo of
3.0 and at the beginning level it is substantially the same as the
current version. So, this tutorial should be servicable for those
wishing to gain a beginner's knowledge of both of the new versions.

FLOPPY DISK INSTALLATION
If you have a PC with one (1) or more floppy disk drives, put
DISK 1 in disk drive A. Transfer to disk drive A by typing:
A:
and pressing [RETURN]. Start the program by typing:
TUTOR123
and pressing [RETURN]. From this point on, the program will prompt
you for disk changes.
HARD DISK INSTALLATION
If you have a PC with a hard disk, you may install the tutorial
in its own sub-directory. Begin by transferring to the C drive by
typing:
C:
and pressing [RETURN]. Next you need to make sure you are in the
root directory. Do this by typing:
CD\
and pressing [RETURN]. Now you can create a new sub-directory on
your hard drive by typing:
MD \TUTOR123
and pressing [RETURN]. Move into the sub-directory by typing:
CD \TUTOR123
and pressing [RETURN]. At this point, you will begin copying the
program disks into the sub-directory on the hard disk. Place DISK
1 in drive A and then type:
COPY A:*.*
and press [RETURN]. When that is complete, repeat the procedure
with DISK 2.
To start your copy of TUTOR 123, you need to move into the TUTOR123
