GENERAL INFORMATION
If you have used programs that utilize pull down menus and are familiar
with the commands associated with general computer use, then skip this section.
Moving about the screen:
The Fitness Tests utilize pull down menus. The menus can be reached
by pressing <F10> or clicking on the menu bar (the menu bar is that strip
across the top of the screen were the menus come down).
To select an item, either click on the item you want, press the
highlighted letter, or use the direction keys to highlight the item and
press <ENTER>.
Moving about the test boxes is accomplished by pressing the <TAB> key
or clicking on the desired item. Pressing <ENTER> usually closes the test
boxes and sends you to the next screen. Pressing <ESC> will cancel the test.
While entering information, if the computer beeps and returns you to the
same screen, you have more than likely entered a letter where the computer was
expecting a number.
Example: on the walk/run test, when it asks you for distance covered in
miles, if you entered two instead of 2 the computer would beep and return you
to the same screen. To correct the problem, click on the line you wish to
correct (or press <TAB> until the line in question is highlighted), and enter
a number.
Saving and retrieving results:
When you "save" a file you are telling your computer to keep it until
you want it again. With The Fitness Tests you will save the results of your
tests for future reference. Pressing <F2> will access the save option. You
will then be prompted for a name under which to save the results. Choose a
name that will remind you as to who took the tests and when they were
taken. Press <ENTER> and the results will be saved under the filename you
specified. The rules associated with all DOS filenames apply to these files.
Example:
A:\SepJoe.FTD (saves the results in the root directory of A:)
C:\Fittest\Results\SepJoe.FTD (saves the results in the \Fittest\Results
directory of C:)
When you "retrieve" a file you are telling your computer to get the results
you saved. Pressing <F3> will access the retrieve option. You will then be
prompted for the name under which you saved the results. Retrieve the results
by highlighting the filename and pressing <ENTER> twice. The results will be
entered into memory and can be viewed <ALT-V> or printed <ALT-P>.
A good time to retrieve old results is before you take the tests again.
You will be able to see how much improvement you have made since your last
testing.
Registering:
To print out the registration form press <Alt-R>. Move between questions
by pressing <TAB>. Fill in the information that applies to you, then press
<ENTER>. Mailing information will be on the printout.
