                          ABOUT "ROBERT & RUFUS"
                         ------------------------
  Hi! I'm Robert the programmer who created LnL, and Rufus is my dog.
  Originally LnL was distributed under just my name, but Rufus insisted
  that LnL would not have been possible without his close supervision of
  the project (while laying on the bed next to the computer).  I'm not
  sure this really entitles him to be listed as joint author, but he
  does such a good job of licking the stamps for outgoing mail that
  it's only proper he share in the fame LnL has brought our way.

  IBM and PC-DOS are registered trademarks of International Business

                          I.  WHAT YOU'LL NEED (& Have)


       EQUIPMENT:    An IBM PC or Compatible with:
256 K RAM
                              1 or More Drives (2 recommended)
                              Parallel printer
                              Monitor (any type)
                              PC -DOS OR Ms - DOS


    W/P SOFTWARE:    Word Processing Program, which can produce
                     one or both of the following:       
                        - An ASCII Text Format file (sometimes called
                          the non-document modein your W/P book).
                        - A Print File.  This is usually accomplished
                          by telling your W/P program to print to a
                          disk-file instead of the printer.  This file
                          may include "Printer Control Codes" to tell
                          your printer to bold, underline, etc.
                     The program PC-Write (TM of Quicksoft/Seattle)
                     does an excellent job of producing either type
                     of file, and is highly recommended.

        SUPPLIES:    - Several blank formatted Disks
                     - Labels - 1,2,3 or 4 Across will work fine.
                     - Can of "Dr. Pepper" - Regular or Sugar Free


           OTHER:    1 Friend experienced with PC's

                       If you get stuck while using this program, then
                       find a friend who uses PC's and see if they might
                       be able to offer a suggestion.  I've puzzled hours
                       over some problems, only to have "friend" come
                       over to my desk and point out the solution.


              * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
              *   WHAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR DISK   (Hopefully)  *
              * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


  Your "LnL" Program disk should contain the following files:

        LNL     .EXE   - The Program
        LNLQUICK.MAN   - The File with this Quick Guide
        CHIMNEY        - Sample file of names for you to try
        WOODBOX        - Sample letter for use in preparing Form
                         LETTERS
        READ    .ME    - Brief instructions on how to get started and
                         any last minute changes not noted elsewhere.
        LNLCOPY .BAT   - A Batch File for copying all these files to
                         another disk (in drive B) for your friends.

  After you have used LnL and exited with the "X" option from the menu,
  you will also have the file "LNL.DEF" on your disk.  This file stores
  information on the PC compatibility level, screen colors, and "default
  Drive " for data you are using."

                                    
                                     Page #1




                      II.  COPYING "LnL" TO YOUR DISK


  If you have not already done so, you should copy this program onto
  another diskette, and save the original for safekeeping in case your
  "Daily Use Copy" becomes worn or unusable.

  Also, the disk sent to you or made for you by another probably will not
  have the "COMMAND.COM" and other PC-DOS/MS-DOS files necessary for
  running this program from a cold start.

  So now that you've received the motivational pitch, here is a brief
  guide to making a copy of the program.


  FOLKS WITH TWO FLOPPY DISKETTE DRIVES

           1.   Boot up your computer, so that the DOS prompt,
                an "A" followed by the arrow, is showing.
           2.   Insert Original LETTERS n LABELS Program disk in Drive B.
           3.   Insert BLANK Formatted (with system) disk in Drive A.
           4.   Type in:  COPY B:*.* (return)
           5.   When all the red lights go out, take the disk out of
                Drive B and put it away in a safe place.
           6.   Take the disk out of Drive A and label it as your
                "Daily Use Copy" of the Program.


  FOLKS WITH A HARD DISK

           1.   Boot up your computer, so that the DOS prompt,
                a "C" followed by the arrow, is showing.
           2.   Insert Original LETTERS n LABELS Program disk in Drive A.
           3.   Type in:   COPY A:*.* (return)
           4.   When all the red lights go out, take the disk out of
                Drive A and put it away in a safe place.
           5.   Your hard disk now has the program and required files
                loaded.

  THOSE OF YOU WITH ONE DISKETTE DRIVE


           1.   Boot up your computer, so that the DOS prompt,
                an "A" followed by the arrow, is showing.
           2.   Insert Original LETTERS n LABELS Program disk in Drive A.
           3.   Type in:   COPY *.* B: (return)
           4.   IMPORTANT:  The DOS "COPY" function will instruct you to
                insert the disk for Drive A and B at various times.
                Follow these directions each time they are given,
                remembering that:
                      "A" is the Original Program Disk
                      "B" is the new disk you are making.
           5.   When the copying is complete, and the DOS prompt
                re-appears, remove the last disk in the machine.
           6.   Put the Original Program Disk away in a safe place, and
                label the new disk as your "Daily Use Copy".





                                     Page #2




                         III.  STARTING THE PROGRAM


  FOLKS WITH FLOPPY DISKS

           1. Make sure you have the DOS Prompt (A and arrow) showing and
              then insert the "Daily Use Copy" of the Program disk into
              Drive A .
           2. Type:  LNL (return)

  FOLKS WITH HARD DISKS

           1.  Make sure you have the DOS Prompt (C and arrow) showing.
           2.  Type:  LNL (return)


  EVERYONE MEET BACK HERE

  The LETTERS n LABELS program will take a few seconds to load, followed
  by a display of the LnL Mailbox logo, and then the musical departure
  of the LnL Song Bird.  Press the (SpaceBar) to continue.

  Lots of things appear on the screen at once, so look 'em all over, then
  shift your eyes to the box on the right labeled "MULTI-USE AREA".

  This area will be used for a variety of things, including the Primary Menu,
  which is what you see displayed there now.

  From the Primary Menu, you can pick what you want the program to do by
  pressing the letter shown at the left of each item.

  If you pick an item from the Primary Menu by accident, or change your mind
  after picking an item, press the (Esc) key to "Escape" from your choice.



  YOUR FIRST MENU CHOICE

  Before you can print any Letters or Labels, or even edit the names, you
  must start by CREATING A NEW FILE.  Press "C" and then enter a filename
  to store the names as.

  If you want to store on a Drive other than that shown, press the
  (Backspace) key twice and then type in the Drive Designator and File
  Name desired.

  After you have typed in the name for a new file and pressed (Return),
  the cursor will move to the "NAME EDITING AREA", where you can start
  entering the names.

                       IV.  ENTERING & EDITING NAMES


  The Words in the NAME EDITING AREA are fairly descriptive of the type
  of information you should enter on each line.  While typing in this
  area you can use all of the cursor keys, the (Tab) key, and the (Ins)
  and (Del) keys to modify typing already done.

  The function keys that are active during editing are shown in the box
  just below the NAME EDITING AREA.  Each of these will be described a
  bit more further on.

  For now, a few comments are in order about what to type in on each of
  the 9 lines in the NAME EDITING AREA.

           NAME:     Type in either a person's full name, or Company
                     name, but be certain to type in something. If you
                     would like this name sorted by other than the
                     last name on the line, use an asterisk (*) in the
                     line as shown in the following examples:
                   The *Modern Dairy Corp   (will sort by MODER)
                   John *Williams, Sr.      (will sort by WILLI)
                         Best Burgers *10150      (will sort by 10150,
                                              but 10150 will not
                                           print.)

           ADD1:     This line can be blank, or filled in with anything
                     You like.

           ADD2:     This line can be blank, or filled in with anything
                     you like (see note about Zip Code in next line).

           ADD3:     This line can be filled in with anything you like,
                     or blank if the line above it was filled in.  The
                     last item typed on this line will be taken to be the
                     Zip Code, unless this line is blank, in which case
                     the preceding line will be searched for a Zip Code.

           DEAR:     Type in the way you would like this person to be
                     addressed in a personalized form letter.  Include
                     Titles such as Ms./Mr., etc. if you wish them to
                     print in the letter.  If the letter is addressed to
                     just a company in general, I suggest "Gentlemen" for
                     This line.

          PHONE:     Type in anything you wish, the title "Phone" is only
                     a suggestion of what you might want to use this line
                     for.

         MISC 1:     Use for anything you want - no restrictions.

         MISC 2:     You bet, another line for anything you want.

           CODE:     The "Code" you type in for a particular name can
                     later be used during printing to select only names
                     with a matching code.  For example, you could code
                     each name with a number or letter when entering the
                     names, then later when printing Labels or Letters
                     select only names with certain codes. The code may
                     be up to 4 letters/numbers long.

  FUNCTION KEY USE WHILE EDITING


  (F1)  ADD NEW NAME(s)

  Push this key whenever you want to add one or more names to a file that
  you are currently editing.  As soon as you press this key the NAME
  EDITING AREA will be cleared, and you can start typing in the new name.
  When you reach the end of the entries for this name, the screen will
  clear again and you can start entering another name.

  When you are finished entering names, press the (Esc) key to return to
  the Menu, or use (F4) to search for another name already in the file.

       NOTE:  When you CREATE A NEW FILE you are automatically placed
              into the "Adding Names" mode of operation.


  (F2)  DUPLICATE

  Sometimes when entering a series of names parts of the address or other
  information entered will be the same from one name to the next.
  Pressing (F2) on any line will duplicate the information to this name
  that was shown for the name just previously viewed.


  (F3)  DELETE NAME

  If you want to permanently remove a name from the file, then this is
  the key to press.  But just in case you tap (F3) by accident, you will
  be asked to confirm each deletion with a Y/N response.


  (F4)  SEARCH FOR NAME

  To quickly find a particular name in a file, press (F4) then type in
  the -LAST NAME- of the person to search for. Note that only the first 5
  characters are significant in the search.  If multiple names are found
  that match up to these 5 letters, the program will let you know.


  (F5)  PRINT RECORD

  Whenever you need a quick printout of the record just as it's displayed
  on the screen, press the (F5) key.

           NOTE: Be sure your printer is "ON-LINE".


  (Esc)  DONE EDITING

  When You're finished editing, press (Esc) to get back to the Primary Menu.
  You can also use this key anywhere else in the program to cancel something
  you have started.

                                V.  PRIMARY MENU

  The Primary Menu contains the LnL features you will most often use.  The
  following is a brief description of the Primary Menu choices.


  D - DISPLAY ALL DISK FILES

  Press (D) then the letter of the Drive you wish to see a list of files
  for.


  R - RETRIEVE EXISTING DISK FILE

  Before you can edit the Names in a File stored on the Disk, you must
  RETRIEVE the File, (which will cause special Indexing information to be
  loaded), then use the (E) - Edit choice from the menu.


  S - STORE FILE NOW EDITING

  When you are entering or editing names, the information you are typing
  in is continually being written to disk.  However, the 'Index' for all
  of this information is not being constantly updated.  Therefore:

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
    *  It is very Important you STORE each file after working on it.  *
    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


  E - EDIT FILE CURRENTLY LOADED

  After RETRIEVING a Name file you can edit the names by selecting the
  (E) option from the Primary Menu.  Details on Editing can be found
  back in Section IV (starting on page #4).


  C - CREATE NEW FILE

  Before you can enter any names you must CREATE a file to put them into.


  M - MAILING LABELS

  This option can be used to print either Mailing Labels or a detailed
  listing of all the information in each name record.  More information
  on Mailing Labels can be found elsewhere in this guide.


  F - FORM LETTERS

  This option lets oyu print Form Letters based on a letter you have
  previously prepared.  More information on Form Letters can be found
  elsewhere in this guide.

                                   (continued)


  Q - QUICK GUIDE

  Selecting this option will print a Quick Guide.  Since you have this
  guide already you probably won't need this option again, except to
  make a Quick Guide for someone you're passing the software on to.


  A - ADVANCED FEATURES

  This option brings up the Advanced Features Menu which is discussed in a
  later section of this guide.


  X - EXIT PROGRAM

  Always use this choice to finish your work with the LETTER n LABELS
  program.  Although it can be tempting to just pull the diskettes out and
  turn the computer off, doing so can cause a loss of your valuable work.

                  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
                  *   Avoid problems - always exit with (X)!  *

                             PRINTING MAILING LABELS


  Select (M) from the Primary Menu, then fill in each of the entries below:

  FILE W/NAMES:      If you had already retrieved or been editing a file,
                     then that Filename will be shown.  If this is the
                     file with the names you want Labels for, then press
                     just the (return) key.

                     If no Filename is shown, or you wish to print Names
                     from a different file, then type in the Filename you
                     want.  (Use Backspace to change the Drive Designator
                     if needed.)


  USE ALL NAMES:     If you respond (Y) (return) then all of the names in
                     the file will be printed.  If you wish to print only
                     a portion of the file, then you should respond with
                     (N) (return) and then follow the directions shown in
                     the bottom box.  Further details on selecting names
                     can be found on the page titled "SELECTING
                     PARTS OF A FILE".


  ZIP CODE ORDER:    If you're sending out a lot of Labels at once, then
                     the Post Office folks will sure appreciate your
                     responding (Y) and (return) to this question.

                     On the other hand, if you need to be able to find
                     particular Labels quickly once they're printed, then
                     you may wish to respond with (N) and (return) so
                     that the Labels will be printed in ALPHABETICAL
                     order.


  LINES TO USE:      Over yonder in the NAME EDITING AREA the lines are
                     now numbered from 1 to 9.  You may select any or all
                     of the lines for printing, in any order desired, and
                     may even repeat a line more than once if you like.

                     You can leave a blank line between other lines by
                     placing a zero among the other numbers (Example:
                     10234).

                     Or, you can type LISTING instead of a series of
                     numbers, and you will get a report type Listing of
                     all the information for each name selected.


  NUMBER OF SETS:    If you would like multiple sets of the Names
                     selected, then enter the number here.  This can be
                     particularily useful when you are printing just one
                     name (or perhaps Product Labels) and want to have a
                     whole bunch of the Labels available whenever you
                     need them.

                             PRINTING MAILING LABELS
                                    (continued)


  LABEL spacing:

            H -Height

            You can calculate this number by measuring in inches the
            distance form the top of one label to the top of the next,
            and then multiplying the number of inches by the number of
            lines your printer prints per inch (normally 6 lines per
            inch).  The number entered can range from 3 to 18.

            a -Across

            This is the number of columns of labels on each page.  The
            number entered can range from 1 to 4.

            W - Width

            If you told LETTERS n LABELS you are using more than 1 column
            of labels, you will need to enter the number of print positions
            from the left edge of one label to the left edge of the next.


  MARGIN OFFSET:     If you wish to indent the printing of the Labels,
                     then enter a number between 1 and 60 to indicate how
                     far over printing should begin from the normal left
                     margin of the printer.  On most printers, each inch
                     will equal an offset of about 10.



  After all of the above entries have been made, a "PRINTING MENU" will
  be displayed to guide you through the actual printing of the labels.

           REMEMBER:  Press the (Esc) key anytime to jump out of
                      the operation you are performing.

                              PRINTING FORM LETTERS


  The Form Letter process works by Filling-in-the-BLANKS of another file
  (the letter) you have created with your own Word Processing program.
  This file must be either an ASCII file-format, or a print-file format
  which may contain printer control codes. The file must have the word
  "BLANK" interspersed in the text of the letter wherever you wish to
  have this program insert a line of information from the Name file.

  You can also have the date filled in by putting the word "DATE" in the
  letter in the desired location.

  A sample letter of this type is contained on your disk called "WOODBOX"
  and you are encouraged to try it in conjunction with the name file
  "CHIMNEY" to produce a few form letters.  For your reference, here is
  a look at the beginning of the file "WOODBOX".

  And now on to the details of Printing Form Letters.

  Select (F) from the Primary Menu, then fill in each of the entries below:

  FILE W/NAMES:      If you had already retrieved or been editing a file,
                     then that Filename will be shown.  If this is the
                     file with the names you want Letters for, then press
                     just the (return) key.

                     If no Filename is shown, or you wish to print Names
                     from a different file, then type in the Filename you
                     want.  (Use Backspace to change the Drive Designator
                     if needed.)


  USE ALL NAMES:     If you respond (Y) (return) then all of the names in
                     the file will be printed.  If you wish to print only
                     a portion of the file, then you should respond with
                     (N) (return) and then follow the directions shown in
                     the bottom box.  Further details on selecting names
                     can be found on the page titled "VIII. SELECTING
                     PARTS OF A FILE".

                              PRINTING FORM LETTERS
                                   (continued)


  ZIP CODE ORDER:    If you're sending out a lot of Letters at once, then
                     the Post Office folks will sure appreciate your
                     responding (Y) and (return) to this question.

                     On the other hand, if you need to be able to find
                     particular Letters quickly once they're printed,
                     then you may wish to respond with (N) and (return)
                     so that the Letters will be printed in ALPHABETICAL
                     order.


  LINES TO USE:      Over yonder in the NAME EDITING AREA the lines are
                     now numbered from 1 to 9.  You must select the lines
                     that are to be substituted for the word "BLANK" in
                     the letter that will be specified in the next
                     question.  For a letter this would typically be
                     "12345" but may vary depending on how many "BLANK"(s)
                     you have in your letter.

                     You may Not enter "0" for a line number when
                     specifying the Lines To Use in a Form Letter.


  FILE W/LETTER:     The letter you wish to have filled in must reside on
                     the same disk with the names, and must have the word
                     "BLANK" (all uppercase) placed in it wherever you
                     want unique information from the file printed into
                     it.

                     As soon as you type in the Filename, that file will
                     be checked to verify that the number of "BLANK"(s)
                     contained in the letter matches the total number of
                     Lines To Use.  If it does not, the program will
                     display the difference, and allow you to change the
                     Lines To Use.

                     HINT: Print the file "WOODBOX" on your disk for a
                     sample of how to set up your letter for use by LnL.


  MARGIN OFFSET:     Your letter will be printed exactly in the format it
                     was stored in by your Word Processor, including any
                     leading spaces (indention) on each line.

                     If you wish to shift the printing of the letter
                     further to the right, then you may enter a number
                     here which will add additional spacing to the left
                     side of the letter.


  After all of the above entries have been made, a "PRINTING MENU" will
  be displayed to guide you through the printing of the Letters.

           REMEMBER:  Press the (Esc) or (Esc) key anytime to abort
                      the operation you are performing.

                          VI. SELECTING PARTS OF A FILE



  If you do not wish to use every name in a file when making Labels,
  Form Letters, or Writing Names to a New File, you can easily do so
  by responding (N) and (return) to the question "Use All Names".

  As soon as you enter (N) and (return) a set of brief instructions and
  list of choices will appear at the bottom of the screen on the right.
  Each of the methods is selected by pressing the letter shown.

     NOTE: If you select certain names, these names stay selected until
           you are done working with this file.  This can be useful if
           you are printing Letters and Labels and want them both done
           for the same selected names.

           If you want to start completely over in selecting names, then
           use the (K - CLEAR ALL) option to clear all selections.


   A - ALL           This option will "select" all the records for
                     printing.  After doing this, you may wish to use the
                     "M - MANUALLY" option below to go through the file
                     and De-select one or more of the names, but print
                     the rest.

   Z - BY ZIP        You can break your Mailings down by Geographical
                     area by selecting only names with Zip Codes falling
                     within certain numbers.  Check with the Post Office
                     for a map showing what Zip Codes are assigned to
                     each State.

   C - BY CODE       Using this option you can select records which have
                     a certain code, or fall within a range of codes (for
                     example 1000 to 1999, or A to C, or AAAA to FFFF).

   M - MANUALLY      This option will let you Select and De-select which
                     names you want to print, one name at a time.  You
                     can also edit the names, and even add new names
                     while you are doing this.

   K - CLEAR ALL     If you goofed in selecting the names and got too
                     many, you can begin from scratch with this option,
                     or you could use the "M - MANUALLY" option to
                     De-Select just certain names.

   X - EXIT          When you're done selecting, press (X) to head back
                     to the other Set-Up entries.  NOTE:  You can also
                     press (return) to head back to the Set-up entries.

                           VII. ADVANCED FEATURES MENU


  The Advanced Features Menu contains the following functions, not normally
  required to use LETTER n LABELS.  They have been placed in a separate menu
  to avoid cluttering up the Primary Menu.  To access the Advanced Features
  Menu you need to select the (A) option of the Primary Menu.


  R - READ NAMES IN FROM ANOTHER FILE

  You can read names in from another file into the file currently loaded by
  selecting the (R) option from the Advanced Features Menu.  Files to be
  read in must either be in ASCII format or in LETTERS n LABELS format
  (other Name Files).  The following options must then be filled in:

            FILE TO READ:   This is the name of the ASCII or LETTER n Labels
                            file that is to be read in.

            ASCII or LnL:   You need to tell LETTERS n LABELS which type of
                            file is being read in.  For ASCII files, each
                            item must be enclosed in quotes and separated by
                            commas.  Each record must end with a carriage
                            return and a line feed, for example:

                            "Jake's Chimney Sweepin","1003 West Donovan",
                            "Klonderike, VT 10030",(cr)(lf)

            LOAD INTO LINES: Over yonder in the Name Editing Area the lines
                            are now numbered from 1 to 9.  You may select
                            any or all of the lines to be loaded into, in
                            any order desired.  A 0 (zero) in the LOADED
                            INTO LINES will cause the item in the file
                            being read in to be skipped.


  W - WRITE NAMES TO NEW FILE

  You can write out all or part of the currently loaded file to a new file
  by selecting the (W) option from the Advanced Features Menu.  The new file
  may be in LETTER n LABELS format or in ASCII format for use by other
  programs.  The following options must then be filled in:


            NAME FOR NEW FILE: Type in the name to be given to the file
                            being written.  The filename cannot already
                            exist on the specified drive.

            ASCII OR LnL:   Select whether you want the file written in
                            ASCII format, to be used by other programs, or
                            LETTERS n LABELS format, only usable by the
                            LETTERS n LABELS program.

            USE ALL NAMES:  If you respond (Y) then all of the names in the
                            file will be written.  If you wish to use only a
                            portion of the file, then you should respond (N)
                            and the follow the directions shown in the
                            bottom box of the screen.  Details on selecting
                            names can be found in the section titled
                            "SELECTING PARTS OF A FILE".

                                    Page #13

                                   


  W - WRITE NAMES TO NEW FILE
  (continued)

            LINES TO WRITE: Over yonder in the Name Editing Area the lines
                            are now numbered from 1 to 9.  You must select
                            the lines that are to be written to the new file
                            by typing in the line numbers (typically 12346).

            DELETE AFTER:   If you want the records chosen to be DELETED
                            from the LETTERS n LABELS file presently loaded
                            just after the new file has been created answer
                            (Y) and (Return).


  F - FIX FILE-INDEX

  This option "FIXES" the index of a LETERS n LABELS Names file if it
  becomes disorganized due to some error or is not sorted in alphabetical
  order.  Errors can be caused by many sources but the most common error is
  caused by ending program execution by turning off the computer instead of
  exiting by way of the (X) option in the Primary Menu.


  C - CHANGE SCREEN COLORS

  If you wish to change the text and background colors, you may do so by
  selecting the (C) option.


  B - BEEPING ON & OFF

  If you are working in a quiet area, or just don't care for warning beeps,
  then pressing this key will alternately turn the beeps On and Off.  The
  change that just took place will be displayed at the bottom of the Menu
  for a few seconds after you make this choice.


  D - DISPLAY DISK FILES

  Use this choice to see a directory of the files on any diskette while
  using the LETTERS n LABELS program.  This works the same as the (D) option
  in the Primary Menu.


  N - RENAME DISK FILE

  This choice will let you do the same thing as the DOS RENAME command but
  in a more guided manner.


  Z - DELETE DISK FILE

  This choice will let you DELETE (ERASE) a disk file without leaving the
  program.  This may be useful when you need more disk space while running
  the program, and don't wish to discontinue use of the program.


  P - EXIT TO PRIMARY MENU

  Pressing (P) will get you back to the Primary Menu.
