╬UMBER 1 WILL DO JUST WHAT IT IMPLIES. ┘OU WILL BE GIVEN THE CHOICE OF INPUTTING A FILE BY HAND OR HAVING THE PROGRAM READ IT OFF THE DISK. ╘HE HAND ENTRY IS NECESSARY FOR ├╨═ OR PROTECTED DISKS. ╫HEN THE PROGRAM READS THE DISK IN FOR YOU, YOU CAN SELECT WHICH PROGRAMS YOU WANT OR IF YOU WANT THE ENTIRE DISK. ┘OU MAY USE THE FUNCTION KEY DEFINITIONS FOR THE DISK NAMES IF YOU WISH.
╬UMBER 2 WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEE ALL OF THE FILES, ON SCREEN, THAT YOU HAVE IN MEMORY.
╬UMBER 3 WILL PRINT YOUR FILES. ┘OU WILL BE PROMPTED TO SET YOU PRINTER TO TOP OF FORM AND THEN PRESS ANY KEY. ╘HE PROGRAM WILL TAKE THE NUMBER OF PRINTER LINES (THAT YOU INPUTED FROM THE DISK MENU) AND PRINT OUT YOUR FILES, SKIPPING OVER THE PERFORATION. ╘HE DEFAULT PRINT LINES IS 66.
╬UMBER 4, AGAIN IS SELF EXPLANATORY...NUMBER 5 AND 6 WILL SAVE ALL OF YOUR CATALOGED NAMES TO DISK IN THE FILE NAME YOU WISH.

╬EXT WE HAVE THE DISK UTILITY MENU, WHICH YOU GET TO BY HITTING THE TAB FROM THE MAIN MENU. ╘HIS WILL LET YOU DO ALMOST EVERYTHING TO YOUR DISK THAT IS LEGAL! ═OST OF THESE COMMANDS ARE SELF EXPLANATORY. ╚OWEVER, A COUPLE DO NEED SOME EXPLANATION.

╬UMBER 9 IS WHERE YOU CAN CHANGE THE DEFAULT VALUE FOR NUMBER OF LINES ON THE PRINTER PAGE. ╘HIS ONE MAY TAKE A LITTLE PLAYING SEEING THAT ALL PRINTERS, DUE TO INTERFACING, ARE DIFFERENT. ╧NCE YOU SELECT THE NUMBER YOU WANT IT WILL BE SAVED ON DISK UNDER THE SEQ. FILE ╨╥╔╬╘┼╥.
