        The File Menu

        The File Menu has the basic file commands.  New allows you to start
        a new document.  Open lets you open a file on disk.  Save and Save As
        let you save the file on the disk.  Print prints the text to the 
        printer.  And exit quits the notepad and returns to DOS.

        The Edit Menu 

        The Edit Menu also has the basic editing commands.  Cut is used to
        cut out the selected area and place it onto the clipboard.  Copy
        places a copy of the selected area onto the clipboard.  Paste places
        the contents of the clipboard into your document.  Delete clears the
        selected area.  Select All highlights your whole document for
        editing.  The clipboard retains its contents until notepad is exited 
        or the text on the clipboard is replaced with other text.  The Add
        and print clipboard features are only in the registered version.  The
        add option adds the selected text to the clipboard without erasing 
        the contents of the clipboard.  The print clipboard option prints the
        contents of the clipboard to the printer.

        The Search Menu

        The Search Menu has three useful options to help you find and change 
        certain text in your document.  The find option asks you for 
        text to find then highlights the text if the text was found.  The 
        repeat last find option does the same thing only it does not ask 
        you for text, it searches for the text you entered previously.  The
        change option allows you to change certain occurrences of text with
        other text. The registered version has the Change All and Find and
        Verify options.

        The Options Menu

        The Options Menu allows you to change the background and foreground
        color of the text box.  All you have to do is enter the name of the
        color you want and press enter.  The date and time commands tell you 
        the date and time.
        The registered Version allows you to change the color of all the 
        windows.

        another document.  The cascade command overlaps all the windows 
        leaving the title bar of each one visible.  The tile option makes
