- HAMBONE HELP
-
- Menuing...
-
- HAMBONE uses "pull-down" menuing that can be accessed by your
- mouse or the arrow keys. Simply move the high-lighted bar to
- the menu item you wish to select and press ENTER or your LEFT
- mouse button.
-
- Press the ESCape key to de-select a menu item.
-
- We do not know of any MOUSE drivers that will not work with
- HAMBONE. Be sure to have your MOUSE.COM or other driving
- software loaded before you use HAMBONE. It makes navigating so
- much easier than using the arrow keys.
-
- Scrolling...
-
- You may also use your MOUSE to scroll through the TEXT files
- by pressing the RIGHT and LEFT mouse buttons. You may use the
- arrow keys, PgUp and PgDn keys if you do not have a mouse.
-
- Setting Up...
-
- Be sure to select "FILES" and then select "SETUP" to
- personalize HAMBONE. If you wish to turn the sound OFF, then
- use the SETUP feature. Keep all of the files in HAMBONE.ZIP on
- a single disk or in a common directory. While a fixed disk is
- preferrable for speed, a floppy disk is quite adequate. There
- is nothing special you must do in order to use HAMBONE. It is
- a straight-forward and simple program to use.
-
- Morse Code Feature...
-
- You can use the RANDOM code generator to work on your code
- studies. Also, any normal DOS text file can be used. Perhaps,
- you would like to create a special text file for practicing
- the code. Be sure to include the FULL path to the text file.
- (i.e., C:\HAMBONE\PRACTICE.TXT)
-
- Creating your own data...
-
- The test questions as well as the HAMBONE textbook chapters
- can be altered with any DOS text editor. When altering the
- test questions, just be sure to follow the same encoding that
- is described at the top of each file.
-
- Information...
-
- HAMBONE was written by Joe Lincoln (TekMate) and the TEST

-
- Ham radio is a wonderful hobby and avocation. The author just
- wants to make your studies easier. While HAMBONE can't do it
- all, there may be enough features to "spark" your interest and
- perhaps, lay the groundwork for a study plan.
-
- Our original ham study guide - HAMPAC is no longer supported.
- If you find this "old" file on your favorite BBS, please, ask
- the sysop if they would mind replacing it with HAMBONE. You
- can always get FREE updates by calling LINX BBS.
-
- Good luck with your studies. There is enough information in
- HAMBONE to work on your NOVICE, TECHNICIAN or GENERAL class
- license. We can also provide EXTRA CLASS information. Please,
- call for details.
-
- We will gladly accept any contribution you may wish to make
- and will acknowledge all inquiries. SASE please.
