DocuFile will take any standard text file and create a basic program to
display the text file. This allows you to create help screens from your
favorite text editor and then add all the PRINT statements automatically.
This is beneficial for two reasons. 1 - if you need to insert portions of text
you do so with your text editor and then regenerate the help screens with  
DocuFile. 2 - all the prompts for next page and previous page are added
wherever you indicate a page break.

The source text file is the word processing file that you are going to
convert to Basic language file code for purposes of generating easy
to use help screens that may be called from Basic applications.             

Enter the file name with a disk drive letter if it does not reside on
the drive you are currently defaulted to. For Example [B:TEXTFILE.EXT].

The source text file must be a standard ASCII file and must not contain
special control characters single or double quotation marks asemi colons
or commas! If you must have commas or special punctuation in the help
screen add it after DocuFile has created the help screen program.

The destination help screen is the Basic program file that will contain the 
text from your source file converted into Basic source code. This file 
should be named as the help program you will be running from your Basic
application program.

Enter the file name with a disk drive letter if it will not reside on
the drive you are currently defaulted to. For example [B:DESTFILE.BAS].

The output code file will be generated with Basic PRINT statements and
may be executed from any Basic application as a subroutine. The program        
generated will contain RETURN statements on every page and at the end of
the entire subroutine to facilitate use with other programs and appli-
cations without modifications. If you need to run the help screen as a free
standing program simply replace all RETURN statements with SYSTEM statements.

The AutoPage function automatically places pause/continue prompts wherever
an [*] is found in the document text file. The asterix [*] must be in the 
first column of any line in the text file. When used a prompt will appear
when the listing reaches that point and three options will be offered. 

(N)ext page (P)revious Page or C)ancel

If you choose not to have AutoPage enter these features for you may
place such prompts as you desire using whatever text editor is available.
This may be necessary if you want to chain to other programs from a help
screen.

AutoPage will RETURN program control to where it was called from with the
RETURN statement.
