<How to use Help>
How to use HELP:
---------------
Context-sensitive help is available from practically any
point in the program when you press F-1. The help information
displayed will be related to the area of the program you are
working in when the help is called. (When calling Help from
the Main Menu, you view this Help screen information first.)
You can scroll through the Help information by:
1) Using the Up & Down cursor keys.
2) Using the mouse (place the pointer to the top or
bottom of the vertical scrollbar on the right side
of the screen and press left mouse button).
3) Using the PageUp or PageDown keys to move a page at
a time or using Ctrl & PageUp or Ctrl & PageDown to
move to the top or bottom of the file.
Notice that the above actions move the scrolling horizonal
bar up and down through the list (or text) areas.
To select a different help area:
1) Press Alt & S to view all the SECTIONS available for
this program (or place the mouse pointer on the
Sections button and double click the left mouse
button.) Move the scrolling highlight bar as
explained above. When the desired Section is
highlighted by the bar, press ENTER (or double click
the left mouse button, with the pointer on the
highlight bar) to select it.
2) Press Alt & T to view all the TOPICS available in the
currently selected Section (or point and double click
the mouse on the Topics button). Move the highlight
bar to the desired topic and select in the same
manner as for the sections.

<General Program Information>
General Information:
-------------------
Family Medical History requires a color monitor and DOS 3.3 or
better. It will run with 400K but is very slow. The
recommended minimum is 512K. Your Config.sys file should call
for a minimum of Files = 30 and Buffers = 20.
A Microsoft-compatible mouse is optional.
A printer is optional. ( All print routines were
designed for standard 8.5x11 tractor feed paper and have
been tested on a Panasonic 1124 dot matrix printer set to
Epson LQ-2500 mode. They MAY work on a laser or a single
sheet feed printer, but are not guaranteed.) If your printer
is not on line when you attempt a print routine, you will
receive an error message and must correct the problem or
abort the print request.
Most program options are selected using push buttons. These
buttons are normally blue with gray lettering. When selected
the buttons change to red with gray lettering. (The Exit or
Escape button is red with yellow lettering and is always
located in the lower right hand corner of the current screen.
When selected, this button changes to white lettering on the
red background.) When any option is NOT available, the button
will change to blue with very dark gray lettering and that
option can not be selected. Options can be selected in
several different ways:
1) Place the mouse pointer on the desired button and
double click the left mouse button.
2) Use the cursor (arrow) keys to cycle through the
option choices until the desired option button
changes to red. Then press ENTER.
3) Use the "Hot Key". Many option buttons will also
have a specified hot key.
a) On some buttons the Hot Key is a single letter
which is highlighted in bright white. Press the
designated letter and the ALT key together to
select the option.
b) Other buttons will name a specific key. Press
the named key to perform the desired option. Some
of these special hot keys are:
1) the ESCape key: to exit or cancel.
2) the INSert key: used to ADD a new record.
3) the DELete key: used to DELETE a record.
4) the F-1 key: used for on-line help.
5) the F-5 key: used for some printing.
6) the F-10 key: used to complete a form.

<<Shareware and Registration>>
<What is Shareware?>
What is Shareware?
-----------------
Shareware is a marketing method which allows computer users
to try a program BEFORE they buy it. If the user likes the
program AND continues to use it beyond a specified period of
time, he/she is obligated to register the use of that program
with the author. Since the Shareware registration fees are
usually small in contrast to comparable commercial offerings,
the software user can receive quality computer programs at a
reasonable cost. These registration fees also support the
program authors and encourage them to produce more and better
quality products. If, on the other hand, the user doesn't like
the Shareware program or does not continue using the program,
he/she simply deletes it and pays nothing!
Family Medical History is distributed as Shareware. It is
not free!. You are granted a limited license to use this
program for a 21 day period for evaluation purposes. If you
continue to use Family Medical History beyond the evaluation
period, you are expected to register your use of the program.
You may freely copy and distribute the Shareware version of
Family Medical History, PROVIDED that the program is not
modified in any way and is kept in its original form with all
files intact. The files included with the Shareware version
are: FMH.EXE, FMH.HLP, FMH.TXT, MEDCATEG.DAT, & MEDCATEG.K01.
The file names created when you run the program are:
MEDHISTO.* & MEDPERSO.*
You may NOT copy and distribute the registered versions of
Family Medical History.
Some medical conditions are hereditary, while other conditions
seem to run more in some families than others. Family Hereditary
History (a bonus included with the deluxe registrations only)
lets you keep a record of your family's hereditary conditions
and diseases.
<Product Registration>
Family Medical History Registration:
-----------------------------------
There are two levels of registration available for this program.
Standard: The registrant receives a registered copy of the
latest version of the program. The only difference
between the Shareware version and this Registered
is in the opening menu screen. The Standard
registration is $25.00 (plus $5.00 for
shipping/handling).
Deluxe: The registrant receives registered copies of Family
Medical History and Family Hereditary History (latest
versions of both). The programs will be personalized
with the registrant's name entered on the opening menu
screen. Additional program support is provided, as
well as a free upgrade (if any are made) during a 12
month period from the date of registration. The Deluxe
registration is $35.00 (plus $5.00 for
shipping/handing).

<<Program Catalog>>
<Catalog>
Shareware programs currently available from Doug Scott(1993/94):
---------------------------------------------------------------
AUTOTRAX (Automobile Expense Tracker) Version 1.1
A menu-driven database system to record the expense of owning
and maintaining up to 99 vehicles. Define your own expense
categories, then enter the vehicle number, the expense category,
the date, the mileage (odometer reading), the cost, and up to 70
characters of notes on the expense. On fuel purchases, you also
record the number of gallons purchased and the cost per gallon.
AUTOTRAX computes the miles driven and the miles per gallon.
Then search for all vehicle expenses occurring within any time
period, by vehicle, by category, or by vehicle AND category.
(How much did you spend on car number 1 between 04/01/92 and
06/30/92? How much did you spend for taxes on your cars during
1992? How much did you spend on payments for car number 2
between 09/01/91 and 12/31/92?) The records matching the search
criteria you enter will be displayed on the screen, along with a
total dollar amount. Then select any record to view, edit,
delete, or print. You can also print a listing of these same
records (and the total). Select the fuel use table and see the
overall fuel use for a selected vehicle (shows total miles
driven, total fuel costs, total gallons used, the average cost
per gallon, and the average miles per gallon). AUTOTRAX comes
with on-line help screens at most stages of the program,
a built-in data backup utility, and a small on disk instruction
manual (which can be printed out). (Shareware: $25)
