Have you ever set a goal for yourself? I'm sure at some point in
your life you have. It's easy to set goals, but extremely hard to meet them.
GOAL TENDER is a goal organizer that helps you stay focused on the task at
hand. Record the goals that are important to you and review them periodically
with GOAL TENDER.
You can even set up the SCHEDULE program, also published on this issue,
to display one of your goals each day. Please read the SCHEDULE documentation
for details!
^1MAIN MENU^0
^1=========^0
The Main Menu appears on the bottom line of the screen and contains the
following options:
Help - Displays helpful information about GOAL TENDER
New - Clears the current Goal List from memory
Load - Provides ability to select and load a Goal
List kept on disk
Add - Add a Goal to the current Goal List
Browse - Provides the ability to view, edit or
delete Goals in the current Goal List
Print - Print the current Goal List
Save - Select an existing file or create a new file
to save the current Goal List in
Exit - Exit the program and return to DOS
Use the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys to move the highlight bar to the
menu function of your choice and press <ENTER>.
When you first run the program a welcome screen appears in a window
located in the center of the screen. Once you Load or Add a Goal to the Goal
List, the welcome screen disappears and the current Goal List is displayed.
You can use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys or <PGUP> and <PGDN> to browse
through the list.
Once you select a menu function, the screen clears and that function's
screen is displayed. While using any of the program functions, a help bar
is located on the bottom line of the screen listing the available keys.
^1BROWSE MENU^0
^1===========^0
The Main Menu Browse function provides a secondary menu that contains
Change, Delete, Next, and Previous functions. The Change and Delete functions
work on the currently displayed Goal. The Next and Previous functions allow
you to move through the Goal List one item at a time. Use the <LEFT> and
<RIGHT> arrow keys to move the highlight bar to the function desired and press
<ENTER> to select that function. You can return to the Main Menu by selecting
Main Menu from the Browse Menu or by pressing <ESC>.
^1GOAL REMINDER^0
^1=============^0
GOAL TENDER can also be used to remind you of the goals you have set. The
program provides the ability of random selection and display of a single goal
or display of the entire Goal List in a scrollable window. In either case you
select these modes of operation by passing command line parameters to the
program when started at the DOS prompt.
For an example of how to run GOAL TENDER automatically each day, please
read the documentation on the SCHEDULE utility. The final example for
SCHEDULE illustrates how GOAL TENDER can be used to display a random goal the
first time you start up your computer each day.
^CRandom Display
Display a randomly selected Goal from the Goal List by typing at the
DOS prompt:
^CGoal -R -F Filename
Once the program loads the file, one of the goals in the list will be selected
and displayed. Press any key to return to the DOS prompt.
^CComplete Display
Display the entire Goal List by typing at the DOS prompt:
^CGoal -C -F Filename
Once the program loads the file, the list is displayed in a window located in
the center of the screen. Use the <UP> arrow, <DOWN> arrow, <PGUP> and <PGDN>
keys to move through the list. Once you have finished reviewing the list,
press <ESC> to return to the DOS prompt.
^1SETTING DISPLAY OPTIONS^0
^1=======================^0
GOAL TENDER provides one final command line parameter that allows you to
force the program to display everything in its monochrome settings. This is
particularly useful when running the program on laptop computers. To run the
program in monochrome mode, type:
^CGOAL M
This parameter can be used in combination with the random and completed
display options. For example, you could also type:
^CGOAL M -R -F Filename or GOAL M -C -F Filename
^COutside BBD
To run this program outside ^1Big Blue Disk^0, type: ^1GOAL^0.
