- HINTS AND TIPS
-
- When you start WISDOM OF THE AGES, the first screen that will appear
- is the Quick Start Menu dialog. Select the "Memo" pushbutton. You'll
- see it in the lower right hand corner of the dialog. It has the
- caption "Hints and Tips." It'll put you into the help system and give
- you a brief summary of useful program information.
-
- ----------------------
-
- Quote-A-Day is an optional feature that enables you to start every
- Windows session with an inspirational quote.
-
- Here's how it works: Windows has a StartUp group. Each time Windows
- starts it will automatically run the program(s) in its StartUp group.
- We've added a command switch, "D" for Daily, to WISDOM that takes
- advantage of this feature.
-
- When you start WISDOM with the D command switch, all the opening
- screens are bypassed. Your quote, selected by Quote-A-Day, will be
- the first thing you see. When you're done reading it, you can
- select the Exit command to immediately end the program or you can
- take some other action.
-
- All you have to do to activate this feature is copy the program
- icon to your StartUp group, and then add the D command switch to
- the Program Item Properties' Command Line as follows:
-
- Change: C:\WISDOM25\WIS
- To: C:\WISDOM25\WIS D
-

- If you're a new Windows user, we'll just mention that green text
- in a Windows' help system designates a hypertext link. That means that
- more, or related, information is available on that subject. You can
- access it by positioning your mouse pointer on the green text and
- clicking your left mouse button.
