APCAL_HLP_V3.20 m <HLP_GRP00001> General Help Page 1 of 7 This program contains functions for displaying yearly and monthly calendars, editing and printing monthly calendars and daily appoint- ments, and setting alarms to remind yourself of important events. Throughout the help text in this program the convention used to denote when 2 keys must be pressed at the same time is to combine them with a plus (+) sign. For example, Alt+D indicates to press and hold down the Alt key and then press the D key. Then release both. The arrow keys are denoted by Right, Left, Up and Down. PULL-DOWN MENU -------------- The pull-down menu at the top of the screen has several options which can be used throughout the program. To activate this menu press the Alt key. This will highlight the "File" field. The right and left arrow keys can be used to move from one field to another. To pull down the sub-menu for a field press the Enter key. Pressing one of the bold characters on the top line of the pull-down will move to the field and pull down its sub-menu. If a sub-menu is already pulled down, then the bold characters on the top line are no <HLP_GRP00002> General Help Page 2 of 7 longer active. The up and down arrow keys can be used to move from one sub-menu field to another. Pressing Enter, selects the currently highlighted sub-menu field. Pressing the bold character of one of the sub-menu fields automatically selects it. Pressing Esc, exits the pull-down without making a selection. Once a selection is made, or Esc pressed, the appropriate action is taken and control is returned to the main menu below. When a field in the pull-down menu is not currently active it is dis- played in a different color (usually dark grey on most color monitors and totally blacked out on monochrome monitors). Selecting one of these fields does nothing. The following sections describe the main menu fields of the pull-down menu. The "Edit" section is different depending on what section of the program you are in. It is described in the help for each section. Some of the pull-down options can be executed directly, without going through the pull-down, these options list the appropriate key(s) (to the right in parenthesis) to type to execute the command directly. <HLP_GRP00003> General Help Page 3 of 7 Files ----- The files section of the main pull-down has the following options: Save - Saves the currently displayed appointment, monthly calendar or alarm file. Delete - Deletes the currently displayed appointment, monthly calendar or alarm file. Print - Prints the currently displayed appointment or monthly calendar file. Dos Shell - Temporarily brings up the DOS command line. It is import- ant to remember to type "exit" when you are done, to return to the program, since it is still taking up memory. If you wish to perma- nently leave the program use the "Exit" selection below. Go Resident - Exits the program, but leaves it resident in memory, so that it can be activated with the hot-key. Unload - Exits the program and removes it from memory. The program must have previously been loaded resident. Exit - Exits the program. <HLP_GRP00004> General Help Page 4 of 7 Options ------- The options section of the main pull-down has the following options: Appointments (F2), Alarm (F3), Month Calendar (F4), Year Calendar (F5) and Month/Appt. (F6). Appointments - switches to the appointment edit screen. The appoint- ment file for the currently selected date is displayed. Alarm - switches to the alarm edit screen. The alarms, if any, for the currently selected date are displayed. Month Calendar - switches to the monthly calendar edit screen. The monthly calendar for the currently selected date is displayed. Year Calendar - switches to the yearly calendar display. Month/Appt. - switches to the split screen month/appointment display. <HLP_GRP00005> General Help Page 5 of 7 Search ------ The search section of the main pull-down has the following options: Forward (F7) and Backward (Shift+F7). This pull-down sub-menu is only active when the split screen month/appointment display is active. Forward - search for the given text in appointment files after the current date. Backward - search for the given text in appointment files before the current date. <HLP_GRP00006> General Help Page 6 of 7 Program Config. --------------- The configuration section of the main pull-down has the following options: Color, Appointment Template, Printer, Holidays, Start Screen, Alarm, TSR, Time and Auto Save. Color - configures the program colors. Appointment Template - configures the default appointment screen. Printer - configures printer parameters. Holidays - configures the holidays which are automatically built into the monthly calendars when the are first created. Start Screen - configures the first screen which appears when the program is loaded. Alarm - configures the alarm parameters. Tsr - configures the parameters associated with loading the program as a TSR. Time - configures how times and dates are displayed. Auto Save - turns the auto save feature on and off. <HLP_GRP00007> General Help Page 7 of 7 EXECUTING APCAL --------------- The syntax for the APCAL command is: APCAL [/L] [/M] where: /L Loads the program as a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident). /M Forces the program to use the monochrome display attributes. If the /L switch is not used, then APCAL can be loaded resident by selecting "Go Resident" from the "File" menu. When the program is resident it can be activated, at any time, with the hot-key and exited by selecting "Exit" from the "File" menu. To completely remove the program from memory, select "Unload" from the "File" menu. This option has no effect if the program is not loaded resident. APCAL does not have to be run as a TSR. You can execute it without the /L switch and exit by selecting the "Exit" option on the "File" menu. The program will be loaded and completely removed from memory each time you run it in this way. The program cannot be popped up from within other programs, via the hot-key, when run in this way. Also, alarms will not sound unless you are in APCAL at the time of the alarm. <HLP_GRP00201> Appointment Help Page 1 of 5 For help on other topics, exit this screen by pressing the Tab key until the END field is highlighted and press Enter. Then press Alt+H (press ALT and the H key at the same time) to bring up the help pull down menu. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the desired topic and press Enter. If this is your first time in APCAL then you should probably select the "General" topic. The appointment edit screen is used to enter your schedule for the currently selected date. If a previous schedule was saved for this date then it will appear. If not, then the appointment template will be displayed (see "Configuration" help). The arrow keys are used to move around the screen. Appointment text can be typed into each appointment slot. The options on the "File" pull down menu can be used to save, print and delete the appointment file. <HLP_GRP00202> Appointment Help Page 2 of 5 The following keys can be used in the appointment edit screen. Some of these can also be selected from the pull-down menu. Insert toggles insert mode on and off. Delete deletes the character at the current cursor position. Home moves to the beginning of the appointment line. End moves to the end of the appointment line. Backspace moves the cursor left and deletes the character at that position. Enter moves to the beginning of the next line. F1 brings up this help screen. F3 switches to the alarm screen. F4 switches to the monthly calendar screen. F5 switches to the yearly calendar screen. F6,TAB switches to the split screen month/appointment display. F9 is used to toggle editing of the time fields. <HLP_GRP00203> Appointment Help Page 3 of 5 Alt activates the pull-down menu. Pressing Alt plus one of the bold characters in the top pull-down line activates that pull-down menu. Alt+C copies the current line to a scratch buffer. Alt+M copies the current line to scratch and then erases it. Alt+I overwrites the current line with the contents of the scratch buffer created by the last Alt+C or Alt+M. Alt+D erases the characters from the cursor position to the end of the line. Alt+L erases the current line. Alt+A brings up the alarm parameter menu for the appointment at the current cursor position. <HLP_GRP00204> Appointment Help Page 4 of 5 To set/remove an alarm for the appointment at the current cursor posi- tion press Alt+A. This brings up the appointment alarm menu. The first field in the alarm menu toggles the alarm ON and OFF. Press the space bar to toggle between the 2 values. Tab moves to the next field and Shift+Tab moves to the previous. The next field sets the number of minutes before the appointment the alarm will sound. Entering any- thing other than an integer number of minutes causes a beep and the field cannot be exited until an integer is entered. The duration field sets the number of minutes the alarm will continue to sound if it is snoozed. It must also be an integer. For example, if the current appointment time is 2:00 pm and the "Number Of Minutes Before" is set to 15, the alarm will sound at 1:45 pm. If "Snooze" is selected when the alarm sounds, then the alarm will snooze for the time period set in the alarm configuration. If this value is set to 5, then the alarm will sound again 5 minutes from the time at which "Snooze" was selected. This continues until "End" is selected. The alarm will also end if the "Duration" time is exceeded. For example, if the duration is set to 15 minutes then the alarm will not sound after 2:00 pm, even if it is snoozed. <HLP_GRP00205> Appointment Help Page 5 of 5 Pressing Enter on the OK field sets the alarm using the entered para- meters and ends the alarm menu. Pressing Enter on the CANCEL field ends the alarm menu and discards any changes made to the parameters. Pressing Esc on any field has the same effect. Appointments with alarms have a check in the alarm column. Up to 10 alarms can be set for any day. This includes any alarms set in the regular alarm menu. <HLP_GRP00301> Regular Alarm Help Page 1 of 4 For help on other topics, exit this screen by pressing the Tab key until the END field is highlighted and press Enter. Then press Alt+H (press ALT and the H key at the same time) to bring up the help pull down menu. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the desired topic and press Enter. If this is your first time in APCAL then you should probably select the "General" topic. There are 2 types of alarms which can be set in this program: Appoint- ment alarms and Regular alarms. The appointment alarms are assoc- iated with an appointment and are set in the appointment edit screen. Regular and Boot alarms are set in the alarm menu and are not associated with an appointment. The top portion of the regular alarm screen consists of the message text for each alarm set for the current date. The arrow (->), at the left, points to the selected alarm. The parameters associated with this alarm are displayed in the box in the bottom portion of the screen. The up and down arrow keys can be used to select other alarms in the list. The "File" options on the pull-down menu can be used to save and delete the alarm file for the currently selected date. <HLP_GRP00302> Regular Alarm Help Page 2 of 4 The following keys can be used in the alarm screen. Some of these can also be selected from the pull-down menu. F1 brings up this help screen. F2 switches to the appointment screen. F4 switches to the monthly calendar screen. F5 switches to the yearly calendar screen. F6 switches to the split screen month/appointment display. Alt activates the pull-down menu. Pressing Alt plus one of the bold characters in the top pull-down line activates that pull-down menu. Alt+A adds another alarm. Alt+D deletes the currently selected alarm. Alt+M modifies the currently selected alarm. When Alt+A or Alt+M is pressed, the parameter menu at the bottom of the screen is activated. These parameters can then be edited. Alt+A adds a new alarm and Alt+M allows the modification of the parameters for the currently selected alarm. Tab moves to the next field and Shift+Tab moves to the previous field in this menu. <HLP_GRP00303> Regular Alarm Help Page 3 of 4 The first field in the alarm parameter menu determines whether the alarm is a REGULAR or BOOT alarm. The space bar toggles between the 2 values. Regular alarms occur for the time interval given in the start and end time fields. Boot alarms occur when the computer is first booted and continue until midnight unless terminated. The start time fields set the time when the alarm will first sound, if it is a REGULAR alarm. The hours field must be an integer between 1 and 12 (24 in 24 hour mode) and the minutes field must be an integer between 0 and 59. Entering anything else causes a beep and the field cannot be exited until a valid integer is entered. The last field on the start time line indicates whether the time is am or pm (not present in 24 hour mode). The space bar toggles between am and pm. The end time sets the end of a REGULAR alarm. The fields have the same restrictions as the start time fields. The start and end time are not set for BOOT alarms. <HLP_GRP00304> Regular Alarm Help Page 4 of 4 For example, if a regular alarm is set to start at 1:45 pm and end at 2:00 pm then the alarm will first sound at 1:45 pm. If "Snooze" is selected when the alarm sounds, then the alarm will snooze for the time period set in the alarm configuration. If this value is 5, then the alarm will sound again 5 minutes from the time at which "Snooze" was selected. This continues until "End" is selected or the time is later than 2:00 pm. The message field sets the text which will be displayed when the alarm sounds. Pressing Enter on the OK field sets the alarm using the entered para- meters and ends the alarm parameter menu. Pressing Enter on the CANCEL field ends the alarm parameter menu and discards any changes made to the parameters. Pressing Esc on any field has the same effect. Up to 10 alarms can be set for any day. This includes any alarms set in the appointment menu. <HLP_GRP00401> Monthly Calendar Help Page 1 of 3 For help on other topics, exit this screen by pressing the Tab key until the END field is highlighted and press Enter. Then press Alt+H (press ALT and the H key at the same time) to bring up the help pull down menu. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the desired topic and press Enter. If this is your first time in APCAL then you should probably select the "General" topic. The monthly calendar screen can be used just like a wall calendar. If a previous calendar was saved for this date then it will appear. Otherwise, a new calendar is built and any configured holidays which occur within the month are added (see "Configuration" help). The arrow keys are used to move around within a day block. Any text can be typed into a day block.
