Introduction
Welcome to RAME
RAME (RemoteAccess Menu Editor) came about because of some of the
short comings of the Menu Editor that comes with RemoteAccess. So
after about a year of playing around with the code, I finally sat
down about two weeks ago to finish it up. I believe that the program
is bug free and you will enjoy the added features that RAME offers
over the menu editor that comes with RemoteAccess.
RAME has been designed for RA only. RAME Supports the ability to
select from 30 diffent language/menu areas. It allows you to simulate
your ANSI, ASCII, AVATAR and RIP screens. It has built in graphics
like the program THEDRAW. It gives you the ability to copy, rename,
edit, delete and create new menus. It has built in online help for
your menu ACTION selections.
RAME is so simple to use that the doc's will not go into much detail
on how to run the program. But I will have one section called "HINTS"
to aid anyone that needs help.

Hints
1. In your Autoexec.bat file you have the following line:
Set RA=C:\RA
Your path may vary, but notice no trailing backslash.
2. When copying, renaming or Deleting a menu use the spacebar
to toggle a check mark before the file name and then press
enter.
3. When returning from a rip screen simulation you must press
almost any key twice or one of the F keys once to return to
RAME.
4. When at Main or Simulate you can easily move around by pressing
the highlighted key.
5. When Selecting a Menu you can quickly move to the right file by
pressing the first letter in the menu name. Example:
let's say you have 20 menus and you want to edit the TOP.MNU
you can press T and it will take you to the first menu that
starts with the letter T. That is quicker than pressing the
arrow key 20 times if the menu is the last one
6. When Selecting a MENU ACTION, you can get complete online help
by pressing the F1 key and toggle to a full page view by pressing
the F5 key. From within help you can press F1 key again and get
and index of all available help areas.
7. Not a bug; if you use a utility called ANSI TO RIP to convert
your ansi screens to rip screens they may not display correctly
because they are not true rip screens.
8. If you have a mouse installed, you will be able to use it in
certain areas of RAME; like selecting menus, color, online help
and simulations of screens.
9. Until the program is registered, you will not get use of one small
feature and that is the graphics option. This is to promote
registering the program but not cripple the program totally.
There will also be a small delay at the end of the program until
it is registered. Upon registering you will receive a key file.
10. RAME can be run from any directory; the following files should be
in the RAME.ARJ file:
FILE_ID.DIZ
RAME.EXE
RAME.FNT
RAME.CHR
RAME.HLP
RAME.DOC
11. Any comments about RAME can be posted in the RA UTIL echo.
The comments should be addressed to RANDALL BAKER or
DAVID SMART.
Considering this is the first release of the program, I believe the
above 11 area's should cover any unknowns about RAME.
This is a shareware program and you may use it for a trial period of
30 days, at which time you must register or stop using the program.
RAME is not guaranteed to do anything but take up space on your hard
drive.
