}
 
{LIST_BOX

------------------
USING THE LIST BOX
------------------ 
 
The List Box allows you to select from a group of options, such as file
names or page titles. The item with the dotted border around it
represents the currently active item. If the list contains file names a
solid bar across the top of the list box shows you which drive and
directory is currently active. Choose a different item by using the UP
and DOWN arrow keys along with the PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN and HOME and END
keys. When the dotted border surrounds the item you want, press ENTER to
select it. 

To advance directly to items beginning with a specific letter, simply
type the letter and QuikMenu finds the first item in the list that
starts with that letter. Press the letter again to view the next item. 
 
You may also use the mouse to scroll through the list and select an
item. Clicking the  and  buttons will move the window one item at a
time. Clicking and dragging the scroll button up or down allows you to
scroll quickly through the list. You can also scroll one page at a time
by clicking the shaded area between the   buttons and the scroll
button. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF THE LIST BOX CONTAINS FILES...

Drives, directories and files each appear with a different icon symbol
to the left of the item. Selecting a directory displays a list of all
files within that directory. Selecting the parent directory (..), moves
you up one level in the directory tree, while the (\) symbol takes you
all the way back to the root directory of the current drive. If there
are more files and directories than will fit in the list box, use the
scroll buttons to bring additional items into view.

The Find option allows you to change the types of files displayed in the
List Files window and to search across an entire drive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

To cancel this option, select the Cancel button or press ESC. 
}

{DIR_MASK

----------------------
USING THE FIND COMMAND
----------------------

The Find option allows you to change what type of files will be
displayed in the List Files window.

You may use any standard DOS file name specifications; for example, the
wild card options * and ?, parts of file names, parts of extensions or
even full file names. Leave the Directory Mask field blank to display
only *.BAT, *.COM and *.EXE files.

Select the Search Entire Drive option (Alt/S) to locate files regardless
of which directory they're in.
}
 
{SEND_MAIL
 
------------
SENDING MAIL
------------
 
You can send electronic mail (E-Mail) to anyone on your network who is
using QuikMenu. You have a choice of creating your message with the
built-in mail editor (Alt/E) or sending an ASCII text file (Alt/F)
created with another program, such as a word processor.
 
USING THE MAIL EDITOR
 
If you select Use Mail Editor, QuikMenu will display the Mail Editor
screen where you can type the text for your messages.
 
SENDING A TEXT FILE
 
To send a text file, you must first create the message in another
program. This feature is handy when, for example, you've already written
a memo in your word processor and want to send it to another user. For
best results, you should convert the file to ASCII text before sending
it as mail.
}

{ADDRESS_MAIL

---------------
ADDRESSING MAIL
---------------

Enter the name of the person you wish to receive the mail in the To
field. You can select from a list of available users by choosing the
F5=List button. To send mail to multiple users, enter the additional
names separated by spaces.

Choosing Send To All Users (Alt/S) will send mail to everyone using
QuikMenu on the network.

The Subject field is optional and will appear on the message line in the
receiver's mailbox.
}

{MAILBOX

--------------------------
USING THE QUIKMENU MAILBOX
--------------------------

Your user name and the number of messages waiting for you will appear at
the top of the mailbox. If you have messages, the mailbox lists the
date, time, sender and subject of each message. From here, you can view
messages, send and reply to mail, or print, save and delete messages.

To view a message, use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to highlight the
desired entry and press ENTER. If you have a mouse, simply click the
desired message. QuikMenu immediately displays the selected message on

Once you've reviewed an E-mail message, you can choose one of the
command buttons at the top of the mail viewer screen.

Reply          (Alt/R) The reply option allows you to quickly send a
               response to the user who sent the message. Type your
               message in the text editor and select Send (Alt/S). The
               message will be automatically addressed and sent.

Forward Mail   (Alt/F) The Forward Mail option allows you pass the
               message along to someone else on the network. You can
               forward to more than one person by entering more than one
               user name.

Copy to File   (Alt/C) Use the Copy command to save messages outside of
               QuikMenu. For example, you may want to save a message to
               a file in your word processor's directory. You will need
               to enter the complete path along with a file name (for
               example: C:\WPFILES\MEMO.TXT).

Print          (Alt/P) This option prints a hard copy of the current
               message.

Delete         (Alt/L) Use this option to remove old messages from your
               mailbox. Messages stay in your mailbox until they're
               deleted.

Done           (Alt/D) Leaves the mail viewer and returns to the mailbox
               screen. You will be asked if you want to delete the
               current message before exiting the viewer.
}

{SETUP_PALETTE

-------------
PALETTE SETUP
-------------

If you have a VGA monitor, you can modify the palette of colors that
QuikMenu uses to display your menu on the screen. The palette command
allows you to change the percentages of cyan, magenta and yellow that
compose each color.

Select a color to modify by clicking one of the color boxes with the
mouse or by pressing ALT/O or SHIFT/ALT/O. Next, click the (+) or (-)
buttons next to the desired color control with the mouse. Using the

Magenta, ALT/Y or SHIFT/ALT/Y for Yellow or ALT/B or SHIFT/ALT/B for
Brightness.

The percentage of color is indicated by the graph and numeric value next
to the (+) button. The Brightness control adds (+) or subtracts (-)
equal amounts of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow simultaneously.
If you dislike your new QuikMenu colors, you can restore the original
settings by selecting the Default button (ALT/D).

 NOTE: Color changes appear only while in QuikMenu and should not
  interfere with other programs.
}

{SETUP_MAIL

----------
MAIL SETUP
----------

Select the Check Mailbox Continuously option if you want QuikMenu to
check your mailbox every 10 seconds while QuikMenu is on the screen. You
will be notified of new mail arrivals as they occur. If this option is
turned off QuikMenu will only check your mailbox when: (1) you first
start QuikMenu; (2) after running a program or DOS option; or (3) when
you manually activate the Mail command from the Utilities menu.

You can also specify a directory where QuikMenu will send and receive
mail.

 NOTE: The Mail directory must be the same for all users accessing the
  Mail feature. The directory must be accessible to all users and all
  users must have Read, Write and Delete privileges in the directory.
}

{SETUP_DISPLAY

------------
SCREEN SETUP
------------

Color               (ALT/O) Changes the color of the selected QuikMenu
                    item. To select an item, choose the F5=List button.
                    A dialog box will appear containing a list of
                    interface elements, such as the menu background,
                    command buttons, dialog boxes, etc., that can be
                    colorized. Scroll down the list using the arrow
                    keys or the mouse until the desired item is
                    highlighted. Press ENTER or click the item with the
                    mouse. Next, select a color by pressing ALT/O or
                    SHIFT/ALT/O until the desired color is highlighted
                    or click one of the colors with the mouse. Repeat
                    for each item you wish to modify.

Default             (ALT/E) Lets you set all your screen color
                    selections back to the original default values. 

Use PCX Image       (ALT/P) If you have any PCX graphics files created
                    by draw or paint programs, you can use one of those
                    files as your menu background. Select this option
                    if you want to use such a file. See Choose File
                    below. (Requires EMS Memory.)

Choose File         (ALT/F) Lets you select from a list of .PCX files
                    (if any) on your computer system.

Sound Effects       (ALT/S) QuikMenu occasionally emits audible beeps
                    and tones in response to certain menu actions. If
                    you'd prefer not to hear them, simply turn this
                    option off. (Default is off.)

Confirm...          (ALT/C) Requests a confirmation (Yes/No) before
                    running a program. Confirm also affects the DOS and
                    Exit commands. This option has no effect on Page
                    Buttons and is superseded by some password
                    settings.

3-D Interface       (ALT/I) Allows QuikMenu's three-dimensional
                    interface to be turned off.

Display Speed Keys  (ALT/D) Allows the speed key character in front of
                    the icon text to be turned off. All speed keys
                    remain fully functional; the only difference is
                    that they are not displayed.

Display Grid        (ALT/G) Displays a visible grid to use as a
                    reference when positioning and sizing icons on the
                    menu.

Snap To Grid        (ALT/N) Automatically snaps icons to the grid when
                    positioning and sizing them on the menu. The grid
                    does not have to be visible to use this feature.
}

{SETUP_CLOCK

---------------
DATE/TIME SETUP
---------------

This is probably as simple as it appears, much like setting a digital
watch. Backspace (if necessary) over the existing numbers and type the
new information. Press TAB to move to the next field. Indicate whether
the time is AM (ALT/A) or PM (ALT/P). You may also, indicate whether you
are using a 12-Hour or 24-Hour clock by clicking on the Hour option
(ALT/H).

 NOTE: This function may not work correctly on some PC's and XT's since
  there is no standard among clock cards used by these machines. In any
  event, the worst that could happen is that your computer will forget
  the time when it's turned off.
}

{SETUP_PASSWORD

--------------
PASSWORD SETUP
--------------

The Password function is used to prevent unauthorized users from running
the DOS Shell, modifying the menu, viewing the Time Log, using the File
Manager and leaving QuikMenu.

Select the command you want to protect by using the F5=List option. Your
selection will appear in the box next to the List button. Type your
password in the text field. Select Hide This Button (Alt/H) if you do
not want the button to display on the menu.

Hidden command buttons cannot be accessed via the mouse. Keyboard
access, however, is still available. Functions that are to have
restricted access should also be password protected. Some commands
cannot be hidden, others cannot be protected. The options available vary
according to the command you select from the List Box. For example, if
a command cannot be password protected, the Password entry box will not
be visible.

If you use this feature, be sure to remember your passwords. A forgotten
password means you will not be able to access the protected options.

 NOTE: If you hide the Modify button it can be activated by pressing
  ALT/M.
}

{SETUP_LOG

--------------
TIME LOG SETUP
--------------

The Time Log option allows you to turn the time log on or off and to

}

{SETUP_DIALER

------------
DIALER SETUP
------------

If you have a Hayes compatible modem, use this option to tell QuikMenu
which port it's attached to by selecting the appropriate COM button
(Com1..Com4). If you have a modem, but you're not sure which port it's
using, there is a general rule of thumb: if you don't have a mouse, your
modem is probably on Com1, and if you do have a mouse, your modem is
probably on Com2. You may also need to tell QuikMenu whether your
telephone company expects a Pulse or Tone type phone.

 NOTE: Com3 and Com4 may not work with some systems since they are not
  directly supported by DOS.
}

{SETUP_BLANKER

--------------------
SCREEN BLANKER SETUP
--------------------

The Screen Blank function lets you choose an option that displays if no
keyboard or mouse activity occurs after a specified number of minutes.
This screen-saver helps to protect your monitor if you leave your
QuikMenu screen unattended for periods of time.

Select one of the screen blank options from the list by pressing the ALT
key and the underlined letter in the option name.

One option, Screen Shuffle (Alt/S), requires a choice of Small (Alt/A),
Medium (Alt/M) or Large (Alt/L). Screen Shuffle displays a continuously
overlapping series of rectangles on the screen. Your determines the size
of the rectangles.

Preview   You can see how each screen blank option looks on your screen
          before you finalize your decision. The preview will stay on
          the screen until you move the mouse or press a key.

Interval  Use the Interval option to enter how many minutes should
          elapse before the Screen Blank option is activated. Backspace
          (if necessary) over the existing number and type your
          selection. Enter a 0 (zero) here to turn the screen blanker
          off.

QuikMenu functions, set the Time Log and tell the Dialer where to find
your modem.
}

{LOG_SORT

-------------------------
CREATING YOUR OWN REPORTS
-------------------------

The Time Log Search option allows you to change the search criteria, the
date range or the format of the log report.

Report Title   This is the heading that will appear at the top of each
               page when your report is printed. The heading can also be
               seen at the top of the QuikMenu screen in the Title Bar.

Sort By        Select the Program button (Alt/P) to sort log entries
               alphabetically by name. Choose the Date button (Alt/D) to
               sort log entries in chronological order.

View As        This option controls the level of detail displayed by the
               Time Log. The Summary option (Alt/S) displays each log
               entry only once and shows the total number of times and
               percentage of total daily time each item was used. The
               Detail option (Alt/D) shows time in, time out, total
               time, and, on networks, user name for each item.

Find...        Use this option to locate specific programs or projects
               within the Time Log. For example, typing "Word" might
               find entries for "WordPerfect," "Wordstar" and "Word
               Processing," anything that begins with "Word." Items like
               "The Word" and "Windows Word" would not be found because
               they do not begin with "Word." To find all entries, leave
               this field blank.

Start Date     You may want to create a report for a specific range of
               dates. In the text fields, type in the month, day and
               year for the beginning of the report. Use the Tab key to
               move from field to field. Leave these fields blank to
               search from the beginning of the file.

End Date       In the text fields, type in the month, day and year for
               the end of the report. Use the Tab key to move from field
               to field. Leave these fields blank to search from the
               start date to today's date.

Match User...  Enter a name in this field to limit the log report to a
               specific user. Leave this field blank to show activity
               for all users. (Networks only.)

 NOTE: If both the Start Date and End Date are blank, all entries will
  be searched.
}

{LOG

------------------
USING THE TIME LOG
------------------

QuikMenu's Time Log is a valuable resource for consultants, secretaries,
lawyers or anyone who keeps track of expenses on the basis of time. The
Time Log allows you to view, sort and print a variety of reports based
on how long and how often you use your computer.

The log keeps track of programs by the name you assign to your Software
Icons. It may be helpful to keep a separate page of Icons for specific
projects and give each icon a unique project name. For example, page 6
might contain a "Jones Word Processor," a "Jones Database" and a "Jones
Spreadsheet."

All Time Log information is stored in a file, usually in the QuikMenu
directory on your hard drive. The default log file name is QM.LOG. You
can change the name of this file, as well as turn the Time Log on and
off, from within the Setup dialog box.

Once the Time Log is activated, it becomes completely transparent to the
user. Simply use the menu as you always have - running programs, DOS
operations, etc. and QuikMenu will automatically record when and how
long you access each program.


Search    (ALT/S) The Search option allows you to change the search
          criteria, the date range or the format of the log report.

Print     (ALT/P) Select the Print option to send the Time Log report to
          your printer. Printed Time Log reports are very similar to the
          ones displayed on the screen, with the exception of page
          breaks, page headings and page numbers.

Done      (ALT/D) Use the Done command to end your session with the Time
          Log.

To leave the Time Log select the Done command (ALT/D) or press ESC.

{ICON_EDITOR

---------------------
USING THE ICON EDITOR
---------------------

Each QuikMenu icon is composed of 1024 pixels (dots) displayed on the
screen in a grid 32 pixels high and 32 pixels wide. Icons are created by
assigning colors to each pixel in the grid to produce various shapes and
patterns.

DRAWING WITH THE KEYBOARD: In the upper left corner of the drawing area
is a tiny cross hair. Using the cursor keys, position the cross hair in
the drawing area where you want to begin painting. Next, hold down the
SHIFT key and press one of the cursor keys again. As the cross hair
moves over the drawing area, it leaves a trail of pigment (the current
pen color).

DRAWING WITH THE MOUSE: Move the mouse pointer into the drawing area
where you want to begin drawing. Press and hold the mouse button. Your
drawing will start at this point. While holding the mouse button down,
slide the mouse in any direction. Notice that the mouse leaves a trail
of pigment as it moves across the drawing area.

Icon           (ALT/I) Select this button to modify the icon. This
               button will already be activated when you start the icon
               editor.

Mask           (ALT/M) Select this button to modify the icon's mask. The
               mask is almost always identical to the icon, except that
               it's entirely composed of black pixels.

Invert         (ALT/N) The Invert option will reverse all colors in the
               drawing area.

Copy           (ALT/C) The Copy Mask/Icon option is usually used in the
               Mask mode to copy the icon image to the mask.

Clear          (ALT/E) Selecting Clear will erase the current drawing
               area.

Export         (ALT/X) The Export feature allows you to save an
               individual icon image for use on another system.

Import         (ALT/T) The Import function allows you to load an icon
               image or PCX file into the icon editor.

Pen Color      (ALT/P, SHIFT/ALT/P) Pen or drawing colors can be
               selected one of two ways: either by clicking a color with
               the mouse, or by holding down the ALT key and pressing
               the letter P until the desired color is highlighted.

Up,Dn,Lt,Rt    (ALT/U, ALT/D, ALT/L, ALT/R) These commands allow you to
               shift the icon image or mask. Just click on the button
               indicating the direction you want the image to shift.

Save           (ENTER) Selecting Save updates the icon list and writes
               any changes you may have made to the disk.

Cancel         (ESC) Choose cancel to abandon any changes made during
               this editing session.

 NOTE: Due to format incompatibilities color icons cannot be
  transferred to monochrome or CGA systems, and monochrome or CGA icons
  cannot be transferred to color systems. This limitation can be avoided
  by adding an .ICX extension to the icon's file name during the export
  procedure.
}

{ICON_SELECT

-----------------------
USING THE ICON SELECTOR
-----------------------

The Icon Selector allows you to choose an icon image to represent an
item on the menu. For example, you could use a filing cabinet icon to
represent a database or a pencil icon to represent a word processor.

The Icon Selector is actually very simple to use. A movable window in
the center of the dialog box displays 50 icons at a time. The square box
inside the icon window represents the currently selected icon. Use the
Arrow keys, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, HOME and END keys to select an icon from
the list. You may also select an icon by clicking the icon with the
mouse. When the desired icon is highlighted, select the Ok button to
tell QuikMenu that's the one you want to use.

Add       (ALT/A) Select this option to create a new icon.

Edit      (ALT/E) Use this option to modify an existing icon.

The Add and Edit command buttons are used to activate the Icon Editor.
QuikMenu's Icon Editor allows you to edit existing icons as well as
create icons of your own.

  white or 50% gray.

Once your color choices have been made, press ENTER to apply the new
colors to the current icon.
}

{EDIT_ITEM_OPTIONS

----------------------
USING THE STYLE OPTION
----------------------

Color, Font and Alignment.

        QuikMenu contains several predefined icon shapes for you to
          choose from. To change the icon shape press the PAGE UP, PAGE
          DOWN, HOME and END keys on your keyboard. If you have a mouse,
          click the   buttons.

Icon      Use the Icon Selector to choose an icon image to represent an
          item on the menu. For example, you could use a filing cabinet
          icon to represent a database or a pencil icon to represent a
          word processor.

Color     The Color option allows you to choose separate colors for the
          fill, text and border areas of the icon.

Font      The Font option allows you to change the font style and point
          size of an icon.

}

{SET_ITEM_ALIGNMENT

--------------------------
USING THE ALIGNMENT OPTION
--------------------------

The Alignment option lets you position the text within an icon either to
the Left (Alt/L), in the Center/Below (Alt/C) or to the Right (Alt/R).

Different icon shapes will react differently to the alignment settings.
}

{EDIT_PROGRAM_ITEM

----------------------
EDITING SOFTWARE ICONS
----------------------

Software Icons allow you to run programs, format disks, backup
directories and perform other tasks. For example, a typical QuikMenu
user might create a Software Icon called WordPerfect to represent their
word processing software. The icon makes loading WordPerfect as easy as
pressing a single key or clicking the mouse.

Speed Key      This is the key on your keyboard that will be used to
               activate the Software Icon. Valid choices are the letters
               A through Z, numbers 0 through 9 and characters: @ # $ &
               * ( ) + { } [ ] : ; ? ! / | \ " ^ - _ ~ . , << >> = ` '. 

Name           This is the text that will appear inside the Software
               Icon when it's displayed on the screen. You can instruct
               QuikMenu to display the icon text as multiple lines by
               using a tilde (~) character to represent line breaks.

Location       This is the drive and directory where the program or DOS
               option is located. For example: C:\WP51. (See List
               Programs below.)

Command        This is the command that DOS uses to activate the program
               or DOS option. For example, if you normally load your
               word processor by typing WP at the DOS prompt (C:\), then
               enter WP here. Your software or DOS manuals are the best
               place to find this information. (See List Programs
               below.) QuikMenu III contains a number of very powerful
               command line features. Please refer to your user's guide
               for details.

List Programs  (F5) This is an alternative method for filling in the
               Location and Command fields above. Selecting this option
               displays a dialog box containing a list of executable
               programs (*.BAT, *.COM and *.EXE) installed on your
               system. Simply highlight the program you want and press
               ENTER. The Location and Command fields will be
               automatically filled in.

Password       The Password option allows you to prevent unauthorized
               users from activating and/or modifying the icon.

Style          Use the Style option to select the icon, color, font and
               alignment choices to represent the icon on the menu.

Pause          (ALT/P) Select this option if you want the program to
               pause after it's finished and prompt you with a "Strike
               any key when ready..." message.

Ask...         (ALT/A) Inserts a question ([Select A File=*.*]) into the
               Command field requesting QuikMenu to display a list of
               files whenever this icon is activated.

Editor         (F2) Starts QuikMenu's Text Editor and automatically
               loads or creates any batch file found at the beginning of
               the command line.

After you have completed your entries, press ENTER to save them or ESC
to cancel.
}

{EDIT_LINK_ITEM

------------------
EDITING PAGE ICONS
------------------

Page Icons are used to move between pages within a menu. For example,
page one might contain a icon labeled "Games" which is linked to page
five. Page five might contain several items related to game software as
well as a "Go Back" icon for returning to page one.

Speed Key      This is the key on your keyboard that will be used to
               activate the Page Icon. Valid choices are the letters A
               through Z, numbers 0 through 9 and characters: @ # $ & *
               ( ) + { } [ ] : ; ? ! / | \ " ^ - _ ~ . , << >> = ` '. 

Name           This is the text that will appear inside the Page Icon
               when it's displayed on the screen. You can instruct
               QuikMenu to display the icon text as multiple lines by
               using a tilde (~) character to represent line breaks.

Link To...     Type the number of the page you want to link with this
               Icon. Valid page numbers are 1 to 50. (See List Pages
               below.) If you place an asterisk (*) in this field
               instead of a page number, the icon will always return to
               the previous page regardless of it's position in the
               menu.

List Pages     This serves as an alternative method for filling in the
               Name and Link To Page Number fields above. Selecting this
               option displays a dialog box containing a list of page
               titles for all 50 QuikMenu pages.

Style          Use the Style option to select the icon, color, font and
               alignment choices to represent the page link on the menu.

After you have completed your entries, press ENTER to save them or ESC
to cancel.
}

{EDIT_MACRO_ITEM

-------------------
EDITING MACRO ICONS
-------------------
Macro Icons are used to combine a large number of keystrokes and/or
mouse actions into one. Macros can be used to automate repetitive menu
tasks such as copying files, changing QuikMenu's setup or even running
several programs in succession. Many programs that feature macros
require that you learn a complicated programming language before you can
create a macro. QuikMenu, on the other hand, doesn't have a macro
language. Instead, QuikMenu includes an easy-to-use macro recorder.
Simply turn the recorder on, perform the functions you want automated,
turn the recorder off and a macro is automatically created for you.

Speed Key      This is the key on your keyboard that will be used to
               activate the Macro Icon. Valid choices are the letters A
               through Z, numbers 0 through 9 and characters: @ # $ & *
               ( ) + { } [ ] : ; ? ! / | \ " ^ - _ ~ . , << >> = ` '. 

Name           This is the text that will appear inside the Macro Icon
               when it's displayed on the screen. You can instruct
               QuikMenu to display the icon text as multiple lines by
               using a tilde (~) character to represent line breaks.

File Name      This is the name of the file where QuikMenu will store
               all the keystrokes and/or mouse actions that comprise the
               macro. If you're creating a new macro, this should be a
               file that doesn't already exist.

List Macros    Use this option to select from a list of macros that have
               already been created. A file name selected from the list
               box will be placed into the File Name field.

Password       The Password option allows you to prevent unauthorized
               users from activating and/or modifying the icon.

Style          Use the Style option to select the icon, color, font and
               alignment choices to represent the icon on the menu.

Playback       This option allows you to vary the macro's execution
               speed.

Record         The Record option saves the Macro Icon and starts the
               Macro Recorder. If you are adding a new macro to the
               menu, you will first be asked to place the macro's icon
               on the page. After placing the icon, you will enter
               record mode (noted at the bottom of the screen). To
               create the macro, simply perform the menu functions you
               want to automate. Any functions you perform while the
               recorder is on will be stored in the file you specified
               in the File Name field above. When the macro is complete,
               turn the recorder off by pressing F10.

To play back a recorded macro, select the macro's icon. Macro playback
may be interrupted by pressing F10.

After you have completed your entries, press ENTER to save them or ESC
to cancel.

{EDIT_DIALER_ITEM

--------------------
EDITING DIALER ICONS
--------------------

Dialer Icons allow you to dial the telephone using your Hayes compatible
modem. You may wish to create a page of Dialer Icons using phone numbers
for some of your important contacts. Then simply dial a number by
selecting the appropriate icon.

 NOTE: QuikMenu's PhoneBook utility provides additional dialing and
  database functions.

Speed Key      This is the key on your keyboard that will be used to
               activate the Dialer Icon. Valid choices are the letters
               A through Z, numbers 0 through 9 and characters: @ # $ &
               * ( ) + { } [ ] : ; ? ! / | \ " ^ - _ ~ . , << >> = ` '. 

Name           This is the text that will appear inside the Dialer Icon
               when it's displayed on the screen. You can instruct
               QuikMenu to display the icon text as multiple lines by
               using a tilde (~) character to represent line breaks.

Phone Number   This is the actual telephone number that the icon will
               dial when it's activated. The number should be exactly
               the same as if you were dialing it manually. For example:
               1-800-555-1234. Place a comma (,) in the telephone number
               to insert a 2 second delay. For example, 9,555-1234 would
               dial 9, wait 2 seconds, then dial 555-1234.

Password       The Password option allows you to prevent unauthorized
               users from activating and/or modifying the icon.

Style          Use the Style option to select the icon, color, font and
               alignment choices to represent the icon on the menu.

After you have completed your entries, press ENTER to save them or ESC
to cancel.
}

{ADD_ITEM

----------------------------
ADDING NEW ITEMS TO THE MENU
----------------------------

When you add an item to QuikMenu, it will appear on the screen in the
form of an icon. An icon is a picture or illustration used to represent
a software program, DOS Option, macro function, phone dialer or page
link. QuikMenu gives you several styles of icons; from simple text
blocks to 3-D picture buttons. It's far easier to select an icon by
pressing a single key or clicking the mouse than it is to remember and
type a long series of DOS commands. Icons can greatly simplify large,
complex tasks and make computing easier for novices and experts alike.

Simply choose the type of icon you want to create or press ESC to

{PHONEBOOK

-------------------
USING THE PHONEBOOK
-------------------

The QuikMenu PhoneBook is a mini database where you can store names and
phone numbers of business associates, friends or anyone you contact
frequently. If your computer system includes a modem, the PhoneBook can
dial your telephone for you.

To view records in the PhoneBook, press PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN or click
the   buttons with the mouse. Across the top of the PhoneBook screen
you'll see a set of letters (A,B,C,etc.). You can use these letters just
like a set of index tabs. Press the CONTROL key and the LEFT or RIGHT
arrow keys to scroll through the tabs. If you have a mouse, click the
tab with the letter you want to view. The first record beginning with
the selected letter will be displayed on the screen. Select the asterisk
tab (*) to locate entries that start with numbers or unusual characters. 

Use the first text field on the top of the screen to enter the name
you'll use to sort the PhoneBook record. Use the TAB key and the UP and
DOWN arrow keys to move from field to field on the screen. The address
field is the large box below the name. This is a six line free-form text
field where you can type anything you like. Phone numbers are entered in
the boxes on the right. QuikMenu automatically fills in Work Phone and
Home Phone as field titles. Use the blank field below each title to
enter the appropriate phone number. For example: 1-800-555-1234. Place
a comma (,) in the telephone number to insert a 2 second delay. For
example, 9,555-1234 would dial 9, wait 2 seconds, then dial 555-1234.

             (PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN) Use these buttons to view the
               previous or next record in the database.

Find           (ALT/F) The Find option allows you to search the database
               for a specific record or related records.
