echo Use the directory command DIR to get the file names: when you look at
echo the filenames you'll see that some have .DOC or .TXT extensions or they
echo have names like readme.txt or readme or read.me. These are your docu-
echo mentation files. To display the text on the screen, use the DOS type
echo command. THE PROPER FORMAT FOR THE TYPE COMMAND IS:
echo TYPE FILENAME.EXT (RETURN)
echo USING THE ACTUAL FILE NAME, FULL EXTENSION AND NO SPACES
echo *** you may stop and start the text scrolling by holding down the control
echo button and pressing S to stop and S to start.
echo Alternately, you can print the documentation by entering
echo COPY FILENAME.EXT PRN (RETURN)

echo Usually the main file which starts things off has a name similar to
echo the name of the program. You start it all off by typing the program
echo name (without the extension) at the DOS prompt:
echo EXAMPLE: ASTROLOG (RETURN)
echo Is the proper way to execute the astrology program which has the
echo executable file ASTROLOG.EXE.

echo ** IT IS WELL ADVISED TO VIEW THE CONTENTS OF BATCH FILES BEFORE STARTING
echo To do so, use the dos TYPE command as you did with document files.

echo run the program. Insert the disk with basic in the A drive and execute
echo your basic with the proper command:

echo Once you have the basic screen on your monitor, you'll need the
echo following commands to run the program.
echo FILES (RETURN) - is the directory command
echo LOAD"FILENAME - loads a file into memory to be run (use the
echo actual file name of the main file)
echo RUN - executes the program now loaded into memory
