How to use the help system
Whenever you use a dialog box and you want instructions
on how to proceed, press ^rF1^r for help. When a menu is pulled
down, you can highlight any item and press ^rF1^r for
help on that specific item.
 ^bWith the mouse^b, you can point to and ^rClick^r
^C14 ^C14
 ^r F1=Help ^r at the right side of the menu bar.
 For help on a menu, click the menu bar then
 click ^r F1=Help ^r.
When you first familiarize yourself with a Utility, you might
find it helpful to select the ^b[Topics]^b button at the bottom of
any help page. It displays a list of topics
which provides background and introductory material.
^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^C1A^b
  ^bNote:^b on a monochrome display, the highlighted push button
  will look like [^C3e Next ^C3c]. The "Button arrows" can be chosen
  for any display as an option.
The ^b[Next]^b and ^b[Previous]^b buttons let you browse through the
topics sequentially.  ^b[Topics]^b gets you to a help topic screen.

^bOther Help^b
Keep an eye on the bottom line of each screen. This line
provides a short description of each menu item or the summary
instructions for a dialog box.
Also, the bottom line often displays a set of shortcuts for
the most often-needed menu functions.
DEFRAG provides a set of high-powered, command-line switches
to get things done from a batch file or to simplify
life at the DOS command prompt. For help with command-line
switches and options, type ^bDEFRAG /F^b.
In this online help, we use the following conventions:
  ^rkey^r
 A single key such as ^r^C1C^r or ^rHome^r or ^rspacebar^r.
Press and then release it.
  ^rshift^r+^rkey^rA "keychord."  Press ^rshift^r and while still
holding it down, press ^rkey^r.  Release both.
  ^rAlt^r+^rkey1^r ^rkey2^r Press ^rAlt^r and while still holding it down,
press ^rkey1^r.  Then you press ^rkey2^r (with or
without releasing ^rAlt^r first).  Alt+ keys are
used to accelerate menu selections.
  ^rClick^r
 Press and release either mouse button.
  ^rClick Right^r
 ^rClick^r a specific mouse button. Rarely used;
normally both buttons work the same.
  ^rDrag^r
 Press a button and while keeping it pressed,
move the mouse.  Release at desired position.
  ^rDouble Click^r  ^rClick^r,release,^rClick^r,release. Either button.

Use ^r^C1C^r and ^r^C07^r, ^rHome^r and ^rEnd^r to move the selection bar in the
drive list. All your DOS-recognized drives, including
diskette drives and DOS partitions are listed. Network drives
are not listed. DEFRAG cannot optimize network drives.
Press ^rEnter^r to select the highlighted drive for optimization,
or press ^rEsc^r to back out of this dialog.
Before DEFRAG begins optimizing, it analyzes the drive
and makes a recommendation as to the best optimization method.
At that time, you can choose to modify the various
configuration settings before optimizing.
This dialog lets you select one of two optimization methods.
Use ^r^C1C^r and ^r^C07^r to move the cursor. Press the ^rSpacebar^r to
select the desired method. Press ^rEnter^r when done, or ^rEsc^r to
cancel.
 ^uFull Optimization^u: Best performance gain; takes the longest
 amount of time to run.
Command line switch: ^bDEFRAG /F^b ("Full optimization")
^C07 Moves directories to the front of the disk
^C07 Unfragments all files
^C07 Moves all gaps to the end of the disk
 ^uUnfragment Files Only^u: Very fast to run.
Command line switch: ^bDEFRAG /U^b
^C07 Does not optimize directory placement
^C07 Leaves unfilled gaps around the disk
This dialog lets you select a filename sorting order. When
you optimize with the Full Optimization Method or with the
File Sort option (see ^rAlt^r+^rO^r ^rM^r), all files in all directories
are sorted to this criterion.
 Note: File sorting DOES NOT affect the physical positioning
 of the file's data on the disk.
To select a ^bSort Criterion^b, press one of the hotkeys ^rU^r,^rN^r,^rE^r,^rD^r,
or ^rS^r. Or use ^r^C1C^r and ^r^C07^r and press ^rSpacebar^r. Move down to the
^bSort Order^b box and select Ascending or Descending. Press
^rEnter^r to proceed with your choices or ^rEsc^r to cancel.
 Note: You can select a sort order from the DOS command line:
 DEFRAG ^b/SN^b by Name A-to-Z
 DEFRAG ^b/SN-^b by Name, Z-to-A
 DEFRAG ^b/SE^b by Extension A-to-Z
 DEFRAG ^b/SE-^b by Extension, Z-to-A
 DEFRAG ^b/SD^b oldest-to-newest
 DEFRAG ^b/SD-^b newest-to-oldest
 DEFRAG ^b/SS^b smallest-to-largest
 DEFRAG ^b/SS-^b largest-to-smallest
This screen identifies all of the characters which might
appear on the disk map. Press ^rEnter^r when you are finished
looking at it.
Select the Quit! menu (or press ^rAlt^r+^rX^r) when you are finished
using DEFRAG.
After analyzing the currently selected drive, DEFRAG
displays the recommended optimization method.  If no
optimization is necessary, DEFRAG will indicate so.
If an optimization is necessary, it will be one of the
following:
 ^uFull Optimization^u:  Best speed improvement; longest
  amount of time to run:
  ^C07Moves directories to the front
  ^C07Unfragments all files
  ^C07Moves all gaps to the end
 ^uUnfragment Files^u:  Very fast to run; does not compress
  empty space (leaves gaps).
You can select a different method by pressing ^rEsc^r, then
selecting ^uOptimization Method
.^u from the ^uOptimize^u Menu
(^rAlt^r+^rO^r ^rO^r).
To immediately start optimizing with the suggested method,
highlight the ^b[Optimize]^b button and press ^rEnter^r.
The ^b[Configure]^b button (or press ^rEsc^r here) pulls down the
^uOptimize^u menu and lets you select such options as sorting your
directories and files. If you want to use any of these
options, highlight the ^b[Configure]^b button and press ^rEnter^r.
Later, use ^rAlt^r+^rB^r to begin optimizing.
