To use the on-line help, the dictionary, or the text to .EXE
converter, you will need to extract these files from the
compressed file BRZUTS32.EXE. To extract these files you simply
execute the file as you would a normal program, by typing its
name, and then pressing the Enter key. But you must ensure
there is enough space on your disk for the uncompressed files to
fit. If you want to extract these files from a floppy disk in
Drive A: to Drive B: or from Drive A: to Drive C: you would log
onto drive A: and then type:
BRZUTS32 B:
or
BRZUTS32 C:
- depending on whether you wanted the files to be extracted
to Drive B: or C:.
┌──────────────┐
│ ON-LINE HELP │
└──────────────┘
On-line help is available at all times by pressing the F1
key. If the BREEZE.HLP file is not available, then make sure
you have extracted it from the BRZUTS32.EXE file by following
the above instructions.
Press F10 to see the main menu, and look through the various
sub-options. You can position the highlight bar on any of the
sub-options from the main menu, and press F1 to get specific
help on any individual item.
If you hold down the Ctrl key or the Alt key for a couple of
seconds a display will appear at the bottom of the screen
prompting you with all the functions available under that key.
