      As soon as the program is loaded, the cursor will go to "Name:"
      You may enter one or more names at this location as space permits.
      Pressing ENTER takes you to "Location:"  Again, enter as much 
      information as space permits.  When you press ENTER, "Departed 
      at:" will automatically indicate the current time based on the 
      system clock.  Press ENTER for "Will return at:" and  enter the 
      time in any format you desire.  Press ENTER for, "Can be reached 
      at:"  You may enter a telephone, extension, pager number or 
      whatever.
      
      At this point the program will set there waiting for someone to 
      come along and press L to leave a message.  The cursor will then 
      jump to "Message left by:" and the date and time will be entered 
      automatically based on the system clock.  After a name is entered, 
      pressing ENTER will take the cursor to the message area.  A prompt 
      will also appear at the bottom left side of the message area 
      saying "You must complete the entry".  This means after typing the 
      message, you must press ENTER to get to the bottom of the message 
      block.  The cursor keys are not activated.  You may use the 
      backspace key (destructive) to make corrections.  If you backspace 
      to the beginning of the line, the cursor will go to the previous 
      line.  The program will allow you to backspace all the way out of 
      the message mode with no message being recorded.
      
      When the message is completed and you press ENTER to reach the 
      bottom of the block, a prompt will appear asking "Is this correct 
      (Y/N)?"  If not the entire message may be redone, if correct this 
      message will be recorded and the indicator will show 1 message in 
      the que.  The last message always stays on the screen.  It only 
      blanks out when someone presses L to enter another message.
      
      When you as the computer owner/operator return, you should press M 
      for the Private menu.  You will be ask for a password, the present 
      password is MESSAGE (all caps) but this can be changed after 
      getting to the private menu area.
      
      The private menu area allows you to <R>ead, <Delete or <P>rint 
      messages.  (Print a message is done with the print screen keys).  
      You may also <C>hange your password, <S>tart over or <Q>uit.  If 
      you elect to quit, all messages are deleted after a warning that 
      this is going to happen.
      
      Thanks for giving my program a try.  I have many other very 
      reasonably priced utility programs in my inventory.  Drop me a 
      note and I'll send you a price list.
