      ========================  Pro~Stamp in Brief ========================

         Pro~Stamp is a full-featured, easy-to-use program to help you
         manage stamp collections.


          * It'll handle very large collections, or small ones.
            - And you can use different "worksheets" to track different
              sets of stamps.  Use separate worksheets for different
              countries, types, values, your kids, or ???

            - Finally, each worksheets may contain up to 3000 stamps!


          * Pro~Stamp is extremely easy to use.
            - Pull-down menus speed you through most things.

            - It "looks, feels and works" like the popular spreadsheets.
              If you're not familiar with spreadsheets, not to worry. If
              you can type and press the Alt key, you're half way there.

            - When you need help, just press alt-H or F1 and choose a topic.


          * Pro~Stamp automatically calculates values for you.
            - Add a stamp, change it's market value or change the number
              you have and Pro~Stamp automatically calculates its Current
              Market Value and how much its value increased over the
              purchase price.

            - Press F9 and Pro~Stamp shows both the Market Value of your
              entire collection and Total Purchase Price (what you've
              invested).


          * Sort collections on Type of stamp, Condition, Number Owned,
            Market Value, Purchase Price, Scott Number, Country, etc.
            - Then save it, print it, or sort it by some other factor.


          * Enter "Type" and "Condition" from menus (using standard
            terms) or enter any text you want.


          * Pro~Stamp offers many print options.  Print your entire
            collection, a range, or "missing" stamps.


          * Pro~Stamp offers you options to customize it your way.
            - Type and Condition menus each have 3 fields you can edit.

            - 3 different printer options.  Edit any or all of them,
              then select the one you want to use with the press of a key.

            - You can save these options in a Master File, save them
              only in the file you're working on, or both, or neither.
                                                                            
     =====================  Pro~Stamp's "Look & Feel" =====================

     Pro~Stamp is fast, friendly and colorful.  We can't show you that color
     here, but below are some "snapshots" of Pro~Stamp's main screens.

       * Notice the Main Menu at the top.  Press Alt-F (File) to load or save
         worksheets, Alt-T to enter the "Type" of stamp from a menu, etc.

       * Below the main menu you can see "4 pages" of information.
         -  Page 1 (Catalog/Scott number and Description) are always
            visible -- so you always know what you're looking at.
         -  The other pages contain columns of information you can enter.
            Each column is "optional" -- enter the information YOU want.

       * Press F9 and Pro~Stamp calculates the Market Value of your collec-
         tion and the total Purchase Price, and shows it on the last line.
