HELP! for: The Micro Haus Multimedia WorkStation Cost Estimator ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ This program is a sub-set of the main quotation system in use at Micro Haus. It will allow you to fine tune your system requirements so you can achieve the best possible 'value for money' package. Use of the program is fairly intuitive but, if you need a refresher, simply follow the guidelines below: Backing Out ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ At all times (other than to quit the program completely), pressing the [ESC] key will backtrack one step. To quit the program completely, strike the F10 key. Selecting from a menu ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ To make a selection from a menu, either use the arrow keys to place the highlight bar over your selection or press the key corresponding to the first letter of your selection. To actually make your choice, press the [RETURN] key. Once you have made a selection, you can go back and alter it at any time. Do note that certain selections are dependant upon others. For example, if you choose a set of memory for a 386DX board, it is quite likely that if you change your selection to a 286 or SX board, your chosen memory will be incompatible. That being the case, you will be prompted to enter the correct detail and your present selection for the memory will be nulled. Printing A Quote ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ To get a hard copy of your quote, press the F9 key. The quote, which will be dated, will be printed out to LPT1. Before printing, you will be asked to enter your name and address - this will appear on the quotation form. Please note that you can use this printed output as the basis for your order should you wish to do so.
