III. Description of Personal Recipe Manager III. Description of Personal Recipe Manager
Personal Recipe Manager is a program designed to edit, file, and
print your personal recipes. It is organized much like a box of
index cards with dividing cards. In a recipe card file each
category is labeled on a dividing card, with recipes that fit
into that category placed behind the dividing card. Personal
Recipe Manager has the equivalent of 30 dividing cards, or
categories, and the potential of 105 recipe cards behind each
dividing card, or category. This makes for a file with a total
of 3,150 recipes.
IV. Installation of Personal Recipe Manager IV. Installation of Personal Recipe Manager
Two disk drive systems: Two disk drive systems:
Format a blank disk to be used by Personal Recipe Manager as
a working disk.
Copy the files named PRM.EXE and PRMPREP.EXE onto the
working disk.
Place the working disk into the default drive and run
PRMPREP.EXE. This will initialize the files needed for the
program.
Delete PRMPREP.EXE from the working disk.
The Personal Recipe Manager working disk is now ready to
use.
Hard disk systems: Hard disk systems:
Create a sub-directory for the recipe files to reside in. A
suggested name is PRMFILES. Use the command MD \PRMFILES to
create this sub-directory.
Copy the files named PRM.EXE and PRMPREP.EXE into the
directory for the recipe files. As an alternative, you can
copy the two files into a directory on the hard drive that
has a search path set to it. (i.e. If you placed the files
named PRM.EXE and PRMPREP.EXE into C:\BIN, then the path
should contain C:\BIN. )
Change directory into the recipe files directory. For the
suggested sub-directory use CD \PRMFILES.
Run PRMPREP.EXE to initialize the needed files.

A. Starting Personal Recipe Manager A. Starting Personal Recipe Manager
Two disk drive systems: Two disk drive systems:
Place your working disk into the default drive and run PRM.EXE.
This will start the Personal Recipe Manager program.
Hard disk systems: Hard disk systems:
Change directory into the recipe files sub-directory.
Run the program PRM.EXE. This will start the Personal Recipe
Manager program.
B. Main Menu B. Main Menu
When you start Personal Recipe Manager you will be placed at the
main menu. This will give you a list of thirty possible
categories. These categories are displayed in alphabetical
order. The first time that you run Personal Recipe Manager, you
will not have any categories set up for you. In the main menu
you can select any one of five functions. These functions are:
Look in a category
Add a new category
Rename a category
Delete a category
Quit program
We will take a look at each one of these functions.

1. Look in a category 1. Look in a category
When you select this option you will be asked for the number of
the category to look in. You will then enter the category
number. If you enter an invalid number you will be returned back
to the main menu. If you enter the number of an existing
category, you will be shown the first fifteen recipe titles in
the category, and you will be place at the category menu. The
recipes are displayed in alphabetical order. The category menu
has the following choices:
Read a recipe
Add a recipe
Delete a recipe
Edit a recipe
Move a recipe to a different category
Page down in recipe titles
Page up in recipe titles
Quit category
We will talk about each of these a little later.
2. Add a new category 2. Add a new category
When you select this option, you will be asked for the name of
the new category. You can enter any name you choose. A name
can have spaces, numbers, letters and punctuation in it. It can
be up to 25 characters in length. Once you have entered the name
that you want, just press the return and the new category will be
created, and you will be returned to the main menu.
3. Rename a category 3. Rename a category
When you select this option, you will be prompted for the number
of the category that you wish to rename. If you enter an invalid
category number, you will be returned to the main menu. Once you
enter a valid category number, you will be asked for the new name
for the category. Once you have entered the new category name
and have pressed the return key, you will be place back into the
main menu.
4. Delete a category 4. Delete a category
Selecting this option will allow you to delete an entire category
and the recipes that the category may contain. Once you delete a
category, you cannot retrieve any of the recipes that it may have
contained. After selecting this option you will be asked for the
number of the category that you wish to delete. If you enter an
invalid category number, you will be returned to the main menu
without any further action. If you enter a valid category
number, the program will display the name of the category and ask
you if you really want to delete the category. If you answer

"Y" or "y", then the category will be deleted. If you press any
other key the category will not be deleted. After this you will
be returned to the main menu.
5. Quit program 5. Quit program
Selecting this option will cause you to exit from the Personal
Recipe Manager, and return to DOS.
C. Category Menu C. Category Menu
When you enter an existing category, you will be shown the first
fifteen recipe titles in the category, and you will be place at
the category menu. The recipes are displayed in alphabetical
order. The category menu has the following choices:
Read a recipe
Add a recipe
Delete a recipe
Edit a recipe
Move a recipe to a different category
Page down in recipe titles
Page up in recipe titles
Quit category
These functions will be used to create, modify, delete, read, and
print recipes.
1. Read a recipe 1. Read a recipe
When you select this option of the category menu, you will be
prompted for the number of the recipe that you wish to view. If
you enter a number that is not a valid recipe number, you will be
returned to the category menu. After you select a valid recipe
number, that recipe will be displayed to you one page at a time.
When you reach the bottom of the recipe, you will be given the
opportunity to print the recipe if you desire. If you select
the print option, you will be asked whether to print directly to
the printer, or to send the recipe to a DOS file. If you select
the printer option then you will need to make sure that your
printer is on and the paper is set at the top of the page. Once
your printer is ready, press any key to start the printing. If
you select the file option, you will be prompted for the name of
the file to place the recipe into. After you have done this, a
copy of the recipe will be placed into the named file. One
reason for the ability to place a recipe into a file is to allow
you the chance to include recipes into a word processor. After
you have finished with reading and printing a recipe, you will
be returned to the category menu.

you select a valid recipe number the name of the recipe will be
displayed, and you will be asked if you really want to delete the

deleted. Otherwise, the recipe will not be deleted.

given the name of the recipe. At this point you can make changes
to the name if it is needed. Once you enter the name, you will
be placed into the editor with the recipe you wish to modify.
Make any changes you wish, and press F1 to save the recipe and
return to the category menu. See the section "Editor Functions
and Features" for more information on the editor.
5. Move a recipe to a different category 5. Move a recipe to a different category
Selecting this option will allow you to move a recipe to a
different category. This feature allows you to arrange your
recipes in different ways as you add and remove recipes. When
you make this selection, you will be prompted for the number of
the recipe that you wish to move. If you enter an invalid
recipe number, you will be returned to the category menu. Once
you select a valid recipe number the recipe will be removed from
the current category. You will then be shown the list of
categories and asked to enter the number of the category to move

will be placed in that category.
