Thank you for your interest in While Your Were Out and Caliente International. Our name says it all: We're HOT! To prove it, you've just installed While You Were Out 1.0 (WYWO), the Macintosh office messaging system.
Inspired by the universal telephone message note, you already know how to use WYWO. Installed on a Macintosh and/or MS DOS 3.1 or higher compatible network, users can send and receive messages which look just like their familiar phone messages. They're password protected and encrypted for privacy. WYWO notifies you of new messages. Messages are organized into New and Old message lists. Once read, new messages are automatically saved to the old message list. The contents of a message can be saved either to a printer, file, or the clipboard for pasting into another application. WYWO has extensive on-line help.
Caliente International also sells While You Were Out for the WIndows, Windows NT and MS DOS environments. All are message and file compatible. Please call for details.
===> INSTALL AND PRODUCT OVERVIEW FOLLOWS THIS GREETING <===
While You Were Out 1.0 Highlights:
1.) Groups: User license can be subdivided into logical groups. For example: If a user were assigned to the Accounting group, he or she would only be able to send and receive messages to other users in that group.
2.) Search: Users can now search old messages by any of the WYWO fields...From, Company, Date, Time, etc. Based on the search criteria, WYWO creates a message subset which the user can browse.
3.) Forwarding: Users can forward messages to other WYWO users or groups.
4.) Message Modify: Users can edited any message to make corrections or additions and save those changes.
5.) Users can now double click the mouse button to popup a function menu. For example, when double clicking the mouse button on the From field while reading old messages, a menu will display asking the user to either edit the field or search based on that field.
Double clicking on the WYWO sheet itself generates a menu with functions specific to the message: Save to Clipboard, Forward, Delete, plus all of the button functions currently displayed.
6.) Mac WYWO is now file compatible with the Windows version of WYWO allowing users in both environments to send and receive messages on the same network.

Server Installation and Running the WYWO Setup
-------------------------------------------
WYWO is designed to be installed on a central file server. To install the user applications, run the WYWO Installer program provided.
1) Place all of the items in the WYWO package in a folder on a Macintosh that has access to the file server you'll be using to store the WYWO applications and mail files. The following items should be present IN THE SAME FOLDER: - WYWO Installer
- WYWO Monitor
- WYWO Setup
- WYWO
- WYWO Overlay file for 5 users
2) Run WYWO Installer. When you run this application, you will have two choices - a first time installation, or an update installation. Choose "First Time Installation".
3) You will then be prompted for the folder name where WYWO will reside. Select the disk drive and location for this file. NOTE: Your destination must be accessable to all WYWO users.
4) Press the "Save" button. WYWO will be installed.
5) When the installation is finished, the WYWO Setup program will automatically be started. You can then start adding users.
Note that the only restriction is that the WYWO applications must reside in the same folder as the mail files.
WYWO Setup is the administration program for WYWO. It is used to set up all of the user names, user groups and message types for the WYWO system. It is also used for clearing user's passwords should they forget them. WYWO Setup creates two files called WYWO.DAT and WMSGTYPE.DAT in the directory dedicated for the WYWO system. With WYWO SETUP, you will be able to add, modify or delete users, groups and message types that are in the WYWO.DAT and WMSGTYPE.DAT files of the WYWO directory. To toggle between User Name and Message Type modes click on the User Names button or the Message Types button.
To add a user, click on the New button and fill in the name of the new user. Click on OK to enter the name into the system. You can modify the user's name or clear the user's password by either clicking on the Modify button after clicking on the user to be modified, or just double-click on the user name itself. You can then change the user's name or clear the user's password. To delete a user, select the users name and click on the Delete button. Click on the Save button when all users have been added, or click on Cancel to ignore any new changes.
Once users are defined, you can organize them into logical groups to represent departments, floors, workgroups, etc. Groups are identified in the user name list by square brackets, ex: [Everyone]. By default all users belong to the Everyone Group, allowing users to send and receive messages to everyone installed in WYWO. Users have the option of setting a default user group by clicking the Options button in WYWO on their workstations.
Message Types can be added, modified, and deleted in the same manner as the User Names. You are now ready to run WYWO.
IMPORTANT
*********
After installing WYWO on your network, make sure the WYWO folder/ directory has Shareable Read rights while sub-folders/directories have Shareable Read/Write rights for everyone using WYWO.
Some networks require the executable files in the WYWO directory to have Read Only attributes for proper operation.
Running While You Were Out
---------------------------------------
To install WYWO on each workstation:
Attach to the appropriate shared folder/directory containing the WYWO executable files on the file server.
WYWO is the main application for sending and retrieving WYWO messages. Once the WYWO sheet is on the screen you are ready to send and receive telephone messages.
To activate WYWO, simply double click the WYWO icon either on the Macinotsh desktop . The WYWO icon looks like a While You Were Out sheet.
Clicking the mouse button operates as it normally would in any Macintosh application. It selects things: buttons, fields, etc. Double clicking the mouse button will pop-up a menu displaying functionality associated certain objects within a WYWO window.
For example, double click the mouse button over the To field when reading a message and WYWO will display the Forward menu. Select Forward item with the left button, WYWO allows you to select the name of another person to send the message. Hit the Enter key and the message is sent.
Likewise, click the WYWO sheet itself, a menu with functions associated with an entire message is displayed.
By clicking the Help button, you can get help on using any of WYWO's functions. This is the on-line manual.
By clicking the Options button, you can customize WYWO operation on each workstaion.
Default user: The person normally using a particular workstation.
Default user group: Group the default user will normally send and receive messages.
New message notification time: How often WYWO will search for new message or not at all.
Notification window handling: When notified of new messages, should the user be required to respond to the notification dialog window or let the window stay in the background.
Message save options: When saving a message to the printer, file, or clipboard, save the message field identifiers such as To, From, Date, etc. with the message or not.
Running the WYWO MONITOR Program
--------------------------------
WYWO Monitor acts as a system message rack/message board similar to the message racks used on many secretaries desks. It is great for those users with or without a network that want to monitor all new WYWO messages that come in at a central location. WYWO Monitor will check for all new messages in the system at 30-second intervals and display the names of users with new messages. The users can then read their messages from WYWO Monitor by double-clicking on their name or selecting their name and clicking the Read Messages button. WYWO Monitor can be used in two modes: One for displaying new message names as a message board whick will show the number of new messages as small WYWO sheets following the users name, or by displaying a message rack with a picture of the number of WYWO sheets sitting in their message "slot".
WYWO Monitor will only display users who belong to the group specified in the Options screen of WYWO installed on the same workstation. To monitor other groups, simply access WYWO and click the Options button to select another default group.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
WYWO Monitor only allows messages to be viewed. Messages can only be deleted or modified when accessed directly by the WYWO program. Also, any new messages viewed through WYWO Monitor will remain as new messages when later accessed by the WYWO program.
