I. Introduction

Thanks for trying our product ! 

	We hope SmartShop will help your lives like it help ours. We, users
before everything, always wanted a way to organize our shoppings in super-
markets and other convinience stores. Did you remember when you had that
sensation that the prices were a little higher? SmartShop will help you
prevent this situation, since it keeps track of all prices. If you think
that the shop is raising the price too much, you simply start buying in
other places. And about forgotten products ? How many times you wanted to
eat something only to realize you forgot to buy it ! You only realize it 
when it's too late !
	We tried to make our product as easy as possible to use. It's so
easy to use that you can walk at the supermaket with the Pilot in hand, and
record all the items you buy in a practical and painless way. Forget those
old-fashioned paper lists! You payed for your PDA, now it's time to use it
and make your life easier (this is what PDAs are intended for, aren't they?).
If don't want to walk with your Pilot, you can also use our program just
to record everything when you arrive home. A missing product can always be
inserted in next week shopping. You can also record the items you are buying
in the shop and them record the prices at the commodity of your home, so
minimizing shopping time.
	If you want to say anything to us, don't wait any more and contact
our homepage at "http://w3.openlink.com.br/handyware". We're waiting to 
hear about your experiences with our product. Your feedback is what will 
make us add a feature in future versions.
	And remember: updates are free ! If you want to make any suggestion
for future releases, feel free to do it! Maybe the solution you need is the
same of other user's, and we can make your desires come true !

II. Using SmartShop

	SmartShop is made of 3 sections:

- Product Window : it's here where you register the name of the products you
buy. The product window shows a database of all the products currently
registered. When you want to buy something, the first thing you do is add
the name of the product to this window, if it isn't already registered.
If you want to buy a product (Beer, for example) in more than one place,
you have to register it's name just one time. In the other windows you will
be able to distribute the products in shops.

- Shop Window : The "Shop" is an abstraction of "Product Container". You
register here not only the shops you use to buy your products. You can
also register something like "HandyMart, Weekly" and "HandyMart, Monthly", so
you will able to register the products you buy weekly (like cheese,milk) at
HandyMart and the products you buy in the end of the month (like soap).

- Buy Window : Here is where you register the products contained in a shop.
Here you can register if you already bought the product, the quantity, last
month price (LP) and current price (CP) . It's the window you will use the most. 
When you add a product to a shop, you will be able to choose from the list of
products already registered in the Product Window. The prices and quantities
you assign to each product are absolutely independent in each shop, like
the flag telling if you already bought the product, so you can keep track
of prices in many shops and compare them later.

       Now we will describe the options of all windows in a simple tutorial
to make easier for you to handle our software.

III. Product Window

       Every time you run SmartShop, you will be in the Product Window.
Note a list in the screen (empty when you run SmartShop for the first time)
and 3 buttons. From here you control everything in this window. Let's add
some products. Click with the pen in the "New" button in the bottom of the
screen. A Window will popup and wait for you to write the product name. When
you finish writing the name, click on "Ok". Clicking on "Cancel" will abort
the operation without adding anything to the list.
	Add 3 products: "Beer", "French Fries" and "Eggs". If you want to
edit the names, click on the product name and select "Edit". You will be able
to edit the product name. Note that changing the product name will change
this product in ALL shops that have the product. The prices, quantities and
the flag will be unchanged, however.
	Cliking on "Delete" erases the item selected by the pen, removing
it of all shops. A confirmation is asked before the delete process happens
effectively.
	Now that you added 3 products, let's go to the Shop Window. Click
on the "Menu" button on your Pilot. Select the "Product" Menu, and click on
the "Shop List" option.

IV. Shop Window

	Now you will be able to create shops to hold your products. The
workings of this window are absolutely identical to Product Window's. Let's
add a shop. Click the "New" button and add write "HandyShop". You can edit
and delete this name like you do with the products. Now let's add the
products to this shop. Click on the "HandyShop" entry and the click on the
"Menu" button. Select the "Buy" menu and you will see 2 options:

- New : Choosing new, all the flags telling if you buyed a product will be
reset, so the next time you enter the shop, all the products will be in the
"Not Bought" state. The prices registered for the "Current Price" entry will
be copied to "Last Price" (see later), so you will be able to keep track of
the prices. The quantities stay unchanged.

- Resume : You resume a shopping. Nothing changes in the products registered
in the shop.

Since the shop has no products, you can choose any option. Choose "New", for
example.

V. Buy Window

	When you choose "New" or "Resume", will be brought to this window.
You will see 3 buttons in the bottom of the screen, a column of boxes and
2 lists. The bigger list in the center of the screen hold the names of the
products. The narrower in the right show the quantities of each product. The
boxes are the "Buy Flags", telling if you bought or not a specific product.
Since you have no products in the list, everything is disabled. Let's add
some products to the "HandyShop" (note the title in the top of the window).
Click on the "New" button and a small version of the Product Window will
popup. Choose "Eggs" and click on the "Ok" button. The "Cancel" button would
abort the operation and no products would be added.
	Now you will see the name "Eggs" and the quantity "1" in the right.
The default quantity of any product is 1. Now let's change some things. Click
on the "Eggs" name and the click on "Edit". In this window you will be able
to edit the quantity and the price. The starting price defaults to 0.0. You
see the "Last price" , defaulted to 0.0. Change the quantity to 3, clicking
on the quantity field and the change the price to "1.00". Click on the "Ok"
button to confirm the changes. The "Cancel" button would ignore your changes
and keep the old values.
	You are seeing now 3 as the quantity. Notice that the new value 
appears below the ListBox. Click on the box left of the "Eggs" entry. 
Now the box is checked. It would mean that you bought eggs. Like the 
Product and Shop Windows, you can delete the entry or add more entries 
in the list.
	Now, if desired, you can see the total spent for all the 
products purchased in that shop by clicking the "Menu button" and 
choosing the "Total" option.
	Click on the "Menu" button and choose the "Exit" option on the "Buy"
menu to return to the Shop Window.
	When you arrive at "Shop Window", click on the "HandyShop" name and
then on the "Menu" button. Choose the "New" option in the "Buy" menu.
	Now we are again in the Buy Window. Note that the checkbox is reset,
what wouldn't happen if you choosed "Resume" instead of "New". Now select
the "Eggs" entry and click on "Edit". Note that "1.00" become the Last Price.

VI. Backing-up your database

	Backing-up your lists follows the same regular procedures of other 
programs. When you HotSync with the desktop, all the databases of the current
installed applications are automatically backed-up. The only detail for 
SmartShop is that it splits your data in 3 databases. When you want to install 
the backup data, you use the Install Tool of the Pilot Desktop and install the 
following files which will be located in your default backup path:

	PRODUCT_DATABSE.PDB
	SHOP_AUX_DATABSE.PDB
	SHOP_DATABASE.PDB

VII. Registering the software

	At first, visit our homepage at "http://w3.openlink.com.br/handyware"
to know the procedures to be done in order to get the software with its
full features.
	Then, click on the "Menu" button in the Product Window. Click on
the "Register" option in submenu "Options". The Register Window will ask
for your name and your code, which will be sent by e-mail to you after
the payment.
	If you don't register it, the program will work with a built-in
limit of 10 products, 3 shops and 6 products per shop. If you do, the
release version raises all limits to 255.

VIII. Known limitations

- The prices currently only accept the "." character as a separator. This
funcionality probably will be extended in the future.
