{{ About EZsetup, 1, 1, 0 }}
This setup program allows you to select start-up options that will
be used by EZhelp at runtime. A file will be created by the name of

reference file is to be used with EZhelp. This is Setup 1, which
controls the colors and style of the help menu and reference window.
To select an option, press Tab and move the »» color selector.
To change the color or style of the option, use the arrow keys.
To move to Setup 2, press F5. To save the options, press F10.
To exit, press escape.
