-
- The Business, Personal, and custom buttons are all there for you to setup
- PostMaster to print on the size envelope of your choosing.
-
- The open and save buttons allow you to open address files for addresses you
- have previously saved, and the save button allows you to save these addresses
- for future use. A very useful feature unique to postmaster is that in the
- open dialog box, whichever address file you have selected, that address
- will be displayed in a window below the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons so you
- don't have to remember the filenames for all your addresses. The address
- displayed in the window will be posted in the address window of the main
- postmaster window when you click 'OK'.
-
- The Print button does exactly that, Prints your envelope using the default
- printer.
-
- The Help button brings up the main PostMaster help system. This file
- contains all the information you will need to make PostMaster productive
- for you.
-
- The about button brings up the 'About' window, showing you the current
- version you are using.
-
- The Quit button quits postmaster without having to select close from the
- control button in the upper left corner.
-
- The Options button brings up a menu window with some seldom used functions.
-
- Change return address font-Changes the font used to display and
- print the return address. The display limit is 14 point, yet
- the printed output will use the size you selected. Also for
- printer fonts, that can't be displayed, the display font will
- not change, yet the printed output will.
-
- Change address font-Changes the font the address is displayed
- and printed in. Subject to the same rules as for return address
- fonts as detailed above.
-
- Open return address-Allows you to open an .ENV file for use as
- your return address.
-
- Save return address-Allows you to save a return address to disk
- for future use as either a return address, or address.
-
- Printer Setup-Allows you to configure PostMaster for use with
- either a Laser or Dot Matrix Printer. If you choose 'Laser' you will
- also have to select the feed position. The choices are Left, Center
- or Right feed. Center feed is the default. You only need to set this
- once, unless you want to change it or you delete your INI file.
-
- Mailing List-Opens the mailing list window, and lets you set up any
- number of 'lists' containing as many addresses as you want. You
- may then save your list for later use. In printing a full mailing list
- of envelopes, PostMaster takes the return address, and all font
- information from the main window, then will load your list, and print
- all the envelopes for that list with the push of one button.
-
- Register-Allows you to enter the registration number you receive
- from Tropical Software. This will change the program to be a
- registered copy and get rid of the 'remember to register'
- reminders.

-
- When you first run PostMaster it will create a file called POST.INI
- This file contains information that postmaster uses upon startup. If
- you accidentally delete this file, don't worry. The next time you run
- PostMaster it will create a new INI file. You will however have to
- re-enter your registration number. DO NOT LOSE your registration number.
- DO NOT attempt to alter the INI file, if you do PostMaster may not run
- properly. If you do accidentally alter the INI file, then delete the
- corrupt file, and run PostMaster to create a new INI file. You will
- have to re-enter you registration number.
