     Save the card definition file with the same name as it was opened
     or created with.
F5 - Save As
     Save the card definition file with a new name.
F8 - Test with these#
     After all the values have been entered in this Card setup editor,
     you can use this button to test your card definition. But use
     plain sheets to this test. Save the more expensive cards for
     later after you know that all the numbers are correct.
F9 - Alignment Sheet
     Before you start to figure out the values to use in this editor,
     print out this alignment sheet. Use a plain sheet for this, not a
     card sheet. This will have line and character number printed with
     the maximum margins for your printer. With this sheet you can
     easy figure out the top and left margin you need for the cards,
     and how many characters there is room for on one line. If a
     printer code for Condensed print has been entered, the bottom
     half of the sheet will be in condensed print.

Card Description: 
     Here you can add in your own line of description of what this
     card definition file is for.
Card Type, Single sheet or Continuous feed? (S/C).:
     On Dot-Matrix printers most cards come as continuous sheets of
     cards, while on Laser and DeskJet printers, cards are usually on
     8 «" x 11" (or A4 size) sheets. Please specify which kind you're
     using.

The next three items are only needed for single sheet printers.

Cards Per Sheet...................................:
     Enter the number of cards that are on one sheet. On a sheet with
     3" x 5" cards there are usually 3, and with 4" x 6" cards there
     are 2.
Top Margin (in number of lines)..............................:
     All single sheets with cards have a margin on the top of the
     sheet. This area will not be printed on the card. This margin is
     in the number of lines that prints BEFORE the first line on the
     card. See use of the Alignment Sheet above.
Left Margin (in number of Characters).............:
     Lay the alignment sheet on the sheet with cards so the left
     edges are touching. Now you can count the number of characters
     that must be printed BEFORE print on the card can start. This
     will be the Left Margin number. You might need to adjust the
     Left Margin to a higher number because the width of a TAB
     character is less than of a normal character.
Characters per line (at current text size)........:
     Lay the alignment sheet on the card so the first character or the
     sheet is just inside the left card edge. You can now see from one
     of the long rows of numbers (folding the alignment sheet just
     above the numbers might help) how many characters will fit on
     one line on the card.
Printed Lines per Card............................:
     Again use the Alignment card and find out how many printed lines
     there room of INSIDE the perforations on the card. 
Blank Lines Between Cards.........................:
     Most card has the perforation just between two printed lines, so
     there's no need for any blank lines between the cards. But if you
     want to move the bottom line up, just enter the number of lines
     you want. But you must also SUBTRACT the same number of Printed
     Lines per Card. If you want to move the text down on the card,
     add a number to Top Margin. On Dot-Matrix printers you must
     experiment with the start location of the cards.
Print this Card in Condensed/Normal Text Size (C/N):
     Enter N to print in "standard" print size. If you enter a Printer
     Code in the Code of Normal Print field, it will be used to set
     the printer configuration. The C for Condensed print works the
     same way. In Normal (10 Characters Per Inch) there's room for
     about 49 characters across a 3x5" card, and more than 80
     characters in Condensed Mode. MicroCook will do a Word-Wrap when
     the lines in the recipes are longer than what fits on a card.
     Since the longest line in a MicroCook recipe is 78 characters,
     it will be easy fit without any Word-Wrap when printing in
     Condensed mode.
Code for Condensed (16.6cpi) print ..:
     Most printer manufacturers want to use their own Printer Codes.
     But there are two "standards" that have developed over the years.
     One for Dot-Matrix printers by EPSON, and the other for Laser and
     DeskJet printers that are using the codes from Hewlett-Packard.
     The Printer Codes are special commands that the software send to
     the printer to tell it to print underlined, bold, small print,
     etc. These codes are made such that the printer knows not to
     print them on the paper. Most printer codes are using characters
     that cannot be types by any standard keyboard, so some tricks
     must be used to create them. The printer codes are using the ESC
     character a lot. This is ASCII character number 27. Other
     characters used are ASCII 15, condensed mode, and ASCII 18, end
     of condensed mode for EPSON compatible printer. In the Card setup
     editor these characters can be entered with help of CTRL-P and
     the ALT key.  First, hold down one of the CTRL keys and type the
     letter P. You will then hear a musical tone. Next hold down one
     of the ALT keys on the keyboard while you type in the number on
     the numeric keypad (right-hand side of the keyboard). Do NOT use
     the number keys above the letter keys! When you let the ALT key
     up again, strange characters will be displayed. 27 (ESC) will
     look like an arrow pointing left, 15 like a sun , and 18 like an
     arrow pointing both up and down. Press Enter when done with the
     Low ASCII characters. You will hear a tone when entering "Normal"
     mode again. If your printer uses some other codes, please look
     them up in the printer manual, or contact the printer
     manufacturer.
          For EPSON compatible printers all that need to be entered
     are the ASCII 15 code for Condensed Print. For HP Compatible
     Laser and DeskJet printers, the Code for Condensed print is
     ESC(s16.67H In MicroCook you can enter the ESC characters as
     described above, or just place an Uppercase X instead of the
     ESC, like: X(s16.67H
Code for Normal (10cpi) Print.........:
     For EPSON Compatible printers this could be many things, but
     ASCII 18 will cancel any Condensed print. MicroCook will NOT
     print cards in a mix of Normal or Condensed print, so unless you
     have changed the print mode earlier, there's really no need for
     this code. For HP compatible Laser and DeskJet printers this
     code is: X(s10H

Tips for DOT-matrix printer users:
     If your ribbon is getting old and the print isn't as dark as
     before, enter a XE for the Normal Print Code will turn on the
     Emphasized mode on any EPSON compatible printer. XG will turn on
     the Double Strike mode. Do not use both at the same time.
