Ultimate Power Tips 1.0A (c) 1992 Scanlon Enterprises
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
GETTING STARTED
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Ultimate Power Tips, is a tutorial system which provides
hundreds of amazingly useful tips, tricks and reference articles
about the wonderful world of the PC and compatible computers. In
a way the Ultimate Power Tips are simply a book on a computer
disk. But Ultimate Power Tips offers more speed, flexibility and
FUN than any printed book. A LARGE amount of practical reference
material has been packed within this program. The best thing to
do is take your time since you can always come back to the
Ultimate Power Tips for a paper printout or to search for that
tip or idea using the powerful software utility tools built
right into the program.
If you are at the main menu, use the cursor direction keys
(arrow up, down, right or left) to move to any menu item then
press the return or enter key to open a tutorial section.
Once you are reading a tutorial use the PAGE UP (Pg Up) and PAGE
DOWN (Pg Dn) keys to move up and down through a tutorial - just
like turning pages in a book. Within any tutorial, the F1 help
key tells how you can control colors, turn sound on/off, search
through the tutorial for a title or phrase, print entire
sections on your printer and more. In fact, try pressing the F1
key right NOW and glance at the help screen for a preview of the
special tools and functions you can activate from within any of
the tutorials.
While reading any tutorial, a reminder line appears at the
BOTTOM of the screen to provide helpful hints. When you reach
the END of a tutorial, press the escape key to return to the
main menu.
