address and launch your e-mail program. Right click a URL and launch your web browser.

If you are installing over an earlier version of PSA Cards

When you install PSA Cards for Windows 3.1 on a computer running Windows 95 or 98, or
when you install Windows 95 or 98 over Windows 3.1 with PSA Cards already installed, there
will be a "PSA Cards" program folder on the Windows 95/98 Start menu.

When you install this release of PSA Cards a new program icon named "PSA Cards" will appear
on the Start menu.  Since the installation routine does not check for the presence of the old PSA
Cards (from the Windows 3.1 version) program folder and program icons, you will need to
remove them from the Start menu manually.  To do this, right click on the Start menu, click
"Explore", open the Programs folder, find the old PSA Cards program folder and program icons
and, and drag them to the Recycle Bin.

Cards Help menu and click on "How to Order".  In the evaluation version, the "Save" command
