2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Printer Dolly program is what is known as a "terminate and stay
resident" program that remains resident in your computers memory
from the time you turn on your computer.  When you want to use the
program, you hit the "hot key" and a small window appears that
allows you to select individual commands or Setups that will
control the behavior of your printers.  These commands are
organized into major categories that speed and simplify the printer
controlling process.  The specific categories are completely
dependent on the printer and control file being used.  The commands
and categories are accessed by scrolling through a single window
using the up and down arrow keys, Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn.

When using Printer Dolly, it's important that you be aware of your
MODE OF OPERATION.  Printer Dolly always operates in one of the
following modes:

      IMMEDIATE MODE sends the selected printer command to the
      printer at the instant it is selected in the pop up window.
      If, for instance you select "Skip to Top of Page," your
      printer will immediately respond.

      DELAY MODE simply toggles a feature ON or OFF.  When a feature
      is selected - nothing is sent to your printer at that instant.
      This is the most commonly used mode because printers usually
      require 5, 10, or even 20 commands at one time to completely
      meet your needs.  You will normally use this mode to develop
      Setups that will be saved and sent, later, when you need them.

      DOCUMENT INSERT MODE is the most powerful mode for complete
      printer control within a document.  It is used in conjunction
      with most any screen editor or word processor.  This mode
      places a Printer Dolly "TOKEN CODE" into your document at
      desired locations.  This allows you to change typefaces,
      fonts, margin control, or anything else within a single page.
      This mode is very useful for making presentation overheads or
      other types of documents where presentation quality is
      important.

To operate the program properly, you must always be aware of what
mode you are in.  The "M" key is used to select the mode.

Printer Dolly also has a BATCH FEATURE that can be used to setup
your printer as desired when you turn on your computer.

You can toggle between LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3 if you wish using three
different printer control files.  This allows you to control three
printers at the same time.  This is very handy if you are, for
instance, on a LAN and you have a private printer on your PC and
also have another printer on the server.


3. INSTALLATION OF PRINTER DOLLY
At this point we will assume that you have executed the self
extracting PRINTDOL.EXE file and that you have all of the supplied
files in a subidirectory on your hard disk.  If you have no hard
disk, continue to follow these instructions and simply substitute
your target floppy whenever we refer to a hard disk.

3.1   Copy all of the extracted Printer Dolly files onto a freshly
      formatted floppy disk.  This will be called your "Print Disk."

3.2   Delete all of the extracted Printer Dolly files from your hard
      disk.

3.3   Create a subdirectory on your hard disk called \PD (or
      whatever you want to call it).

3.4   Copy DOL.COM and PCONFIG.EXE from the Print Disk to \PD on
      your hard disk.

Now you are ready to configure Printer Dolly.


4. CONFIGURATION OF PRINTER DOLLY

The configuration program is named PCONFIG.EXE and is executed by
entering PCONFIG at the MS DOS prompt once you are in \PD.

Once you enter PCONFIG, the main menu screen will appear with the
menu selections listed in the same order as the subsections in this
configuration section of the manual.  The menu items are selected
by scrolling up and down with the arrow keys and hitting return to
select the desired item.  If you want to exit the program, hit Esc.

Almost all of the steps in this process will either create or
update the file PDOL.CFG which is read by the memory resident pop
up program.  If this file is ever lost, it will be necessary to
repeat some steps of this configuration process.   It is suggested
that you configure your system as you follow the steps in this
section.

4.1 Selection of Printers and Options.
The purpose of this step is to create the necessary printer control
files that will be used by Printer Dolly to control your printer.
Although you will determine the eight character prefix name for
these files, they will all be given the suffix .DCF.

It is very important to note that this is the step that will
determine the resident memory size of the Printer Dolly pop up
program.  The memory size is computed by adding the size of the
largest .DCF file in the subdirectory to the fixed memory resident
size of the Printer Dolly program.  If you create very large
control files, Printer Dolly will require more memory.  Your
specific situation in regard to memory requirements should guide
your decisions in this process.  Trial and error is the best
process to use here.  If you configure a file that you don't like,
just delete it and configure another file.   If you have a very
simple dot matrix printer, there may be no decisions for you to
make - you will simply select your printer name and your printer
may have no available options.  If, however, you have a Hewlett
Packard Laserjet or Deskjet, you will have numerous options.  It's
important to understand that the more options you select, the more
memory Printer Dolly will require.  It may be wise to configure
several small files as opposed to one large file.   This step will
require that you use the Print Disk that contains all of the
building material used to build the control files.  The screen is
designed to be self guiding and it is not necessary to guide you
through each step in the process.  There is, however, one caution:
the program will allow you to select, for instance, a Hewlett
Packard Deskjet printer and then select cartridges for a LaserJet
as additional options.  You must make sure you select the proper
options.  If you make a mistake, you can scrap out or delete the
.DCF file and start this process over.

4.2 Assignment of "Autoload" slots.

 4.2.1 Purpose of Autoload Slots.
Printer Dolly contains three Autoload Slots that allow you to
quickly switch control files without having to enter the name of
the control file.  Autoload slot #1 is unique in that the file
defined in this slot is the initial file that appears in the pop up
window when the resident program is first executed.   Depending
upon the complexity of your printer environment you will, at a
minimum, want to use Autoload Slot #1 and assign it to what may be
your only control file.  If you are using a laser printer with more
than one cartridge or if you are using more than one printer, you
will want to use two or three Autoload Slots.

 4.2.2 The Configuration Screen.
Upon selection of this function, the standard configuration screen
is displayed.  This screen contains information on all defaults
that can be modified.   The large window in the lower left portion
lists up to 19 .DCF files that exist in the current directory.  If
this window is blank, you are either in the wrong directory or you
have not created any .DCF files.   The window in the upper left
portion of the screen lists the Autoload Slots, the control files
occupying those slots, and the LPT to which they are assigned.  If
this section is blank, the Autoload Slots have not been assigned.
The window in the upper right portion of the screen contains
information for other configuration functions.  The first entry,
TSR SIZE is of importance at this point in the configuration,
however.  TSR SIZE is the amount of memory that will be required
for the resident Printer Dolly program.  It is determined by adding
the size of the largest .DCF file in the subdirectory to the core
size of the resident Printer Dolly program.  If this is too large
for your needs, you should return to step 4.1 and configure smaller
.DCF files and delete the large files.   The lower right portion of
the screen contains the conversation instructions to guide you
through the current configuration step.

 4.2.3 Assigning Autoload Slots.
This simple four step process asks (1) for a .DCF file number, (2)
the Autoload Slot number, (3) the LPT that will connect to the
printer, and (4) gives you a choice of scraping out with no update,
exiting with update, or making another assignment.

You may return to this screen at any time to review the Autoload
Slot assignments.  If you are using multiple slots, you should use
slot #1 for your most common control file or printer.
When the resident Printer Dolly program is active, the selection
AUTOLOAD NEW CONTROL FILE will instantly load the next slot
progressing from 1 to 2 to 3 and then back to 1.

4.3 Selection of Screen Colors.
The default colors for the Printer Dolly pop up window are white
foreground and black background.  This function allows you to
modify these defaults.  It is recommended that the foreground color
be a light color that is easily noticeable when intensified.  This
is because the pop up program always intensifies the Mode Of
Operation since it is critical that you always be aware of the
current mode.

As you alter the foreground and background colors, the appropriate
part of the upper right window reflects the results of your
selection.  The conversation to select the colors is designed to be
self guiding.

4.4 Selection of Hot Key for Pop Up.
The Printer Dolly memory resident program, after being installed,
is invoked by what is called a "Hot Key" combination.  The default
is ALT F1 meaning that the ALT key and the F1 key must be depressed
at the same time to pop up the window and transfer control from
whatever you were doing to Printer Dolly.

This step in the configuration allows you to select a key other
than F1 to go along with the ALT key.  As you scroll through the
choices, the current choice is displayed in the upper right window.
The instructions in the conversation window will guide you through
this selection.

4.5 Acknowledgement Beep.
When sending commands to printers, the resident program will
provide audio and visual confirmation or error acknowledgement if
you desire.  Some computers that are not 100% IBM compatible cannot
provide for the precise timing required for this feature.  If you
have a problem with this feature, you should not enable this
option.  Typical symptoms on non compatible computers will be
either a very long beep or a beep that never ends.  If you
configure the beep as active, the feature may still be silenced at
any time during resident operation by simply hitting the "S"
(sound) key.

4.6 Modify Document Insert Flags.
After you complete the section on command processing and the
DOCUMENT INSERT MODE, you will understand that these two flag
characters are used to signal a command within your document.  They
have to be unique from anything else sent to the printer.  You may
change these characters to meet your needs.   Follow the
instructions in the lower right window to modify this default as
necessary.

4.7 Specify Initial Mode of Operation.
When the Printer Dolly window first pops up after it is installed,
the default Mode Of Operation is IMMEDIATE MODE.  This step allows
you to modify this default to either DELAY MODE or DOCUMENT INSERT
MODE.   Follow the instructions in the lower right window to modify
this default as necessary.
5. THE BASIC STEPS TO USE PRINTER DOLLY.

5.1 Loading the Program.
The Printer Dolly resident program is named DOL.COM.  To start
using the program, simply enter DOL after making sure you are in
the proper subdirectory.  It is recommended that if you want the
program available at all times, you make the install automatic by
modifying your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in your root directory to
automatically install Printer Dolly when your computer is turned
on.

5.2 Activating and Erasing the Window.
The window is activated by depressing the ALT key and, at the same
time, depressing the other hot key.  If you did not override the
hot key defaults in the configuration step, F1 is the other hot
key.  To make sure of the proper hot key, the proper combination is
displayed on the initialization message when DOL.COM is executed.

The window will pop up on either the right or left side of your
screen depending upon your cursor position.  Printer Dolly never
covers up your cursor.

To erase the Printer Dolly Window, depress the Escape key and the
window will disappear, returning control to your prior task.

5.3 Scrolling Through the Window.
The most basic way of accessing commands is to use the UP ARROW and
DOWN ARROW keys.  Depression of either of these keys moves the
highlight bar up or down one command.  If you hold either of the
keys down, the window will scroll at a speed dependent upon your
computers speed or settings.

The HOME key will always return the highlight bar to the first
command in the control file.  The END key will always set the
highlight bar to the last command in the control file.

The PGUP and PGDN keys will move the highlight bar to the next or
previous logical grouping of commands.  You should find these keys
convenient for finding your way through the control file commands
when your looking for a specific category.

5.4 Invoking a Command.
Invoking a command consists of moving the highlight bar to the
command and depressing the ENTER key.

It is important to remain aware of the MODE OF OPERATION when
issuing commands.  If, for instance, you depress enter when the
highlight bar is on "TmsRmn Bold Italic 10pt.", that command will
be sent to the printer instantly if you are in IMMEDIATE MODE.  If
you are in DELAY MODE, it will simply be turned on or off.  If you
are in DOCUMENT INSERT MODE, the window will disappear and a short
string of numbers will appear at your cursor location.  These modes
are explained in detail in other sections of this manual.

5.5 Changing a Numeric Value for a Command.
Some printer commands require numeric values that vary.  For
instance, the Set Right Margin command requires definition of where
the margin should be set.

The commands that require numeric values are apparent when viewing
them in the window.  After the description, there is a dash "-" and
a number from one to five digits that usually represents a default
value.  To change this number, the "E" (Edit) key must be
depressed.  This will cause the small ancillary window to pop up
where a message will prompt you to enter the number of your choice.
As soon as you enter your number and hit return, you will see that
the value has changed.

These values will remain changed as long as the control file is
loaded.  However, THEY WILL NOT BE PERMANENTLY SAVED UNLESS YOU
SAVE YOUR CONTROL FILE TO DISK.  This function is covered later.

5.6 Changing the Mode Of Operation.
To toggle between the three modes, you need only to depress the "M"
(Mode) key.   The Mode Of Operation is constantly displayed at the
top of the window, in high intensity, at all times.  The three
Modes Of Operation are:

        IMMEDIATE MODE
        DELAY MODE
        DOCUMENT INSERT MODE

The detail functions of these modes will become apparent as you
read this manual.

5.7 Moving the Ancillary Window.
While the normal pop up window will display on either side of your
screen, you will notice that the ancillary window used for error
messages, warnings, and data entry, pops up in the very center of
your screen.

If you desire, you can move it to another location of your choice.
To do this, depress the "W" (Window) key.  You will get a blank
window.  Use the arrow keys to move the window around until it is
in a place that suites your needs.  The window will continue to pop
up in that location as long as the program is loaded.

6. PRINTER DOLLY SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
The special functions discussed in this section are listed first in
the pop up window.  These special functions differ from the printer
commands that you see listed later in the control file because they
are functions of the Printer Dolly program - not commands to your
printer.

6.1 Changing the LPT assignment.
Although the LPT assignment for a control file is set in the
configuration process, this command will let you change it at any
time.  It is useful if you made a mistake in your configuration or
you have changed the LPT assignment since the configuration.

Activation of this command pops up the ancillary window where you
are prompted to enter 1, 2, or 3.  Printer commands will be
redirected accordingly from that point on.

6.2 Using the Setup Feature.
The Setup feature is one of the most useful functions of this
program.  It allows you to develop a complex set of commands for
your printer, save them under a name of your choice, and send all
of these commands at once with a single operation.

This function is necessary for effective printer control because
printers almost always need numerous commands to meet your desired
needs.  If you had to send each of the required commands, one at a
time, the value of a printer setup program would be marginal.
Commands necessary, for instance, just to setup a laser printer to
print a spreadsheet would include first resetting the printer,
setting all four margins, selecting a font with landscape
orientation, and defining lines per inch.

 6.2.1 Developing a Setup.
When the Mode Of Operation is set to DELAY MODE, selection of a
printer command simply toggles it ON or OFF instead of sending the
command to your printer.  To develop a setup, you need only to turn
ON the commands necessary to meet your needs.

For instance if you wanted to setup your Laserjet II to print a
spreadsheet, you would turn on Reset To Factory Default, the
desired paper size, the top margin, the left and right margins, the
text area and, if you are simply using the internal fonts, the Line
Printer Compressed 8 point landscape font.  Before you save this
combination of commands it might be a good idea to send them to
your printer using the Send Setup to Printer command and then print
something to see if you get the desired results.

You should also note that Printer Dolly is aware of the features of
your printer that can not be turned on at the same time.  For
instance, if you were to turn on Courier 10 cpi Bold and then turn
on Tms Rmn 8pt Proportional, the original Courier selection would
be automatically turned off for you since it is impossible to have
two different fonts turned on at the same time.

 6.2.2 Saving a Printer Setup.
Once you are satisfied with a specific combination of commands, you
should invoke the Save Setup command.  You will be prompted to
enter a name for the Setup.  It can be any string up to 16
characters long.  The Setup in this example might be saved under
the name "WIDE SPREADSHEET."  If that name exists, you will be
asked if you want to replace the prior Setup under that name.  Up
to 15 Setups can be saved for each printer control file.

6.2.3 Retrieving a Printer Setup.
To retrieve a previously saved Setup, simply scroll to the Retrieve
Setup function and hit enter.  The ancillary window will appear
with instructions telling you to use the up and down arrow keys to
scroll through the existing names.  When you find the name you
want, hit enter and the commands in the current control file will
be automatically set ON or OFF with the appropriate numeric values.

 6.2.4 Deleting a Printer Setup.
Since you are limited to fifteen Setups for a single control file,
you may want to delete unneeded Setups from time to time.  The
Delete function is similar to the retrieve function.  Scroll to the
Delete Setup Printer Dolly command, hit enter, a window will appear
instructing you to scroll through the list of existing Setups.
When you find the one you want to delete, hit enter.  As a safety
feature, you will be asked to confirm your intention to delete by
depressing the "D" key.  When this key is depressed you will
receive confirmation of the delete.  The next Setup name will then
be displayed.  When you are done with all deletes, hit the Escape
key to return to normal operation.

 6.2.5 Sending a Setup to the Printer.
This feature instantly sends all commands to the printer that are
set to an ON status.  The commands are sent in the proper sequence
so that they will not produce unexpected results.

6.3 Control File Switching.
For a full understanding of this feature make sure you have read
section 4.2, Assignment of Autoload Slots, in the configuration
section.

Invoking this Printer Dolly command loads the control file that was
defined in the next Autoload Slot.  If Autoload Slot #3 is active,
the file defined in Autoload Slot #1 is loaded.  If an Autoload
Slot was configured empty, it is skipped.

This feature allows you to easily control up to three printers at
the same time.  While this is usually not required for most
computer users, users working on Local Area Networks often have a
choice of three printers assigned to LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3.

6.4 Loading a File by Name.
Although the Autoload Slot feature allows you to switch between
three printer control files, you may desire a wider choice.  This
feature allows you to load a .DCF control file from any directory
on your system.  Invoking this command displays a window prompting
you for the full file qualification.  Loading of an invalid file
can sometimes erase your existing file but this is no problem - you
can simply reload the original file with this or the Autoload Slot
feature.

6.5 Save Control File To Disk.
When printer control files are initially generated in the
configuration step, the numeric values initialized in some of the
control commands may not suit your needs.  Also, you may want for
a control file to always have certain commands turned on.  This
function allows you to change the default numeric values, set any
desired commands on, and save the modified control file to disk.
From that point on, it will always be loaded ready to meet your
needs.

6.6 Manual Escape Sequence.
If Printer Dolly accomplishes its intended function for you, you
may never have to use this feature.  It is suggested that you not
even read this section unless you have found that you need to send
a command to your printer that does not exist in our control files.
However, in the case that we have not done a perfect job of
anticipating all of your needs, the following paragraphs describe
this function.

To use the manual escape function, you will need to become familiar
with the escape sequence commands for your printer and obtain a
copy of an ASCII table showing all 256 characters.

Invoking this feature displays a window that will allow you to
enter a string of up to 47 of the 256 ASCII characters with the
exception of the null character - binary zero.

You will notice, by reading the instructions in the ancillary
window, that the backspace, escape and enter keys have been
replaced by F1, F2, and F3.  This is necessary because the
backspace, escape, and enter characters can be part of the escape
sequence itself.  If you hit the escape key while this window is
displayed, you will get the "left arrow" character which is
actually the escape character - a binary 27.

If you review your ASCII table, you can see that many of the
characters can be sent simply by depressing one of your keyboard
keys.  If you need to include a specific binary value, however, you
may need to hold the ALT key down while entering a specific number,
in decimal, on the numeric keypad.  When you release the ALT key,
the character will appear in the window.  For instance, you can
enter a binary 1 by depressing the ALT key and the 1 key on the
keypad at the same time.  You should see the white smiling face
that is represented by a binary one in ASCII.  To enter the line
feed character, depress ALT and enter 10, etc..

Once you have completed your entry, hit F3 and the escape sequence
will be sent to your printer.

6.7 Command Processing.
Command Processing is required when you need printer control within
a single document.  All of the commands discussed in the prior
sections addressed sending commands to the printer and then sending
normal ASCII text files.  This feature allows you to put printer
commands directly into your documents so that you can switch
typefaces, adjust margins, start and stop underlining, even print
in columns on some printers.

Applications for this feature can be such things as presentation
overheads, announcement flyers, improving the readability of
spreadsheet printouts, reports, letters with large type headings
and smaller type text, or anything else that your printer is
capable of doing.

This feature is best used in conjunction with a full screen editor.
Editors tend to differ from word processors because they develop
normal ASCII text files with no internal control characters except
for line feed and carriage return characters.  Some word processors
will also operate in this ASCII file mode.  The feature will also
work with the DOS EDLIN utility although this utility is very basic
in function and is not pleasant to use.  There are also many good
screen editors on the shareware market.

 6.7.1 Using the DOCUMENT INSERT MODE.
To make effective use of this feature, it is necessary that you
read this section and 6.7.2, the section on Command Processing.

The first step in creating your desired document is to bring up
your full screen editor and, for purposes of this discussion, begin
with a blank screen - in other words you will create a new ASCII
text file.  Before you type anything, pop up the Printer Dolly
window and toggle to the DOCUMENT INSERT MODE by depressing the "M"
key once or twice until you are in that mode.  You can now scroll
down to any printer command and depress the enter key.  The Printer
Dolly window will disappear and a short string of characters will
appear at the current cursor location.  If you haven't modified the
defaults during configuration, you will see the ~| characters
followed by some other characters.  This code is a shorthand code
for the escape sequence that will direct the printer to accept the
command you selected.  These codes are designed to be recognizable,
for instance the code for a page eject is ~|EJECT_, the code for
switching to a Tms Rmn 10 point Italic font in landscape mode is
~|TR10IL.  If you want to obtain a better understanding of this
coding logic, see the README file on the distribution diskette.

If you desire, you could type a few lines of text and insert more
printer commands to become more familiar with this process.
Another method is to load an existing text file into your editor,
move the cursor around the document and insert printer commands at
specified locations.  You must also be aware that the printer
command will not destroy your existing information if your editor
is in insert mode but will destroy characters if you editor is not
in insert mode.  These codes will sometimes make your text look
terrible on the screen, particularly if your inserting them in the
middle of lines, however they will not appear on your printed
output.

To improve the appearance of spreadsheets, print your spreadsheet
to a file and load the file into your full screen editor.  Headings
may have more meaning if in a large bold typeface, the numbers may
be more attractive in different fonts, and specific numbers can
easily be highlighted in bold or underlined to make them stand out.
You can do virtually anything your printer is capable of with this
feature.

 6.7.2 Activating Command Processing.
This section deals with the Printer Dolly command in the window
that says <>COMMAND PROCESSING OFF.  If you invoke this command,
nothing will happen except that it will then say <>COMMAND
PROCESSING IS ACTIVE!!.  Invoking it again will toggle it off.

When you send a text file to the printer that contains imbedded
printer commands, as described in the previous section, Command
Processing should be ACTIVE.  When Command Processing is active, a
background section of the program intercepts these imbedded printer
commands and converts them to commands that your printer can
understand.  If the Command Processing is off, the commands
themselves will print on your printout which would not be desired.

When command processing is active, it is always active - regardless
if the Printer Dolly window is popped up!  It is always looking for
~| in a row and attempts to convert the next few characters to a
printer command.  When you are not printing a file with imbedded
Printer Dolly Commands, it is best to turn off this feature.  As
stated in the configurations section of this manual, these
characters can be changed to anything you desire.

Also, you must be sure that the control file that was used to
develop the imbedded codes must be loaded when the printer file is
sent to the printer.  This is because the background program uses
the loaded control file as a table to look up the real printer
commands.

IMPORTANT! In cases where the wrong control file is loaded or you
are printing a file that naturally has the ~| characters, you will
get and error window with a message "Escape Mismatch, See Printer
Dolly Manual."  You can erase the window and continue by hitting
the escape key but YOUR PRINTOUT WILL BE CORRUPTED.  You should (1)
load the proper control file or (2) turn Command Processing off.
The document will need to be reprinted.

 6.7.3 The HP PCL Strip Function.
Hewlett Packard uses a standard called Printer Control Language
(PCL) for their Laserjet and Deskjet printers.  Manufacturers of
competitive products also use PCL.  Because this standard is
becoming very common, Printer Dolly has been designed with this
feature that applies only to PCL.

Occasionally, you may choose to enhance the printout of a document
that already has printer escape commands imbedded inside of it.  If
these commands are not stripped out, you would not obtain your
desired results when the document is printed.  If you find that the
Setups sent to the printer from Printer Dolly are not having the
expected effect, this is likely the cause.

The solution is to toggle the HP PCL Strip Function ON and retry
the process.  The background program that performs the stripping
can distinguish between Printer Dolly's commands and other commands
so you should not experience any conflicts.  Remember, however,
this feature only works if you are stripping escape sequences in HP
PCL.

7. BATCH PRINTER SETUP
This section assumes that you have read the section on Setups and
Autoload Slots.

This feature allows you to put commands into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
that will automatically send any Setup to your printers when your
computer is turned on.  Actually, these commands can be put into
any batch file or can be entered directly if you desire.

This feature is activated by including parameters on the execute
line when DOL.COM is executed.  The optional parameters must begin
with a back slash "\", followed by a 1, 2, or 3 that indicates the
desired Autoload Slot you are referencing.  Following this must be
the name of the Setup.

For example, assume that you configured a control file in Autoload
Slot #1 and then created a Setup for that control file and that you
named your Setup "SPREADSHEET WIDE".  The lines that you would put
into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file would be as follows:

     CD\PDOLLY
     DOL \1SPREADSHEET WIDE
     CD\

These commands would execute a batch version of Printer Dolly that
would load the control file defined in Autoload Slot #1, look up
the proper Setup, and send this Setup to the LPT you defined in
Autoload Slot #1.  These steps alone, however, would not cause an
install of the memory resident program.  To accomplish a batch
setup and an install, the following commands should be used:
     CD\PDOLLY
     DOL \1SPREADSHEET WIDE
     DOL
     CD\

8. KEYBOARD SUMMARY
Since Printer Dolly uses several keys that require memorization,
the following summary is provided for your review.

"D" (Delete) key -Used in the process of deleting a Setup.  It is
