This label has no preceeding setup commands in the data file,
so it will print using all default parameters: zero left margin,
5 lines per label, 1 line inter-label skip, Draft attribute.
   Press F1 for help screens, or  or spacebar to advance...
         --                      -    --------


Another basic label, separated from its neighbors in the data file by
one or more blank lines.  With no special setup commands above it, it
uses default parameters.  The left printer margin can be adjusted from
the menu's Settings/Margin selections.  The menu's Ruler selection
will display line numbers and printing attributes.


.    PHLBL.LBL default data file
This label has a non-printing comment line (above) attached to it.
Comment lines begin with a period in the leftmost column of the data
file.  The main menu "Find" command will perform case-insensitive text
searches in attached comment lines or the first line of labels.

    This default data file is loaded (if found on path or current
    directory) whenever PHLBL is invoked with no command line argument.
-
    If it's not found, a file selection window will display all files
    and directories available from the current directory, then wait
    for selection.

-
  The following label contains lines using each defined attribute.
  Some lines may not print as expected, depending on your printer:
-
      SMALL ("S") is designed for 20 cpi.  However, Epson FX80/FX100
      printers do not allow combining Compressed and Elite, so
      SMALL will print in Elite mode (12 cpi).
-
      NearLetterQuality ("N") may or may not print on printers
      without NLQ mode.  Epson FX80/FX100's will print this line
      using Draft mode.

    The following sample format can be used for printing advertising
    postcards for mass mailings.  Once the initial layout and printer
    attribute selection has been made, large quantities of cards can
    be produced quickly and easily.
-
    Various layouts of the basic information can be made and saved in
    the same data file.  Then for repetitive mailings to the same
    client list, a different layout can be selected for each mailing
    to vary the format.
-
    A plain card using only a few printer attributes can be laid out
    rapidly.  Multiple attributes take more time and experimentation.

    This sample is set up for 4 x 6 inch cards, which will hold (4 inches
    X 6Lpi) -1 = 23 lines; however, PHLBL currently handles only up to 15
    lines, so @L15, @S9 settings are used.  To print more than 15 lines on
    each card, break the text into two groups and print in separate runs,
    changing the beginning card position for the second run.
