Plus one simple reminder:
Not all synonyms have the same meaning or shade of intent.
If the proper definition of a word or term is not known or
not understood - LOOK IT UP. It is very easy to use the wrong
term instead of the proper one.

A couple of notes:
Thesaur/Plus refers to BOTH Thesaur Plus AND Thesaur
Thesaur Plus refers to ONLY Thesaur Plus
Thesaur refers to ONLY Thesaur
Q> What is Thesaur Plus?
A> Thesaur Plus is a pop-up Thesaurus, whenever you need
a different word or a different shade of meaning than the
word that comes to mind, pop-up Thesaur Plus and get just
the word you wanted, but couldn't quite remember!
Q> Well then what is Thesaur? and how are they different?
A> Thesaur is also a thesaurus, but it is not a memory resident
program - and you can't pop it up whenever you want. Other than
that Thesaur uses the same commands, and only needs DOS 2.0 and one
floppy drive to work compared to the Plus requirements of DOS 3.0 and
a Hard Drive. Thesaur also adds a couple of features not found
in Thesaur Plus.
Q> Are both Thesaur and Thesaur Plus easy to use?
A> Most Definitely! Thesaur/Plus was designed with simplicity
in mind. You only need to remember your Hot-key (the key
combination you use to pop Thesaur Plus up over what you are
doing now) to use the Thesaur Plus, and you only need to start
Thesaur - All available commands are shown in a menu after you
get started! And both programs use the same commands to make it
even easier!

How to Install Thesaur/Plus
Thesaur/Plus should reside on your Hard Drive for best performance,
so you will need to copy all the files from this disk to the
subdirectory of your choice on the Hard drive. (Thesaur/Plus do not
care what drive or directory they are on, but all the files MUST
stay together in the same directory!)
---> Also, do not move the files around if Thesaur Plus is in memory
- First remove it from memory before moving the data files.)
Once you have all the files where you would like, you can then
run CONFIG.EXE to change the Default Colors, and Hot Key.
Once you have copied the files (If you wish) and changed the Default
Colors and HotKey (Again, If you wish) - to Load Thesaur Plus into
memory just run the file THESPLUS.EXE, or if you are not in the
current drive or directory you will have to add those too. To run
Thesaur just run the file THESAUR.EXE.
Once again the installation instructions are..
1) Copy all files on this disk to a subdirectory on your Hard
Drive
2) Make that Subdirectory the Default (ex. CD C:\THESPLUS)
3) Run CONFIG.EXE (Not Required)
4) Run THESPLUS.EXE or THESAUR.EXE

Thesaur/Plus - Page 6
HOW TO USE THESAUR PLUS
To Load Thesaur Plus into memory, just run the THESPLUS.EXE file.
you may need to add the proper drive and directory that the .EXE
is in so DOS can find the program.
NOTE: Your personal Hot Key is shown when Thesaur Plus is
first loaded into memory, and also if you try to
re-load Thesaur Plus into memory.
After you hit the Hot Key, Thesaur Plus will automatically
look for the word that the cursor is on, or the word that
was immediately to the left of the cursor. If the cursor
was not on or next to a word, then you are asked for the
word that you would like looked up.
Now you are given a Menu of Options of what you can do next.
These Options are discussed in detail on the following pages.
