                         ENTER to select, ESC to close the menu
                         without selecting.

                         a keyword to search for. By pressing
                         either ENTER or F2 the search routine will
                         be activated.

        Find Next      - Searches for the next match that was
                         defined in the manual search routine
                         or by the auto-lookup routine when
                         popped-up the display window.

        Leave Image    - Lets you leave an image of the display
                         window on the screen and returns you to
                         your work. The image is cleared from the
                         screen when the program you are using
                         repaints the screen (usually an ENTER key
                         press will cause a screen repaint.)

        Auto-Lookup    - Toggles the auto-lookup routine ON/OFF.
                         when ON the auto-lookup routine will read
                         the word at the cursor in your program
                         when you pop-up Expert Help. Once read,
                         the search routine is invoked and all
                         SHORT entries in the entire database are
                         searched for a match to the search word.
                         If a match is found, the highlite bar
                         will be positioned over the SHORT entry.
                         If no match was found, Expert Help will
                         sound a beep and display a Not Found
                         message in the lower right corner of the
                         screen. Also if the screen is in half-screen
                         mode and the Auto-Lookup feature is turned
                         ON the window will position itself away
                         from the search word (when popped-up).

                         Cut and Paste feature lets you paste text
                         into your program (usually an editor or
                         word processor). Once you have activated
                         the Cut and Paste routine, use the cursor
                         pad (arrow keys, etc.) to highlite a block
                         of text. When finished press ENTER, Expert
                         Help will pop-down and the text block will
                         be written into you editor.

                         Once you have activated the Cut and Print
                         routine, use the cursor pad (arrow keys,
                         etc.) to highlite a block of text. When
                         finished press ENTER, a window will pop-up
                         displaying information about your printer,
                         the number of lines selected, and the
                         current state of the print job. When finish-
                         ed, you are given the option of Ejecting
                         the Page or pressing ESC to Exit.

                         Screen or Half Screen mode. In Half Screen

                         down using the Shift Up/Dn Arrow Keys. Also
                         if the screen is in half-screen mode and the
                         Auto-Lookup feature is turned ON the window
                         will position itself away from the search
                         word (when popped-up).
