- THE ENVELOPE PROGRAM
-
- Welcome to the ENVELOPE program. This program will detect
- the address block included at the head of a business letter
- and will print it on an envelope. Since the character
- formatting systems often differ between word processors, you
- can set ENVELOPE to work with the particular word processor
- you are using. As you receive it, the program is set for
- word processors that produce text in pure ASCII format, as is
- frequently the case. Other word processor choices such as
- Word Perfect (C) or Microsoft Word (C) are available and will
- remain in effect for subsequent use until changed.
-
- The program can be run by typing "env" and following by
- pressing ENTER. First time users should read the more
- detailed instructions and set-up information obtained by
- selecting Option 4 in the Main Menu. This will bring up a
- second menu from which you can obtain help, or select a
- default drive, envelope size, or word processor. You can
- also record your return address for optional printing on the
- envelope.
-
- You can print an envelope address directly from the command
- line by following "env" with the filename assigned to your
- letter and then pressing ENTER. If you wish to include
- your return address in the upper left corner of the
- envelope, add a space and a "1" before pressing ENTER.
- Adding a "2" instead of a 1 will print the envelope without
- your return address. A "3" will print a single label.
-
- Examples: (following each entry with ENTER)
-
- env Loads the Envelope program and
- brings up the Main Menu for the
- selection of Options an letter file
- name.
-
- env filename Brings up the Main Menu for Option
- selection, but the file is known.
-
- env filename 1 Prints the letter file address with
- Option No.1 (include return address)
-
- env filename 2 Prints the letter file address with
- Option No.2, (no return address).
-
- env filename 3 Prints a label with the letter
- address.
-
- Many word processors permit one to temporarily exit to DOS
- and run a program. This is an ideal application for
- ENVELOPE. Using Word Perfect (C) for example, you can
- first print and save your letter, then insert your envelope
- in the printer, tap the code to exit to DOS, type "env
- filename 1", and press ENTER. The address will be printed,
- (also in this example with the return address), and you can
- return to the word processor by typing "Exit".

- The ENVELOPE Program is not coyrighted and may be copied,
- distributed freely, and may be placed on electronic bulletin
- boards. If, after trying the program, you find it useful, a
- small contribution to the author, not over $10, would
- encourage continued production of public domain software.
