~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EmailMan 1.1 Demo Documentation Copyright 1993 by Scott R. Garrigus SRG Software ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Release Date: Tuesday, June 9, 1993 This is a free demo of EmailMan 1.1. It may be distributed freely as long as all included files remain intact and unaltered. It may not be sold or included with any commercial product without written permission from SRG Software. INCLUDED FILES... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following files are included in the EmailMan Demo package: EMDEMO11.ACC The Demo accessory/program. EMAIL11H.RSC The High resolution resource file. EMAIL11L.RSC The Low resolution resource file. EMDEMO11.TXT This Documentation file. EMPRES11.TXT The EmailMan Press Release. EM_ORDER.TXT The EmailMan Order Form. SAMPLE.EML EmailMan Sample Database file. WHAT IT IS... ~~~~~~~~~~ EmailMan is a dedicated database for keeping track of email addresses. It runs as either a program or an accessory. When run as an accessory it is always available in the background and can also type your email addresses into any other open application such as your terminal program. Addresses can be loaded, saved, found, added, edited, deleted, transmitted, etc. EmailMan will save and load database files containing up to 200 names, email addresses, and optional notes. INSTALLING THE EMAILMAN DEMO... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The EmailMan demo runs both as a program and as an accessory. To run it as a program just rename EMDEMO11.ACC to EMDEMO11.PRG and double-click on it with the mouse. To run it as an accessory, leave the filename as it is (EMDEMO11.ACC). If your lucky enough to own CodeHead Technologies MultiDesk (Deluxe), you can load the demo as either a resident or non-resident accessory. Otherwise, copy EMDEMO11.ACC into the root directory of your boot drive and reboot your computer. USING THE EMAILMAN DEMO... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The EmailMan demo can be operated using either the mouse or the computer keyboard. All of the commands have keyboard equivalents. The first letter in the name of the command is the key which is used to activate that command. For example, the key equivalent for the Load command is L. Load (L) allows you to access a database file from a disk drive. Save (S) allows you to store a database file to a disk drive. *** This feature is disabled in this demo version. *** Find (F) allows you to search for a certain record in the current database. Add (A) allows you to input a new record into the current database. *** The number of records is limited to 5 in this demo version. *** Edit (E) allows you to edit a record in the current database. Delete (D) allows you to delete a record in the current database. Transmit (T) allows you to send an email address(es) (using the current configuration settings) to any other open application that is GEM compatible. Config (C) allows you to set the demo's configuration parameters. Records can be marked and unmarked by using the M key or selecting the name field with the mouse. A Little Tutorial... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you first start to use EmailMan you'll want to build up a database of the email addresses you use. To add an address to the current database just select the Add function. A small dialog box will open asking you to input a name, email address, and optional note. Type in John Dough, then press the TAB key to go to the next field. Now type in J.DOE and for an optional note, type in Best friend on GEnie. Now press the RETURN key to accept this data. After this, EmailMan will display what you just entered and make it the current record. Since we made a mistake in the person's last name we'll have to edit the record and change it. Select the Edit function. The same dialog box will appear and allow you to make any changes that you wish. Go ahead and change the last name to Doe and then press RETURN to accept the changes. Now that we have an address in our database we can do a number of things with it. We've already done some editing to it so now let's try the Delete function. Select the Delete function. You will be asked which record you'd like to delete. For now just press RETURN to select the current record. Then you will be asked if you'd really like to delete the record. Since we don't want to at the moment, just select No with the mouse. (Or if you happen to be lucky enough to own CodeHead Technologies Warp9, you can use the function keys on your computer keyboard to select buttons in alert boxes. This will make EmailMan totally useable from the keyboard. Please refer to your Warp9 manual for information pertaining to these features.) One of the most important functions of EmailMan is Transmit. This will actually type the email address into another application for you. So let's say for example, your using your favorite terminal program and you want to write a letter to John. If you have EmailMan running as an accessory and your terminal program is GEM compatible, you can search for John's email address using the Find function and then have EmailMan type it in for you using the Transmit function. To do this, just select the Find function. You'll be asked which field you would like to search on. Most of the time you'll be looking for a name, as in this instance, so just press RETURN to select the name field. Then type in any part of the name you want to find, such as John, to find all the names with that combination of letters in them. EmailMan will display the first one it finds. If it's not the right one, just select Find again, press RETURN twice and it will look for the next. When it _does_ find the right one, select the Transmit function. Press RETURN to select the current record. Now position the mouse into the other program's window or display. Then press RETURN. You'll see John's email address being typed on the screen. When your done adding, editing, etc. be sure to save your work. Select the Save function. You will be presented with the file selector, which will have a default filename typed in. You can change this to anything you want. For now, just press RETURN and your file will be saved with the filename EMAILMAN.EML. If you hadn't saved your work and tried to leave EmailMan, it would ask you before quitting if you wanted to or not. To exit EmailMan all you need to do is close it's window. You can also just press the ESCAPE or Q keys. The result will be the same. If you haven't saved your work, EmailMan will ask you if you'd like to before exiting. If you _have_ saved your work, then the program will just exit, no questions asked. Have fun with the demo! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For a complete list of the features of EmailMan, read the enclosed press release file.
