ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Extended Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The APT Mailing Assistant provides you with an easy way to produce professional
looking envelopes and labels using your personal computer laser or dot matrix
printer. The program supports several sizes of envelopes and mailing labels.
All envelopes and some labels will be printed with United States Postal Service
approved POSTNET delivery point bar codes.

The program supports any Lexmark or HP compatible laser printer, HP compatible
Deskjet printer, or Epson compatible dot matrix printer. Envelopes or labels
may be fed manually or automatically (feeding envelopes automatically will
require an envelope feeder attachment on most printers). When printing single
labels on a laser printer, the program allows you select which label on the
sheet to print, thus allowing you to use most or all of the labels on a sheet.

The primary window of APT Mailing Assistant shows you the return and send names
that will be used when an envelope or label is printed. In addition, a second
window, APTMA Selections, will indicate the address file being used, the
printer type selected, the paper to be used, and if have selected manual or
automatic feeding of paper.

The menu choices on the primary window are used as follows:

o File - Manage address files and manage the printer.

   - Change the current address file being used or create a new one.
   - Delete an address file.
   - List an address file.
   - Merge two address files.
   - Change the printer, paper, or paper feed being used.
   - Print an envelope or label.
   - Exit the APT Mailing Assistant.

o Addresses - Manage names and addresses in an address file

   - Lookup or change a return address.
   - Lookup or change a send address.
   - Save a return address to an address file.
   - Save a send address to an address file.
   - Delete an address from an address file.

o Bulk Mail - Perform bulk mailing

   - Print a bulk mailing using the current address file and paper selected.
   - Print personalized return envelopes for your bulk mailing.
   - Generate statistic on the printer for your bulk mailing.

o Export/Import - Exchange information with other programs.

   - Import a text file. Text files are comma delimited string files.
   - Export a text file.
   - Import a CASS file that has been certified.
   - Export a CASS file. CASS files may be sent to the postal service for
     certification.

address file appears on the first line in the APTMA Selections window.

o Address Files
o Current Address File


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Delete an Address File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option allows you to delete an address file. Both physical files that make
up the address file (the base file and the .PTR file) are deleted. You can also
delete an address file using the OS/2 DEL command as long as both files are
deleted.

o Address Files


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. List an Address File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option allows you to list the addresses in an address file to the display
or on the printer. You can limit the amount of information listed by specifying
you want to only list addresses in a specific city, a specific state, a city
state combination, or within a range of zip codes. The zip code range is
ignored if a city or state is specified.

o Address Files


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Merge Two Address Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This menu allows you to merge an address file into a second address file. If
records with the same name exist in both files, you will be asked if you want
to add the record to the output file, replace the record in the output file, or
ignore the record from the input file. You can limit the records being merged
by specifying you want to only merge addresses from a specific city, a specific
state, a city state combination, or within a range of zip codes. The zip code
range is ignored if a city or state is specified. If the address file being
merged into does not exist, it will be created.

o Address Files


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Print ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option causes a single envelope or label to be printed. The return and
send addresses displayed on the primary window will be printed using the

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. Delete an Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option allows you to delete an address from the current address file. You
will be shown a list of all of the names in the address file and you may select
the one you want to delete.

o Current Address File


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Swap Addresses ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option swaps the send and return addresses in the primary window. This
allows you to easily print a return envelope for an item being sent.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14. Primary Name Field ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This field is required. You should enter the individual or company name to be
used as the return address. If the return address is saved, this name will be
used as the key in the address file.

o Address File Keys.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 15. Intermediate Address Lines ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The second, third, and fourth lines of an address can be used for additional
address information such as company name, street address, P.O. Box, apartment
number etc. The Postal Service has several rules as to the order in which
information should be placed in an address. For example, when sending a letter
to an individual within a company, it is recommended that the person's name is
on the first line of the letter, with the company name as the second line as in
the following example:

    Joe Example

    Widget Manufacturing

    200 Park Ave.

    Hometown, WA 12345-1234

For other rules, please see your local post office. The only rules that APT
Mailing Assistant strictly enforces are:

 1. The first line of the address will be used as the key when the address is
    saved.

 2. The city, state, and zip codes must be specified in the proper fields.

 3. The last completed address line before the city, state, and zip code will
    be used to determine the delivery point code.

 4. Intervening blank lines will not be printed on the envelope or label.

o Delivery Point Codes


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. City ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This field contains the city of the address. It should not be followed by a
comma since APT Mailing Assistant automatically enters a comma after the city
when printing the envelope or label.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. State ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This field contains the two character code for the state of the address. No
verification is done on this field.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18. Zip Code ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This field contains the 5 or 9 digit zip code for the address. It must be in
the form of nnnnn or nnnnn-nnnn. For a send to address, the zip code is used to
calculate the POSTNET bar code printed on envelopes and some labels. When a 9
digit zip code is specified, a delivery point bar code will be included in the
POSTNET code. Delivery point codes make for faster delivery and are required to
be eligible for certain bulk mail discounts.

o Delivery Point Codes


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 19. Change Address Dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This menu allows you to change a send or return address. Any changes made here
will be reflected in the primary window and, if changing a return address, in
the bulk mail window. If you want to look up the address in the current address
file, press the FIND button. To save the address in the current address file,
press the SAVE button.

o Current Address File


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 20. Address File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of the address file you want to use. This must be the base file name,
not the .PTR name.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 21. City ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If a city is entered here, the listing or merge will ignore all addresses in
the address file that are not in this city. This may be used in combination
with the state field to further limit the records selected.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 22. State ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If a state is entered here, the listing or merge will ignore all addresses in
the address file that are not in this state. This may be used in combination
with the city field to further limit the records selected.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 23. Zip Code Range ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If a range of zip codes is entered, the listing or merge will ignore all
addresses in the address file that are not in this range. If the starting zip
code is blank, it is assumed you want to start the list or merge with the
lowest zip code in the address file. If the ending zip code is blank, the list
or merge will continue through the highest zip code in the file.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 24. Display Listing on the Screen ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select the display button if you want the listing displayed on the screen.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 25. Print the Listing on the System Printer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select the print button if you want the listing printed on the system printer.
This selection will ignore the paper feed option and automatically feed paper
from the primary paper tray on a laser printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 26. Bulk Mail ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option will allow you to print a bulk mailing using the current address
file on the selected labels or envelopes. You may limit the mailing to a range
of zip codes, or a certain city or state. You can also print permit boxes when
using envelopes on a laser printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 27. Statistics ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option allows you to obtain a zip code breakdown for your bulk mailing.
You should use the same selection criteria (i.e. zip code range, etc.) as was
used to perform the bulk mailing.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 28. Return Envelopes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option allows you to print personalized return envelopes to include with
your bulk mailing. This option can only be selected if the paper type is an
envelope. You should use the same selection criteria (i.e. zip code range,
etc.) as was used to perform the bulk mailing.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 29. Input Address File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of the address file you want to merge information from. This must be
the base file name, not the .PTR name and the file must exist.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 30. Output Address File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of the address file you want to merge information into. This must be
the base file name, not the .PTR name. If the address file does not exist, it
will be created.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 31. Printer and Paper Setup ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This menu allows you to set the type of printer you have, the type of envelope
or label you want to use, manual or automatic paper feeding for laser printers,
and if you want return addresses printed compressed (17 characters per inch) or
normal (10 characters per inch). Any changes you make here remain in effect for
all printing you do unless you return here to change the settings.

o Paper
o Paper Feed
o Printers
o Return Address


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 32. Printers ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The type of printer you want to use. You may select an HP compatible laser,
Lexmark laser, HP Compatible Deskjet, or Epson compatible dot matrix printer.
If you select an HP laser, most page printers that use the PCL language are
supported.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 33. Paper ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The type of envelope or label you want to use. Return addresses and POSTNET
codes are printed on all envelopes. The size of the label dictates what
information can be printed on them. 4013 and 5160 labels are too small for
POSTNET codes. All other labels will contain POSTNET codes. However, the 5164
laser labels are large enough to contain a return address. Note that this
return address is always printed in compressed format.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 34. Manual or Automatic Feed ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Not available for dot matrix printers. Determines hoe the selected paper will
be fed into your laser printer. If you select automatic feed with an envelope
paper type, your printer should be equiped with an envelope feeder supported by
the PCL language. If it does not have an envelope feeder, the printer will
revert to manual feed no matter what is chosen here. When selecting automatic
feed for labels, APT Mailing Assistant will read labels from the default paper
source in 8 1/2" x 11" sheets.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 35. Return Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The return address is printed on all envelopes and the #64 laser label. You can
choose to have the address printed in compressed type (17 cpi) or in normal
type (10 cpi). If you select to have the return address printed in compressed
type, the return address in the primary window will appear slightly smaller
than the send address.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 36. Export to a Text File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option will export an address file into a comma delimited string text file
that can be imported into most database programs. If you export into an
existing text file, the contents of that file are destroyed. See the User's
Guide for specific information about field sizes.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 37. Export to a CASS File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option will export an address file into a file that can then be sent to
the U.S. Postal Service for CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) certification
of your mailing list. Having a CASS certified mailing list along with a CASS
certified program such as APT Mailing Assistant, can make you eligible for
certain bulk mailing discounts. See the User's Guide for additional information
about CASS certification.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 38. Import from a Text File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option will import a comma delimited string text file into an address
file. Most database programs can export a comma delimited string file. If you
import into an existing address file, the records are merged into the file in
the proper sequence. If there are duplicates in the existing file, you will be
asked to add the record being imported, replace the record in the address file
with the imported record, or ignore the imported record. See the User's Guide
for specific information about field sizes and formats in the import file.

o Duplicate Addresses


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 39. Import from a CASS File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option will import a file that has been CASS certified by the U.S. Postal
Service into a new address file. This operation will not let you import into an
existing address file since this could make CASS of the mailing list invalid.
You can choose to have a certification report generated that lists all of the
warning and error codes found by the Postal Service during the certification
process. The certification report returned with your diskette contains
information on any errors that were found that must be corrected for your list
to be certified. However, the APT Mailing Assistant report includes the
information codes that describe improvements that may be made to the mailing
list to make it "more correct".


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 40. Input Text File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of the text file containing the addresses you want to import. This
must be a comma delimited string text file containing seven fields. The exact
format of the file and the fields is described in the User's Guide.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 41. Input CASS File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of the CASS certified file containing the addresses you want to
import. This is a text file that has been returned to by the U.S. Postal
Service as part of the mailing list certification process. The format of this
file is described in the Coding Accuracy Support System publications available
from the Postal Service.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 42. Output Address File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of the address file you want to import information into. This must be
the base file name, not the .PTR name. When importing from a CASS file this
file must be a new address file and will automatically be created. When
importing from a text file, this file may already exist, in which case the
imported addresses are merged into the existing file.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 43. Input Address File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of the address file containging the information you want to export.
This must be the base file name, not the .PTR name and the file must exist.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 44. Output CASS File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of a file to be used to contain the mailing list that will be sent to
the U.S. Postal Service for certification. This should be a new file name. If
the file already exists, its contents will be destroyed. The format of this
file is described in the Coding Accuracy Support System publications available
from the Postal Service. When the file is built, it should be sent to a
diskette and mailed to the CASS certification center for certification.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 45. Output Text File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The name of the text file you want to contain the exported addresses. This
should be a new file. If the file already exists, its contents will be
destroyed. At the conclusion of the export, this file will contain comma
delimited string information, each record containing seven fields, that can be
imported into most common database programs. The exact format of the file and
the fields is described in the User's Guide.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 46. Duplicate Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This dialog box appears when a duplicate name has been found during a merge or
import operation. A record exists in the output file with the same name as a
record from the input file. You may choose to add the duplicate record to the
output file, replace the record in the output file with the new record from the
input file, or you may ignore the new record from the input file and not place
it in the output file.

o Address File Keys


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 47. Select Label to Print ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This dialog box appears when you are printing a single label using a laser or
deskjet printer. You may choose the specific label on the label sheet you want
to use by selecting the appropriate number. This allows you to reuse a label
sheet many times, thus reducing or eliminating unused labels.

Note:  Several factors influence how many times you can run the same sheet of
       labels through a laser printer, including the quality of the labels and
       the amount of heat generated by the printer. However, you should be able
       to use most, if not all, labels on a sheet.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 48. Find an Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This dialog box appears any time you need to select an address from the current
address file. This may be because you want to find a new send or return
address, or because you want to delete an address. Select the address you want
to use or delete.

o Current Address File


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 49. Duplicate Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This dialog box appears whenever you are trying to add an address to the
current address file and the name already exists in that file. This message
occurs if the name is the same, even if other information in the address is not
identical. You may choose to continue to add the name to the address file
leaving the existing record in the file, replace the record in the file with
the new name, or cancel the add operation.

o Address File Keys
o Current Address File


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 50. Bulk Mailing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This dialog box appears whenever you select bulk mail, statistics, or return
envelopes from the bulk mail menu. All of these operations use the current
address file shown in the APTMA Selections window. From this dialog you can
print your bulk mailing, print statistics for your mailing, and print
personalized return envelopes for your mailing. You can print permit boxes on
your bulk mail envelopes by completing the permit box section. To print permit
boxes you must have a bulk mail (or first class) account at your post office
(see your local post office for more information). This section is not active
if you are printing statistics or return envelopes, or if you have not chosen
envelopes as your paper type.

You may also choose to limit the mailing to a certain range of zip codes.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 52. Bulk Mail Permit Information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you have a bulk mail, nonprofit, or presorted first class permit at the post
office, you can complete the permit information and APT Mailing Assistant will
print a permit box on your envelopes. To get a permit box you must:

 1. be printing on a laser printer.

 2. have selected an envelope as the paper type.

 3. have the proper bulk mail, nonprofit, or first class account at the post
    office and have selected the proper button indicating this.

 4. have selected the bulk mail option (not statistics or return envelopes).

 5. completely fill in the permit number and the city and state of the post
    office holding your account.
For more information about bulk mail permits, chack with your local post
office.

o Bulk Rate Button
o Nonprofit Button
o Presorted First Class Button


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 53. Bulk Rate Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select this button if you are printing permit boxes on your bulk mailing
envelopes and you have a normal bulk rate permit. This causes "BULK RATE" to
appear in the permit box.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 54. Nonprofit Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select this button if you are printing permit boxes on your mailing envelopes
and you have a nonprofit organization permit.This causes "NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION" to appear in the permit box.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 55. Presorted First Class ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select this button if you are printing permit boxes on your mailing envelopes
and you have a presorted first class permit. This causes "PRESORTED FIRST
CLASS" to appear in the permit box.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 56. Zip+4 Discount ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This box is disabled unless you are printing permit boxes on your mailing
envelopes and you have a selected presorted first class.

Check this box if your mailing meets the Postal Service requirements that let
you qualify for the 9 digit zip code discount. This will cause "ZIP+4 BARCODED"
to appear in the permit box.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 57. Address Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Address files are a pair of normal OS/2 files working together to store your
names and addresses. The two parts of an address file are the "base" file whose
name you specify when you create a new address file, and a "pointer" file whose
name is derived from the base name by taking the file name and adding an
extension of .PTR. The base file name you specifiy can be any valid OS/2 name
as long as you do not use an extension of .PTR since this would conflict with
the generated pointer file name. Address files may be moved using normal OS/2
commands as long as the base and pointer files are moved together to the same
location.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 58. Current Address File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The current address file is shown in the APTMA Selections window. This file
will be used whenever you save, delete, or lookup (i,e,Find) an address, or
when you want to do a bulk mailing. It can be changed by the Changing the
Current Address File option in the File menu.

o APTMA Selections
o Changing the Current Address File


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 59. Names and Addresses ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Names and addresses used by the APT Mailing Assistant have a flexible format.
They may be from 2 to 5 lines in length. The first line must always contain the
name of the person or company that is the final destination of the letter or
package. This name will be used as the key to store the name and address when
saved in an address file. The last line of the address (and the menu) must
always contain the city, state, and 5 or 9 digit zip code of the parcel
destination. The intervening 3 lines of address may be used to contain other
information pertinent to the delivery of the parcel. The most important of
these is the delivery point address line. This is the last completed line
before the city, state and zip line and usually contains the street address or
post office box of the destination. This line is used to calculate the delivery
point bar code for those addresses containing 9 digit zip codes. Note that the
delivery point line is the last completed line prior to the city, state, and
zip code line, not neccessarily the 4th line on the menu. Any blank lines on
the menu are not printed on the resulting envelope or label. The remaining two
lines of address may be used to contain company names, department numbers, or
any other information that would aid in the delivery the parcel.

The U.S. Postal Service has many suggestions as to the format of a mailing
address. While the APT Mailing Assistant strictly enforces only a few of these
suggestions, it is a good idea to become familiar with all of them since they
can make your mailing lists consistent and some may be required to obtain
certain bulk mailing discounts.

o Address Files
o Delivery Point Codes


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 60. Address File Keys ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Address files are in sequence by the first line of a name and address.
Duplicate keys are allowed but if you follow the Postal Service's addressing
guidelines, these should be rare. It is permissable to use numbers as the key
(such as a customer number) and this number will print on the first line of an
envelope or label. If you do this, insure you have the person or company that
is the recipient of the parcel as the next address line.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 61. APTMA Selections Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The APTMA Selections window appears at the bottom of the primary window and
indicates the printer, paper, and feed selections you have chosen via the
Printer and Paper Setup option. This window may be minimized but not closed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 62. Add an Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You may add an address to the current address file via the Save Return Address
or Save Send Address options under the Addresses menu. You may also save an
address by pressing the Save pushbutton on the Change Return Address or Change
Send Address windows. If the name you are saving already exists in the current
address file, you will be asked if you want to replace the existing name or add
the new one.

o Address Files

o Current Address File


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 63. Delivery Point Codes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Delivery point codes assist the Post Office in delivery of the mail. These are
calculated from the street number, P.O. Box number, or rural route number of
the send address and the address line containing this information should be the
last completed line before the city, state, and zip code line. The delivery
point is included in the POSTNET bar code when a 9 digit zip code has been
used. Certain bulk mail discounts require a large percentage of the mailing be
delivery point bar coded.
