- echo How to Get Started
- echo ------------------
- echo .
- echo .
- echo 1) Type DIR at the DOS prompt to show you the files on the disk.
- echo 2) Look for a file that may tell you how to start up the program. Look for
- echo files with names such as READ.ME, [filename].DOC, MANUAL.[ext], that will
- echo most likely tell you how to begin.
- echo 3) To read the file you have chosen, enter: TYPE filename.ext at the DOS
- echo prompt. By entering TYPE and then the filename (then the enter key), the
- echo the file's text will then start scrolling on the screen for you to read.
- echo 4) In order to stop the screen, hit the "control" and "s" keys at the same
- echo time. To begin scrolling again, hit any key.
- echo 5) If you want to print the entire file, hit the "control" and "P" keys
- echo BEFORE you start scrolling the file (e.g., TYPE filename.ext). After it
- echo has finished printing, hit the "control" and "P" keys to take the computer
- echo out of the print mode. If you want to print what is on the screen at the
- echo time, stop the scrolling and hit the "print screen" key.
- echo Or: you can also print the documentation by entering at the DOS prompt:
- echo COPY filename.ext \PRN
