- From the Program Manager, hold down CTRL and SHIFT and continue through
- entire operation.

- While holding CTRL-SHIFT:
-
- 1. Choose HELP, ABOUT
- 2. Double Click on one of the colored panels of the Windows flag (upper
- Left)
- 3. Click OK
- 4. Repeat Step 2 (Note flag waving)
- 5. Click OK
- 6. Repeat Step 2 (Note Credits...)
