}
 
{LIST_BOX

------------------
USING THE LIST BOX
------------------ 
 
The List Box allows you to select from a group of options, such as
file names or page titles. The item with the dotted border around it
represents the currently active item. If the list contains file names
a solid bar across the top of the list box shows you which drive and
directory is currently active. Choose a different item by using the UP
and DOWN arrow keys along with the PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN and HOME and END
keys. When the dotted border surrounds the item you want, press ENTER
to select it. 

To advance directly to items beginning with a specific letter, simply
type the letter and QuikMenu finds the first item in the list that
starts with that letter. Press the letter again to view the next item.

 
You may also use the mouse to scroll through the list and select an
item. Clicking the  and  buttons will move the window one item at a
time. Clicking and dragging the scroll button up or down allows you to
scroll quickly through the list. You can also scroll one page at a
time by clicking the shaded area between the   buttons and the
scroll button. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------
IF THE LIST BOX CONTAINS FILES...

Drives, directories and files each appear with a different icon symbol
to the left of the item. Selecting a directory displays a list of all
files within that directory. Selecting the parent directory (..),
moves you up one level in the directory tree, while the (\) symbol
takes you all the way back to the root directory of the current drive.
If there are more files and directories than will fit in the list box,
use the scroll buttons to bring additional items into view.

The Find option allows you to change the types of files displayed in
the List Files window and to search across an entire drive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

To cancel this option, select the Cancel button or press ESC. 
}

{DIR_MASK

----------------------
USING THE FIND COMMAND
----------------------

The Find option allows you to change what type of files will be
displayed in the List Files window.

You may use any standard DOS file name specifications; for example,
the wild card options * and ?, parts of file names, parts of
extensions or even full file names. Leave the Directory Mask field
blank to display only *.BAT, *.COM and *.EXE files.

Select the Search Entire Drive option (Alt/S) to locate files
regardless of which directory they're in.
}
 
{SEND_MAIL
 
------------
SENDING MAIL
------------
 
You can send electronic mail (E-Mail) to anyone on your network who is
using QuikMenu. You have a choice of creating your message with the
built-in mail editor (Alt/E) or sending an ASCII text file (Alt/F)
created with another program, such as a word processor.
 
USING THE MAIL EDITOR
 
If you select Use Mail Editor, QuikMenu will display the Mail Editor
screen where you can type the text for your messages.
 
SENDING A TEXT FILE
 
To send a text file, you must first create the message in another
program. This feature is handy when, for example, you've already
written a memo in your word processor and want to send it to another
user. For best results, you should convert the file to ASCII text
before sending it as mail.
}

{ADDRESS_MAIL

---------------
ADDRESSING MAIL
---------------

Enter the name of the person you wish to receive the mail in the To
field. You can select from a list of available users by choosing the
F5=List button. To send mail to multiple users, enter the additional
names separated by spaces.

Choosing Send To All Users (Alt/S) will send mail to everyone using
QuikMenu on the network.

The Subject field is optional and will appear on the message line in
the receiver's mailbox.
}

{MAILBOX

--------------------------
USING THE QUIKMENU MAILBOX
--------------------------

Your user name and the number of messages waiting for you will appear
at the top of the mailbox. If you have messages, the mailbox lists the
date, time, sender and subject of each message. From here, you can
view messages, send and reply to mail, or print, save and delete
messages.

To view a message, use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to highlight the
desired entry and press ENTER. If you have a mouse, simply click the
desired message. QuikMenu immediately displays the selected message on
the screen.

To end your Mail session, select the Done command with the mouse or
press ESC.

 NOTE: You can also access the Mail option, if you have mail in your
  mailbox, by clicking the envelope symbol in the upper left corner of
  the screen.
}

{VIEWING_MAIL

------------
VIEWING MAIL
------------

Once you've reviewed an E-mail message, you can choose one of the
command buttons at the top of the mail viewer screen.

Reply          (Alt/R) The reply option allows you to quickly send a
               response to the user who sent the message. Type your
               message in the text editor and select Send (Alt/S). The
               message will be automatically addressed and sent.

Forward Mail   (Alt/F) The Forward Mail option allows you pass the
               message along to someone else on the network. You can
               forward to more than one person by entering more than
               one user name.

Copy to File   (Alt/C) Use the Copy command to save messages outside
               of QuikMenu. For example, you may want to save a
               message to a file in your word processor's directory.
               You will need to enter the complete path along with a
               file name (for example: C:\WPFILES\MEMO.TXT).

Print          (Alt/P) This option prints a hard copy of the current
               message.

Delete         (Alt/L) Use this option to remove old messages from
               your mailbox. Messages stay in your mailbox until
               they're deleted.

Done           (Alt/D) Leaves the mail viewer and returns to the
               mailbox screen. You will be asked if you want to delete
               the current message before exiting the viewer.
}

{SETUP_PALETTE

-------------
PALETTE SETUP
-------------

If you have a VGA monitor, you can modify the palette of colors that
QuikMenu uses to display your menu on the screen. The palette command
allows you to change the percentages of cyan, magenta and yellow that
compose each color.

Select a color to modify by clicking one of the color boxes with the
mouse or by pressing ALT/O or SHIFT/ALT/O. Next, click the (+) or (-)
buttons next to the desired color control with the mouse. Using the
keyboard press ALT/C or SHIFT/ALT/C for Cyan, ALT/M or SHIFT/ALT/M for
Magenta, ALT/Y or SHIFT/ALT/Y for Yellow or ALT/B or SHIFT/ALT/B for
Brightness.

The percentage of color is indicated by the graph and numeric value
next to the (+) button. The Brightness control adds (+) or subtracts
(-) equal amounts of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow simultaneously.
If you dislike the new colors, the original settings may be restored
by selecting the Default button (ALT/D).

 NOTE: Color changes appear only while in QuikMenu and should not
  interfere with other programs. Your color scheme may be saved under
  a special name by using the Save Colors command under the Setup/
  Screen button.
}

{SETUP_MAIL

----------
MAIL SETUP
----------

Select the Check Mailbox Continuously option if you want QuikMenu to
check your mailbox every 10 seconds while QuikMenu is on the screen.
You will be notified of new mail arrivals as they occur. If this
option is turned off QuikMenu will only check your mailbox when: (1)
you first start QuikMenu; (2) after running a program or DOS option;
or (3) when you manually activate the Mail command from the Utilities
menu.

You can also specify and/or hide a directory where QuikMenu will send 
and receive mail.

 NOTE: The Mail directory must be the same for all users accessing
  the Mail feature. The directory must be accessible to all users and
  all users must have Read, Write and Delete privileges in the
  directory.
}

{SETUP_DISPLAY

------------
SCREEN SETUP
------------

Color               (ALT/O) Changes the color of the selected
                    QuikMenu item. To select an item, choose the
                    F5=List button and choose from the list of 
                    interface elements, such as the menu background, 
                    command buttons, etc. Scroll down the list using 
                    the mouse or arrow keys until the desired item 
                    is highlighted. Press ENTER or click the item 
                    with the mouse. Press ALT/O or SHIFT/ALT/O 
                    until the desired color is highlighted or click 
                    on the color with the mouse.

Load Color/         Use Save to save your color scheme under a name
Save Color          you specify. Use Load to import a previously
                    saved color scheme.

Default             (ALT/E) Lets you set all your screen color
                    selections back to the original default values. 

Use PCX Image       (ALT/P) If you have any PCX graphics files
                    created by draw or paint programs, you can use
                    one of those files as your menu background.
                    Select this option if you want to use such a
                    file. See Choose File below.

Choose File         (ALT/F) Lets you select from a list of .PCX files
                    (if any) on your computer system.

Sound Effects       (ALT/S) QuikMenu occasionally emits audible beeps
                    and tones in response to certain menu actions. If
                    you'd prefer not to hear them, simply turn this
                    option off. (Default is off.)

Confirm...          (ALT/C) Requests a confirmation (Yes/No) before
                    running a program. Confirm also affects the DOS
                    and Exit commands. Page Buttons are not affected
                    and some password settings supersede this option.

3-D Interface       (ALT/I) Allows QuikMenu's three-dimensional
                    interface to be turned off.

Display Speed Keys  (ALT/D) Allows the speed key character in front
                    of the icon text to be turned off. All speed keys
                    remain fully functional; the only difference is
                    that they are not displayed.

Display Grid        (ALT/G) Displays a grid for reference when
                    positioning and sizing icons on the menu.

Snap To Grid        (ALT/N) Automatically snaps icons to the grid
                    when positioning and sizing menu icons. The grid
                    need not be visible to use this feature.

PCX Memory Options  Use these boxes to specify the type of memory
                    present on your system, into which QuikMenu can
                    load a background wallpaper image.
}

{SETUP_CLOCK

---------------
DATE/TIME SETUP
---------------

This is probably as simple as it appears, much like setting a digital
watch. Backspace (if necessary) over the existing numbers and type the
new information. Press TAB to move to the next field. Indicate whether
the time is AM (ALT/A) or PM (ALT/P). You may also, indicate whether
you are using a 12-Hour or 24-Hour clock by clicking on the Hour
option (ALT/H).

 NOTE: This function may not work correctly on some PC's and XT's
  since there is no standard among clock cards used by these machines.
  In any event, the worst that could happen is that your computer will
  forget the time when it's turned off.
}

{SETUP_PASSWORD

--------------
PASSWORD SETUP
--------------

The Password function is used to prevent unauthorized users from
running the DOS Shell, modifying the menu, viewing the Time Log, using
the File Manager and leaving QuikMenu.

Select the command you want to protect by using the F5=List option.
Your selection will appear in the box next to the List button. Type
your password in the text field. Select Hide This Button (Alt/H) if
you do not want the button to display on the menu.

Hidden command buttons cannot be accessed via the mouse. Keyboard
access, however, is still available. Functions that are to have
restricted access should also be password protected. Some commands
cannot be hidden, others cannot be protected. The options available
vary according to the command you select from the List Box. For
example, if a command cannot be password protected, the Password entry
box will not be visible.

If you use this feature, be sure to remember your passwords. A
forgotten password means you will not be able to access the protected
options. 

The Master Password item on the list should be assigned by
an administrator or other person so that the normal passwords may be
overridden should the system's user forget a password or should that
person become ill or quit (or even if the kids accidently assign
a password to your system). Usually, the Master Password should be 
written down and kept in a secure place.

 NOTE: If you hide the Modify button it can be activated by pressing
  ALT/M.
}

{SETUP_LOG

--------------
TIME LOG SETUP
--------------

The Time Log option allows you to turn the time log on or off and to
change the name of the log file. The default name for the log file is
QM.LOG. The information in the Time Log can be accessed via the Log
command button in the Utility menu.
}

{SETUP_MOUSE

-----------
MOUSE SETUP
-----------

Use this option to adjust the sensitivity of your mouse. The higher
the setting (Slow/Medium/Fast), the less desk space you'll need to
move the mouse across the screen.
}

{SETUP_DIALER

------------
DIALER SETUP
------------

If you have a Hayes compatible modem, use this option to tell QuikMenu
which port it's attached to by selecting the appropriate COM button
(Com1..Com4). If you have a modem, but you're not sure which port it's
using, there is a general rule of thumb: if you don't have a mouse,
your modem is probably on Com1, and if you do have a mouse, your modem
is probably on Com2. You may also need to tell QuikMenu whether your
telephone company expects a Pulse or Tone type phone.

 NOTE: Com3 and Com4 may not work with some systems since they are
  not directly supported by DOS.
}

{SETUP_BLANKER

--------------------
SCREEN BLANKER SETUP
--------------------

The Screen Blank function lets you choose an option that displays if
no keyboard or mouse activity occurs after a specified number of
minutes. This screen-saver helps to protect your monitor if you leave
your QuikMenu screen unattended for periods of time.

Select one of the screen blank options from the list by pressing the
ALT key and the underlined letter in the option name.

One option, Screen Shuffle (Alt/S), requires a choice of Small
(Alt/A), Medium (Alt/M) or Large (Alt/L). Screen Shuffle displays a
continuously overlapping series of rectangles on the screen. Your
determines the size of the rectangles.

Preview   You can see how each screen blank option looks on your
          screen before you finalize your decision. The preview will
          stay on the screen until you move the mouse or press a key.

Interval  Use the Interval option to enter how many minutes should
          elapse before the Screen Blank option is activated.
          Backspace (if necessary) over the existing number and type
          your selection. Enter a 0 (zero) here to turn the screen
          blanker off.

 NOTE: The screen blanker only works while you are in QuikMenu, not
  in other programs.
}

{SETUP_MAIN

-----------------------
USING THE SETUP COMMAND
-----------------------

The Setup option provides you with the ability to personalize many
features of QuikMenu. You can use Setup to change the background
color, set the date and time, change the mouse speed, password protect
many QuikMenu functions, set the Time Log and tell the Dialer where to
find your modem.
}

{LOG_SORT

-------------------------
CREATING YOUR OWN REPORTS
-------------------------

The Time Log Search option allows you to change the search criteria,
the date range or the format of the log report.

Report Title   This is the heading that will appear at the top of each
               page when your report is printed. The heading can also
               be seen at the top of the QuikMenu screen in the Title
               Bar.

Sort By        Select the Program button (Alt/P) to sort log entries
               alphabetically by name. Choose the Date button (Alt/D)
               to sort log entries in chronological order.

View As        This option controls the level of detail displayed by
               the Time Log. The Summary option (Alt/S) displays each
               log entry only once and shows the total number of times
               and percentage of total daily time each item was used.
               The Detail option (Alt/D) shows time in, time out,
               total time, and, on networks, user name for each item.

Find...        Use this option to locate specific programs or projects
               within the Time Log. For example, typing "Word" might
               find entries for "WordPerfect," "Wordstar" and "Word
               Processing," anything that begins with "Word." Items
               like "The Word" and "Windows Word" would not be found
               because they do not begin with "Word." To find all
               entries, leave this field blank.

Start Date     You may want to create a report for a specific range of
               dates. In the text fields, type in the month, day and
               year for the beginning of the report. Use the Tab key
               to move from field to field. Leave these fields blank
               to search from the beginning of the file.

End Date       In the text fields, type in the month, day and year for
               the end of the report. Use the Tab key to move from
               field to field. Leave these fields blank to search from
               the start date to today's date.

Match User...  Enter a name in this field to limit the log report to
               a specific user. Leave this field blank to show
               activity for all users. (Networks only.)

 NOTE: If both the Start Date and End Date are blank, all entries
  will be searched.
}

{LOG

------------------
USING THE TIME LOG
------------------

QuikMenu's Time Log is a valuable resource for consultants,
secretaries, lawyers or anyone who keeps track of expenses on the
basis of time. This can also serve to track computer usage for
tax purposes. The Time Log allows you to view, sort and print a
variety of reports based on how long and how often you use your
computer.

The log keeps track of programs by the name you assign to your
Software Icons. It may be helpful to keep a separate page of Icons for
specific projects and give each icon a unique project name. For
example, page 6 might contain a "Jones Word Processor," a "Jones
Database" and a "Jones Spreadsheet."

All Time Log information is stored in a file, usually in the QuikMenu
directory on your hard drive. The default log file name is QM.LOG. You
can change the name of this file, as well as turn the Time Log on and
off, from within the Setup dialog box.

Once the Time Log is activated, it becomes completely transparent to
the user. Simply use the menu as you always have - running programs,
DOS operations, etc. and QuikMenu will automatically record when and
how long you access each program.


Search    (ALT/S) The Search option allows you to change the search
          criteria, the date range or the format of the log report.

Print     (ALT/P) Select the Print option to send the Time Log report
          to your printer. Printed Time Log reports are very similar
          to the ones displayed on the screen, with the exception of

{ICON_EDITOR

---------------------
USING THE ICON EDITOR
---------------------

Each QuikMenu icon is composed of 1024 pixels (dots) displayed on the
screen in a grid 32 pixels high and 32 pixels wide. Icons are created
by assigning colors to each pixel in the grid to produce various
shapes and patterns.

DRAWING WITH THE KEYBOARD: In the upper left corner of the drawing
area is a tiny cross hair. Using the cursor keys, position the cross
hair in the drawing area where you want to begin painting. Next, hold
down the SHIFT key and press one of the cursor keys again. As the
cross hair moves over the drawing area, it leaves a trail of pigment
(the current pen color).

DRAWING WITH THE MOUSE: Move the mouse pointer into the drawing area
where you want to begin drawing. Press and hold the mouse button. Your
drawing will start at this point. While holding the mouse button down,
slide the mouse in any direction. Notice that the mouse leaves a trail
of pigment as it moves across the drawing area.

Icon           (ALT/I) Select this button to modify the icon. This
               button will already be activated when you start the
               icon editor.

Mask           (ALT/M) Select this button to modify the icon's mask.
               The mask is almost always identical to the icon, except
               that it's entirely composed of black pixels.

Invert         (ALT/N) The Invert option will reverse all colors in
               the drawing area.

Copy           (ALT/C) The Copy Mask/Icon option is usually used in
               the Mask mode to copy the icon image to the mask.

Clear          (ALT/E) Selecting Clear will erase the current drawing
               area.

Export         (ALT/X) The Export feature allows you to save an
               individual icon image for use on another system.

Import         (ALT/T) The Import function allows you to load an icon
               image or PCX file into the icon editor.

Pen Color      (ALT/P, SHIFT/ALT/P) Pen or drawing colors can be
               selected one of two ways: either by clicking a color
               with the mouse, or by holding down the ALT key and
               pressing the letter P until the desired color is
               highlighted.

Up,Dn,Lt,Rt    (ALT/U, ALT/D, ALT/L, ALT/R) These commands allow you
               to shift the icon image or mask. Just click on the
               button indicating the direction you want the image to
               shift.

Save           (ENTER) Selecting Save updates the icon list and writes
               any changes you may have made to the disk.

Cancel         (ESC) Choose cancel to abandon any changes made during
               this editing session.
}

{ICON_IMPORT

---------------
IMPORTING ICONS
---------------

The Import function allows you to retrieve:

* icons that have been saved using QuikMenu's Export feature
* Icons from Microsoft Windows version 3.X
* A portion of a PCX file to use as an icon

Icon      Select this option to import an icon created by QuikMenu or
          Microsoft Windows.

PCX File  Use this option to clip a portion of a PCX file to use as an
          icon.

 NOTE: Compatible Windows icons use the .ICO extension.
}

{ICON_EXPORT

---------------
EXPORTING ICONS
---------------

The Export feature allows you to save an individual icon image for use
on another system. Export can also be used to copy an icon. This is
done by exporting the icon, selecting Add (Alt/A) from the Icon
Selector and then importing the icon into a blank drawing area.

Enter the drive, directory and file name you wish to use for the
exported icon. 
          For example: C:\QUIKMENU\SAMPLE.PCX 
To export the icon as a PCX file, add the letters ".PCX" as an 
extension to the filename (as in the example above). To export as a 
NeoPaint stamp image, substitute the letters "ST" following the 
period. Windows icons may be denoted by using a ".ICO" extension.
QuikMenu will automatically add the ".ICO" extension and export the
icon in Windows format if no extension is provided.

 NOTE: Due to format incompatibilities color icons cannot be
  transferred to monochrome or CGA systems, and monochrome or CGA
  icons cannot be transferred to color systems. This limitation can be
  avoided by adding an .ICX extension to the icon's file name during
  the export procedure.
}

{ICON_SELECT

-----------------------
USING THE ICON SELECTOR
-----------------------

The Icon Selector allows you to choose an icon image to represent an
item on the menu. For example, you could use a filing cabinet icon to
represent a database or a pencil icon to represent a word processor.

The Icon Selector is actually very simple to use. A movable window in
the center of the dialog box displays 50 icons at a time. The square
box inside the icon window represents the currently selected icon. Use
the Arrow keys, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, HOME and END keys to select an
icon from the list. You may also select an icon by clicking the icon
with the mouse. When the desired icon is highlighted, select the Ok
button to tell QuikMenu that's the one you want to use.

Add       (ALT/A) Select this option to create a new icon.

Edit      (ALT/E) Use this option to modify an existing icon.

The Add and Edit command buttons are used to activate the Icon Editor.
QuikMenu's Icon Editor allows you to edit existing icons as well as
create icons of your own.

        QuikMenu contains several predefined icon shapes for you to
          choose from. To change the icon shape press the PAGE UP,
          PAGE DOWN, HOME and END keys on your keyboard. If you have
          a mouse, click the   buttons.

Icon      Use the Icon Selector to choose an icon image to represent
          an item on the menu. For example, you could use a filing
          cabinet icon to represent a database or a pencil icon to
          represent a word processor.

Color     The Color option allows you to choose separate colors for
          the fill, text and border areas of the icon.

Font      The Font option allows you to change the font style and
          point size of an icon.

The Alignment option lets you position the text within an icon either
to the Left (Alt/L), in the Center/Below (Alt/C) or to the Right
(Alt/R).

Different icon shapes will react differently to the alignment
settings.
}

{EDIT_PROGRAM_ITEM

----------------------
EDITING SOFTWARE ICONS
----------------------

Software Icons allow you to run programs, format disks, backup
directories and perform other tasks. For example, a typical QuikMenu
user might create a Software Icon called WordPerfect to represent
their word processing software. The icon makes loading WordPerfect as
easy as pressing a single key or clicking the mouse.

Speed Key      This is the key on your keyboard that will be used to
               activate the Software Icon. Valid choices are the
               letters A through Z, numbers 0 through 9 and
               characters: @ # $ & * ( ) + { } [ ] : ; ? ! / | \ " ^
               - _ ~ . , << >> = ` '. 

Name           This is the text that will appear inside the Software
               Icon when it's displayed on the screen. Text may be
               displayed on multiple lines by using a tilde (~) 
               character to represent line breaks.

Location       This is the drive/directory location for the program or
               DOS option. E.g., C:\WP51. See List Programs below.

Command        This is the command that DOS uses to activate the
               program or DOS option. For example, if you normally
               load your word processor by typing WP at the DOS prompt
               (C:\), then enter WP here. Your software or DOS manuals
               are the best place to find this information. (See List
               Programs below.) QuikMenu III contains a number of very
               powerful command line features. Please refer to the
               README.DOC file or to your User's Guide for details.

List Programs  (F5) This is an alternative method for filling in the
               Location and Command fields above. This options lists
               the executable programs (*.BAT, *.COM and *.EXE) 
               installed on your system. Simply highlight the program 
               you want and press ENTER. The Location and Command 
               fields will be automatically filled in.

Password       The Password option allows you to prevent unauthorized
               users from activating and/or modifying the icon.

Style          Use the Style option to select icon, color, font and
               alignment choices to represent the icon on the menu.

Pause          (ALT/P) Select this option if you want the program to
               pause after it's finished and prompt you with a "Strike
               any key when ready..." message.

Ask...         (ALT/A) Inserts a question ([Select A File=*.*]) into
               the Command field requesting QuikMenu to display a list
               of files whenever this icon is activated.

Editor         (F2) Starts QuikMenu's Text Editor and automatically
               loads or creates any batch file found at the beginning
               of the command line.

Once you finish, press ENTER to save or ESC to cancel your entries.
}

{EDIT_LINK_ITEM

------------------
EDITING PAGE ICONS
------------------

Page Icons are used to move between pages within a menu. For example,
page one might contain a icon labeled "Games" which is linked to page
five. Page five might contain several items related to game software
as well as a "Go Back" icon for returning to page one.

Speed Key      This is the key on your keyboard that will be used to
               activate the Page Icon. Valid choices are the letters
               A through Z, numbers 0 through 9 and characters: @ # $
               & * ( ) + { } [ ] : ; ? ! / | \ " ^ - _ ~ . , << >> =
               ` '. 

Name           This is the text that will appear inside the Page Icon
               when it's displayed on the screen. You can instruct
               QuikMenu to display the icon text as multiple lines by
               using a tilde (~) character to represent line breaks.

Link To...     Type the number of the page you want to link with this
               Icon. Valid page numbers are 1 to 50. (See List Pages
               below.) If you place an asterisk (*) in this field
               instead of a page number, the icon will always return
               to the previous page regardless of it's position in the
               menu.

List Pages     This serves as an alternative method for filling in the
               Name and Link To Page Number fields above. Selecting
               this option displays a dialog box containing a list of
               page titles for all 50 QuikMenu pages.

Style          Use the Style option to select the icon, color, font
               and alignment choices to represent the page link on the
               menu.

After you have completed your entries, press ENTER to save them or ESC
to cancel.
}

{EDIT_MACRO_ITEM

-------------------
EDITING MACRO ICONS
-------------------
Macro Icons are used to combine a large number of keystrokes and/or
mouse actions into one. Macros can be used to automate repetitive menu
tasks such as copying files, changing QuikMenu's setup or even running
several programs in succession. Many programs that feature macros
require that you learn a complicated programming language before you
can create a macro. QuikMenu, on the other hand, doesn't have a macro
language. Instead, QuikMenu includes an easy-to-use macro recorder.
Simply turn the recorder on, perform the functions you want automated,
turn the recorder off and a macro is automatically created for you.

Speed Key      This is the key on your keyboard that will be used to
               activate the Macro Icon. Valid choices are the letters
               A through Z, numbers 0 through 9 and characters: @ # $
               & * ( ) + { } [ ] : ; ? ! / | \ " ^ - _ ~ . , << >> =
               ` '. 

Name           This is the text that will appear inside the Macro Icon
               when it's displayed on the screen. You can instruct
               QuikMenu to display the icon text as multiple lines by
               using a tilde (~) character to represent line breaks.

File Name      This is the name of the file where QuikMenu will store
               all the keystrokes and/or mouse actions that comprise
               the macro. If you're creating a new macro, this should
               be a file that doesn't already exist.

List Macros    Use this option to select from a list of macros that
               have already been created. A file name selected from
               the list box will be placed into the File Name field.

Password       The Password option allows you to prevent unauthorized
               users from activating and/or modifying the icon.

Style          Use the Style option to select the icon, color, font
               and alignment choices to represent the icon on the
               menu.

Playback       This option allows you to vary the macro's execution
               speed.

Record         The Record option saves the Macro Icon and starts the
               Macro Recorder. If you are adding a new macro to the
               menu, you will first be asked to place the macro's icon
               on the page. After placing the icon, you will enter
               record mode (noted at the bottom of the screen). To
               create the macro, simply perform the menu functions you
               want to automate. Any functions you perform while the
               recorder is on will be stored in the file you specified
               in the File Name field above. When the macro is
               complete, turn the recorder off by pressing F10.

To play back a recorded macro, select the macro's icon. Macro playback
may be interrupted by pressing F10.

After you have completed your entries, press ENTER to save them or ESC
to cancel.

{EDIT_DIALER_ITEM

--------------------
EDITING DIALER ICONS
--------------------

Dialer Icons allow you to dial the telephone using your Hayes
compatible modem. You may wish to create a page of Dialer Icons using
phone numbers for some of your important contacts. Then simply dial a
number by selecting the appropriate icon.

 NOTE: QuikMenu's PhoneBook utility provides additional dialing and
  database functions.

Speed Key      This is the key on your keyboard that will be used to
               activate the Dialer Icon. Valid choices are the letters
               A through Z, numbers 0 through 9 and characters: @ # $
               & * ( ) + { } [ ] : ; ? ! / | \ " ^ - _ ~ . , << >> =
               ` '. 

Name           This is the text that will appear inside the Dialer
               Icon when it's displayed on the screen. You can
               instruct QuikMenu to display the icon text as multiple
               lines by using a tilde (~) character to represent line
               breaks.

Phone Number   This is the actual telephone number that the icon will
               dial when it's activated. The number should be exactly
               the same as if you were dialing it manually. For
               example: 1-800-555-1234. Place a comma (,) in the
               telephone number to insert a 2 second delay. For
               example, 9,555-1234 would dial 9, wait 2 seconds, then
               dial 555-1234.

Password       The Password option allows you to prevent unauthorized
               users from activating and/or modifying the icon.

Style          Use the Style option to select the icon, color, font
               and alignment choices to represent the icon on the
               menu.

After you have completed your entries, press ENTER to save them or ESC
to cancel.
}

{ADD_ITEM

----------------------------
ADDING NEW ITEMS TO THE MENU
----------------------------

When you add an item to QuikMenu, it will appear on the screen in the
form of an icon. An icon is a picture or illustration used to
represent a software program, DOS Option, macro function, phone dialer
or page link. QuikMenu gives you several styles of icons; from simple
text blocks to 3-D picture buttons. It's far easier to select an icon
by pressing a single key or clicking the mouse than it is to remember
and type a long series of DOS commands. Icons can greatly simplify
large, complex tasks and make computing easier for novices and experts
alike.

Simply choose the type of icon you want to create or press ESC to

memory.
}

{CALENDAR

------------------
USING THE CALENDAR
------------------

QuikMenu's calendar feature is a handy tool to help you keep your days
organized so you don't miss important deadlines and commitments. You
can even create reminders that pop up when you first start your
computer. You can also use the calendar as a reference for prior and
future months and years.

ENTERING REMINDERS

QuikMenu's Calendar gives you a place to type simple notes,
appointments, etc. for a specific date. First, highlight the date you
wish to attach notes to using the arrow keys on you keyboard. Once the
date is highlighted, press ENTER. If you have a mouse, you can simply
position the mouse pointer over the desired date and click. A simple
text editor will appear where you can enter your notes in a free form
format. Dates that have reminders attached to them will appear on the
calendar with a tiny page icon in the upper left corner.

             Use these buttons or the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys to
               move backward or forward one month at a time.

Prev Year      (ALT/P) Display the calendar for the previous year.

Next Year      (ALT/N) Display the calendar for the next year.

PhoneBook can dial your telephone for you.

To view records in the PhoneBook, press PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN or click
the   buttons with the mouse. Across the top of the PhoneBook screen
you'll see a set of letters (A,B,C,etc.). You can use these letters
just like a set of index tabs. Press the CONTROL key and the LEFT or
RIGHT arrow keys to scroll through the tabs. If you have a mouse,
click the tab with the letter you want to view. The first record
beginning with the selected letter will be displayed on the screen.
Select the asterisk tab (*) to locate entries that start with numbers
or unusual characters.  
Use the first text field on the top of the screen to enter the name
you'll use to sort the PhoneBook record. Use the TAB key and the UP
and DOWN arrow keys to move from field to field on the screen. The
address field is the large box below the name. This is a six line
free-form text field where you can type anything you like. Phone
numbers are entered in the boxes on the right. QuikMenu automatically
fills in Work Phone and Home Phone as field titles. Use the blank
field below each title to enter the appropriate phone number. For
example: 1-800-555-1234. Place a comma (,) in the telephone number to
insert a 2 second delay. For example, 9,555-1234 would dial 9, wait 2
seconds, then dial 555-1234.

             (PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN) Use these buttons to view the
               previous or next record in the database.
