                          MAIN MENU HELP                       
                     

     Note: See the box's highlighted bottom line for scrolling keys.

                        This is the Main Menu.

     To see information on the product type you desire, just touch 
     the key for the letter to its left.  You may return to this 
     screen from anywhere in the system by touching F2.


                           FUNCTION KEYS:
     The top line on the screen always provides your function key 
     options.  For example, F1 brought you here.  

                                F4
     F4 Hardcopy Reporting Option:    This option is turned on 
     from this main menu only by touching the F4 key.   
     After touching F4 from the main menu, you may touch F1 for a 
     help screen with more complete information.  A brief 
     explanation is provided below. 
     
     As you go to other screens, you will have the option to list 
     items in order of best price.  To choose what you want listed 
     out you will be asked to enter selective text to search upon. 
     Normally, this is printed only on the screen.  When you select 
     this option, it will be directed to the printer instead.
     
     For example, in the hard drives area you might ask for only  
     40mb  hard drives.  What if you want that data listed on your 
     printer rather than your screen?   Prior to selecting search 
     text to produce a listing, return to this main menu (touch F2 
     if you are not already here) and touch F4 and then the ENTER 
     key to turn Hard Copy Mode on for one listing.  Now, when you 
     perform normal database searches, the listings you produce will 
     be directed to your printer rather than to your screen.  Be 
     sure your printer is turned on.  AFTER EACH LISTING IS 
     COMPLETED, THE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY RETURNS TO SCREEN OUTPUT 
     MODE.  If you wish to make several paper listings, touch F2 
     after each (which returns you to this main menu) and 
     reinitiate the hardcopy option again by touching F4. 

                                F5

     F5 calls up information describing how to order the diskette 
     that includes the names and phone numbers of the vendors 
     offering the lowest U.S. prices for each product.

                                 F10
     F10 exits you to your operating system.

     Touch Esc to return to your screen.
