*******************************************************************************
Turnkey is intended to give the user a simplified view of an IBM compatible
microcomputer. Entering TK (or optionally, having TK as the last line of
the autoexec.bat file) will display the menu choices (which were previously
defined using TK -edit) and allow the user to run a program simply by moving
the cursor over their choice and hitting enter.
Requirements: 256K memory, a hard disk, and DOS 2.0 or later.
Quick Start Instructions
------------------------
Step 1: Installation
Type TKinst installs Turnkey to Drive C.
Step 2: Define the menu choices
Type TK -edit and then choose to edit the menu choices.
This lets you define what the user sees. For example, you might define the
following 4 menu choices (you can define a maximum of 20):
Run the Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet
Word Processing with Microsoft Word
Telecommunications with CrossTalk
Exit to DOS
Step 3: Define the menu actions for each menu choice
Now you must edit the menu actions for each menu choice. Let's say you edit
the actions for "Run the Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet". You might define the
actions as follows:
[1] cd \lotus
[2] 123
[3] cd \
[4] tk
Line [1] changes the directory to lotus, presumably where Lotus 1-2-3
resides. Line [2] runs 123. The user will then be able to use 1-2-3 as
normal (Turnkey uses NO memory), and when the user quits out of 1-2-3, lines
[3] and [4] will bring up the Turnkey menu again.
You would similarly edit the actions for the other 3 menu choices.
Step 4: Type TK and see if it works the way you want!
