"FILE SELECTION HELP"

"The program has read your data disk and displayed a list of files for"
"you to view.  The kind of files displayed depends on  where  you were"
"in THE  DATAMAGE  when you directed the  program to display a list of"
"files.  You could be viewing data, marker, I/O group or macro files."

"The program has the capacity to hold fifty files of each type.  Press"
"the  up/down arrow,  page up/down  or  home/end keys to highlight the"
"file of your choice.  Press return to select the file, or the  D  key"
"to permanently erase it from the disk."

"Pressing escape,  if you are selecting marker,  macro or I/O  groups,"
"will abort the disk load and return you to the program."

"If you are viewing datafiles pressing  escape  enables the program to"
"access files not recorded in sub-dirs off the  directory  holding the"
"programs. You will be prompted to enter the pathname holding the des-"
"ired file.  The way the program will respond to your entry depends on"
"the last character you enter."

"If you have several files in sub-dirs off the root on A: and you want"
"the program to make you a menu of them enter A:, and press return."

"If you have only one file on A:,  in the root directory,  and wish to"
"load that file then enter A:\, and press return.  If you record files"
"that way the program WILL NOT make a menu, as there  are no  sub-dirs"
"on A:, and the menu is made by checking sub-dirs for DATAMAGE files."

"If you have more than fifty datafiles on C: you must  put  the fifty-"
"first someplace else, as the program can access only fifty  datafiles"
"on  one  menu.   So,  make a new dir off the root on C:,  and call it"
"DATABNK1, or whatever."

"To access a file in the databank press escape from the menu and enter"
"\DATABNK1.  The program will make a menu of the datafiles in sub-dirs"
"of C:\DATABNK1, and you may select your file in the normal manner."

"If you are in a hurry and you know the  complete  pathname,  enter it"
"and add a backslash (\) as the final character.   You might enter the"
"full path as  \DATABNK1\INVNTORY\.   Provided there is a path of that"
"name, and it contains a  DATAMAGE  file,  the program will bypass the"
"menu operation and load the datafile."
