This is a brief doc. file for Comm 1.34 which should help new users.

This disk boots, i.e. use it instead of Workbench. After it has booted up,
choose the split screen menu option.  For some reason, Kickstart 1.3 gives a
split screen about half way up, but 1.2 puts the split too near the bottom.

For Amtor, I suggest loading key macros. When file requester appears, delete
comm and substitute PK232. This will load macro functions but you will first
need to edit the file PK232.Keys. Just use Emacs to edit to your
requirements. F10 is set at the moment to send +? CR i.e. the Amtor c/o.

To get into CLI after booting, just select `quit' which will give you the
usual prompt 1> then use CLI by typing in what you need. e.g. Emacs for the
editor or TYPE filename to read an ASCII file. Don't forget you may need to
type in cd df0: or cd df1: OR cd comm if you want to see the dir of either
drive or the program Comm. To return to Comm. 1.34 from CLI just type
comm/comm.

Printer may be toggled on/off at any time using left Amiga key and p key
together. This starts/stops simultaneous hard copy of what is on the screen.
You may need to add the appropriate printer driver to devs/printers directory.

To get preferences on screen, just type preferences after CLI prompt 1>

To use the Emacs editor, just choose `visit file' menu option and type in the
name of the file you want to edit, e.g.docs for this file or PK232.KEYS if
you want to edit the macro keys.  I have left my macros on as an example to
play around with.

Don't forget, you can stop text scrolling if you need to by pressing the
right mouse key.

I hope these brief notes will be of some help.
