- SOME TIPS ON GETTING STARTED WITH WORDMASTER 1.7
-
-
-
- You should have the following files on your disk(s):
-
- -README .1ST (This file)
- COMMANDS.DOC An alphabetical listing of commands.
- F-KEYS .DOC A chart of the Function Key commands.
- WM .DOC The main documentation file.
- WM .HLP The on-line help file.
- WM .MAC The default macro file.
- WM .EXE The main WordMaster file.
- WMCUSTOM.EXE File for customizing command structure.
- WMCUSTOM.TXT File for creating new help file.
- ********.PDF Various Printer Definition Files.
-
-
-
- -- HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION --
-
- Create a directory on your hard disk to hold the WordMaster files,
- e.g., C:\WM. Use the command MD WM. Put the WordMaster disk in
- drive A and switch to that drive. Copy the files with the command
- COPY *.* C:\WM.
-
- To be able to load WordMaster from anywhere on your hard disk be
- sure to include the WordMaster directory in your PATH in your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT. And remember to set the Home Directory so WordMaster
- can find its own files from any other directory. Do this with the
- command <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-S> or <F1, O, P, H>. And make it permanent
- with the command <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D> or <F1, O, S>.
-
-
-
- -- FLOPPY DRIVE USE --
-
- Most computers without a hard drive have two floppy disk drives.
- You will probably want to use the program disk in drive A and keep
- data files in drive B. To do this, set the Home Directory as
- described above under Hard Disk Installation, but set it for A.
- Then use <Shift-F1> to change to the B drive. (You may also have to
- enter B the first time you open a file.)
-
- If you put a PATH statement like PATH=a:\;b:\; in an AUTOEXEC.BAT on
- your boot disk you should be able to put the WordMaster disk in
- drive A, the data disk in drive B and load WordMaster from drive B
- without all the above instructions.
-
- PLEASE NOTE: THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF PROGRAMMING CHANGES IN
- WordMaster THAT CREATE INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH EARLIER VERSIONS.
-
- If you have an earlier version of WordMaster you MUST use only
- the .PDF files that come with version 1.7 as the files from
- older versions are not compatible.
-
- Users of earlier versions of WordMaster will also notice that
- the default function key assignments have been radically
- changed after careful evaluation of user suggestions. BE SURE
- you use the .HLP file for version 1.7 or you will be given
- inaccurate information on the help screens.
-
-
-
- -- LOADING THE PROGRAM --
-
- To load WordMaster type WM and <Enter>.
-
- To read the WordMaster documentation file, type WM WM.DOC and
- <Enter>.
-
- -- PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION --
-
- To print out the documentation file (which is designed to be printed
- using WordMaster) load the file as above and use <Shift-F9> to bring
- up the print menu.
-
- It is important that the right Printer Definition File (the .PDF
- files) is loaded before printing anything or the various fonts will
- not be printed. By default, WordMaster uses EPSON-FX.PDF which is
- fine for most printers that are Epson compatible. If your printer
- will not work properly with this, then refer to PRINTER.DOC to see
- if your printer is listed.
-
- If none of these work satisfactorily with your printer, you can
- create your own .PDF file as outlined on page 22 of WM.DOC.
-
-
- Good luck. Enjoy WordMaster!
