---------------------------------------
The Initial Screen comes up with all of the Defined Groups
showing in the box on the left. Clicking on a group reveals its
group contents in the Contents window. Once selected, the group
can be deleted by pushing the Delete Group button OR immediately
be run by pushing the Run Group button OR be modified by pushing
the Modify Group button. Both the Modify Group button and the
Make a New Group button will take you to the Setup Screen where
you can either modify or make groups.
Groups are easily established and changed on the Setup
Screen. Upon entering the Setup Screen, the Drive, Directory and
Files present in the directory in which you placed GroupWorker
are already showing. To add an application to a group, simply
double click the program's name in the Programs-Click to Add box.
The program name is then automatically (and alphabetically)
loaded into the Programs Selected- Click to Delete Box. You can
move around drives and directories using the Drive and Directory
boxes, and change the kind of executable file you wish to add by
pressing one of the four buttons (*.exe, *.com, *.bat, *.pif)
under the Programs-Click to Add box.. (Please note that if you
add a .pif file AND are operating in Windows Standard mode, your
group execution will be halted until the non-Windows program is
closed.) Programs, by default, are added to the Programs Selected
box in capital letters, indicating that they will be started by
GroupWorker in their normal Windows size. If you wish to have
some programs started as minimized icons, just press the min
button on top of the Programs-Click to Add box before selecting
them. Filenames for these programs will be listed in small
letters. Re-setting the default start-up window size is easily
done by clicking the Norm button. If you make a mistake, or just
change your mind about a file you've added or its starting size,
you can easily delete it by double-clicking it's name in the
Programs Selected- Click to Delete Box.
Once you are happy with your new group, it is easily saved
with the Save Group button, which will lead to your being asked
for the name of your new group. Back in the Setup Screen,you may
proceed to set up as many work groups as you like. When you have
finished setting up your groups, simply press the Done button,
and you will be returned to the Initial Screen, where all of your
new groups are waiting for your use. If you ever have any
questions about using GroupWorker, you can click the Help menu
button, where these instructions will be displayed. (To close the
Help window, just use the control box in the upper left hand
corner.)
When you are finally finished using GroupWorker for now,
just click on the File menu item Exit. GroupWorker will then
vanish until next called for use.
