The first time you run Headlines you must set the active Headlines file. This file can be used as a Headlines file. Select Option from the Headlines After Dark control panel. Select File and Open the Headlines data file of your choice.
I recommend creating a folder called Headlines in the Preferences folder (System 7) for your data files.
Although I have added a few lines to this file, it is pretty much as I found it posted on a QNX bbs several years back. Some of the names (Mary Lou Retten, for example, the original Energizer Bunny) indicate this file was created, or at least modified, in the mid eighties. I am very interested in this file's lineage. If you have seen a program that uses a similar file, please drop me a line at American Online, username robertSurt.
