SOME TIPS ON GETTING STARTED WITH WORDMASTER
-- HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION --
Create a directory on your hard disk to hold the WordMaster files,
e.g., C:\WM. Use the command MD WM. Put the WordMaster disk in
drive A and switch to that drive. Copy the files with the command
COPY *.* C:\WM.
To be able to load WordMaster from anywhere on your hard disk be
sure to include the WordMaster directory in your PATH in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT. And remember to set the Home Directory so WordMaster
can find its own files from any other directory. Do this with the
command <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-S> or <F1, O, P, H>. And make it permanent
with the command <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D> or <F1, O, S>.
-- FLOPPY DRIVE USE --
Most computers without a hard drive have two floppy disk drives.
You will probably want to use the program disk in drive A and keep
data files in drive B. To do this, set the Home Directory as
described above under Hard Disk Installation, but set it for A.
Then use <Shift-F1> to change to the B drive. (You may also have to
enter B the first time you open a file.)
If you put a PATH statement like PATH=a:\;b:\; in an AUTOEXEC.BAT on
your boot disk you should be able to put the WordMaster disk in
drive A, the data disk in drive B and load WordMaster from drive B
without all the above instructions.
-- LOADING THE PROGRAM --
To load WordMaster type WM and <Enter>.
To read the WordMaster documentation file, type WM WM.DOC and
<Enter>.
-- PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION --
To print out the documentation file (which is designed to be printed
using WordMaster) load the file as above and use <Shift-F9> to bring
up the print menu.
It is important that the right Printer Definition File (the .PDF
files) is loaded before printing anything or the various fonts will
not be printed. By default, WordMaster uses EPSMX80.PDF which is
fine for most printers that are Epson compatible. If your printer
will not work properly with this, then try one of the other .PDF
files contained in the self-extracting file PDF-SFX.COM; extract by
typing PDF-SFX <Enter> on the command line while in the directory
containing the WordMaster files. If none of these work
satisfactorily with your printer, you can create your own .PDF file
as outlined in the documentation.
NOTE: Users of earlier versions of WordMaster will notice that the
default function key assignments have been radically changed after
careful evaluation of user suggestions.
Good luck. Enjoy WordMaster!
