- Tutorial TopicsThis first set of topics explains general concepts to help you
- understand how WML works. If you understand these general concepts, learning
- the rest will probably be much easier. After the tutorial section there are
- sections for each menu item, including help for each item on each screen.
-
- How to print the documentationThese are the documentation files which are
- provided on-disk with WML:~~1. READ.ME ── Things to know before using WML plus
- latest features~2. WML.TXT ── ASCII text file of the shareware manual (which
- differs from the more in-depth Registered Edition manual)~3. WML.WP ──
- WordPerfect 5 file of the shareware manual~4. ORDER.FRM ── A blank invoice for
- ordering all of my software (an invoice & registration form is included in the
- WML.TXT and WML.WP files).~~Go to the DOS prompt and change to your WML
- directory (e.g., "cd \wml"). To |display| a file:~~|| Type "|LIST filename|" -
- If you have 4DOS or LIST.COM in your computer you will see the file appear
- almost instantly~~|| If you see the message "Bad command or file name") then
- use "|MORE < filename|"~~To |print| a file enter "|TYPE filename > PRN|"
- (without the quotation marks). If underlining is causing an extra line to be
- generated, it means your printer is adding a Line Feed (LF) character to the
- Carriage Return (CR) character. This used to be common in days of old when data
- moved slowly and saving one byte was significant, but these days most software
- works better if you turn this feature OFF. Look in your printer's manual for a
- feature described as "CR=CR or CR=CR+LF" or something similar.~~If you have
- WordPerfect or another word processor which can import WordPerfect files (such
- as Word), run it and load the file WML.WP. You will see instructions in a
- comment at the top of the file.
-
- How to registerIf you use WML past the 60-day trial period you are obligated
- and honour-bound to pay the registration fee.~~|√| You'll get the latest
- version with automated installation and PCL (laser) soft fonts on floppy
- disk~~|√| Support from the author will be available via telephone, mail, and
- BBS~~|√| You may order a detailed, 3-ring-bound manual~~|Registering Through
- the Mail|~~|1.| Choose the |H|elp/|O|rder Form option from WML's menu and
- prepare your printer. If you print the instruction manual (see "Printing The
- Documentation" in the Help Index) the order form can be found on or around page
- 6.~~|2.| Fill in and send it with payment to Box 132, Paonia, CO 81428 USA.
- Your Registered Edition disk with automated installation will arrive in 1-4
- weeks.~~|Credit Card Orders|~~If you prefer to use a credit card, you can order
- WML from Public (software) Library with your MC, Visa, AmEx, or Discover card
- by calling |800-242-4PsL| (from overseas 713-524-6394) or by FAX to
- 713-524-6398 or by CompuServe to 71355,470. |These numbers are for ordering
- ONLY.| I CANNOT be reached at those numbers. To contact me for information
- about dealer pricing, volume discounts, site licensing, the status of shipment
- of the product, the latest version number, or for technical information, call
- 303-527-6756 or write me at Box 132, Paonia, CO 81428 USA. The idea of
- Shareware is to try before you buy, so product returns are not allowed.~~When
- ordering from PsL ask for |product no. 10800|. PsL will add $3 for shipping &
- handling to U.S. and Canadian orders.~~Once you register you can get |updates
- for free| from a local BBS or receive low-cost updates on disk through the
- mail.~~|Automatic Updates|~~You can subscribe to receive updates automatically
- through the mail. As important new versions become available (every 2-4
- months), I will mail you a disk so you will always have the latest version. In
- return I will expect you to send $7 (plus foreign shipping, if any) to me
- within 15 days or return the disk to cancel the subscription.
-
- How to obtain updatesIf a message appears on your screen informing you that
- the software is out-dated, it is an indication that the latest version of WML
- has vastly improved ── it probably has many more features and enhancements. You
- can also use the command DIR WML.EXE to look at the date of the WML programme;
- if it is over a year old you would probably be amazed at the improvements you
- could be using.~~I want you to evaluate and use the latest and best version, so
- here is how you can obtain an update:~~■ If you have a modem, look around page
- 5 of the documentation (WML.TXT or WML.WP) for the list of official
- distribution bulletin board systems. You can call any of these systems and get
- the latest version for free (except for long distance charges, of course).~~■
- Send $4 for an Organic Software Sampler disk plus $3 shipping within the
- Continental U.S., $5 shipping to Canada, or $9 shipping to other countries.
- Send U.S. funds or equivalent cash in your local currency. This disk contains
- the latest versions of all my Shareware. Be sure to specify the disk size and
- density you require.~~■ Call (800) 242-4PsL and order the latest version from
- Public (software) Library. Ask for product #10800. PsL can also take credit
- card orders for registrations.
-
- Laser Printer FontsFonts are different styles of type your printer can
- produce (e.g., Helvetica and Roman are two common fonts). Your laser printer
- has one or more of the following types of fonts:~~|| Resident fonts~||
- Cartridge fonts~|| Soft fonts~~|Resident fonts| are permanently stored in your
- printer's memory to be used at any time. |Cartridge fonts| are also a type of
- memory, available for use at any time. |Soft fonts| are stored on disk and
- downloaded (sent) to the printer as needed.~~|NOTES|~~Envelopes use |landscape|
- fonts (soft fonts ending in .SFL), labels use |portrait| fonts (soft fonts
- ending in .SFP).~~Soft fonts |must| end in SFL or SFP. If you have PCL soft
- fonts with different extensions (such as USP), just rename them to SFP or SFL
- as appropriate. SFP and SFL are the most common extensions, meaning |S|oft
- |F|ont |P|ortrait and |S|oft |F|ont |L|andscape.
-
- Menu UsageWML uses the same type of menu found in Windows, Gem, QuickBASIC,
- and other popular software. The menu, which is on the second line of your
- screen, is two-dimensional: there are |menu headings| horizontally and under
- each of these are the actual |menu items|. There are three ways to choose a
- menu item:~~1. Use the right, left, up, and down arrows to highlight the item
- you want then press |─┘Enter|, or~~2. Press the highlighted letter of the menu
- item, or~~3. Use a mouse to highlight a choice; select it by clicking the left
- button.~~For example, you can press |F| then |x| to exit WML, or highlight
- |File| then press the down arrow and highlight |Exit| then press
- |─┘Enter|.~~|NOTES|~~To pull-down (|open|) a menu just highlight it then press
- |─┘Enter| or the |down-arrow| key.~~To |close| a menu press the |Esc| key. It
- is not necessary to close a menu. You can use the right/left arrows with the
- menus opened to browse all of the options. Usually the only reason to close a
- menu is so you can use the letters instead of arrows (e.g., if you had the File
- menu open and wanted to use the Help Index you could press Esc to close the
- File menu then press |H|-|I|).
-
- Order of Printing & ViewingTo control the order in which entries are printed
- or viewed use the Index menu. You will see a || mark next to the index which
- is currently in use. For more details see the |Indexing| section.
-
- POSTNET Bar CodesPOSTNET bar codes are printed automatically at the bottom of
- every envelope which has a U.S. zip code; you may also choose to print them on
- laser labels.~~Watch laser labels to be sure the bar codes are printed
- completely. If you set the left margin too high (even a 0.2-inch margin may be
- too much), a 9-digit bar code may get chopped-off on the right side. All bar
- codes end in a tall line. Measure with a ruler: a 9-digit bar code is 6cm
- wide.~~|USPS Guidelines|~~The USPS' guideline for bar code positioning is ¼"
- from the bottom and 3½" to 4½" from the right edge of the envelope. WML
- automatically allows for ¼" at the bottom and 3-7/8" from the right
- edge.~~|What If Bar Codes Don't Print?|~~If bar codes are not printing or are
- chopped off, it is probably due to the print going past your printer's built-in
- margin. With envelopes, if the bottom is being cut, set the Bottom Offset (on
- the Preferences/Envelope Size screen) to a positive number (e.g., |0.1| will
- move the bar code up by 0.1 inches). With labels, if the bar code is being
- chopped on the right side, reduce the left margin setting on the
- Preferences/Laser Labels Set-up screen.
-
- Status LinesWML has two status lines, at the top & bottom of the screen. At
- the top is the title of the programme and the WML file you have open (if any).
- At the bottom of the screen is a bar which looks like
- this:~~|Total│Selected│Bad/Omit│Pack│Index│01-01-1980|~~ From left to right the
- items are:~ 1. Total records in the open file~ 2. Total records selected for
- printing~ 3. Total records bad or excluded from mailings~ 4. The word |Pack| if
- there are entries to be erased~ 5. Index in use (name, company, address, or
- zip)~ 6. To-day's date (so far as the computer knows). If you have a filter
- chosen, this will be replaced with "|Filter|" followed by "|Sel|" for Selected
- records only, "|Del|" for Deleted records only, or "|SelDel|" for both. If the
- filter message is |bright| the selection is unchanged, otherwise changes have
- occured. For example, you have set the filter to Selected Only then cleared the
- selection status of a record. The filter message would change to dim since the
- filter is no longer accurate.
-
- Technical SupportSupport is provided for |registered users and those
- intending to register within 30 days.| If you are having a problem and intend
- to register once it is resolved, then by all means please ask for help.~~By
- mail: Box 132, Paonia, CO 81428 USA~~By phone: (303) 527-6756 10am-6pm Tue-Fri

-
- Using WML on a laptop computerLaptop or other portable computers which use an
- LCD or gas plasma display screen are similar to computers which have VGA
- monochrome displays ── WML knows you have a VGA (or EGA or CGA) display
- |adapter|, but it doesn't know if you have a colour |monitor|. If you have a
- one-colour monitor (like LCD), some things may be difficult or impossible to
- read on the screen.~~To remedy this problem, use the |/M| (Monochrome) switch
- when you start WML ── enter |WML /M| at the DOS prompt. If you are "launching"
- WML from within Windows, highlight your WML icon then press Alt-Enter (or
- access the File/Properties menu item with your mouse) and add |/M| at the end
- of the command line.
-
- What does 'Selected' mean?Your mailing list has entries in it, and each entry
- has a |Selected for printing| toggle switch, which you can see on the right
- side of the Data Entry/Names screen. This toggle is either ON or OFF. A
- check-mark in the box |[√]| means that the entry is Selected; otherwise |[ ]|
- it is not.~~The general idea here is that you |select| the records that you
- want to do something with (like print them). This could also be called
- "marking" or "flagging" entries. Most often the selected records will be
- printed on envelopes or labels, but you can also perform other actions on them.
- ~~|EXAMPLE|~~Let's say you want to move records from one file to another. You
- can do it by Selecting them then importing or exporting (import & export both
- allow you to operate on all entries or just the Selected entries).~~|How To
- Select Entries|~~There are two ways you can select entries:~~|1|. One-by-one
- by accessing an entry on the Data Entry/Names screen, then pressing
- |«Alt»|-|S| to toggle the Selected switch ON and OFF, or~~|2|. Using the
- File/Print-Select-Query option, which gives you complete flexibility to select
- the whole list, individual entries, or entries which match certain criteria.
-
- Why are some menu choices unavailable?Menu choices are sometimes "grayed-out"
- (displayed in low-intensity gray) to indicate that they are not available.
- When this is the case, it means that certain conditions are not being met to
- allow the use of the function. For example, if you have not opened a file, the
- Print, Import, and Export options will be unavailable since they operate on
- the data contained within a file.~~The most common reasons for items being
- unavailable are:~~|■| No file open ── if a file is open, its name is displayed
- after the |What Mailing List?| title at the top of the screen~~|■| No items
- selected ── in order to print labels, envelopes, etc. you must first select the
- items which you want to print. If you have opened a file, look at the status
- line at the bottom of the screen to see how many records are Selected.~~|■|
- Printer or fonts not defined ── you must tell WML which printer you are using
- and which of the printer's fonts to use when printing before you can print
- anything. See the Preferences/Printers screen to define this information.
-
- Ending WML (return to DOS)When you are finished using WML and want to end the
- programme just select the E|x|it option under the |F|ile menu. If all menus are
- closed, just press |Fx|, or you can highlight the File menu then use the down
- arrow to highlight Exit then press ─┘Enter.
-
- FileIn general, using the File menu is like going to your paper filing
- cabinet. There are options to work with the files stored on your disk.~~Use the
- up and down-arrow keys to highlight the item you want then press |═╛Enter| or
- press the highlighted letter for the item.~~Your mailing lists will be stored
- in one or more files. You must specify a file to use before you can enter any
- information. Think of it this way: you have to go get a file out of your filing
- cabinet before you can look at what's there or add anything to it, and if you
- don't have any files you have to set one up.
-
- OpenOpens an existing file. After you choose this option you will be shown a
- menu of files from which to choose. Highlight your choice and press
- ─┘Enter.~~You must have a file open before you can work with entries. If you
- have not yet created any files then use the |New| option to create and open
- your first file. ~~When you open a file it stays open until you close it (see
- File/Close), create a new file (see File/New), open another file, or exit WML.
-
- NewFile_NewCreates a new mailing list file (like labelling a new paper file
- folder). When you choose this option a window "pops" open where you can
- enter:~~|| A name for the file, and~|| A description of it~~The |file name|
- is the DOS name on the disk. It can be 1-8 characters long using letters and/or
- numbers.~~The |file description| is up to 40 characters of any type which
- describe the file. The description appears next to each file in the File/Open
- window.~~|NOTES|~~File names must be unique. You can't make two files with the
- same name (the computer would never know which one you wanted). File
- descriptions can be identical to others or may be left completely blank if you
- prefer.
-
- File nameFileNameA file name consists of one to eight characters, including
- numbers and/or letters only (no special characters such as a period, comma,
- etc.). WML will force the name to be all upper-case letters. If you enter the
- name of a file which is already on disk or enter a name which is unacceptable
- for some other reason, a window will pop open with a message explaining the
- problem.
-
- File descriptionFileDescIn addition to the file's name on disk you may also
- enter a long description of the file, which may contain up to 45 upper-case and
- lower-case letters, numbers, and punctuation and other special characters.~~The
- long description is stored in a separate file which is compatible with the 4DOS
- command interpreter. If you are using 4DOS then these descriptions will appear
- when you view a directory of the files from the DOS prompt (using the DIR
- command). You may also edit these descriptions using the 4DOS DESCRIBE command;
- any changes you make from 4DOS will appear in the WML file list.
-
- CloseFile_CloseCloses the file currently in use. This is useful if you want
- to erase the file which is currently open or if you will be leaving the
- computer unattended for a long while you can use Close to save any information
- which may be sitting in memory.~~|NOTES|~~File headers are written only when
- files are closed. If your computer loses power while a file is open, it would
- be something like dropping a bunch of papers on the floor: the information is
- all there, just a little out of order, so just use the Re-index option to sort
- things out again.
-
- DeleteFile_DelPermanently erase a file from disk. This function is
- equivalent to the DOS |del| or |erase| commands. Erasing a file frees up disk
- space.~~|NOTES|~~If you accidentally erase a file, you |may| be able to recover
- it with QU or some other 'undelete' utility. For the most part, however, once a
- file is erased it's gone, so be careful. To be safe, make a back-up of your
- files before deleting any.
-
- Change file nameFile_ChangeThis option lets you change the file name and
- description of the open file. Once you select this option a window will pop
- open with the current name & description. Make any changes and press |F7| (or
- click on "Ok") to save the changes.~~|NOTES|~~The open file (displayed at the
- top of the screen) cannot be changed. Use File/Close to close it.
-
- Back-upMakes a back-up copy of your data files. You must have a formatted
- floppy disk ready. You can use the same back-up disk over and over again (the
- new copy will over-write the old one), but it may be a good idea to alternate
- at least three back-up copies.~~|NOTES|~~Use a rotating back-up scheme with at
- least three sets of disks or tapes.~~When the work you've done since your last
- back-up becomes too much to lose, it's time to make another back-up.~~See
- Preferences Back-up for information on selecting a back-up method. Using
- compression software requires more memory. Use |Help/About| to see your free
- memory.~~|| ARJ 2.41 needs at least |300k| free~~|| LHARC 2.13 needs at least
- |189k| free~~|| PKZip 1.1 needs at least |119k| free
-
- RestoreRestores data files from a back-up copy. This is useful if your data
- files become damaged or are accidentally erased.~~|CAUTION|~~Restoring data
- files |erases| any data files of the same name which exist. If you need to
- restore a single file, do so manually from the DOS prompt.
-
- Format FloppiesWML first tries to find WFF.EXE in your DOS search path. If
- found, What Floppy Format? is run; otherwise, you will be asked to specify a
- drive and the DOS FORMAT command will be used.~~|CAUTION|~~Formatting
- completely erases any information which may be on a disk.~~|NOTES|~~Your DOS
- |path| must point to |format.com| (which is probably in your DOS directory). If
- it does not you will see 'Bad command or file name' flash on your screen and
- disks will not be formatted.~~No parameters are passed to FORMAT -- your
- drive's highest density will be used.
-
- Re-indexRebuilds index files when they are damaged, such as after a power
- outage. If some of your entries mysteriously disappear or are displaying out of
- order, try re-indexing.
-
- PackThe Pack option removes records from the file which have been marked for
- deletion. Until a file is packed, "deleted" entries remain on file (which
- allows you to change your mind about deleting them, if necessary).
-
- ImportAllows files from other software to be read into a WML mailing list.
- Imported information is added to the open mail file.
-
- dBase FilesIn_DBFYou can import records from any dBase-compatible DBF files.
- This includes files made in dBase, FoxBase, dB XL, dBFast, QuickSilver,
- Clipper, or any other dBase clone plus any application software which uses the
- DBF file format, such as DDLABEL.~~Once you choose this option you will be
- asked for a file specification which may include a drive and path. You may use
- wildcards (e.g., D:\DBASE\*.DBF) or you may specify the file (e.g., MYFILE.DBF
- or D:\DBASE\DATA\MYFILE.DBF).~~Next you will see two windows: On the right are
- the WML fields; on the left are the DBF fields defined for the highlighted WML
- field.~~1. Use the up and down arrows to highlight a WML field~~2. Press |F3|
- and a menu of the DBF field names will pop up~~3. Highlight each field you want
- included in the WML field and press the |«SpaceBar»|~~4. Press |─┘Enter| or
- click on "Ok" when done and you will see the fields you defined in the
- left-hand window.~~|| Press the |F9| key to begin importing the DBF file using
- the field assignments you specified.~~|SAVING YOUR DEFINITIONS|~~You can save
- definitions to disk and later restore them. Press |F7| to save a definition to
- disk and |F5| to restore a saved definition.~~|NOTES|~~WML is included with DBF
- definitions for competing mailing list software, such as DDLABEL. You can get a
- free definition for any competing mailing list software by mailing me a sample
- file on a disk.
-
- ASCII FilesIn_ASCASCII (text) files can be created by editors like EDLIN or
- QEdit or generated from most software packages. The format is one record per
- line with each field separated by a comma. Fields may have quotation marks
- surrounding (which is needed if commas are imbedded) but it is not
- required.~~Once you choose this option you will be asked for a file
- specification which may include a drive and path. You may use wildcards (e.g.,
- D:\WML\*.TXT) or you may specify the file (e.g., MYFILE.TXT or
- D:\ASCII\DATA\MYFILE.TXT).~~Next you will see two windows: On the right are the
- WML fields; on the left are the fields defined for the highlighted WML
- field.~~|DEFINING THE FILE FORMAT|~~1. Use the up and down arrows to highlight
- a WML field in the right-hand window~~2. Press |F3| and a menu showing the
- first record of the input file, split into one field per line, will pop up~~3.
- Highlight each field you want included in the WML field and press the
- |«SpaceBar»|~~4. Press |─┘Enter| or click on "Ok" when done and you will see
- the fields you defined in the left-hand window.~~|| Press the |F9| key to
- begin importing the file using the field assignments you specified.~~|SAVING
- YOUR DEFINITIONS|~~You can save definitions to disk and later restore them.
- Press |F7| to save a definition to disk and |F5| to restore a saved definition.
-
- WML 2.x FilesYou can import records from other WML files, in effect
- consolidating two files into one.~~Once you select File/Import and choose this
- option, you will be asked for a file specification. You may enter a complete
- file name (such as |MYFILE.WML|) |or| you may enter a file mask (such as
- |*.WML|). If you enter a mask, a window of available files will open from
- which you may choose one file.~~After you have specified the file you wish to
- import, WML will ask if you want to import all of the records from the file or
- only those records which are Selected within that file. By importing only the
- Selected records, you have total control over which records are imported.
-
- WordPerfect FilesIn_WPWordPerfect mail merge files can be imported into a
- WML file using this function.~~Once you choose this option you will be asked
- for a file specification which may include a drive and path. You may use
- wildcards (e.g., D:\WML\*.WP) or you may specify the file (e.g., MYFILE.WP or
- D:\ASCII\DATA\MYFILE.WP).~~Next you will see two windows: On the right are the
- WML fields; on the left are the fields in the import file which are defined for
- the highlighted WML field.~~|DEFINING THE FILE FORMAT|~~1. Use the up and down
- arrows to highlight a WML field in the right-hand window~~2. Press |F3| and a
- menu showing the first record of the input file, split into one field per line,
- will pop up~~3. Highlight each field you want included in the WML field and
- press the |«SpaceBar»|~~4. Press |─┘Enter| or click on "Ok" when done and you
- will see the fields you defined in the left-hand window.~~|| Press the |F9|
- key to begin importing the file using the field assignments you
- specified.~~|SAVING YOUR DEFINITIONS|~~You can save definitions to disk and
- later restore them. Press |F7| to save a definition to disk and |F5| to restore
- a saved definition.
-
- ExportAllows the entries within a WML file to be saved in a different file
- format so that it may be accessed by other programmes.
-
- ASCII FileAn ASCII text file is usable by most word processors, text editors
- (including edlin), etc. If you aren't sure what format another person will
- need, use ASCII since it is the most universal.~~ASCII files are read and
- written in the following format:~~|| One record per line~|| Fields separated
- by commas
-
- WordPerfectAllows What Mailing List? information to be used with
- WordPerfect's merge function. An ASCII file will be created which contains the
- necessary WordPerfect control codes.~~|NOTES|~~From within WordPerfect press
- |«Ctrl»-«F5» T R| (DOS |T|ext File |R|etrieve CR/LF to [HRt]).
-
- Microsoft WordCreates a mail merge file of your What Mailing List? data for
- use with Microsoft's Word word processor. An ASCII file will be created which
- contains the header information necessary for Word.
-
- Ventura Publisher ASCIICreates an ASCII file with one field per line and a
- blank line between fields. Each line contains a tag name preceding the field.
- For example, an entry might look like this:~~|@NAME = Acme Tools,
- Inc.|~|@ADDRESS = 123 Anywhere Street|~|@ADDRESS = Suite 140|~|@CITY =
- Sometown|~(etc.)
-
- Print / Select / QueryThis brings up a second pull-down menu and is used in
- the same way. Records must be selected to be included in any print-out. |Only
- selected records will print.| This menu also has an option to perform actions
- on the selected records, such as define groups and flag for deletion.
-
- (Select or Clear)|Select| marks each record to be included in any print-outs.
- Records which you Select are |added| to those already selected. For example,
- you could clear all records, then mark records in your Christmas List group
- then mark records in your Friends group.~~|Clear| is the opposite of 'Select.'
- Clearing a record means that it will no longer be included in any print-outs
- (until it is Selected again).
-
- AllSelect or Clear all of the entries on file.
-
- GroupSelect or Clear entries according to group definitions. The Group window
- will open so you can select the group(s) you would like to select.
-
- DateSelect or Clear any entries which have never been printed (Times Mailed
- is zero) or entries which were mailed on a particular date.
-
- CitySelect or clear records based on the City of the addressee.
-
- StateSelect or clear records based on the State or Province of the addressee.
-
- ZipSelect or clear records based on the Zip/Postal code of the addressee.
-
- PhraseSelect or clear records based on a phrase in the comments.
-
- IndividualSelect or Clear records on an individual basis. Under this menu are
- three options ── Entire list, Only selected entries, and Only deleted entries.
- "Entire List" will let you choose from all records in the mailing list. "Only
- Selected" will present only those records which are currently selected. "Only
- Deleted" will let you review the records marked for deletion. After you choose
- one of these options a window will open showing the records. You can move
- throught the list using arrow keys, PgUp/PgDn, etc. and press ─┘Enter to
- toggle the records selection on and off.
-
- ActionsThis menu lets you perform actions on the entries which are selected
- for printing.~~Note on Deleting ═ Records marked for deletion will |not| be
- removed from the file until it is packed (see |File/Pack|).
-
- Set to dateSel_SetDateThis option lets you increment the times mailed and/or
- the last mail date for the Selected entries. You might want to do this, for
- example, if you printed envelopes or labels and then the mailing got held up;
- you could reset the date to the actual mailing date.~~|Increment Times Mailed
- by...| can be a positive or negative number, or zero.~~|New Last Mailed Date|
- can be set to a date or you may leave it blank (use the space bar or Delete key
- to erase the default date). If you leave it blank, the date will not be
- changed.~~Press |F1| to open the help window. Press |F7| (Save) to begin
- changing records. Press the |Esc| key to exit without making any changes. You
- can also use a mouse to "click" on the Help, Save, or Cancel options listed
- near the bottom of the screen.
-
- PrintThis is where you print labels, envelopes, or a group list.
-
- Group ListPrint a list of the groups defined on blank paper.~~The groups you
- define are common to all mailing lists.
-
- Phone BookPrint a phone book containing the selected entries. The phone book
- can be printed on a laser or dot matrix printer. You will be asked for two font
- selections ── one for titles (the header and footer of each page) and a second
- font for the entries.~~Fonts should be no more than 10cpi or 12 points; 12 to
- 17cpi mono-spaced (fixed) fonts are recommended.~~Use of proportional fonts
- will cause the index at the top of each page to "float."
-
- Laser EnvelopesPrint selected records on envelopes on your laser
- printer.~~|NOTES|~Records must be Selected before they can be printed.~~If the
- MailCode.SFL soft font is in the WML directory it will automatically be used to
- print a postal bar code at the bottom of the envelope.
-
- Laser LabelsPrint selected records on laser labels (8½x11-inch sheet of
- labels). A window will open for you to define the label sheet dimensions,
- margins, and the items you want to print on the labels. This is the same window
- as accessed with the Preferences/Laser Labels menu option, and any changes you
- make in this window will be saved for future sessions.~~|NOTES|~~If you are
- using 3-across labels (the standard type), there is not enough room to print a
- bar code for an 11-digit U.S. zip code. Thus, even if you have the Auto
- 11-digit Zip option turned ON (on the Preferences/Other screen), you will only
- get 5- or 9-digit zip bar codes on the labels. If you are using 2-across labels
- then the full 11-digit bar codes will be printed.
-
- What if data runs into next label?You may find that the data for one entry
- runs into the next label (to the right). Here are some common reasons for this
- problem and their solutions:~~|■| The font is too large ── if you are using a
- PCL 5 laser printer (such as a LaserJet III or 4) then go to the
- Preferences/Printers screen, highlight the option for the Laser Labels font,
- and press F3; choose the same font (or a different one) and then set the point
- size to a smaller number (try 8 or 9 points)~~|■| The font is too wide ── fonts
- have different widths, so even at the same point size two fonts may be
- dramatically different. Try using a different font (use the same procedure as
- above).~~|■| Entries are all-CAPS ── with proportionally-spaced fonts, capital
- letters take more space than lower-case ones. If you already have invested a
- lot of time in a mailing list, there is not much you can do except try a
- smaller point size or different font. Enter data using both upper- and
- lower-case letters in the future.
-
- Continuous LabelsPrint selected records on the type of label shown on the
- menu. The label types you wish to print upon are chosen on the
- Preferences/Labels screen.~~|═| Records must be selected before they will
- print.
-
- ExitEnd WML (which will return you to DOS or your menu). Always exit the
- programme before turning your computer's power off.
-
- Data EntryThis menu provides the means for you to enter and change information
- in your mailing lists and group list.
-
- NamesDE_NamesUse this to add new entries to a mailing list file or to change
- existing entries. Each screen contains one entry (like a single Rolodex
- card).~~|SPECIAL FUNCTIONS|~~Notice the special function keys listed near the
- bottom of your screen (you should see some right now). You can press a function
- key to perform it's function whenever it is shown on the screen or you can
- |click on the function| description with a mouse.~~|F1| pops open the help
- window. While on the State/Province field pressing |F1| will display a list of
- States & Provinces from which you may choose and the mailing abbreviation for
- that state will be inserted into the record.~~|F2| will display a list of
- entries on file. You can scroll through this list and choose an entry.~~|F3|
- will display the list of Groups you have defined, showing the ones to which the
- current entry belongs (if any). You may then select & clear groups as apply to
- the entry. Notice that the word |Group| under the F3 key (near the bottom of
- the screen) shows up dim (grey) if there are no groups defined for the
- displayed entry and |bright| (yellow or bright white) if groups are
- defined.~~To change the status of the four toggles near the top-right of the
- window, hold down the |«Alt»| key while pressing one of the letters highlighted
- (e.g., Alt-D for the Delete toggle). Alternately you may use a mouse to click
- on the toggles.~~|EDITING KEYS|~~WML uses a familiar DOS-style cursor to
- indicate the data entry position within a field. If a field is empty, the
- entire field will be highlighted and the cursor will be at the left-most
- position. You may move the cursor without destroying data so that, for example,
- you can change "Avenue" to "Street" without having to re-type the other
- information in that field.~~The |Ins| (insert) key switches between "insert"
- mode (the cursor becomes an underline; new data will push other information to
- the right) and "over-write" mode (the cursor is a large block; new data will
- erase information under the cursor).~~The |Del| (delete) key deletes the
- character at the cursor.~~|Home| and |End| keys move the cursor to the start &
- end of the field. If you hold down the |Ctrl| (control) key and then press
- either Home or End, the file position will jump to the top or bottom of the
- file.~~|PgUp| (Page Up) jumps to the previous entry and |PgDn| (Page Down)
- jumps to the next entry within the opened file. Precisely what the previous &
- next entries are depends on the active index.~~|NOTES|~~You don't have to set
- the Number of Times Mailed or Last Mail Date fields ── these are automatically
- maintained by the computer, but you can change them if necessary.~~Phone
- numbers and comments appear only on screen, |not| on labels or envelopes.~~When
- you enter a zip or postal code the State/Province for that code will
- automatically be inserted.~~|ABBREVIATIONS|~~Abbreviations (a.k.a. macros) may
- be used in the Address, City, and Comments fields. If there is enough room on
- the line, any abbreviations found will be expanded to their full text. If there
- is |not| enough room on the line abbreviations will remain as you type
- them.~~For example, you might have "POB" set as "P.O. Box". But if you type
- "12837 Rue de la Wokka Wokka, pob 12" on an address line the "pob" would remain
- as it is because there is not enough room to put "P.O. Box" in its place.
-
- Country/PR Urban DistDE_Names_CountryThis field has a dual purpose:~~1. It
- holds the Country name |if| the address is outside the U.S.A. or Canada (WML
- automatically figures out when to print USA or Canada), or~~2. It may hold the
- name of the Puerto Rico Urban District for P.R. addresses.~~The Country field
- only appears when the |Country setting| on the Preferences/Other screen is set
- to |International|.
-
- TogglesDE_Names_TogglesOn the top right edge of the Names data entry screen
- are four toggles: Delete, Bad address, Omit, and Select. These fields are
- either "on" (indicated by a check mark within the brackets |[√]|) or "off"
- (indicated by empty brackets |[ ]|).~~The |Delete| toggle flags an entry which
- is to be deleted the next time the file is packed. Entries remain on file until
- the File/Pack option is used so that you can review the entries marked for
- deletion before permanently erasing them from disk.~~The |Bad Address| toggle
- indicates that the address on file is incorrect. This maintains the entry on
- file for the purpose of duplicate checking so that it will not be entered again
- with the same bad address.~~The |Omit/Exclude| toggle indicates an entry which
- has a valid address but to which you do not wish to mail. Perhaps it is a
- customer who has been chronically late in paying or a propspect to whom you no
- longer wish to send mailings.~~The |Select| toggle selects a record for
- printing. Selected entries may also be modified as a group using the Actions
- sub-menu on the Print/Select/Query menu.
-
- GroupsGroupsYou can add or change up to 255 group descriptions that apply to
- your mailing lists. Once you define groups you can use the «F3» key while on
- the Names screen to identify the groups to which an entry belongs.
-
- AbbreviationsAbbrThis screen lets you define abbreviations which you can use
- while entering mailing information. For example, if you have a lot of entries
- which had the comment, 'Credit Rating: xx' you could set an abbreviation of CRG
- (or whatever) to expand to 'Credit Rating: '. Then you just type 'CRG B+'.
- Abbreviations are used in the City and Comment fields.
-
- IndexingThis menu lets you choose how you would like the mailing list to be
- ordered for displaying and printing. There are four index options and two
- filter options, separated by a solid line. The setting you choose on this menu
- is shown at the bottom of the screen (next to the date on the status line) and
- affects all output to screen or printer.~~|OPTIONS|~~ |N|ame sorts the list
- alphabetically according to Surname plus First Name plus a portion of the
- Company name~~|C|ompany sorts the list alphabetically according to Company name
- plus Surname~~|A|ddress sorts according to the first address line part of the
- name~~|Z|ip sorts according to the Zip/Postal code plus part of the
- name~~|FILTERS|~~|Selected| displays only the records selected for printing
- (like a dBase SET FILTER TO)~~|Deleted| displays only the records marked for
- deletion (set filter to deleted())~~Selecing both filters will give you
- Selected |and| Deleted records.
-
- FiltersThis is a bit like a filter on a camera in that it affects what you
- see. You can filter selected or deleted records or both.~~|Selected filter|
- will show you those records which are selected for printing, filtering those
- which are not~~|Deleted filter| will show you those records which are marked
- for deletion, filtering those which are not
-
- PreferencesThis menu determines the overall operation of WML.~~|| Use
- |Address| to set your return address.~|| Use |Printers| to define your
- printers~|| Use |Labels| to define the types of labels you will be using ~~|═
- You will not be able to print anything until you define at least one printer.|
-
- AddressAllows you to set up to two return addresses for printing on
- envelopes.
-
- Envelope SizePref_EnvThis screen let's you define the size of envelope on
- which you will be printing.~~|Width & length|: A standard #10 business envelope
- is 9½ inches wide by 4-1/8 inches long (9.5 by 4.125).~~The |Left/Right Offset|
- lets you adjust the position of the return address for best results. A positive
- offset will shift the return address to the right and the addressee to the left
- - in other words, the left & right margins are moved inward. On a laser
- printer, a negative offset will shift the return address text to the left and
- the addressee text to the right - in other words, the left & right margins are
- moved outward.~~The |Top & Bottom Offsets| let you adjust the vertical print
- position. A positive offset will shift text down from the top and up from the
- bottom (margins moved inward). On a PCL laser or ink-jet printer, a negative
- Top or Bottom Offset will shift text up at the top and down at the bottom
- (margins moved outward).~~|Examples|~~If the first line of the return address
- doesn't print, set the Top Offset or T/B Offset to a positive number (like
- 0.2).~~If the bar code is not printing or only partially appears on envelopes,
- it is going past the printer's built-in margin. Adjust the bottom margin to a
- positive number (like 0.2) to move the bar code upwards.
-
- Laser LabelsPref_DefLLSet the characteristics of your laser labels on this
- screen. Enter the number of labels across and the vertical distance between
- labels (measure from the top of one to the top of the next). When you are
- finished press |F7| to save the data you entered, or press |Esc|ape to cancel
- the operation.
-
- Number acrossPref_LLacrossEnter the number of labels which appear
- horizontally on your label sheets. The most common values are 2 and 3.
-
- Vertical distancePref_LLvertThis is the distance, in inches, from the top of
- a label to the top of the next vertically-adjacent label.
-
- Top & Left marginsPref_LLmgnEnter values for the top and left margins of the
- label sheet. Because label sheets vary and different laser and inkjet printers
- can have different origins (the place where it starts printing), you will
- probably need to experiment to find the right margin for your printer. It is
- common to need about a ¼-inch margin for both settings.~~The margin settings
- may be positive or negative numbers. To move the printing higher or further to
- the left, set the margin to a negative number (like -0.2).~~|Helpful Hint|~~Try
- printing on plain paper before you use a sheet of labels, then hold a label
- sheet and the piece of paper up to a light source to see how they line up.
-
- Lines to printPref_LL_LinesThe vertical line spacing is determined by the
- number of lines you wish to include on each label. If you use a large font
- (such as a 14 point font), an entry with seven lines of data (including the
- bar code) may overlap vertically. With smaller fonts this is generally not a
- problem.~~Unless you have special label needs, you will normally want all lines
- activated for mailing labels.
-
- Label TypesPref_DMLabelYou can set WML to work with whatever type of labels
- you use. Once you select this option you will see a menu of label types (some
- of which may be "undefined"). Highlight the one you wish to view and/or change,
- press ─┘Enter, and the label definition window will pop open.~~In this window
- you set the characteristics for this type of label.~~|Name| ── Enter a
- descriptive name. This is for your reference. ~~|Width| ── Enter the width of a
- single label in inches. If there is more than one label across just measure one
- of the labels.~~|Vertical distance| ── Measure the distance from the top of one
- label to the top of the next.~~|Across| ── Enter the number of labels
- horizontally, 1 through 9.~~|Horizontal distance...| ── Measure the distance,
- in inches, from the left edge of one label to the left edge of the next. This
- number doesn't matter if you are using one across labels.~~When you are
- finished entering or changing data just press the |F7| key to save or the
- |Esc|ape key to quit. You can also point & click on the fields and Ok/Cancel
- buttons with a mouse.
-
- Label NamePref_DMLNameThis is a name to identify the type of label (e.g.,
- "Mailing", "Shipping", etc.) which can be up to 16-characters long.
-
- Label WidthPref_DMLWidthThis is the width, in inches, of the label,
- measuring between the left and right edges.
-
- Vertical DistancePref_DMLVertThis is the distance, in inches, from the top
- of a label to the top of the next vertically-adjacent label.
-
- Number AcrossPref_DMLAcrossEnter the number (1 through 9) of labels
- available horizontally.
-
- Horizontal DistancePref_DMLHorizIf your labels are arranged with more than
- one label across you must tell WML what the distance is from the left edge of
- one label to the left edge of the next horizontally-adjacent label.
-
- Left MarginPref_DMLLeftThis is the distance, in inches, to offset the
- printing from the left margin. Some printers have their paper sensors located a
- few inches from the left-most printing edge which may mean you must load your
- labels to the right of the left-print-edge. On my NEC P5300 I must load my
- 1-across labels 1-inch to the right in order to activate the paper sensor, so I
- set the left margin for 1.00 inch.
-
- Lines to printPref_DML_LinesIf you define too many lines to be printed on
- labels they will not fit with standard vertical spacing. In this situation your
- printer will be set to tighter-than-usual line spacing to allow for the extra
- lines. In this case it is a good idea to print a test label to check for line
- overlap before printing all labels.~~You can change the number of lines printed
- on this type of label using the Preferences/Continuous Labels set-up screen.
-
- Other SettingsPref_OtherThese settings affect the way in which WML operates.
- Briefly, they are:~~1. |Back-up method| determines whether or not compression
- software is used for back-up copies (the compression software must be
- accessible via your DOS path)~~2. |Country| determines your home country, zip
- code format, etc.~~3. |Directory format| determines how your files will be
- displayed when you use the File menu.~~4. |Alert sound| determines the sound
- used to call your attention to problems, incorrect responses, etc.~~5. |Auto
- 11-digit zip| determines whether WML will calculate the extra two digits for a
- 9-digit U.S. zip code (this does not apply to 5-digit zip codes).~~6.
- |Incomplete addresses| determines whether entries with incomplete address
- information will be printed on labels and envelopes.

- Directory FormatPref_DirFmtPress the |F3| key to set this field ── a menu of
- choices will appear from which you may highlight a choice & press
- |─┘Enter|.~~Lists of files (on screens such as File/Open, File/Erase, etc.)
- can be displayed in one of three formats:~~1. DOS file name first, followed by
- size, date, and description~~2. DOS file name only~~3. Description followed by
- DOS file name, size, and date.~~Files are organized alphabetically from left to
- right, so option #1 will sort the list on the DOS file name whereas option #3
- will sort the list according to the description.

- Alert SoundPref_ErrSndPress the |F3| key to set this field ── a menu of
- choices will appear from which you may highlight a choice & press
- |─┘Enter|.~~You can specify whether you want WML to be silent or use a tone to
- call your attention to problems (e.g., printer off-line), warnings (e.g., when
- data is about to be abandoned), etc.
-
- Auto 11-digit ZipPref_AutoZipIf an address has a 9-digit zip, WML can figure
- out the extra 2-digits and check-digit. Since there may be exceptions to the
- rule you may turn the automatic zip expansion off, which will print 9-digit
- zips as they are and will only print 11-digit zips if the full zip code is on
- file.
-
- Print incomplete addressesPref_NoAddThis setting helps to avoid mailing to
- undeliverable addresses. If this option is set to "Print", then entries with
- incomplete address information will be printed anyway. If set to "Don't print",
- entries with no address will |not| be printed on labels and envelopes, even if
- they are selected to print.~~|NOTES|~~Entries which have city, state/province,
- and zip code are considered valid since some destinations do not have street
- address information (especially in small towns)~~This setting affects:~|√|

- File ImportPref_ImportThis setting determines how duplicate entries will be
- handled when you are import a file.~~|Ignore duplicates| will |not| add
- duplicate entries to the open file.~~|Include duplicates| will include
- duplicates (this is the same as turning duplicate checking off)~~|Ask each
- time| will pop open a window each time a duplicate entry is encountered.
-
- Capitalize City fieldPref_CityThis setting determines how the city field
- will be accepted on the Data Entry/Names screen.~~|All upper case| will accept
- city names in upper case letters only. The U.S. post office prefers city names
- to be in upper case.~~|Capitalize| will capitalize the first letter of each
- word in the city name.~~|Leave as typed| will leave the city name as you type
- it, and will allow upper and lower case letters.
-
- Default 3rd phone descriptionPref_Phone3This setting determines the default
- description for the third phone number of each entry. "Default" means that this
- is the description which appears on new records, although you can change it if
- you wish. The default should be set to the description you will most often use.
- For example, if you use the first phone number for an office or "work" number
- and the third phone number is most commonly a person's home phone number (if
- any), you may want to set the default description to be "Home".~~Remember, this
- is only the default which will be applied to new records; you can change the
- description on each entry as desired.
-
- PrintersPref_PtrsDefine the laser and/or dot matrix printers you will use
- with WML, including font definitions.~~√ Use the up and down arrows to move
- between the fields~~√ When |F3/List| is displayed near the bottom of your
- screen you can press the |F3| key to open a window of choices.~~√ For help with
- a particular field, position the cursor on the field and press the |F1| key.
-
- Printer PortPref_PtrPortThis is the "channel" WML will use to access each of
- your printers ── LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3. If you have a switch box you can set both
- printers to the same port. If you only have one printer it is probably
- connected to LPT1.
-
- Setting Printer ModelPref_PtrSetOn this line you define the printer you will
- be using so that WML knows how to control it properly. Many printers, even
- different brands, use the same control codes. If your printer is not on the
- list look in your manual to find a model it emulates. Dot matrix printers are
- usually Epson or IBM compatible.~~To set this field:~~|1.| Press the |F3| key
- or double-click with a mouse. A window of printer choices will "pop up" on your
- screen.~~|2.| Use the up/down/PgUp/PgDn keys to highlight your choice then
- press ─┘Enter.
-
- PCL Soft Font DirectoryPref_SoftDirIf you use a PCL laser printer you can
- use soft fonts (fonts stored on disk which are sent to the laser printer as
- needed. When you choose the |Select a Soft Font| option when setting a PCL font
- you will be given the chance to specify the drive and path on which your font
- files reside. Any new information you enter here will be saved as the new
- default soft font directory.
-
- Return Address FontPref_RAFontSelect the font you would like to use to print
- the return address on envelopes. Since the post office does not need to use
- their computers to read the return address information, you may use any type
- of font in practically any size you want.~~To set this field:~~|1.| Press the

- will "pop up" on your screen.~~|2.| Use the up/down/PgUp/PgDn keys to highlight
- your choice then press ─┘Enter.~~|3.| If the font is scalable you will be
- asked to enter the size of print you would like to use.~~|NOTES|~~Envelopes are
- printed in landscape orientation. To use soft fonts for envelopes you must have
- file names ending in .SFL.
-
- Addressee FontPref_AdFontSelect the font you would like to use to print the
- addressee on envelopes.~~To set this field:~~|1.| Press the |F3| key or
- double-click with a mouse. A window of font choices will "pop up" on your
- screen.~~|2.| Use the up/down/PgUp/PgDn keys to highlight your choice then

- size of print you would like to use.~~|NOTES|~~■ The U.S. Post Office prefers
- san-serif (Helvetica, Univers, Swiss, etc.) fonts in the range of 8-18 points
- for their OCR readers.~~■ Envelopes are printed in landscape orientation. To
- use soft fonts for envelopes you must have file names ending in .SFL.
-
- Label & Phone Book FontPref_LLFontSelect the font you would like to use when
- printing laser labels (8.5 x 11-inch sheets of labels) and the phone book. The
- U.S. Postal Service (USPS) prefers |sans serif| fonts, such as Helvetica,
- Helvette, Univers, or Swiss in a |size of 8 to 18 points| ── 9 or 10 points is
- best for 3-across labels while 10 or 12 are good for 2-across labels.
- Experiment with sheets of plain paper to see how different fonts will look and
- fit on your labels. For the phone book a 10 point font works well.
-
- Titles FontPref_TtlFontSelect the font you would like to use to print report
- titles. This is used for the Group List, Phone Book, and Zip/Postal Code
- Distribution List.~~To set this field:~~|1.| Press the |F3| key or double-click
- with a mouse. A window of font choices will "pop up" on your screen.~~|2.| Use

- If the font is scalable you will be asked to enter the size of print you would
- like to use.~~|NOTES|~~Reports are printed in portrait orientation. A soft font
- will have to end in .SFP to be used for report titles.
-
- Manual FeedPref_ManFeedThis field specifies whether you will manually feed
- envelopes or if you have an envelope tray. If you set this to "Yes" WML will
- send a Manual Feed command to the laser printer before printing envelopes. On
- some lasers this does nothing, but on most it will cause the printer to wait
- for an envelope to be inserted in the manual feed slot (which is on top of the
- paper tray for H-P & Canon printers).
-
- Impact Printer FontsPref_DMFontThese fields let you select the fonts to use
- in printing envelopes, continuous labels, and reports on your dot matrix
- printer.~~The Labels & Phone Book font definition is used for printing both
- continuous labels and the main body of the phone book. The Titles font is used
- in printing the title line for the Group List, Phone Book, and Zip/Postal Code
- Distribution List.~~To set this field:~~|1.| Press the |F3| key or double-click
- on the field with a mouse. A window of font choices will "pop up" on your
- screen.~~|2.| Use the up/down/PgUp/PgDn keys to highlight your choice then
- press ─┘Enter.~~|3.| If the font is scalable you will be asked to enter the
- size of print you would like to use.
-
- Pause for EnvelopesPref_DMPauseIf you use ordinary envelopes set this field
- to |N|o. This will cause WML to pause between each envelope so you can load it
- properly in your printer.~~If you use continuous envelopes (a box of envelopes
- all connected to each other) then set this field to |Y|es so that WML will
- print all of them without pausing.~~|NOTES|~~In most cases this field doesn't
- matter because the printer will stop printing on its own as each envelope is
- completed. However, if your printer:~~a. has no out-of-paper sensor so that it
- always prints regardless of whether there's anything to print on, or~~b. will
- not print single envelopes because it thinks it's out of paper so that you have
- to jam a business card in the back to make it print (thereby defeating the
- out-of-paper sensor),~~then this pause will make WML wait for you and help
- prevent printing on the platten.
-
- Duplicate CheckingPref_DupCkA dot to the left of any of these three options
- means that it is turned ON.~~When a dup checking option is turned ON you will
- be told each time a potential duplicate is detected.~~|| Your duplicate
- checking selection applies to entering new records from the keyboard as well as
- importing from other files~~|| Address option checks the file for duplicate
- Address-line-1 only; line 2 of address is |not| checked for duplicates
