        Menuing...

HAMBONE uses "pull-down" ÿmenuing that can be accessed by your 
mouse ÿor the arrow keys. ÿSimply move the high-lighted bar to 
the menu item you wish to select and press ENTER or your ÿLEFT 
mouse button. 

        Press the ESCape key to de-select a menu item.

We ÿdo ÿnot know of any MOUSE drivers that will not work ÿwith 
HAMBONE. ÿÿBe ÿsure ÿto have your MOUSE.COM or ÿother ÿdriving 
software loaded before you use HAMBONE. It makes navigating so 
much easier than using the arrow keys. 

        Scrolling...

You ÿmay also use your MOUSE to scroll through the TEXT ÿfiles 
by pressing the RIGHT and LEFT mouse buttons. ÿYou may use the 
arrow keys, PgUp and PgDn keys if you do not have a mouse. 

        Setting Up...

Be ÿsure ÿto ÿselect ÿ"FILES" ÿand ÿthen ÿselect ÿ"SETUP" ÿÿto 
personalize HAMBONE. ÿIf you wish to turn the sound OFF, ÿthen 
use the SETUP feature. Keep all of the files in HAMBONE.ZIP on 
a single disk or in a common directory. ÿWhile a fixed disk is 
preferrable for speed, a floppy disk is quite adequate. ÿThere 
is nothing special you must do in order to use HAMBONE. ÿIt is 
a straight-forward and simple program to use. 

        Morse Code Feature...

You ÿcan ÿuse the RANDOM code generator to work on ÿyour ÿcode 
studies. Also, any normal DOS text file can be used. ÿPerhaps, 
you ÿwould ÿlike to create a special text file for ÿpracticing 
the ÿcode. ÿBe sure to include the FULL path to the text file. 
(i.e., C:\HAMBONE\PRACTICE.TXT) 

        Creating your own data...

The ÿtest questions as well as the HAMBONE ÿtextbook ÿchapters 
can ÿbe altered with any DOS text editor. ÿWhen ÿaltering ÿthe 
test questions, ÿjust be sure to follow the same encoding that 
is described at the top of each file. 

        Information...

HAMBONE ÿwas ÿwritten by Joe Lincoln (TekMate) ÿand ÿthe ÿTEST

Ham radio is a wonderful hobby and avocation. ÿThe author just 
wants to make your studies easier. ÿWhile HAMBONE can't do ÿit 
all, there may be enough features to "spark" your interest and 
perhaps, lay the groundwork for a study plan. 

Our original ham study guide - HAMPAC is no longer ÿsupported. 
If you find this "old" ÿfile on your favorite BBS, please, ask 
the ÿsysop if they would mind replacing it with HAMBONE. ÿÿYou 
can always get FREE updates by calling LINX BBS. 

Good ÿluck with your studies. ÿThere is enough information ÿin 
HAMBONE ÿto work on your NOVICE, ÿTECHNICIAN or GENERAL ÿclass 
license. ÿWe can also provide EXTRA CLASS information. Please, 
call for details. 

We ÿwill gladly accept any contribution you may wish ÿto ÿmake 
and will acknowledge all inquiries. SASE please.
