- *******************************************************************************
-
- Turnkey is intended to give the user a simplified view of an IBM compatible
- microcomputer. Entering TK (or optionally, having TK as the last line of
- the autoexec.bat file) will display the menu choices (which were previously
- defined using TK -edit) and allow the user to run a program simply by moving
- the cursor over their choice and hitting enter.
-
- Requirements: 256K memory, a hard disk, and DOS 2.0 or later.
-
- Quick Start Instructions
- ------------------------
-
- Step 1: Installation
-
- Type TKinst installs Turnkey to Drive C.
-
-
- Step 2: Define the menu choices
-
- Type TK -edit and then choose to edit the menu choices.
-
- This lets you define what the user sees. For example, you might define the
- following 4 menu choices (you can define a maximum of 20):
-
- Run the Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet
- Word Processing with Microsoft Word
- Telecommunications with CrossTalk
- Exit to DOS
-
-
- Step 3: Define the menu actions for each menu choice
-
- Now you must edit the menu actions for each menu choice. Let's say you edit
- the actions for "Run the Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet". You might define the
- actions as follows:
-
- [1] cd \lotus
- [2] 123
- [3] cd \
- [4] tk
-
- Line [1] changes the directory to lotus, presumably where Lotus 1-2-3
- resides. Line [2] runs 123. The user will then be able to use 1-2-3 as
- normal (Turnkey uses NO memory), and when the user quits out of 1-2-3, lines
- [3] and [4] will bring up the Turnkey menu again.
-
- You would similarly edit the actions for the other 3 menu choices.
-
- Step 4: Type TK and see if it works the way you want!
