%%daTeien%%

  The Files menu allows you to use the printing and editing facilities
    of See Mail for ANY of your text files, not just your mail.

  It also allows you to select files created by another mail system such
    as Compuserve, and store the file within the See Mail folder system.

  (To view only your MAIL files select the mail menu folders option).

  For help on sub-options open the pulldown menu, move to the sub-option,
    and then press <F1> Help again.%%%

%%daTeien ║ Drucken%%

  Use this Print option to print a file that you have already selected.

  See Mail remembers the last file you accessed, so you do not have to
    re-select a file if you are returning to this menu and decide you
    wanted to print.

  Printing will begin from the top of the file, to print from a point
    within the file, select Mail and View.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge%%

  Use the tools from this menu to access you mail files. The Mail tools
    option will give you a pulldown menu of other options.

  For help on each sub-option open the pulldown menu, move to the
    sub-option, and then press <F1> Help again.

  If you are creating a completely new mail system you must use the
    Setup option first, and make sure that the base mail directory you
    choose has already been created using the DOS mkdir command, or by
    using the See Mail INSTALL program. (See Mail can be configured to
    read mail created by Lotus Express, to enable this use the Setup
    options menu). %%%

%%Setup%%

  The Setup tools allow you to configure See Mail to your requirements.

  The Setup option will give you a pulldown menu of other options.

  For help on sub-options open the pulldown menu, move to the sub-option,
    and then press <F1> Help again.%%%

%%Archiv%%

  Use archiving for old mail files.  You can compress old mail folders
    to save disk space, but still have the ability to reference them again
    if required.  The compression will typically reduce the folder to 30%
    of its original size, thus freeing 70% of the space to be used for new
    mail.

  You must have a copy of either the PKZIP or PKARC archive program located
    somewhere on your DOS program path for this option to work. (These programs
    are available as shareware from most sources - BBS's and or shareware
    distributors).

  Files that are archived will NOT be searched when using the search
    facilities.  You will need to un-archive to enable the search and
    print functions to read the mail details.

  The Archive option will give you a pulldown menu of more options.

  For help on sub-options open the pulldown menu, move to the sub-option,
    and then press <F1> Help again.%%%

%%Ende%%

  The Quit option will exit from the See Mail program and return to DOS.

  When you exit the program saves your printer defaults and file details
    in two configuration files.  It will normally write these files to the
    same directory as See-Mail was invoked from.  If this fails it will
    try to use the c:\ directory.  To change this invoke See-mail with a
    parameter, i.e.  See-mail D:\CONFIG which will cause the program to
    use this location for it's configuration files.  (This is important
    for user's on a LAN system who are sharing a single copy of See-mail).
    %%%
%%daTeien ║ Auswählen%%

  The Files menu allows you to use the printing and editing facilities
    of See Mail for ANY of your text files, not just your mail.

  It also allows you to select files created by another mail system such
    as Compuserve, and store the file within the See Mail folder system.

  You will be asked to select the DOS directory and file mask to be used
    in displaying a list of files.  If you do not understand this, just
    press enter each time to select the default.  A menu of files can then
    be used to select the particular file you require.  A check is made to
    ensure that the file you choose is valid text.  You can then edit,
    print, or use the utility tools on the file.

  Pressing <Esc> at any point will return you to the menu.

  ( If the file you select is larger than 64k bytes, ONLY the first 32k of
    the file will be displayed in the editor; DO NOT save over your
    original file, LOSS of data will result if you do so ).%%%

%%daTeien ║ Utilities%%

  Utilities provide access to various DOS functions.  You copy, delete, or
    rename the file you currently have selected.

  Pressing <Esc> at any point will return you to the menu.%%%

%%daTeien ║ dos-Shell%%

  Access DOS directly.  You will be placed in DOS command mode.  To return
    to See Mail enter the command »»» EXIT

  DO NOT attempt to use another program while in this DOS command mode.
    Doing so is likely to exhaust memory and lead to the computer locking
    up.  Once locked up you may have to switch the computer off and on
    again to recover.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ aktuelle Post bearbeiten%%

  The edit option allows you to re-display the last file that you selected.

  This serves as a short cut, to avoid using the "View mail" option to
    access the file.

  This is particularly useful when reviewing text of new mail that has
    been placed in the DRAFTS folder. It also allows you to easily make notes
    to a draft text as you work through the day. When you exit from See Mail
    it remembers your file, and position. Re-loading See Mail and pressing
    'M' and then 'E', will return you to where you left off editing.

  Pressing <Esc> at any point will return you to the menu.

  ( If the file you select is larger than 64k bytes, ONLY the first 32k of
    the file will be displayed in the editor; DO NOT save over your
    original file, LOSS of data will result if you do so ).%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ post-Ordner bearbeiten%%

  View gives you access to your old mail, allows you to organise mail
    files into convenient drawers & folders. The folder tool gives you
    the ability to select from your mail folders and then view the mail
    in them.

  You will be shown a menu of drawers, then folders, and then mail. To
    select any item, move the cursor to over the item, and then press
    enter.

  Once you have selected a piece of your mail you can view, print, and
    edit it as you require using the editor ACTION KEY sequence of
    <Alt-F1> followed by pressing the number of the tool you want to
    use. (See help display from within the editor for details).

  Pressing <Esc> at any point will return you to the main pulldown
    menus.

  ( If the file you select is larger than 64k bytes, ONLY the first 32k
    of the file will be displayed in the editor; DO NOT save over your
    original file, LOSS of data will result if you do so ).%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ Stichwort-Suche%%

  The topic search can be used to look through your mail folders for mail on
    a specific TOPIC.  The SUBJECT of each mail item will be compared to the
    TEXT that you specify.  You can either enter TEXT directly, or choose
    from the list of your current folder, (a list of SUBJECTS is then
    displayed for you to select).

  You will be shown a menu of folders to search.  You must then move the
    cursor to an item and then press the <Enter> key to include it in the
    search.  Press <F10> to action the search once you have tagged all the
    folders you require.

  When the search is completed a new entry is added to the folder list
    with the search results.  You could then select this item for further
    searching or printing.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ Adress-Suche%%

  The address search can be used to look through your mail folders for mail
    FROM or TO a specific person.  The address of each mail item will be
    compared to the NAME that you specify.  You can either enter a name
    directly, or choose from the list of your current folder, (a list of
    NAMES is then displayed for you to select).

  You will be shown a menu of folders to search.  You must then move the
    cursor to an item and then press the <Enter> key to include it in the
    search.  Press <F10> to action the search once you have tagged all the
    folders you require.

  When the search is completed a new entry is added to the folder list
    with the search results.  You could then select this item for further
    searching or printing.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ Datums-Suche%%

  Use the date search to search through your mail folders for TODAY's mail,
    or this MONTH's mail.  The date of each mail item will be compared to
    the DATE that you specify.  (To search for other dates use the main
    SEARCH facility)

  You will be shown a menu of folders to search.  You must then move the
    cursor to an item and then press the <Enter> key to include it in the
    search.  Press <F10> to action the search once you have tagged all the
    folders you require.

  When the search is completed a new entry is added to the folder list
    with the search results.  You could then select this item for further
    searching or printing.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ Text-Suche%%

  Use this search facility to search through your mail folders.  Each FILES
    CONTENTS is examined for the text you specify.  A list of matching items
    is then displayed for you to select and view.  When you view an item you
    will be automatically placed within the file at the point at which the
    text was found.

  You will be shown a menu of folders to search.  You must then move the
    cursor to an item and then press the <Enter> key to include it in the
    search.  Press <F10> to action the search once you have tagged all the
    folders you require.

  When the search is completed a new entry is added to the folder list
    with the search results.  You could then select this item for further
    searching or printing.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ Liste drucken%%

  Use this facility to build a list of the mail from one of your folders.
    The list shows a summary of your mail.  You can use this as an action
    list, or a reminder.  The list is displayed initially in the editor,
    so you can modify it, add comments and so forth.

  To print the list you should first press <F2> (to save your changes, if
    any) and then use the action keys <Alt-F1> and <2> to invoke the print
    facility.

  Make sure you return the cursor to the top of the file <Ctrl-PgUp>, as
    printing proceeds from the cursor position onward.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ ausWählen & drucken%%

  Use this facility to select from your mail folders and then action
    complete prints of the mail in them.

  You can print multiple items at once, forinstance from your incoming
    mail for today.

  Once you have selected the folder you require you will be shown a menu
    of mail items to select.  You must then move the cursor to an item and
    press the <Enter> key to include it in the print.  Press <F10> to
    action the printing once you have tagged all the items you require.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ Neue Post erzeugen%%

  You can create four types of mail: a) external E-mail, b) internal
    E-mail, c) Mixed E-mail, [combined external and internal], and d)
    Paper mail, which can be printed and then either mailed or faxed.  You
    will be provided with prompts to build the envelope and the message
    text.  Pressing <Enter> generally ignores the prompt, press <Y> for
    Yes, selects the action offered.

  After building your message the whole text is loaded into the editor for
    you to review the text.  If you previously marked a block of text
    (from some mail that you were viewing) and pasted it to the paste
    buffer, you can now retrieve it into this new file.

  Saving your text to the DRAFTS folder allows you to review your text.
    Selecting View will then re-enter the document and allow you to format
    the text, lookup more address details in the Databank, etc.

  Note: To Reply to / Forward a mail item view the mail item then use the
        Action keys <Alt-F1><1>, and select Reply or Forward.%%%

%%post-Werkzeuge ║ nachricht anHängen%%

  You can attach a large message file to an existing mail message.  The
    existing mail message would typically be a "stub" file
    that you have created with the create tools.  The stub will contain just
    the TO:, FROM:, and SUBJECT details only.  Your message will typically
    be too large for the editor.

  Once you have joined the two files together you can use post/send to send
    the resulting mail.  (You will of course still not be able to view all
    of the file, only the first 32k if the total size of the new file is too
    large to load).

  You can of course use this facility to join ANY two files together, if
    you find this easier than cutting and pasting with the editor.%%%

%%Archiv ║ Verzeichnis%%

  Thew view archive tool will display details of the archived files for the
    current folder that is selected.

  If you need any of these files you can use the Extract option to
    retrieve the actual file from the archive.

  After using the extract return to the MAIL menu to view or print the
    actual mail contents.

  Pressing <Esc> at any point will return you to the menu.%%%

%%Archiv ║ Ordner auswählen%%

  Use this facility to select from your mail folders and then use the
    archive/extract options for the mail in them.

  You will be shown a menu of folders.  To select an item, move the cursor
    to over the item, and then press enter.

  Once you have selected a folder of your mail you can archive or extract
    as you require.

  Pressing <Esc> at any point will return you to the menu.%%%

%%Archiv ║ Archivieren%%

  Use this facility to select from your mail and then action an archive of
    the mail you have selected.  An archive will compress your mail into a
    library and then delete the old mail.  This will save you
    approximately 60% of the disk space being used by your mail.

  You will be asked to select the type of archive you require.  You can
    archive only those items you select, or all the mail from the current
    folder.

  It is HIGHLY recommended that you normally select ARCHIVE ALL items.
    Only elect to choose items to archive if you are going to select a
    small number of items (less than fifteen). Otherwise it is MUCH faster
    and safer to archive all, and then extract the remaining files you want
    to keep expanded.

  If you choose to select items you will be shown a menu of mail from the
    current folder.  You must then move the cursor to an item and press
    the <Enter> key to include it in the archive.  Press <F10> to action
    the archiving once you have tagged all the items you require.%%%

%%Archiv ║ Extrahieren%%

  Use this facility to retrieve old mail that you had previously archived.

  You will be shown a menu of mail from the current folder.  You must then
    move the cursor to an item and press the <Enter> key to include it in
    the extract.  Press <F10> to action the extract once you have tagged
    all the items you require.

  Extract files will overwrite existing files (if they exist) with the old
    details.  The original details are retained in the archive library so
    you can just delete the file (using Utilities) if you decide you do
    not need it.  You do not have to re-archive old mail again UNLESS you
    have changed it and you want to update the archive.

  After using this feature return to Mail and Folder to see files.%%%

%%Archiv ║ auswählen & Löschen%%

  Use this facility to delete old mail that you no longer need, or mail
    you extracted from an archive but now want to remove, (original will
    still be retained in the archive).

  You will be shown a menu of mail from the current folder.  You must then
    move the cursor to an item and press the <Enter> key to include it in
    the delete.  Press <F10> to action the delete once you have tagged all
    the items you require.

  After deleting the files you will need to select FOLDER again if you
    wish to review the DISK SPACE.  (If you do not do this you will be
    erroneously shown that there are 0 files remaining in the folder you
    have selected).%%%

%%Archiv ║ auswählen & verSchieben%%

  Use this facility to move old mail to different folders, this is most
    useful for re-organising your incoming mail at the end of the day.

  You will be shown a menu of mail from the current folder.  You must then
    move the cursor to an item and press the <Enter> key to include it in
    the move.  Press <F10> to action the move once you have tagged all the
    items you require.

  The folder list will be displayed again so you can choose a destination
    for the files you have selected. Move the cursor to the folder required
    and press the <Enter> key, the files will then be moved.

  After moving the files you will need to select FOLDER again if you
    wish to review the DISK SPACE.  (If you do not do this you will be
    erroneously shown that there are 0 files remaining in the folder you
    have selected).%%%

%%Archiv ║ verschieben nach Datum%%

  The move by range feature allows you to specify a date range, and
    then select two folders to move mail between for the date range chosen.

  The date is the DOS file date, NOT the mail item date, so you may wish
    to review the result and move additional files by hand if you need to.

  This feature is designed for two uses. The automatic moving out of monthly
    or weekly mail, where you are receiving scheduled mail such as daily
    status reports, and so forth. The other use is for users of Lotus Express
    who are converting to See Mail. Heavy mail users may find they have 300
    or 400 mail items in one folder which is a maintenance nightmare. With
    this tool they can quickly reduce the number of active mail items to a
    sane amount, by moving the bulk of them to another folder, and archiving
    them there.

  You should aim to keep not more than 200 items in a folder. This ensures
    an optimal balance between functionality and speed and ease of access.
    For best results limit your number of mail items to about 50 per folder.%%%

%%Archiv ║ Plattenkapazität%%

  Review disk space provides an estimate of the amount of disk space
    needed to successfully complete file archiving.

  You will be shown how much space the mail in your current folder is
    using, and then the total space that is available on the disk.

  If your disk is almost full, then choose only folders that are small to
    archive first.  Once you have enough new free space you can return to
    tackle one of your larger folders.

  Archiving and backing up on a regular basis will avoid any potential
    problems due to lack of space.

  (If you are adding to an existing archive you will need enough disk
    space to copy the archive and then add the new files you are archiving
    to it).%%%

%%Archiv ║ aktenschRank verwalten%%

  You may create as many folders (DOS directories) as you like to store
    different categories of mail items in.

  Cabinet maintenance organises your folders into drawers to provide
    quicker, easier access. This emulates a file cabinet, but with one
    important difference. You MAY include the same folder into several
    drawers. This makes it easier to group logical folders into sets,
    and still provide access to common folders such as incoming and sent.

  If drawers seem an extra burden to you, you can delete them all and
    continue to use just folders only.

  You must select the save cabinet option, otherwise changes will only
    be temporary. Any drawer must have at least one folder in it.

  If you want to re-instate the default drawers, delete the file called
    sm-cabnt.cfg that will have been created.

  Drawers are sorted, but folders are displayed in the sequence that you
    add them to the drawer. Mail items within folders are sorted by
    DOS file date (NOT mail item date!). %%%

%%Setup ║ Programmodus%%

  Standard mode is designed to allow you to get familiar with the main
    features of See Mail.  The menus are designed to be uncluttered and
    give access to the basic functions.

  Once you have become familiar with the fundimentals of using See Mail you
    can then decide to use the advanced mode.  However if you are only an
    occasional e-mail user you will probably find that the standard mode is
    sufficient for all your needs.

  Experienced users of e-mail, and those wanting a full range of features
    can switch up at any time.  See Mail uses two coded files (called -
    sm-mnstd.cfg and sm-mnadv.cfg) to hold the menu images.  After
    selecting the mode you want to use, quit from the program, and then
    re-start again.  The new menu will be loaded into memory as the program
    starts.%%%

%%Setup ║ Verzeichnisse%%

  Use this facility to change the mail program defaults.  See Mail can be
    configured for use with old Lotus Express mail.  For other programs you
    can change the name of the main directory for mail, the mail folder DOS
    file name extension, and the letter DOS extension.

  Also you can indicate which archiving program you wish to use.  (You
    should ensure that your DOS path is set correctly to use archiving,
    see Manual).

  The new options will only be temporary unless you use the "save
    Configuration" option.%%%

%%Setup ║ Druckerfonts%%

  Use this facility to change the program default printer details.  The
    last three printer fonts (those for HPLaser 3) can be modified.  This
    allows you to setup printing for ANY printer, or change the font and
    sizes to your own preference.

  You will be asked for the new description (as displayed in the print
    menu for selection), the new setup string, reset string, and number of
    lines per page.

  See the See Mail reference manual for more details on using this option.

  The new options will only be temporary unless you use the "save
    Configuration" option.%%%

%%Setup ║ Bildschirmanzeige%%

  Use this facility to change the colours and size of the display.  You
    can change the number of curtain lines from 7 to screen size - 1. The
    number you specify is SUBTRACTED for the total number of screen lines.

  If you have a VGA or EGA display you can change the mode to show 50 or
    43 lines of text accordingly.

  You can specify different colours for each of the main functions within
    See Mail.

  The new options will only be temporary unless you use the "save
    Configuration" option.%%%

%%Setup ║ Kommunikation%%

  Use this facility to configure your modem, and LAN mail options.  You
    must use this option before attempting to either send MCI Mail, or
    E-Mail on your LAN system.

  After using the MCI Mail Rolm or Hayes modem setup you should select <Y>
    to create the necessary communications file.  You can then try the MCI
    Mail communications.  (Over-seas users may have special MCI Mail
    access needs, if so after doing the Rolm or Hayes setup you should
    change the file called EMMA.CFG in the OUTGOING folder.  See the
    EMMA.DOC for more details of doing this).

  Note: The LAN mail options will only be temporary unless you use the
        "save Configuration" option.%%%

%%Setup ║ Zusatzoptionen%%

  Use this facility to configure the video display method.  This allows
    you to use DOS BIOS video writes instead of direct video RAM writes.
    You should only need to do this if you are running See Mail on a
    multi-user, single processor system with dumb terminals attached.

  Using this option will make the databank unavailable because of the way
    the databank screens are written.

  The other use for this is to demonstrate just how fast See Mail is doing
    its screen writes using video RAM!%%%

%%Setup ║ konfiguration Speichern%%

  You only need to use this option if you have changed the setup and want
    to make the changes permanent.

  The program saves your font, screen, and directory options in three
    configuration files.  It will normally write these files to the same
    directory as See-Mail was invoked from.  If this fails it will try to
    use the c:\ directory.  To change this invoke See-mail with a
    parameter, i.e.  See-mail D:\CONFIG which will cause the program to
    use this location for it's configuration files.  (This is important
    for user's on a LAN system who are sharing a single copy of See-mail).

  To reset to the default setup DELETE all the files with a DOS extension
    of .CFG%%%

%%Post%%

  This is the gateway for your mail.  You can send or receive E-mail
    externally, or internally.  When sending mail any items that are
    located in the OUTGOING folder are posted to the receipients.  Any
    mail that fails through addressing errors will be put in the UNSENT
    folder.  Any mail received will be stored in the INCOMING folder.

  For internal mail you will need to be connected to a LAN.  For external
    mail you need a dial out modem facility.  Both facilities MUST be
    configured using the SETUP option BEFORE attempting to use the
    mailBox.%%%

%%Datenbank%%

  This is a multiple database facility of useful facts.  You can create as
    many different databank's as you need.  Each one can have its own
    customised screen to go with it.  You can also share databank's in a
    LAN environment with other users.

  Databank's can contain ANY information, not just names and addresses.
    You can use it to track useful DOS commands, product related details
    in a Sales Office, etc, all that is needed is to use SCRDEF to create
    a new screen template!

  See the manual for more details on customising your own screens and
    using the SCRDEF program to assist you.

  Import and exporting data to databank files is also fully supported.
    This allows you to use other database products in combination with
    See-Mail databank's.%%%

%%Datenbank ║ standard-Texte bearbeiten%%

  Use this facility to change the program help messages, and also the
    STANDARD MESSAGES used when creating MAIL.

  You can add more standard messages up to a maximum file size of 64k
    bytes.  Each message header should be prefixed with 4 '%' signs.  You
    must begin the associated text for the header on the next line,
    marking the end of the text with 3 '%' signs.

  If you are running See-Mail from a LAN drive you should either have
    update access to the SEE-MAIL.MSG file OR copy it to your local disk
    and then invoke SEE-MAIL with a parameter, i.e.  See-mail c:\utils%%%

%%Datenbank ║ Datenbank erzeugen%%

  This allows you to setup additional databank databases.  The new
    databank's will be created in the same directory you execute See-Mail
    from, or the drive and directory you specified as a parameter on the
    command line.  (I.e. if you are using See-Mail from a LAN specify your
    local drive).

  The default databank GENERAL uses the default SEE-MAIL.SCR screen
    definition.  Your new databank will also use this definition unless you
    create another .SCR file with a new screen layout.  The .SCR file name
    should be the same as your databank name.  (See manual on SCRDEF tool
    for more details).%%%

%%Datenbank ║ export/Import datenbank%%

  This allows you to select a databank and then either Export data from it
    to an ASCII text file, or Import data into the databank from an ASCII
    text file.  The ASCII text file format is controlled by the .SCR file
    associated with the databank.  The data is processed in the sequence it
    is defined in the .SCR file.

  The default databank GENERAL uses the default SEE-MAIL.SCR screen
    definition.  Your databank will also use this definition unless you
    create another .SCR file with a new layout.  The .SCR file name should
    be the same as your databank name.  (See manual on SCRDEF tool for more
    details).

  You can export a selection of records by first using the search databank
    facility by action date, notes, or other.  Then use the generated
    index for the export to select only those records.%%%

%%Datenbank ║ Aktionscodes bearbeiten%%

  Use this facility to change the databank action codes and their messages.

  You can add more action codes up to a maximum file size of 64k bytes.
    Each action code header should be prefixed with 4 '%' signs.  You must
    begin the associated text for the header on the next line, marking the
    end of the text with 3 '%' signs.

  If you are running See-Mail from a LAN drive you should either have
    update access to the SEE-MAIL.ACT file OR copy it to your local disk
    and then invoke SEE-MAIL with a parameter of your local directory,
    i.e.  See-mail c:\mail

  The '<' & '>' action codes have special meaning which you cannot change.
    All other codes you can change as you require.%%%

%%Datenbank ║ Blättern datenbank%%

  You can select a databank and then search for a particular starting point
    using one of four different indexes.  For all except the MCI-ID
    entering blanks and pressing enter will display from the first record
    in the file for that index.

  If there are more than 100 entries in the databank you should note that
    only up to 100 items can be displayed at one time.

  Selecting a particular entry will display full details for that item.
    You can then modify the details as required.  To SAVE the new details
    you should press <F10>, not <ESC> when leaving the screen.

  If you are accessing a databank on a remote LAN drive full record locking
    is supported by See-Mail.  (The default name used for a shared LAN
    databank is COMMON.RLX).%%%

%%Datenbank ║ Verteilerlisten bearbeiten%%

  Use this facility to review mailing lists, you can add to the lists
    directly from inside a mail item by using the Alt-F1 menu and
    selecting mailing lists.

  You can add more mailing lists up to a maximum file size of 64k bytes.
    Each list header should be prefixed with 4 '%' signs.  You must begin
    the associated addressesfor the list on the next line, marking the end
    of the addresses with 3 '%' signs.  (Use this method to store unusual,
    or paper mail addresses that you refer to frequently).

  If you are running See-Mail from a LAN drive you should either have
    update access to the SEE-MAIL.MLS file OR copy it to your local disk
    and then invoke SEE-MAIL with a parameter, i.e.  See-mail c:\utils%%%

%%Datenbank ║ Eintrag Löschen%%

  This function allows you to select a list of records from the database.
    You can then select items from the list to be deleted by moving the
    cursor to the item and pressing <Enter>.

  After deleting an item the list will be re-displayed until you press
    <Esc>.  The re-displayed list will still show the deleted items.  (You
    can confirm the delete by re-selecting the item, it will be shown are
    'Record not found').  Exiting and re-building the selection would then
    show the list without the deleted items.

  Deleted items are removed permanently from the database.  The will
    however re-use the space to store new records, thus preventing the
    database from wasting disk space.%%%

%%Datenbank ║ Neuer Eintrag%%

  This function allows you to select a databank and then enter a new
    record.  Be sure to press <F10> to terminate the databank screen
    display to SAVE the record.

  You should only use this method to enter data you cannot capture from
    old mail items.  I.e. if an old mail item exists with the required
    mailing address details it is faster to edit the mail and use
    <Alt-F1><8> to add the databank record.

  Also note that when adding record details you can move between lines
    more quickly using the arrows keys rather than the <TAB> keys.

  See the manual for details of customizing databank entry screens and
    details on using each field within the databank.%%%

%%Datenbank ║ Suche nach Notiz/Aktionsdatum/Anderes%%

  This function builds a dynamic index.  This means you can search through
    every record for the field you specify, and if a match is found, that
    record will be added to the index.  You can therefore maintain 'TO DO'
    lists that you can change every day, or select records based on
    another key data item.

  You can then use the dynamic index to export those records, review their
    details, or delete them.

  The action date search allows you to specify an action code and a date
    range for your search.  If you don't enter an action code, then all
    codes will match.

  The search for Notes or Other will find ANY matching string within those
    fields.  So a search for Test, will match with TESTER, Testing, and
    tested, etc.%%%
%%Post ║ Mci Mail senden/abholen%%

  The Post/open facility communicates directly with MCI Mail.  Any mail
    that you have sent to the OUTGOING folder will be posted, and then
    automatically moved to your SENT folder.  If an error occurs the mail
    will be returned to the UNSENT folder for review.  Any mail in your
    INBOX will be read and automatically placed in your INCOMING folder.

  BEFORE you can use this facility you MUST use the Setup Communication
    option to configure MCI Mail for your account and computer
    environment.

  At the end of each communication session you will be shown a summary of
    the results.  You can browse this to determine the results, or resolve
    errors (such as addressing) that have occurred.

  Once the mail has been transferred you can see the actual mail items
    using the View mail option.

%%%
%%Post ║ Log-Datei ansehen%%

  This tool provides access to the results of your external modem
    communications.  Use it when you are first setting up your mail box to
    review your modem access.  Also if an item of your outgoing mail is
    rejected you can use this to review the addressing problem, and also
    the alternative addresses available.  You can cut and paste details
    from the log into your UNSENT mail item to correct the address
    problem.

  You may also use this option after using the auto poll facility to see
    the total results from the mailbox accesses.  In this case the log
    file will contain the results of the latest mail access ONLY.  However
    the mail items sent and received counts will reflect the TOTAL from
    all the mail calls made.

  Note: if the log file is greater than 64k you cannot display it, you
        would then have to use the Select File option manually. %%%

%%Post ║ Automatisch Mci Mail abholen%%

  This option prompts you for a repeat time in minutes and then enters a
    loop, polling the mail service each time the number of minutes is
    elapsed.

  A count down is displayed along with a count of the total accesses made
    so far.

  You should use this option for un-attended reading your mail, such as
    overnight, or during the day while you are not using your PC.

  You can stop the process at any time by pressing a key.  If mail is
    being accessed you should wait until this finishes before stopping the
    polling loop. %%%
%%Post ║ Interne post senden/abholen%%

  This reads or sends mail from/to your LAN mailbox, and your INCOMING,
    OUTGOING, SENT, UNSENT folders.

  To use this facility you must first use SETUP to set the location of the
    LAN mailbox, and then use the internal mail configure to identify
    yourself to the mail system.

  When you create OUTGOING mail you must specify the destination as
    (INTERNAL).  If the first receipient is marked as internal then the
    whole mail item is sent ONLY AS internal mail.

  You can send a mail item both internally and to MCI Mail.  This mixed
    mail MUST be sent internally first.  The first address MUST be an MCI
    Mail address; any internal receipients must each be marked as
    (INTERNAL).  Once the internal posting is complete you can then select
    the option to post the mail to MCI Mail.

  Once the mail has been transferred you can see the actual mail items
    using the View mail option. %%%
%%Post ║"interne post Erzeugen%%

  You can create four types of mail: a) external E-mail, b) internal
    E-mail, c) Mixed E-mail, [combined external and internal], and d)
    Paper mail, which can be printed and then either mailed or faxed.

  This option is for Internal mail only. You will be provided with prompts
    to build the envelope and the message text.  Pressing <Enter> generally
    ignores the prompt, press <Y> for Yes, selects the action offered.

  After building your message the whole text is loaded into the editor for
    you to review the text.  If you previously marked a block of text
    (from some mail that you were viewing) and pasted it to the paste
    buffer, you can now retrieve it into this new file.

  Saving your text to the DRAFTS folder allows you to review your text.
    Selecting View will then re-enter the document and allow you to format
    the text, lookup more address details in the Databank, etc.

  Note: To Reply to / Forward a mail item view the mail item then use the
        Action keys <Alt-F1><1>, and select Reply or Forward.%%%
%%Post ║ interne post Konfigurieren%%

  Before using this option you must use the Setup option to identify the
    location of your LAN mailbox file.

  You can then either create the new mailbox file and enter mail system
    groups, or add yourself to an existing mailbox, and select the groups
    you want to have access to.

  This option also allows you to revise your user details, remove yourself
    from mail system groups, or add yourself to new ones.  Passwords are
    optional.  If you do not require a password, press <Enter> when asked
    for a password.  Your password will then default ot NONE, and you will
    not be prompted again.

  Note: when changing or adding details you will be prompted to select Yes
        or No for your changes, make sure you press Y for Yes if you intend
        to Save the new details. %%%

%%Post ║ See Mail information%%

  This option displays program information, and also the program
    documentation file. %%%
%%Text format%%

     When re-formatting text within the editor the following applies:

     1) The cursor MUST be located in the text of the first
        paragraph to be formatted.

     2) The start and end of all paragraphs must be delimited
        by two linefeeds, i.e. pressing <Enter> twice (┘┘).
        [Note: Avoid entering spaces between the two linefeeds,
         i.e. ┘  ┘  will not be recognised; press Alt-I before
         altering text (toggles auto-indent mode).].

     3) Always save <F2> BEFORE formatting so you can escape
        and restore the previous text if you need to, (the format
        option may fail when available memory is low).

 To permanently save a default margins setting - use the Setup
    menu and then the Save configuration option. %%%

%%Create Mail%%

  You can create four types of mail: a) external E-mail, b) internal
    E-mail, c) Mixed E-mail, [where first receipient is external, but
    others are internal], and d) Paper mail, which can be printed and then
    either mailed or faxed.

  After creating the basic mail item you can save the text to the DRAFTS
    folder.  Press <V> for View will then re-enter the document and allow
    you to format the text, lookup more address details in the databank,
    and complete and send the mail using the EDIT ACTION KEYS
    (<Alt-F1><1>).

  When building paper mail you should add mailing address and letter
    details AFTER the standard E-mail "To:, From:, Subject:" header.
    Printing is then done by moving the cursor past this header as See
    Mail will only print AFTER the current cursor position in a document.

  Use the data bank search to lookup address details before creating mail.
    Addresses can be put in the pastebuffer for automatic retrieval by
    the create mail process.%%%

%%Screen Options%%

  Screen mode    -    switch to 50, or 43 lines for VGA or EGA displays,
              or select monochrome mode of your choice.
  Top menu    -    change colour of main menu line.
  Pulldown    -    colour of options from main menu line.
  Editor    -    change colour used by the editor tools.
  Curtain lines    -    number of lines to leave displayed of DOS screen.

              files.
  popup menus    -    colour used by sub-menus.
  mail default    -    set your default mail type, when creating new mail
              the send via option will default to this method.
  mailBox menu    -    if you are not using MCI Mail, choose Internal mail only,
              this will simplify the mailbox menu for LAN E-Mail users. Similarly if
              you only use MCI Mail, you can have just those options displayed.

  All changes are temporary until you use the 'save configuration' option
  to make them permanent.

    %%%

%%Post ║ post Bearbeiten%%

  View gives you access to your mail files, and allows you to organise
    mail files into convenient folders. The folder tool gives you the
    ability to select from your mail folders and then view the mail in
    them. Mail is automatically transferred between your OUTGOING, INCOMING,
    SENT and UNSENT folders as you post/open mail.

  You will be shown a menu of folders, and then mail.  To select any item,
    move the cursor to over the item, and then press enter.

  Once you have selected a piece of your mail you can view, print, and
    edit it as you require using the editor ACTION KEY sequence of <Alt-F1>
    followed by pressing the number of the tool you want to use.

  Pressing <Esc> at any point will return you to the menu.

  ( If the file you select is larger than 64k bytes, ONLY the first 32k of
    the file will be displayed in the editor; DO NOT save over your
    original file, LOSS of data will result if you do so ).%%%

%%Post ║ Online-Zugang zu Mci Mail%%

  This will dial MCI Mail in interactive mode.  You should use this option
    to access bulletin boards, check for mail addresses, and access the MCI
    Mail online help.

  You might also use this option if you are sharing a mailbox, and you
    are not using the automatic receive mail option. You can then
    review and capture your mail on-line.%%%

%%Post ║ Hintergrund-Mci Mail abholen%%

  If you have the MCI Mailer loaded, this option will retrieve any mail
    read by the mailer as it is running in resident mode.

  It can also be used to review mail read in at any time, in command mode,
    or auto poll mode, from MCI Mail.

  To load the MCI Mailer into memory you should use the MCI-RES.BAT batch
    file (do this BEFORE using See Mail).  You may prefer to call the
    MCI-RES batch file from your DOS autoexec.bat file.  This will load the
    background mailer automatically whenever you switch your PC on.%%%

%%Keyboard Define%%

  Using the keyboard mapping provided you can change the command keys
    within the editor to suit your preferences. Most keys are available
    for re-mapping. However care should be exercised, and only a few keys
    at a time should be changed.  Before re-mapping keys, you should take
    note of all the current and decide which ones you want to re-assign.

  After making changes always check that they are working before saving
    them away. The new key map file is saved to your local mail directory,
    so if you are using a LAN system, each user can have their own keyboard
    setup.

  The restore option returns the original default keyboard setup. Use this
    if you need to start over on your key mapping.

  Note: The editor Application keys - the first column contains <Alt><1>,
        <2>, etc, but this is not displayed. If you change a mapping be sure
        to re-enter a <Alt><> combination in the first column.%%%
