                                    INTRODUCTION

          You probably have  had  the frustrating experience of spending an
          hour or so browsing the titles in your favorite video  store only
          to end up  with a movie you didn't like anyway.  Out of more than
          50,000 movies which have been made in this century,  how  do  you
          find the right movie?  The  purpose  of  MOVIES TO GO! is to help
          you discover movies that  suit your personal taste  so  that  you
          will  spend  more  time  watching  enjoyable  movies  instead  of
          wandering the isles of your video store.

          This booklet will explain  how  you  can  use the powerful search
          features of MOVIES TO GO! to find and catalog the movies you want
          to watch.  After a few  minutes  you  will be a master at finding
          movies:

            -  starring your favorite actors / actresses
            -  directed by the most talented directors
            -  in categories such as comedy, romance, drama, etc.
            -  assigned a certain MPAA rating
            -  without offensive language or scenes
            -  which won Academy Awards
            -  in a special category, such as "Disney Movies"
            -  which are in your personal video library
            -  and more!



                             WHY MOVIES TO GO! IS UNIQUE

          MOVIES TO GO!  is  different  from  most  other  movie  books and
          software in the following ways:

              1. The reviews are not written  by movie critics but by ordi-
                 nary people who love movies.

              2. Most of the movies listed in  MOVIES TO GO!  are enjoyable
                 to watch.  We didn't  want  to  clutter  MOVIES TO GO! (or
                 your hard drive) with poor or impossible to find films.

              3. Most books and  software  give only a brief description of
                 the movie and list only  the  director,  principal actors,
                 MPAA rating, and the  length  of  the  film. MOVIES TO GO!
                 goes further by  listing  up to three categories, the set-
                 ting, the  main  characters,  several  special categories,
                 possible objectionable  content,  the  authors,  the music
                 credits, and a detailed review.

              4. MOVIES TO GO!  has  a  stunning,  fun-filled, easy to use,
                 graphics   interface  with  animated  icons  and   sounds!
                 Nothing is this fast or easy to use.

              5. MOVIES TO GO! lets you attach personal notes to each movie
                 so you can make a list of all the movies you want to rent,

                 those in  your  personal  collection,  or  those  you have
                 loaned to friends.  See page 20 for details.

              6. The data in MOVIES  TO  GO!  is  in a compiled, hyper-text
                 format.  This reduces the size of the data  to  about  one
                 third the size it would  be  in  a  conventional database.
                 Hyper-text also makes the searches about ten times faster.
                 The disadvantage  of hyper-text is that you can't add your
                 own movies to MOVIES TO GO,  but  you  can submit your own
                 reviews  on movies which are not in  the  database.    See
                 page 25 for details.

              7. The data in MOVIES TO GO! is updated each month.   You can
                 order updates on floppy disks  by mail or you can download
                 updates directly from our BBS.  See page 23 for details.



                                    THE MAIN MENU

          After  the  opening  screens, you will  see  a  large  TV  screen
          containing an alphabetical list of movies starting with the movie
          "10."  This  is the MAIN MENU.  On the upper right hand corner of
          the TV screen is  a  digital display showing the number of movies
          contained in this menu (it will be a number greater  than 9,000).
          You can browse this list by  pressing  the the PgUp, PgDn, and up
          and  down  arrow  keys.    To  display  the information  about  a
          particular movie just type the first few letters of the title you
          have in mind.

          For example, to  see  what's  stored  on the movie RAIDERS OF THE
          LOST  ARK,  type  "raide" and the movie with the closest matching
          title (in this case, the movie, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK)  will be
          highlighted  on  your  screen.    Press the ENTER Key to see  the
          information MOVIES TO GO! has stored about this movie.

          The bottom of the screen reveals that four function keys are also
          active on this screen:

              F1 Help    Help  is available everywhere in MOVIES TO GO!  by
                         pressing the F1 key.

              F2 Search  The  search function is perhaps the most  powerful
                         feature  of  MOVIES TO GO! Starting  with  page 7,
                         several sections are  devoted to helping you learn
                         how to use these powerful  searches  to  display a
                         list of movies that you want to investigate.

              F3 Print   Press this  key to print all the movies which have
                         been "marked" for  printing  with the F7 key.  See
                         page 22 for details about the printing options.

                         movie is "marked", a check mark will appear at the
                         right of the movie title.

                         Note:  After a  search  is  completed,  all movies
                         which meet the search  criteria  are  displayed on
                         the "TV" Screen and "marked"  for  printing.   Use
                         the F7  key to "unmark" movies that you don't want
                         to print.

              F10 Quit   You can  quit the software at any time by pressing
                         the F10 key.



                               THE NOW SHOWING SCREEN

          A  movie poster surrounded by flashing  lights  appears  on  your
          screen after you press the  ENTER Key  on  the  highlighted movie
          title from the  MAIN MENU.   The categories, MPAA rating, length,
          and critical review  are  displayed graphically as icons, and the
          director, cast  members,  setting,  author,  music,  and  special
          categories are written on your screen.    If you have a mouse you
          can search for one category, actor, or word simply by clicking on
          the word  or  icon.    Several  function  keys are active on this
          screen:

              F1 Help    Help  is  available  through out the MOVIES TO GO!
                         software by pressing the F1 key.

              F4 Review  Press the F4  key to reveal additional information
                         about the  movie  displayed  on  the  Now  Showing
                         Screen.    There  is at least a one line review on
                         all movies, and about one third of the movies have
                         a review written  by  one or more of the reviewers
                         listed on page 32.

              F6 Note    The ability to add personal notes was  the feature
                         that  people requested most often in version  1.0.
                         After you press  the  F6 key the Notepad Icon will
                         appear  so you can attach a 20 character  personal
                         note to the movie  displayed  on  the  Now Showing
                         Screen.   There are dozens of uses for this field;
                         some suggestions:  "Want  To  See",  "Rent This!",
                         "MJP",  "Kids  Want  To  See", "Tape Number XXXX",
                         "Steve Borrowed  It",  "Buy  This",  "Laser Disk",
                         etc.   For information on how to search for movies
                         which have your personal notes see page 20.

              Cancel     The ENTER or ESC key closes the Now Showing Screen
                         and returns you to the "TV" Screen.

              Arrows     The Up Arrow  key  will  display  the  Now Showing

                                     QUICK START

          Most people find  using  MOVIES TO GO! intuitive and easy to use,
          so they only browse through this manual.  If you are one of these
          people, try the following  example  and  you  will learn the most
          essential features of the MOVIES TO GO! software:

          You've had a  long  day  at  work  and feel like watching a good,
          romantic comedy.  You've seen all the "new  releases"  your local
          video store is pushing, and want something fresh.    Your teenage
          daughter will be watching the movie with you, and you  don't want
          to be embarrassed  by explicit language or sex scenes.   In other
          words, you want a good, clean, romantic comedy.

          MOVIES TO GO! is perfect for this assignment:

              1.  At the Main Menu  ("TV"  Screen)  press the F2 Search key
                  from the keyboard or with your mouse.

              2.  At the Search Menu ("Ticket" Screen) do a Category Search
                  using these steps:
                  a) Press ENTER on  the  Category Icon, or double click it
                     with your mouse.
                  b) Arrow over to "Comedy" and press the  F7 Mark key.   A
                     large red check mark will cover the comedy icon.
                  c) Arrow down to "Romance" and  press  the  F7  Mark key.
                     Now both the "Comedy"  and  "Romance"  categories will
                     now be "marked" with a red check mark.
                  d) Press ENTER (or  OK  with your mouse) to return to the
                     "Ticket" Screen.  The  red  check  mark now covers the
                     Category  Icon, signifying that the computer is  ready
                     to do a category search.


              3.  Add a Review Search from the "Ticket" Screen as follows:
                  a) Arrow  over to the Review Icon  and  press  ENTER,  or
                     double click the icon with your mouse.
                  b) At the "Thumbs  Up"  Screen  you  will notice that the
                     default selection  is "Good".  Press ENTER (or OK with
                     your mouse) to return  back  to  the  "Ticket" Screen.
                     Now there is a  red  check  mark  on both the Category
                     Icon and the Review Icon.

              4.  Now add a Year Search:
                  a) Arrow over to the Year Icon and press ENTER.

                  b) Enter 00 in the  "From  Year"  field, and press either
                     the TAB key or  the  Down Arrow Key to move the cursor
                     to the next field.
                  c) Enter 90 in the "To  Year" field and press ENTER. This

                     will see three icons covered by the red check mark.

              5.  Your last search is a Key Word Search:
                  a) Enter the phrase "Nothing Offensive".
                  b) Press the ENTER key, which returns you to the "Ticket"
                     Screen now showing four icons covered by the red check
                     mark.

              6.  Now that  you entered all your search criteria, press the
                  F5 FIND IT! key.  A  green  bar will appear on the screen
                  for a few seconds, and after the computer is done search-
                  ing, the "TV" Screen will appear with your list of movies
                  (at this writing there were 78).

              7.  Notice that each movie has a small check mark next to the
                  title.   This means that it  is  "marked"  for  printing.
                  Browse through this movie list  and press the F7 Mark Key
                  to "unmark" the ones  you  have  seen  or don't appeal to
                  you.

              8.  When you are  satisfied  with your marked list, press the
                  F3 Print key.   The  "50 Per Page" option is the default,
                  so press ENTER to print your list.

              9.  You  now have a printed list  of  good,  clean,  romantic
                  comedies which were released  in  1990  or earlier.  Take
                  this list to your video  store.  Don't wander the isles--
                  go directly to the front  counter and see which movies on
                  your list are in stock.

          As you can see, the purpose of MOVIES TO GO! is to  put  a map in
          your hands of movies you want  to  watch before you walk into the
          video store.  Not only will you stop wasting your  time wandering
          the aisles of your video store, but you will get more out of your
          video dollar because you will  rent a higher percentage of movies
          that you like.



                                 THE SEARCH FUNCTION

          The power of  MOVIES TO GO!  lies  in  its  ability  to  help you
          discover enjoyable movies that  you  have  never  heard of or may
          have forgotten about.  This is what the search  function  is  all
          about.  Press the F2 key to display a menu of the following types
          of searches:
            Category             Cast                 Year

                              THE CATEGORY SEARCH MENU

          After  you  press  the F2 key from the Main Menu, the Search Menu
          Screen  (often  called  the "Ticket" Screen) will  appear.    The
          Category Search icon looks like a file cabinet and  is  the  menu
          option in the upper left hand corner of the "Ticket" Screen.   To
          do a category search, press the ENTER key when the  Category Icon
          is highlighted.  The colorful  Category Menu  Screen  will appear
          with icons representing the 25 categories you can choose from:

              Action               Documentary          Intrigue
              Adventure            Drama                Musical
              Animated             Family               Mystery
              Biography            Fantasy              Romance
              Children             Fitness              Sci-Fi
              Comedy               Foreign              Sports
              Classics             Historical           Suspense
              Crime                Horror               War
                                                        Western

          Action       movies  usually have  battles,  fight  scenes,  drug
                       dealers,   criminals,   guns,   karate,  fast  cars,
                       explosions,  chase  scenes,  and  other   "exciting"
                       themes.

          Adventure    movies have pirates, heroes, jungles,  wild animals,
                       exploring,  mountains, space ships, or other  larger
                       than life experiences.

          Animated     movies are composed primarily of cartoon characters.

          Biography    has  been  a  popular  movie  theme  from  the  very
                       beginning.  These are stories (not necessarily based
                       on fact) about  people,  and  the  events  and ideas
                       which shaped their lives.

          Children     means   that  the  movie  was  aimed  primarily   at
                       children, not adults.   A  good  example  is TEENAGE
                       MUTANT NINJA TURTLES  II.   This is different than a
                       "Family" movie in  that family movies have something
                       to interest mom and dad too.

          Comedy       is a movie which shows  the  lighter  side  of life.
                       This is a broad category and will comprise about one
                       fourth of all movies in MOVIES TO GO!  Searching for
                       comedies  should generally be combined with  another
                       category  too.    For  example, searching for Action

                       Comedies  will  list  such  movies as LETHAL WEAPON.
                       Romantic  Comedies  are  another popular choice. For
                       details, see the "Multiple Category  Search" section
                       on page 10.

          Crime        has to  do  with  illegal  activities  such  as bank
                       robberies, murder investigations, etc.

          Documentary  movies are based on fact, and are  written primarily
                       to provide information about  an  event,  person, or
                       place.

          Drama        shows the serious side of  life.  As with the comedy
                       category, "Drama" covers more than one third  of the
                       movies in MOVIES TO GO!  Searching for dramas should
                       usually  be  combined   with  a  search  in  another
                       category.   For details, see the "Multiple  Category
                       Search" section on page 10.

          Family       movies are good, clean,  movies  that  will interest
                       both adults  and children.  Walt Disney was a master
                       at producing family movies.

          Fantasy      usually  has  dragons, mythology,  sorcery,  ghosts,
                       time travel, and other mythological themes.

          Fitness      is usually videos aimed at helping you  get yourself
                       in shape.

          Foreign      is  a movie made outside the  United  States,  in  a
                       language  other  than English, or  is  subtitled  or
                       dubbed.

          Historical   movies are  based on an  historical event.  However,
                       most  historical  movies  are better at entertaining
                       audiences  than  they  are  at depicting an accurate
                       representation of what actually happened.

          Horror       movies  have  monsters,  werewolves,  vampires,  and
                       other scary creatures.  In  the last 20 years or so,
                       "horror" has come to  mean  ax  murderers, slashers,
                       rapists  and  psychopaths  who  fill the screen with
                       violence and gore.  We have  purposely  omitted many
                       of  these  low-budget,  "violence for violence sake"
                       horror films, and will  attempt  to  warn  you about
                       those we do include in this genre.

          Intrigue     is  spy  movies,  and other cloak-and-dagger themes.
                       You will find all the James Bond films listed in the
                       intrigue category.

          Musical      is both "musicals",  such  as THE SOUND OF MUSIC and
                       movies  which revolve around music such as  AMADEUS.
                       Most of Elvis Presley's movies are listed  under the

                       category "musical" but they aren't "musicals" in the
                       traditional sense of the word.

          Mystery      movies  usually  have a detective  trying  to  piece
                       together the parts of a complex puzzle.

          Romance      is a movie where two people fall in love and  try to
                       build a relationship.

          Sci-Fi       Science  fiction  movies are usually  set  in  outer
                       space, have aliens, ray  guns,  flying  saucers, and
                       are filled with other imaginative  ideas, creatures,
                       events, and themes.

          Sports       movies  are  centered around  basketball,  baseball,
                       boxing, hockey, etc.

          Suspense     movies keep the audience biting their fingernails in
                       anticipation of  what is about to happen next.  Most
                       of  Alfred  Hitchcock's  movies  are in the suspense
                       category.

          War          movies were  popular  after  World  War  II,  but we
                       categorize any movie which has armed  conflict  as a
                       central  theme  as  a  "war"  movie.  That  was  the
                       rationale for the  war classification for ROBIN HOOD
                       -- PRINCE OF THIEVES.

          Western      movies usually take place  in  North  America during
                       the late 1800s, but some westerns  which  take place
                       in  Australia are  also  classified  as  "westerns."
                       QUIGLEY DOWN  UNDER and MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER are two
                       examples.



                              MULTIPLE CATEGORY SEARCH

          You can use MOVIES TO GO! to search for movies that are listed in
          up to three different categories.  To assume,  for  example, that
          all  "Westerns" are identical is absurd.    The  highly  dramatic
          western HIGH NOON is more  like the science fiction movie OUTLAND
          than it is Mel Brook's western comedy BLAZING  SADDLES.  For this
          reason you will  generally  want to search for movies categorized
          in  multiple  categories  such  as,   "Action-Comedy",  "Romance-
          Comedy",  "Drama-Comedy",  "Western-Comedy",   instead   of  just
          "Comedy".

          For example, to search for movies assigned to both the  Drama and
          Western categories, do the following:

              1. Press the F2 Search key, which will  display  the "Ticket"
                 Screen.

              2. Select the "Category" menu option, then press ENTER.

              3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Drama Icon, then press
                 the F7 Mark key to "Mark" that category.  A red check mark
                 will cover that icon.

              4. Arrow to the Western Icon, then press the  F7 key  to mark
                 that category too. Another red check will appear.

              5. Press the ENTER key or press the OK Key  with  your mouse.
                 This  will  return  you  to  the "Ticket" Screen  and  the
                 Category Icon will be checked.

              6. The last step is to press the F5 Find It!  key.    A green
                 bar  will appear on the screen, and  when  the  search  is
                 finished, the "TV" Screen will appear with a  list  of all
                 dramatic westerns.

          This option gives you a way to search by more than 13,000 differ-
          ent category combinations.  Try it!



                                   REVIEW SEARCHES

          MOVIES TO GO! assigns each movie into one of three classes:

              Good
              Average
              Poor

          You  will  find  primarily  "Good"   and   "Average"   movies  in
          MOVIES TO GO!  Movies in the Top 10 in box office gross  for each
          year are always determined to be "Good", as  are  those nominated
          for Best Picture  by  the  Academy  of  Motion  Picture  Arts and
          Sciences.    Other  pictures,  such  as CHILDREN OF A LESSER  GOD
          (which was #47 in box office gross in 1986 at only  $8.7 million)
          are listed as "Good" because the reviewer liked it very much.  As
          you can see, Review Searches are wholly subjective.  Keep that in
          mind  when  you  see  a  movie reviewed as "Good", "Average",  or
          "Poor" and you thoroughly disagree.   Remember, you are the final
          judge of what a "good" movie is.

          Here's how to do a Review Search:

              1. Press the F2 Search key

              2. Select "Review" from the search menu

              3. Use  the  arrow  keys  or  your  mouse  to select  "Good",
                 "Average" or "Poor", then press ENTER

              4. Press the F5 FIND IT! key.

                                    CAST SEARCHES

          It's lots of fun to search for movies which  have  your  favorite
          star. A survey published  in  the  July 17, 1992 issue of "Enter-
          tainment  Weekly" ranked America's favorite actors and  actresses
          as follows:

                 Actor                  Actress
                 -----                  -------

               7) Burt Reynolds       7) Sharon Stone
               8) Steven Seagal

          Arnold  Schwarzenegger  is  reportedly  the  most  popular  actor
          worldwide.  Humphrey Bogart is regarded by most critics to be the
          most powerful actor ever born.  A partial list of other legendary
          or highly acclaimed stars you may want to search for include:

              Andrews, Julie                 Flynn, Errol

                 the F7 Mark key.

                                  DIRECTOR SEARCHES

          The  director's job is to make sure that all the parts of a movie
          come  together  in  a way which will best tell the  story.    The
          director  is  a big part of any great movie.  Some  of  the  best
          directors include:

            Allen, Woody                    Lean, David
            Benton, Robert                  Levinson, Barry

              5. Press the F5 FIND IT! key.

          A list of 27 movies will will appear on  your  screen,  including

                                    YEAR SEARCHES

          Do you like  old  movies,  or  would you rather watch more recent
          movies?  The year search feature will help you narrow  your movie
          list even further.  For example, here's how you  search  for  all
          movies which were released in 1980 or later:

              1. Press the F2 Search key.

              2. Select "Year" from the search menu.

              3. Type 80 in the "From Year" field, then press ENTER.

              4. Leave the "To Year" field blank by pressing ENTER.

              5. Press the F5 FIND IT! key.

          To search for a single year, type that  year  in  both  the "From
          Year" and "To Year" fields.   For  example, to search for all the
          movies made in 1939, enter 39  both  in the "From Year" field and
          the "To Year" field.

          To search for all the movies in a  range  of  years,  ENTER those
          years in the "From Year" and  "To  Year" fields.  For example, to
          list all the  movies  made  in  the  1960s, enter 60 in the "From
          Year" field and 69 in the "To Year" field.



                                MPAA RATING SEARCHES

          The Motion  Picture  Association  of  America  (MPAA)  has issued
          ratings to most movies released after 1968 which will give you an
          idea of a movie's possible objectionable material.  These ratings
          are:

              G      "General Audiences.  All ages admitted."

              PG     "Parental  Guidance Suggested.  Some material may  not
                     be suitable for children.

              PG-13  "Parents  Strongly  Cautioned.    Some material may be
                     inappropriate for children under 13."

              R      "Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying  parent or
                     adult guardian."

              NC-17  "No children under 17 admitted."

          _________________________________________________________________



          Note:  MPAA ratings have undergone slight changes over the years.
          Movies  previously rated "GP", we have  listed  as  "PG";  movies
          previously rated "M" are  listed  as  "PG-13";  movies previously
          rated  "X" are listed as "NC-17".  Some  older  movies  that  are
          rated "PG" but were made prior to the "PG-13" rating would likely
          be rated "PG-13" if they were released today.  1970's M*A*S*H and
          LITTLE BIG MAN are two  examples where the violence, nudity, drug
          use, or adult situations in  these films would probably warrant a
          PG-13 rating today.  On the other hand, many  movies  made during
          the  same  period  which received the R rating  would  receive  a
          PG-13 rating today.

          Here's how you would search for movies which have been designated
          with the "NC-17" MPAA rating:

              1. Press the F2 Search key; the "Ticket" Screen will appear.

              2. Arrow over to the  MPAA  Rating  Icon  and press ENTER, or
                 double  click the icon with your  mouse.    The  "Popcorn"
                 Screen will appear.

              3. Arrow over to the NC-17 Rating Icon and press ENTER.   The
                 "Ticket" Screen will reappear  and  the  MPAA  Rating Icon
                 will be covered by a red check mark.

              4. The last step is to press the F5 FIND IT! key.    A  green
                 status bar will appear on  the screen, and when the search
                 is completed, the "TV" Screen will appear with  a  list of
                 the all NC-17 movies  in  MOVIES TO GO!.   At this writing
                 there only 15.    Some  of  these  actually  have  no MPAA
                 rating, but we listed them as NC-17 to help advise  you of
                 their explicit sexual content or extreme violence.

          One  way  to  help weed out movies  which  contain  objectionable
          material, is  to  do  a  multiple  search  for "G", "PG" and "Not
          Rated" movies:

              1. Press the F2 Search key; the "Ticket" Screen will appear.

              2. Arrow over to the  MPAA  Rating  Icon  and press ENTER, or
                 double  click the icon with your  mouse.    The  "Popcorn"
                 Screen will appear.

              3. Press  the  F7  Mark Key.  A red check mark will cover the
                 Not Rated Icon.

              4. Arrow  over to the G Rating Icon and press F7 Mark key.  A
                 red check mark will cover the G Rating Icon.

              5. Arrow over to the PG Rating Icon and press F7 Mark key.  A
                 red check mark will cover the PG Rating Icon.

          _________________________________________________________________



              6. After  you  have  "marked" the Not Rated, G, and PG icons,
                 press ENTER.  The  "Ticket"  Screen  will reappear and the
                 MPAA Rating Icon will be covered by a red check mark.

              7. Finally, press the F5 FIND IT!  key.    A green status bar
                 will  appear  on  the  screen,  and  when  the  search  is
                 completed, the "TV" Screen will  appear with a list of the
                 Not Rated, G, and PG Rated movies.  At this  writing 3,813
                 movies were found by doing this search.

          NOTE: Be cautious of movies issued after 1980 which fall into the
          "Not  Rated" category. Some films, such  as  ANGEL  HEART,  9 1/2
          WEEKS, and  WARRIOR QUEEN have unrated, more explicit versions in
          video which go beyond their original "R" rating.    Foreign films
          with no rating also often contain explicit material.  We will try
          to alert you to  the  objectionable content in these films in the
          "Contains" section on the Now Showing Screen.



                                  KEY WORD SEARCHES

          Key word searches are perhaps the most fun to do of all!  You can
          search for literally ANYTHING using the Key Word Search.  We have
          tried  to make it easier for you to  find  movies  of  particular
          interest by adding the "Special  Categories"  section.    You can
          also search for your favorite reviewer, author, musician, the Top
          10 grossing films, or the town  in  which you live.  For example,
          how  many  movies  were written by or based on a novel by Stephen
          King?

              1. Press the F2 Search key, which will  display  the "Ticket"
                 Screen.

              2. Arrow over to the Key Word Icon and press ENTER, or double
                 click  the  icon  with your mouse.  The "Candy Bar" screen
                 will appear.

              3. Type in the words "Stephen King", then press  ENTER.   The
                 "Ticket" Screen will  reappear  and the Key Word Icon will
                 be covered by a red check mark.

              4. Lastly,  press  the  F5  FIND  IT! key.  The green  search
                 status bar will be displayed while the  computer searches,
                 and when it is finished, the "TV" Screen will appear.   At
                 this writing 22 movies will be found by doing this search.

                               PERSONAL NOTE SEARCHES

          You can attach your own, 20 character, personal note to any movie
          by pressing the F6 key on the The Now Showing Screen  (see page 5
          for details).  Here is  an  example  of  what  you  can  use this
          feature for:

               1) To catalog your video collection.
               2) To mark the movies you want to see.
               3) To mark the movies your children want to see.
               4) To mark the movies you have seen.
               5) To mark your favorite movies.
               6) To mark movies you want to avoid in the future.

          To catalog your personal video collection, enter TAPE NUMBER XXXX
          in each movie in your collection using the F6 Notes  key  at  the
          Now Showing Screen.  After you have attached this note to several
          movies, search for the  words  TAPE  NUMBER  using the "My Notes"
          Search at the "Ticket" Screen.  Here's how:

              1. Press the F2 Search key, which will  display  the "Ticket"
                 Screen.

              2. Arrow down to the My Notes Icon and press ENTER, or double
                 click the icon with your mouse.  The "Notepad" screen will
                 appear.

              3. Type  in  the  words "TAPE NUMBER", then press ENTER.  The
                 "Ticket" Screen will  reappear  and the My Notes Icon will
                 be covered by a red check mark.

              4. Lastly,  press  the  F5  FIND  IT! key.  The green  search
                 status bar will be displayed while the  computer searches,
                 and when it is finished,  the "TV" Screen will appear with
                 a list of all the movies in your video collection.

              5. Each movie title on the "TV" Screen will have a check mark
                 next  to  it,  meaning that it is "marked" ready to print.
                 To  print a list of your video  collection  press  the  F3
                 Print key.

          _________________________________________________________________



          If you come across a movie that you want to see at a future date,
          press the F6 Notes  key  at  the  Now Showing Screen and attach a
          note with your initials, followed by "Rent This".  After  a while
          you will have dozens  of  entries with "MJP Rent This", "JLP Rent
          This", and "Kids  Rent  This"  that  you can search for, and take
          with you to your video store.  Keep this list in your car so that
          your "Rent This" list will be available when you need it.

          After you watch a movie, enter a note with the date such as, "Saw
          10-10-93".  You can then use the "My Notes" search to make a list
          of  the movies you have seen by searching  for  the  word  "Saw".
          Keeping this record will help you keep from renting a  movie that
          the family has already seen.

          Another way to use the personal notes feature is  when  you  loan
          movies friends, attach a  personal  note  to  each movie that you
          loan  such  as "Loaned to Joan".  To display a list  of  all  the
          movies you have loaned out, do  a  "My Notes" search for the word
          "Loan".    This  will  probably  save you hundreds of dollars  in
          videos which your friends "forget" to return.



                                 COMBINING SEARCHES

          All of the  searches  discussed  in  the  prior  sections  can be
          combined  with  any  of the other  searches.    The  more  search
          conditions you combine, the fewer number of movies will be listed
          on  the  screen  and the better your chances will be of finding a
          film that you will enjoy.

          For example, at this writing,  searching  for  all  Sci-Fi movies
          brings a list of 224 movies.    That's  a lot of movies to browse
          through to find  one  that  you  may like.  Combining this Sci-Fi
          search with a Key Word word search for the words "Top 10" narrows
          the list down to only 20 films--all of which were top  box office
          hits.  Here's how you would do this search:

              1.  At the Main Menu  ("TV"  Screen)  press the F2 Search key
                  from the keyboard or with your mouse.

              2.  At the Search Menu ("Ticket" Screen) do a Category Search
                  using these steps:

                  a) Press ENTER on  the  Category Icon, or double click it
                     with your mouse.
                  b)  Arrow  over  to "Sci-Fi" press ENTER (or OK with your
                     mouse).  The "Ticket"  Screen  will  appear with a red
                     check mark covering the Category Icon.

              3.  Do a Key Word Search from the "Ticket" Screen as follows:

                  a) Arrow  down  to  the Key Word Icon and press ENTER, or
                     double click the icon with your mouse.

          _________________________________________________________________



                  b) At the "Candy Bar" Screen enter the  phrase  "Top 10".
                     Press ENTER (or OK with  your mouse) to return back to
                     the "Ticket" Screen.  Now there is a red check mark on
                     both the Category Icon and the Key Word Icon.

              4.  Now press the F5 FIND IT!  key.   A green bar will appear
                  on the screen for a few seconds, and  after  the computer
                  is done  searching, the "TV" Screen will appear with your
                  list of 20 Sci-Fi movies, all of which were  one  of  the
                  top  10  box  office grossing films in the year they were
                  released.

          You can spend  hours  combining searches in this manner answering
          all your questions about  movies  or  your  favorite actors.  For
          example:

            How many movies did John Wayne make which had  a  World  War II
            setting? (To find out, combine a Cast Search  for  "John Wayne"
            with a Key Word Search for the phrase "World War II".  You will
            be surprised at the number)

            How many horror films  were  the number 1 grossing films in the
            year they were  released?   (Combine a "Horror" Category Search
            with a Key Word search for  the  phrase "Number 1".  The search
            will reveal only one movie.)

            Which romantic comedy stars Arnold Schwarzenegger?  (Search for
            both  Comedy  and  Romance  categories,  combined  with  a cast
            search.)

            Was Julie Andrews ever  in  any R rated films? (Combine as cast
            search and an a rating search)

            How many movies did Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas star in
            together? (Do a cast  search  for  both  people as explained on
            page 13.)



                                    HOW TO PRINT

          Printing the information in  MOVIES TO GO!  is  a  snap.  You can
          print information on an individual movie, or on a list of movies.
          To print the information on a single movie do the following:

              1)  From the Main ("TV") menu,  type in the first few letters
                  of the movie's title.  For example, to  print  the infor-
                  mation on THE SOUND OF MUSIC, type "soun".  You  may have
                  to press the Down Arrow key a few times to  highlight the
                  movie you want.

              2)  When SOUND OF  MUSIC,  THE is highlighted on your screen,
                  press the F7 Mark key.  You will see a check  mark appear
                  at the right side of the title.

          _________________________________________________________________



              3)  Now  press the F3 Print key.  A  menu  will  appear  with
                  three options:

                     a) 50 Movies Per Page.   This  prints  the  Title, the
                        Year, and your personal notes on a single line.
                     b) 3  Movies  Per  Page.    This  prints   the  title,
                        director,  actors,  year,  MPAA  rating,  and  your
                        personal notes.
                     c) 1 Movie Per Page.   This prints all the information
                        stored about each movie on a single page.

              4.  Use the Down Arrow key to select 1 per  page  then  press
                  ENTER.  All the information on THE SOUND OF MUSIC will be
                  printed including the review.

          It is easy  to print a list movies too.  If you know which movies
          you want to print, follow  the above procedure of marking movies,
          and do the printing in one  step.   The most common way, however,
          of printing  a  list  of  movies is by doing a search.  After you
          press  F5  Find  It! key, the list of the movies that satisfy the
          search  criteria will be displayed on the  screen.    Each  movie
          listed  will  be  "marked" ready for printing.  Press the F7 Mark
          key to unmark movies that you do not want to print.

          You will find these printed pages are very useful. Here are a few
          ways you might use them:

              1)  Use  the  "50  Movies Per Page" option to print an alpha-
                  betical list of  your  video collection.  (See page 5 for
                  details how to catalog your video collection  and page 20
                  for  information  on  how to search for the tapes in your
                  collection.)

              2)  Use the "3 Movies Per Page" to print a list of movies you
                  would  like  to  rent  and  take it to your video  store.
                  Remember to keep this list in your car so you will always
                  have it  when  you  decide  to  rent  a movie at the last
                  minute.

              3)  If you loan movies to your friends, be sure to use the F6

                               UPDATING MOVIES TO GO!

          One of the things  that  makes MOVIES TO GO unique is that we add
          200 or  more  additional  movies  to  it  each month, and you can

          _________________________________________________________________



          update your software with  these  updates  as  often as you like.
          Some  people update every month, some  every  three  months,  and
          others feel that just one update per year is sufficient.

          Updates for MOVIES TO GO!  are  $12.95  plus  $4.00  shipping and
          handling ($6.00  outside  North  America).   Updates  are sent on
          three high density 3.50" (1.44 megabyte) diskettes.

          If you have a modem (9600 baud or faster is recommended) and plan
          to  update  your  software more than  twice  per  year  you  will
          probably want to subscribe to our MOVIE UPDATE BBS service.   The
          cost for this service is only $25 per year.  Call ImagiSOFT's BBS
          at  (505) 275-9696 N, 8, 1  to subscribe to the MOVIE UPDATE BBS.
          Download MDATA.ZIP  after you  enter your name,  address,  credit

          These update offers are for registered users only.    Someone who
          orders  an  update  without having a registered  version  of  the
          program will be  disappointed  because we generally only send the
          new data files (see page 30 for a list  of  these  files)  on the
          update disks.



                               CRITERIA FOR NEW MOVIES

          Over 50,000 movies have been made and more than  500  new  movies
          are released each year.  Separating the best movies from  the run
          of the mill is not  an easy task, but it is one we deal with each
          day.   Before  we  add  a  movie  to MOVIES TO GO! we evaluate it
          according to this criteria:

              1.  We always include movies which were one of the top 10 box
                  office  grossing movies in each year.    Because  it  was
                  rereleased several times, GONE WITH THE  WIND  meets this
                  test in three separate years.

              2.  We always include movies which  were  nominated  for Best
                  Picture  by  the  Academy  of  Motion  Picture  Arts  and
                  Sciences.  Films nominated for Best Actor,  Best Actress,
                  and  Best Director are also high on  our  list,  and  are
                  generally included.

          _________________________________________________________________



              3.  We usually include movies which are  highly  acclaimed by
                  several movie critics.

              4.  We generally add movies when an enthusiastic user submits
                  us a nice review about a movie they  liked.  (See page 25
                  for details about how to submit your own movie reviews.)

              5.  New movies get preference over older movies.

              6.  We  give  a  higher priority to US films than movies made
                  outside the United States.

              7.  Films which are available in  video  get  preference over
                  those which are not.

              8.  Movies which feature popular actors have a  better chance
                  of being entered than films with unknown stars.



                               SUBMIT YOUR OWN REVIEWS

          Since the  reviews  for  MOVIES TO GO!  are  written  by ordinary
          people who like to watch movies, we naturally  are  interested in
          having as many people as possible submit reviews for publication.
          You  can  submit  reviews  for  your  favorite  movies  with  the

                            HOW TO INSTALL MOVIES TO GO!

          We use THE FINISHING TOUCH, another ImagiSOFT product, to install
          MOVIES TO GO!  This program  compresses  the files on the disk so
          that we can send the program on fewer disks.  For this reason you
          can't simply copy the diskettes  to your hard drive--you must use
          our installation program.

          Installing  MOVIES TO GO!  is simple, simply  enter  the  command
          A:INSTALL (or if you  are  installing  from drive B:, B:INSTALL).
          The installation program will detect what hardware  your computer
          has  and  proceed  accordingly.  Follow the  directions  as  they
          appear on the screen.


                                 RECOMMENDED HARDWARE

          The   graphics  edition  of  MOVIES TO GO!  requires  an   MS DOS
          compatible  computer, a VGA monitor, 3  megabytes  of  hard  disk
          space, and 550 K of free conventional memory (see  page 27  for a
          detailed description about PC memory).  We recommend that you use
          it  on  a 386 or faster computer, but this is not  required.    A

          mouse and a  Soundblaster  compatible  sound  card  are desirable
          options.

          If  you  find  the graphics version too  sluggish,  run  TEXT.EXE
          instead  of  MOVIES.EXE.   The text  version  of  MOVIES  TO  GO!
          requires an MS DOS computer  with  only  256 K  free conventional
          memory  and  1.5  megabytes of hard  disk  space.    A  mouse  is
          supported.  Running  the  text  version  will  save  you  about a
          megabyte of hard  disk  space  because  you  can  delete  all the
          graphics files.  For information on which files to delete see the
          "Required Files" section on page 30.

                                 RUNNING FROM WINDOWS

          MOVIES TO GO! can be launched from Microsoft Windows by adding it
          to your Windows environment with following steps:

              1) In  the  Program  Manager press the ALT-F key to pull down
                 the "Files Menu".

              2) Press the N key for "New".

              3) Select "Program Item".

              4) In the "Description" field, enter MOVIES TO GO!

              5) In the "Command Line" field, enter \MOVIES\MOVIES.PIF.

              6) Press the "Change Icon" button and when it prompts for the
                 file name enter \MOVIES\MOVIES.ICO.



                                  TROUBLE SHOOTING

                                  NOT ENOUGH MEMORY

          The most common support question  we receive here at ImagiSOFT is
          "I have eight megabytes  of  memory in my computer, why does your
          program say that there isn't enough memory to run it?"  For users
          of  MS-DOS  6.0,  the  short  answer  to  this question  is  "Run
          MEMMAKER."    The  detailed  answer  to this is question, and  an
          explanation of how the MEMMAKER  utility  works,  is  that MS-DOS
          computers have several types of memory:

          Conventional Memory is the first 640K.

          Upper Memory, the next 384K between 640K and 1 megabyte.

          Extended Memory (XMS), memory  above  1  megabyte  (defined using
          EMM386.EXE).

          Expanded Memory (EMS), memory  above  1  megabyte  (defined using
          EMM386.EXE) or another memory driver.

          _________________________________________________________________



          Sound confusing?  It is.   But  the  primary thing to you need to
          know is that Conventional Memory  is  the  most precious--without
          it, most programs will  run  out  memory--even  if you have eight
          megabytes of total memory!  To check how much conventional memory
          your computer has free, enter the command MEM /C and look for the
          column  titled  Conventional  Memory.  If you have less than 550K
          free, your computer probably is  not  configured  to  its maximum
          potential.

          The primary reason DOS 5.0  (and  now  DOS 6.0)  is so popular is
          that it comes  with  the HIMEM.SYS memory management utility that
          DOS 3 or DOS 4 doesn't have.  The primary purpose of HIMEM.SYS is
          to "Load High" into upper memory major portions of DOS, and other
          programs when you turn your computer on.

          The first step  in  getting  more  memory is to enter the command
          EDIT CONFIG.SYS at your DOS prompt on your C: drive.  If you have
          a 386 or 486  class  computer,  your  CONFIG.SYS file should look
          similar to the following:

              buffers=20                                  (number can vary)
              files=60                                    (number can vary)
              device=c:\dos\himem.sys            (always include this line)
              device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems    (only if you have 2 megs or
                                                                      more)
              dos=high,umb                       (always include this line)

          All other resident .SYS,  .EXE,  and  .COM  programs in this file
          should be preceded by devicehigh = instead of just device =.  For
          example, replace device = mouse.sys with devicehigh  = mouse.sys.
          In  most  cases,  following these few steps  will  increase  your
          memory dramatically by putting  these  programs  in  upper memory
          instead of conventional memory.

          After you are done editing  CONFIG.SYS,  EDIT  AUTOEXEC.BAT. Your
          AUTOEXEC.BAT file will  usually  have  something  similar  to the
          following:
              verify on                                          (optional)
              set home = c:\bingo                                (optional)
              prompt $p$g                              (could be different)
              path \dos;c:\util                      (probably much longer)
              loadhigh \dos\mouse.com                        (mouse driver)

          The important thing to remember with AUTOEXEC.BAT is  to  use the
          loadhigh  command  on  all resident .EXE and .COM programs to put
          these  programs  into  upper  memory.   For example,  instead  of
          loading the mouse into conventional memory with the command
              \dos\mouse.com

          Use the command
              loadhigh \dos\mouse.com
          to  put  the  mouse driver in  upper  memory  and  increase  your
          available conventional memory by about 20 K.

          _________________________________________________________________



          When you  are done making changes to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT,
          reboot your computer.  Enter the command MEM /C  again,  and  you
          should see that  your  computer has much more conventional memory
          available than it  did  before.    If this section is beyond your
          experience, or if  these  changes don't free up more conventional
          memory, get help from an expert.


                                MY MOUSE DOESN'T WORK

          Some people report that  their  mouse  works in Microsoft Windows
          but it doesn't work in MOVIES TO GO!  This is because Windows has
          a built-in mouse driver,  whereas    MOVIES TO GO! uses the mouse
          driver which is loaded into  your computer's memory when you turn
          it on.   When  you  bought  your  mouse it included a floppy disk
          containing the  mouse driver software and documentation on how to
          install it.  Please refer  to this documentation and install your
          mouse driver accordingly.


                          THE PROGRAM IS SLOW ON MY COMPUTER

          If  have  a  286,  or  386 SX  class  computer,  you may find the
          graphics version too sluggish.  Because it has  no  graphics, you
          will find that TEXT.EXE runs  much faster than MOVIES.EXE.  Also,
          running the text version  will  save you about a megabyte of hard
          disk space because you can delete all the graphics  files.    For
          information on which files  to  delete,  see the "Required Files"
          section on page 30.



                                        SETUP

          The opening screen of MOVIES TO GO! (the one which  has  a box of
          popcorn, a soft drink, and two video tapes on  a  platter)  waits
          for you to press one of the following three buttons:

              OK        which is the ENTER key.    Press  this  button from
                        your keyboard, or  press  the OK on the screen with
                        your mouse.   Press  this key to bypass this screen
                        and continue on to the Main Menu.

              F8 Setup  allows you  to turn the animated icons and sound on
                        or  off.    The  animated  icons are lots  of  fun,
                        especially in the beginning, but many people prefer
                        not to wait for the icons to animate.

                        full capacity.   If you have see our game Redhook's
                        Revenge!  you  will  recognize the parrot character
                        who  walks  you   through  the  major  features  of

                                      FILE LIST

                                     TEXT VERSION

          The text version of  MOVIES TO GO!  requires  the least amount of
          memory  and hard disk space.  The text  interface  has  only  one
          printing option,  doesn't have the personal notes feature, and of
          course, doesn't have any graphics or sound.  If you have an older
          computer, are tight on disk space, or just prefer not to have all
          the "whistles and bells", these six files are all you need:

             TEXT.EXE                             Text Interface Program
             1A.FIL                                         Data File #1
             2A.FIL                                         Data File #2
             3A.FIL                                         Data File #3
             4A.FIL                                         Data File #4
             ORDER.TXT                            Data Update Order Form


                                   GRAPHICS VERSION

          In addition to the files needed for the text version, the follow-
          ing  files  are  required   to   run   the  graphics  version  of
          MOVIES TO GO:

             MOVIES.EXE                       Graphics Interface Program
             MOVIE.HLP                                         Help File
             MOVIE.WL                               Graphics File - Main
             ICON.WL                               Graphics File - Icons
             HELV.SF                                           Font File
             NOTE.FIL                                Personal Notes File
             MOVIE.FIL                                Configuration File

                                    OPTIONAL FILES

          MOVIES TO GO! will run without  any  of  the following files, but
          most of these  files  are  the  "whistles  and  bells"  that make
          MOVIES TO GO! unique:
