Welcome to the world of boxing in QBASIC or QUICKBASIC.
This quick tour of BOXER will take you through the four different ways you
can create boxes in the TEXT mode for your screen.

###############################################
Choose Option B from the BOXER main menu to create a full screen box.
You can use almost all of the ASCII character set to create a border. (Some
of the exceptions are CHR$(7) which will ring your computer's bell; CHR$(0)
CHR$(0), CHR$(32); CHR$(255) which won't print anythhing to the screen.)
Perhaps, you will want to take a tour of ASCII before making your choice.
If so, choose Option A on the BOXER main menu.
You can create a full screen box by typing in an ASCII number at the
prompt. BOXER will then show you how the box will look. You also will be
given three options:
1. Save the box to "TESTBOX.BAS"
(Strike the ENTER key)
2. Redo your box choice.
(In order to do this, strike the ENTER key and choose Option
1 from the window which has been added to the Options menu.
Strike the ENTER key again.)
3. Return to BOXER main menu.
(Strike the ENTER key)

Choose Option C from the BOXER main menu to create a located box.
You can create a full screen box by typing in the following information
at the appropriate prompts:
@ Width of box from 10 to 70 columns
@ASCII number selection for border
@ Location of top row and left column for box
(Both entries are made at the same prompt. Be sure to
separate your selections with a comma. For example: 3, 12
would mean Row 3, Column 12.)
@Depth of box
(No more than 22nd row)
BOXER will then show you how the box will look. You also will be
given three options:
1. Save the box to "TESTBOX.BAS"
(Strike the ENTER key)
2. Redo your box choice.
(In order to do this, strike the ENTER key and choose Option
2 from the window which has been added to the Options menu.
Strike the ENTER key again.)
3. Return to BOXER main menu.
(Strike the ENTER key)
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
{}{} {}{}
{}{} SPECIAL BOXES {}{}
{}{} {}{}
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
Choose Option D from the BOXER main menu to select one of 12
boxes which have been created for you. These boxes have been designed to
be full screen boxes. But they can be adjusted to the users' needs. (See
BORDER.BAS as example of how to resize one of the special boxes.)
BOXER will then show you how the box will look. You also will be
given three options:
1. Save the box to "TESTBOX.BAS"
(Strike the ENTER key)
2. Redo your box choice.
(In order to do this, strike the ENTER key and choose Option
3 from the window which has been added to the Options menu.
Strike the ENTER key again.)
3. Return to BOXER main menu.
(Strike the ENTER key)
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

(*)(*) ROLL YOUR OWN BOXES (*)(*)
(*)(*) (*)(*)
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Choose Option E from the BOXER main menu to be truly creative and
create your own specially designed boxes with two, four, eight or 10 elements.
This option takes the most tought and can be the most exasperating. (See
ROLL.BAS as examples of boxes created with this option.)
BOXER will then show you how the box will look. You also will be
given three options:
1. Save the box to "TESTBOX.BAS"
(Strike the ENTER key)
2. Redo your box choice.
(In order to do this, strike the ENTER key and choose Option
4 from the window which has been added to the Options menu.
Strike the ENTER key again.)
