║>>> DGLABEL ---  DGLABEL will give the user a quick easy method to print     ║
║labels with great flexability with fonts. Create labels, font setups or lines║
║for memory.  REMEMBER to save them for use at a later date.                  ║
║                                                                             ║
║>>> Label Editing ---  To edit a label use the standard word processing keys ║
║such as the Cursor Arrows, Del, Ins, Home, Enter, Tab, End, Backspace, etc.  ║
║Use Alt D to Delete a line.  Use Alt E to Erase entire label.                ║
║                                                                             ║
║F1  Help ---  This file DGLABEL.HLP must be in the default drive when loading║
║or later when called to be available for use.                                ║
║                                                                             ║
║F2  Fonts ---  The cursor is in the line active for changing fonts. To change║
║lines, use one of the cursor keys or hit a line number (1-5).  The letter "F"║
║will toggle between font widths.  The letters shown in the menu ("I" for     ║
║italics) will turn on or off that particular font style for that individual  ║
║line.  Select any combination for each line, although not all will work on   ║
║all printers.  Use ESC to return to the Main Menu.                           ║
║                                                                             ║
║F3  Print Centered --- This will automatically center each line on the width ║
║of label that you have selected. This feature is highly printer dependent and║
║uses smaller then normal spaces to aid centering. The setup for Generic      ║
║printer uses standard spacing and might work on your printer if others fail. ║
║Autofont "on" may default you into a combination that is not compatible.     ║
║                                                                             ║
║F4  Print Left --- This will left justify the lines and print them at the    ║
║left edge of the label. Useful for full-sized mailing address labels.        ║
║                                                                             ║
║F5  Address --- This will print the first three lines (only) of the label.   ║
║It will automatically select compressed/subscript print and print the        ║
║information four times on each label.  Great for return address labels.      ║
║                                                                             ║
║F6  Memory ---  Press F6 to use the Memory Option.  The purpose of this      ║
║option is to allow the instantaneous access to lines that you may use often  ║
║or to move text from one line to another.  You will be asked to input a line ║
║number (1 to 5) to save into memory.  Enter the line number.  Next you will  ║
║be prompted to select a memory letter.  Hit a key (A, B, or C). The line will║
║now appear in the memory section for your use in this session of labeling.   ║
║                                                                             ║
║F7 Recall Dir --- Direct recall of previously called directory thru Alt F7   ║
║                                                                             ║
║F8  Printer Selection ---  You will be prompted to select a printer from     ║
║several on a menu.  Enter the letter of the printer you wish.  If your       ║
║printer is not listed, select one that would be most compatible with your    ║
║printer.  For a compatibility check, turn Autofont "off", then select various║
║font widths with blank font styles and print out with "F4". With that as a   ║
║starting point play around to see how your printer will react. Registered    ║
║owners will get special assistance if there is a problem using their printer.║
║                                                                             ║
║F9  Width ---  Select width in inches.  Most labels of this type are 3.5 or 4║
║inches wide. The default has been set up for 3.5 inches.  Select 8.5 to use  ║
║DGLABEL for letter headings.  Uses decimal (as shown in lines above) for     ║
║widths that are not in even inches.                                          ║
║                                                                             ║
║F10 Quit ---  This will return you to DOS. No questions asked.               ║
║                                                                             ║
║ALT F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6  Disk Access ---  The disk access portion of this      ║
║program allows the saving or retrieving to/from a disk.  The label section,  ║
║the font section or the memory section can be saved, or retrieved from       ║
║previously saved sessions. *USE ALT F7 OR ALT F8 TO CHANGE DRIVE/DIRECTORY*  ║
║An example follows.  When you have a font setup that you wish to SAVE for    ║
║future sessions use ALT F5.  You will be prompted to enter a filename.  Use  ║
║DOS rules for filenames (8 letter maximum).  DO NOT ADD EXTENSION  Hit enter ║
║and the font setup will be saved to the disk.  When you have a font setup    ║
║that you wish to RETRIEVE from prior sessions use ALT F6.  You will be       ║
║prompted to enter a filename.  Use DOS rules for filenames (8 letter         ║
║maximum).  DO NOT ADD EXTENSION.   Hit enter and the font setup will be      ║
║retrieved from the disk.  With the exception of using different ALT keys, the║
║same steps should be followed for memory and labels.  Use Alt F1 and ALT F2  ║
║for labels.  Use Alt F3 and ALT F4 for memory.                               ║
║                                                                             ║
║ALT F7  Print Dir ---  (Option A:) USE THIS OPTION TO CHANGE DEFAULT DRIVE.  ║
║(Option B:) Use this for first time retrieval of previous saved labels. A new║
║screen appears with the saved labels. A new menu appears on this screen.     ║
║To view a label use F7. Put a quantity by each label to print and use options║
║F3 or F4 from this screen.  Esc returns to the Main Menu.  ALT F is Autofont.║
║Use PgUp and PgDn to display over 50 labels.(Option C:) Recalls a previous   ║
║selected list of labels.  Use F7 from Main Menu to also do this function.    ║
║     YOU MUST HAVE PREVIOUSLY SAVED LABELS TO USE THIS FEATURE               ║
║                                                                             ║
║ALT F8 Dos Shell --- This option will invoke a second dos shell.  You must   ║
║have COMMAND.COM in "A" drive.  Use "EXIT" to return to DGLABEL. Handy for   ║
║changing default drive/directory.                                            ║
║                                                                             ║
║Alt A,B,C  Memory Use ---  To use a line in memory while you are editing the ║
║label, place the cursor in the line you wish to replace with a line from     ║
║memory, then hit Alt A or Alt B or Alt C.                                    ║
║                                                                             ║
║ALT F  AutoFont --- This key turns AutoFont Off/On. If you attempt to print  ║
║a label with a font selection that will be too wide to print, Autofont will  ║
║automatically adjust the Font width downward to the widest printable font    ║
║It is suggested that Autofont be On when printing from directory.            ║
║                                                                             ║
