             When you press F1 during APP, this is the TEXT HELP FILE
             which it reads to display the help data.
             You can change it to suit your own needs, it's not real
             critical.
             We don't use help window 0 in APP!

        ========  WEEK-AT-A-GLANCE CALENDAR  ========

        Prints a 7-day calendar for the week you pick from this list.

        Only available in LETTER size.

* help window  3
    ======== PAGE BREAKS SELECTION ========
    USE page breaks: [default]
        Some ASCII TEXT files have IMBEDDED PAGE BREAK CHARACTERS
        within the text. You can identify them, because they look
        like this -->   character.
        They are created with a CNTRL+L keystroke. Ascii code 12.
        This command tells the printer to stop printing this page
        and go on to the next page.

    IGNORE page breaks:
        If you want this program not to use these commands, and to
    print maximum text lines to the paper.

    CUSTOM page breaks:
        You may enter a number from 55-125. This number will set
        the page size. Embedded page breaks will be ignored.
* help window  4
        ======== TAB SELECTION MENU ========
    Select TAB values to match the text file you are printing.
    TABs cause spaces to be inserted into the printed document
    until the column number divided by the TAB amount has a
    remainder of ZERO. ( this is called a MODULUS ).
    Example: if you are at column 5 and TAB = 8 when a TAB char
    is found, SPACES will be inserted in columns 5,6,7,8 before
    the next character is printed.

    Experiment with this option to achieve the best looking
    printed results. You will get used to TABS.

* help window  5

      each square on the paper.

      to the right and bottom.

* help window  8

        ONE SIDE PRINT -   Your document will be printed only on the
          front side of the paper. The back side will be blank.

        BOTH SIDED PRINT - The first printing pass will do all of the
          document front side printing, then PAUSES for you to
          turn the paper over and put it back into the printer, and
          continues to print the back sides of the document.

        DUPLEXING PRINTERS - The program will automatically print on
          both sides of each page if you select BOTH SIDES PRINT and

        ======== SELECT PRINTER FEED TYPE & PAPER SIZE ==========
 AUTOMATIC - The printer feeds paper from the automatic feed portion
             of your paper tray. You just have to make sure that there
             is enough paper in the tray, as usual.
             You must have purchased the proper tray for any paper
             size you select in AUTOMATIC FEED.
 MANUAL FEED - Feed paper by hand into the laser printer.

 NOTE:       MANUAL FEED WILL PRINT ANY PAPER SIZE WHEN YOU FEED
             THE PAPER IN BY HAND. EXAMPLE: LETTER TRAY can MANUAL
             feed LEGAL PAPER without buying the LEGAL size tray!
* help window 10
     ======== SELECT PRINTER PORT ========
     If you don't know which PORT to use:

     First, try PORT 1    ( this is the default, and the most common )
       then, PORT 2.
       then, PORT 3.
     If that doesn't work, go ask a friend who knows a lot about
     computers what you should do next.
     Normally you don't have to worry, just select PORT 1.

     IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE A SOFTWARE "SECURITY" DEVICE IN THE
     PRINTER PORT, AND PRINTING ACTS WRONG: THE SECURITY DEVICE HAS
     FAILED. ASK YOUR VENDOR FOR A NEW KEY! THIS IS HAPPENING VERY
     OFTEN LATELY. ASCII-PRINT PRO CANNOT OVERRIDE A DEFECTIVE KEY!

     We currently don't support COM PORTS for printing.
