<+C><+!>SAM<-!> was developed in response to the weakest element in what is otherwise a wonderful word processing package.
<+!>Ami Pro's file manager is a wimp.<-!> You can find the files... and view the descriptions... but launch Ami Pro with the file... or launch a new file from within Ami Pro. NO WAY! Never could figure out why they didn't add launching capabilities to the f
ile manager, so we did... and added fast paths to allow you speedy access to your most used

<+C><:#1200,9360><:f200,2Bookman Old Style,><+!>1. File Descriptions and How to Use Them<-!>. You can add lengthy descriptions to your Ami Pro documents by using the "File" menu and choosing "Doc Info". Just type in a description and whenever you view the file with SAM, yo
u will be able to see the description of that file and all others in the directory at the same time. This makes it much easier to track files than just trying to remember those cryptic 8-letter DOS file names.

@Bullet 1@<+C><:#720,9360><:f200,2Bookman Old Style,>if you want SAM to quit when you launch a file, just use the /exit switch at the SAM command line when you launch SAM. A typical file manager entry might look like this... SAM.EXE /exit. Without the /exit switch, SAM will stay aro
und after you launch a file.
<+C><:#240,9360><:f200,2Bookman Old Style,>
<+C><+!><:f200,2Bookman Old Style,>3. File Functions.<-!> In addition to launching files with SAM you can copy, rename, move and delete Ami Pro document files.
