- APPT APPOINTMENT MINDER
- QUICK SETUP
- APPT Appointment Minder retrieves your appointments from your data file, and
- presents your appointments starting with the first occurrence of today's date.
- This file explains how to get APPT Appointment Minder up and running--quickly.
- You should, however, read APPT.DOC to fully understand APPT.
-
- Put APPT.COM in your root directory, type APPT and press [Enter]. Assuming
- that you've not created the data file APPT.DAT, you will receive an error
- stating that APPT can not find your appointments, and you will be prompted
- to press any key. Press any key. APPT will have created APPT.DAT, an empty
- data file. Again, type APPT [Enter] and you will meet APPT. Although you
- have no appointments logged, you may press [F5] to start the internal editor.
- Now enter some text, including today's date in MM-DD format. Be sure to
- place the date in the first five positions on a line--THIS IS ESSENTIAL. Go
- ahead and enter text before and after today's date; this will allow you to
- see how APPT works.
-
- Now press [F9] to save your new data file. When the checkmark appears beside
- the [F9], press [Esc] to exit the editor and [F10] to exit APPT. Now you
- are ready to run APPT to see it at work. I hope you find APPT useful.
