#$+K Running Applications Manager as your Windows shell
During installation, you are given the option of having Applications Manager be the shell. If you did not choose to run Applications Manager as the shell, you can follow this procedure to change the shell.
You must have the directory containing the Applications Manager program files in your path to run Applications Manager as the shell.
1.	Using any text editor (such as Windows Notepad), modify the shell= line in the SYSTEM.INI file on your workstation to read:
	shell=APPMAN.EXE
Note:  As a safeguard against errors, be sure to create a copy of the SYSTEM.INI file before editing it.
2.	Save the SYSTEM.INI file and exit Windows.
The next time you run Windows, Applications Manager displays as the shell. If the network administrator has created a network startup group (which you cannot see), then the applications or scripts in that startup group run. If you have created a personal startup group (PERSTART.APP), then the applications or scripts in that startup group run. You now have all the standard features and accessories of Windows plus the enhanced networking capabilities of Applications Manager.

#$+K Opening a group window or program item
To access and run an item contained in a group or a subgroup, you open the group window and choose the program's icon.
1.	Select the icon of the group, subgroup, or item you want to open.
	OR
	Double-click on the icon and go to Step 3.
2.	Choose Open from the File menu.
3.	If the password has been set and you attempt to open a group or item for the first time, type in your password.
	The selected group window is restored to the size and arrangement in effect when you last closed it.

#$+K Minimizing a group window
Once you have started a program, you can minimize the group window to an icon to reduce clutter on your workspace.
	Choose the window’s Minimize box (down arrow).
	OR
	Choose Minimize from its Control menu.
	The group window displays as an icon at the bottom of the workspace or at the location it was last opened.

#$+K Resizing group windows
Changing the size of the Applications Manager’s group windows follows standard Windows procedures. Since group windows often contain several item icons, some of them might be out of view after resizing. Checking Auto Arrange Icons in the Options menu assures that the icons automatically rearrange in the resized window. You may also rearrange icons manually after resizing by choosing the Arrange Icons command from the Window menu.
To resize a group window:
1.	Select the window to be resized.
2.	Choose the window corner or border to be moved.
	The mouse pointer changes to a double-arrow pointer as you touch either area.
3.	Drag the corner or border to a new position, using the outline as your guide.
4.	Release the mouse to set the new window boundaries.

#$+K Rearranging group windows
During the course of working with several open group windows, they start overlapping or hiding one another. The Window menu offers display choices to rearrange group windows neatly within the workspace:  Cascade and Tile.
You can use the Cascade command to display all the open group windows in a uniform size and an overlapping view so that the title bar of each window is visible.
You can use the Tile command to arrange all the open group windows so that each fills a portion of the workspace without overlapping. The size of a tiled window varies depending on the number of windows open on your workspace.
Each additional window that is opened displays on top of the rearranged workspace. You can tile or cascade again to include the new window in the arrangement.

#$+K Selecting Wallpaper
The Wallpaper option lets you change background patterns or graphic images from within Applications Manager.  You can display any available bitmap file (.BMP or .RLE file extension).
To select a wallpaper file:
1.	Choose Wallpaper from the Options menu.
	The Wallpaper dialog box displays with the Windows directory as the current directory.
2.	Choose a bitmap file from the Bitmap Filename box.
		OR 
	Type the path and .RLE filename in the Bitmap Filename box.
		OR
	Choose Browse to display another directory containing bitmap files and make your selection.
3.	Select Center or Tile.
4.	Choose OK.

	OR 
--	Choose the Close All command from the Window menu to close all open windows.
If you select Hierarchical on the Window menu and close a parent group, all the subgroups of that parent group also close.

#$+K Adding a Personal Group
In addition to the groups created by the network administrator for user's, Applications Manager allows you as a user to create and maintain personal groups for your personal applications and preferences.
To add a new personal group:
1.	Select New/Personal Group from the File menu.
	The New Personal Group dialog box displays.
2.	Type the description and/or filename of the new group in the Description and Filename text boxes.
	You can create a personal startup group by using the filename PERSTART.APP.
	Shortcut:  If you only enter the description, Applications Manager creates a filename using the first 8 characters of the description plus the .APP extension. If you only enter the filename, Applications Manger creates the description from the filename. 
3.	If you wish to assign a password, check the Password box and type it in the text box.
4.	To create group-specific help, choose Edit Help. When you finish creating help, choose OK.
5.	Choose OK to add the new Personal Group.
6.	Choose Save Group As from the File menu.
7.	Choose OK.
	Personal group files are saved to your Windows directory. If you want to save personal group files to a location other than your Windows directory, use the Save Group As command followed by Save Workspace.
