F1  Display these screens                   F4   Execute DOS command
F2  Edit menu title,items, and set          F8   Set up configuration data
    number of columns for menu display.
F3  Use current menu.


PROGRAM STATUS LINE:
    There are two help lines located at the bottom of your screen.  These
inform you of the function key (<F1> - <F10>) definitions.



F2  EDIT:
    The editor allows you to enter and edit menu items.  The editor features
include move, delete, insert, and undo last move, delete, and insert
command. There is a maximum of 16 items you can edit per menu.  The editor
also can display your menu for a quick visual check.  This 'test' mode also
allows you to set up the number of columns for your menu.



F3  USE MENU:
    This function returns you to the current menu.  You can now select items
from the menu and execute them (i.e. run the program).  The only caveat is
your edits to the menu items will be lost unless you save them either when
you exit the editor or by using the F5 Save/Load function from within the
editor.


F8  CONFIGURATION:
    This function allows you to set up the drive:\directory for the MenuEase
files required for program operation. You also can set an optional password
for the maintenance section (you're in it now) and DOS access.  It also
allows you to change colors/attributes for your screen.


Exit MenuEase:
You must return to the Menu screen to exit; type <F3> then <F10>.




                       CUSTOMIZING ON-LINE HELP FILES

MenuEase allows you to customize the help files to your needs.  The files
that are referenced are listed below.  On the right side of the '=' (equals
sign) are the file  names that are referenced.

      main user menu   = qm_show.hlp
      maintenance      = qm_main.hlp (the file your looking at now)
      editor           = qm_editi.hlp
      editor exit      = qm_edtex.hlp (@ Save Edits? yes/no requester)
      dos/sys commands = qm_sysc.hlp
      jam keyboard     = qm_jam.hlp
      menu title       = qm_title.hlp
      configuration    = qm_cnfg.hlp
      registration     = qm_rgstr.hlp


Each file can be up to 300 lines long (approx. 15 screens long).  All other
pages will discarded.  You can use a simple wordstar editor that produces
ASCII text. All characters outside the normal ASCII bounds will be displayed
as IBM graphic characters.    Set the following for your word processor:

      margins delta = 76 characters max.
      left margin   = 0
      top margin    = 0
      bottom margin = 0

The help display routine will position the text within a 76 character
window; all extra text ( > 80 characters) will not be shown for the line.
Remember to export your word processors output to ASCII for a help file,
else you may read different amounts of garbage along with your text.
