                           HINTS AND TIPS

When you start WISDOM OF THE AGES, the first screen that will appear
is the Quick Start Menu dialog.  Select the "Memo" pushbutton.  You'll
see it in the lower right hand corner of the dialog.  It has the
caption "Hints and Tips."  It'll put you into the help system and give
you a brief summary of useful program information.

                      ----------------------

Quote-A-Day is an optional feature that enables you to start every 
Windows session with an inspirational quote.

Here's how it works:  Windows has a StartUp group.  Each time Windows 
starts it will automatically run the program(s) in its StartUp group.  
We've added a command switch, "D" for Daily, to WISDOM that takes 
advantage of this feature.  

When you start WISDOM with the D command switch, all the opening 
screens are bypassed.  Your quote, selected by Quote-A-Day, will be 
the first thing you see.  When you're done reading it, you can 
select the Exit command to immediately end the program or you can 
take some other action.

All you have to do to activate this feature is copy the program 
icon to your StartUp group, and then add the D command switch to 
the Program Item Properties' Command Line as follows:

Change:       C:\WISDOM24\WIS
To:           C:\WISDOM24\WIS D

Detailed instructions are as follows:

1. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | Wisdom of the Ages.
2. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | StartUp.
   (Both groups should now be open on your Desktop.  You may want 
    to move one group so you can see both of them.)
3. Press and hold down <CTRL> while you drag the Wisdom icon from 
   the Wisdom of the Ages window to the StartUp window.  (Notice 
   how the mouse pointer becomes a replica of the Wisdom icon.)
4. When the Wisdom icon is in the StartUp group window release both the
   mouse button and the <CTRL> key.
5. From Program Manager's Main Menu select File | Properties and
   the Program Item Properties dialog appears.
6. Press the <TAB> key once to move to the "Command Line."
7. Press the <END> key once to move to the end of the "Command Line."
8. Press the <SpaceBar> once and then type the letter D.
9. Click the OK button.  

Quote-A-Day should now be enabled.  It'll take effect the very next 
time you start Windows.

If you're a new Windows user, we'll just mention that green text 
in a Windows' help system designates a hypertext link.  That means that 
more, or related, information is available on that subject.  You can 
access it by positioning your mouse pointer on the green text and 
clicking your left mouse button.
