<How to use Help>
How to use HELP:
---------------
    Context-sensitive help is available from practically any
    point in the program when you press F-1. The help information
    displayed will be related to the area of the program you are
    working in when the help is called. (When calling Help from
    the Main Menu, you view this Help screen information first.)
    You can scroll through the Help information by:
         1)  Using the Up & Down cursor keys.
         2)  Using the mouse (place the pointer to the top or
             bottom of the vertical scrollbar on the right side
             of the screen and press left mouse button).
         3)  Using the PageUp or PageDown keys to move a page at
             a time or using Ctrl & PageUp or Ctrl & PageDown to
             move to the top or bottom of the file.

    Notice that the above actions move the scrolling horizonal
    bar up and down through the list (or text) areas.

         To select a different help area:
         1) Press Alt & S to view all the SECTIONS available for
            this program (or place the mouse pointer on the
            Sections button and double click the left mouse
            button.)   Move the scrolling highlight bar as
            explained above.  When the desired Section is
            highlighted by the bar, press ENTER (or double click
            the left mouse button, with the pointer on the
            highlight bar) to select it.
         2) Press Alt & T to view all the TOPICS available in the
            currently selected Section (or point and double click
            the mouse on the Topics button). Move the highlight
            bar to the desired topic and select in the same
            manner as for the sections.

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

<General Program Information>
General Information:
-------------------
    Family Medical History requires a color monitor and DOS 3.3 or
    better.   It will run with 400K but is very slow.    The
    recommended minimum is 512K.  Your Config.sys file should call
    for a minimum of Files = 30 and Buffers = 20.
              A Microsoft-compatible mouse is optional.
              A printer is optional. ( All print routines were
    designed for standard 8.5x11 tractor feed paper and have
    been tested on a Panasonic 1124 dot matrix printer set to
    Epson LQ-2500 mode.  They MAY work on a laser or a single
    sheet feed printer, but are not guaranteed.)  If your printer
    is not on line when you attempt a print routine, you will
    receive an error message and must correct the problem or
    abort the print request.

    Most program options are selected using push buttons.  These
    buttons are normally blue with gray lettering.  When selected
    the buttons change to red with gray lettering. (The Exit or
    Escape button is red with yellow lettering and is always
    located in the lower right hand corner of the current screen.
    When selected, this button changes to white lettering on the
    red background.)  When any option is NOT available, the button
    will change to blue with very dark gray lettering and that
    option can not be selected.  Options can be selected in
    several different ways:
         1)  Place the mouse pointer on the desired button and
             double click the left mouse button.
         2)  Use the cursor (arrow) keys to cycle through the
             option choices until the desired option button
             changes to red.  Then press ENTER.
         3)  Use the "Hot Key".  Many option buttons will also
             have a specified hot key.
             a) On some buttons the Hot Key is a single letter
                which is highlighted in bright white.  Press the
                designated letter and the ALT key together to
                select the option.
             b) Other buttons will name a specific key.  Press
                the named key to perform the desired option. Some
                of these special hot keys are:
                1)  the ESCape key: to exit or cancel.
                2)  the INSert key: used to ADD a new record.
                3)  the DELete key: used to DELETE a record.
                4)  the F-1 key: used for on-line help.
                5)  the F-5 key: used for some printing.
                6)  the F-10 key: used to complete a form.

                or tab keys on an empty field. This will popup the
                family member lookup table and you can select the
                correct family member by highlighting it with the
                scrolling bar and pressing ENTER to import the
                identification number to the Medical History
                Information Form.  If the correct family member is

<<Shareware and Registration>>
<What is Shareware?>
What is Shareware?
-----------------
    Shareware is a marketing method which allows computer users
    to try a program BEFORE they buy it.  If the user likes the
    program AND continues to use it beyond a specified period of
    time, he/she is obligated to register the use of that program
    with the author.    Since the Shareware registration fees are
    usually small in contrast to comparable commercial offerings,
    the software user can receive quality computer programs at a
    reasonable cost.  These registration fees also support the
    program authors and encourage them to produce more and better
    quality products. If, on the other hand, the user doesn't like
    the Shareware program or does not continue using the program,
    he/she simply deletes it and pays nothing!

    Family Medical History is distributed as Shareware.  It is
    not free!.   You are granted a limited license to use this
    program for a 21 day period for evaluation purposes.  If you
    continue to use Family Medical History beyond the evaluation
    period, you are expected to register your use of the program.

    You may freely copy and distribute the Shareware version of
    Family Medical History, PROVIDED that the program is not
    modified in any way and is kept in its original form with all
    files intact.  The files included with the Shareware version
    are: FMH.EXE, FMH.HLP, FMH.TXT, MEDCATEG.DAT, & MEDCATEG.K01.
    The file names created when you run the program are:
    MEDHISTO.* & MEDPERSO.*

    You may NOT copy and distribute the registered versions of
    Family Medical History.

    Some medical conditions are hereditary, while other conditions
    seem to run more in some families than others. Family Hereditary
    History (a bonus included with the deluxe registrations only)
    lets you keep a record of your family's hereditary conditions
    and diseases.

<Product Registration>

               latest version of the program. The only difference
