                                     Introduction

          Calling Cards does more than simply remember your names, addresses 
          and phone numbers.  It allows you to look up categories of people, 
          places or things.
          
          For example, if you need a plumber but can't recall a name or find 
          the person's business card, let Calling Cards find it for you.  If 
          you're having trouble trying to decide where to wine and dine 
          tonight, ask Calling Cards.  Need a doctor quickly?  This program 
          can help you find your personal physician fast.  Are you sending 
          out a lot of holiday cards?  Or maybe you want to mail a product 
          brochure to your clients?  Have Calling Cards run off mailing 
          labels for you.  You can address envelopes and even make labels for
          file folders, floppy disks, and your kids' school books.

          In Calling Cards you not only enter a person's name, address and 
          phone number, but also any business card data such as services 
          provided (choose one from the Quickey list or manually enter your 
          own description).  You can tag each record to put it on one or both 
          mailing label lists, and you can include a memo to remind you about 
          anything special that pertains to the entry.

          Don't just include the ordinary names, addresses and services.  Be
          sure to enter your favorite baby-sitters (include their fees on the
          Memo line), your favorite restaurants (you might want to make a 
          note about their best entrees as well as whether reservations are 
          required), and your racquetball or tennis partners (make a note 
          about who is free at what time).  Don't worry about lack of space
          on the Memo line, it scrolls, allowing almost 70 spaces for your
          message.
          ____________________________________________________________________

                                     Getting Started

          Entering card information.
          You should enter your own name and address so you can print it as 
          a return address when you need to print an envelope.  To do that, 
          press <4> in the Options Window.  Calling Cards will move your 
          cursor to the Working Window where you create your new record.
          
          Names are entered as Last name first, comma, then First name and 
          Middle initial/name. Enter your name, address, phone numbers, and 
          even a memo if you want.  You'll probably want to skip the Label 
          fields on your own record, so just press <enter> when you come to 
          those two fields.  The same is true of the Service field for your 
          record, too.

          Now add some friends.  Enter the data the same way you did for your 
          own record until you come to the Label fields.  The first is called 
          Holiday and the second Other.  If you want to put a friend on your 
          holiday card list, press any key but <enter> or <spacebar> and an 
          "X" will appear in that field.  If this friend is also a client or 
          falls into some other category you want to maintain, press any key 
          but <enter> or <spacebar> when in the Other field and an "X" will 
          appear there as well.  You can put a record in both categories, if
          you choose.

          After you've entered your trial records, you can print either your
          Holiday label field records or your Other field records.  Read the
          section entitled "Option # 3, Printing Labels" below for details.
          And don't forget to read the Extended Processing Section.  It shows
          you how to address envelopes with Calling Cards, too.

          Finally, enter several records for a professional group, like your
          doctor, lawyer, or even your favorite restaurants.  Don't forget to
          include their Service category on each record.  Refer to the 
          Viewing Window for the services offered.  To put a service on a 
          record, type the service's corresponding Quickey and press <enter>.  
          
          Then go back to the Options Window, press <2> to invoke the Service 
          Call function and give Calling Cards the Quickey of the service you 
          need and press <enter>.  If you've entered more than one record 
          with that service, Calling Cards will show them to you one at a 
          time.  Simply use the directional keys to peruse them.

                                   - - - - - - - - - 

          Changing a card's information.
          Invoke the Change function by pressing <5> in the Options Window.
          Calling Cards will need to know which Tab index you want to search.
          The Tab index is the first letter of the name you entered on the
          Name line.  Remember, your entries are stored much like those in a
          phone book ... in Tab sections.  Enter the Tab and Calling Cards 
          will take you to that section.  Use the directional keys to find 
          the correct record.  Then press <Y> or <enter> to select it.

          Calling Cards will display a sub-menu in the Viewing Window
          indicating which fields you can change and their associated 
          hotkeys.  Enter the appropriate hotkey and Calling Cards will erase
          the old information and wait for you to enter the new data.  If you
          inadvertently press the wrong hotkey, press <esc> and Calling Cards 
          will reinstate the old information.

          To exit the Change function, press <esc> when Calling Cards asks 
          which field you want to change.  It will then return to the Tab 
          section and ask if the displayed card is the record you want to 
          change.  If there are any more cards to change in that Tab index, 
          find the next one and select it by pressing <Y> or <enter>, 
          otherwise press <esc> to return to the Options Window.  

                                   - - - - - - - - - 

          Changing a Service category.
          Enter the backslash, <\>, in the Options Window to invoke the
          Change Quickeys function.  Calling Cards will ask "Which Quickey do
          you want to change?"  Specify the Quickey and Calling Cards will
          put your cursor under the specified Quickey's current Service and 
          await your changes.  If you press the wrong Quickey, press <esc> 
          while your cursor is in the Viewing Window, and Calling Cards will 
          resurrect the old Service category.

          When you finished making the changes you want, press <esc>.

          This will bring you to the next phase of the Change Quickey 
          function, changing the Label Field titles.  They are called Holiday
          and Other, originally.  If you don't want to change the titles now, 
          press <esc> to return to the Options Window.  If you do want to 
          change them, press <Y>.  Make the appropriate changes and press
          <esc> once more to return to the Options Window.

          Some people find that Label Field titles like "Friends" and 
          "Clients" are more descriptive.  You can name the fields anything 
          you want as long as the names are seven or fewer characters long.
          ____________________________________________________________________

                                  Program Information
          ____________________________________________________________________

          There are six processing options in the Options Window.  

                      _____________________________________________
                     |                Choice:  _                   |
                     |    1  Directory               4  Add        |
                     |    2  Service Call            5  Change     |
                     |    3  Print Labels            6  Delete     |
                     |_____________________________________________|


          Options one through three allow you to use your file once it has 
          been created.  Options four through six let you create and modify 
          your calling card file.  

          There are numerous EPO's available in Calling Cards.  They are 
          defined in the section called Extended Processing Options.
          ____________________________________________________________________

                           - Creating Your Calling Cards File -

          Option # 4, adding records.

          When creating records, you can press <esc> at any time in the 
          Working Window to return to the Options Window.  If you are in the 
          middle of creating a record and you press <esc>, that partial 
          record will not be saved.  To end an input session, press <esc> 
          when the cursor is in the Name field (the first field) of the 
          Working Window.

                                  ~ Field Definitions ~

          -Name field (30, required).

          Enter the person's or company's name and press <enter>.  [Press 
          <esc> in this field to end your data input session.]

          Personal names should be entered last name first, followed by a 
          comma, and then the first name and middle initial/name.

                          Name:  Henderson, Peter G.
               or  
                          Name:  Henderson, Peter Gaines

          
          Business names should be entered as they appear in the phone book.

          See the section entitled Name Field Examples, at the end of this 
          document, for more information and numerous examples.
                                    __________________

          -Address fields (various sizes, optional).

          The next five entries are optional.  However, if you skip both of 
          the Street fields or any one of the others (City, State, and Zip), 
          Calling Cards will consider the address unacceptable and will not 
          print a label for it using the Print Labels function.  (Note:  You 
          can still print labels and envelopes with this type of record using
          the <*> EPO.)

          The Street and City fields are each 30 characters long.  The State 
          field is 15 letters long. The Zip Code field will accept 
          alphanumeric input (letters and numbers), and it can be up to 
          twelve characters long.

          Remember:  All labels created in the Print Labels function (option 
          # 3 in the Options Window) are checked for validity.  Therefore, 
          you must enter something in one of the Street fields, and in the 
          State, City, and Zip Code fields if you want Calling Cards to print
          the label.  If you print a label using the <*> EPO, no validity 
          checks are performed.

          Hint:  When entering an address, use the Post Office's state
          abbreviations, especially when an address contains long city names 
          or when you are using full nine digit zip codes.  If you don't, you
          might have trouble fitting the city-state-zip line on a standard 
          label.

          Hint:  You can use the Name field and the Street1, Street2, and
          City fields to create useful labels for file folders, your 
          children's school books, floppy disks, your personal books, etc.
          Search on "Suggestion # 2:" for details.
                                    __________________

          -Phone number fields (max. length depends on format, optional).

          Phone numbers may be in either the standard American format of 
          (###) ###-#### (in which the parentheses are entered for you and 
          the field accepts only numbers), or in an International format that
          accepts thirty alphanumeric characters.

          You can enter a home phone number and a business phone as well.  If
          you wish to switch between the International and the American phone 
          formats, press <@>, the ampersand key, in the Options Window.  A
          reminder displayed above the Working Window (on the right side)
          tells you which format you are using.

          If you are using the American format, Calling Cards expects an area
          code followed by the standard seven digit phone number.  If you do 
          not want to enter the area code, press <spacebar> when the cursor 
          is in the first position of the area code.  You can then enter the 
          standard seven digit phone number.
          
          If you wish to skip a phone number field, press <enter> when the 
          cursor is in the first position of the area code.  If you have 
          already entered digits in one of these fields and you decide that 
          you do not want to enter the phone number after all (but you still 
          want to enter the record), press <alt> + <C> to clear the field and
          then press <enter>.

          If you hate entering parentheses in phone numbers and you need to 
          enter American phone numbers that have extensions, use the American
          format to create the record, then use the Change function to tack 
          on the extension.  This works because Change defaults to the
          International format when a phone number field has an entry.  Refer
          to the section entitled "Option # 5, changing information", below, 
          for more information.

          An even easier way to enter American numbers with extensions is to 
          use the Change function.  With the American format invoked and the 
          Phone Number field empty, Change accepts the American format.  
          Enter the regular phone number.  After you enter the final four
          digits, Change returns you to the Select Field menu, reselect the 
          same field.  Since the field now has something in it, Change will 
          automatically use the International format.  Press <end> to put the
          cursor at the end of the phone number field, and add the extension.
          After you've added the extension, press <enter>.
                                    __________________

          -Label fields (single character entry, optional).

          You can put a record on one or both of your mailing lists.  To skip 
          a Label field, press <enter> or <spacebar>.  Any other key (except 
          <esc>) will put an "X" in the fields.  An "X" in the field means 
          that the record you are creating will get a label printed (assuming 
          a complete address is on the card) when you run the Print Label 
          function (option 3 in the Options Window) for that label category.  

          If you wish to change the Label field titles (Holiday and Other), 
          refer to the Changing Quickeys EPO in the section entitled Extended
          Processing Options described at the end of this document.
                                    __________________

          -Memo field (67, optional).

          This field can be used to include the names of the children of your 
          friends, times to meet racquetball or tennis partners, dress codes 
          at your favorite restaurants, or in conjunction with your Service 
          line entries.  For example, if you have several "Doctor" entries, 
          put their specialties on the Memo line as well as date last seen.

          If you enter a Memo line longer than the field window, you'll find 
          that the message scrolls (in a marquee-like fashion) whenever you 
          use any of the viewing functions (except Change and Delete) to look
          at it.  You can control the scrolling speed by using the <^> EPO.
          [See Extended Processing Options at the end of this document.]

          You can stop the scrolling when viewing a card by pressing <home>
          once.

          If you missed the beginning of the Memo, and you don't want to wait
          for the line to scroll around again, press <home> twice to queue it 
          up.

          If you want to queue up the Memo line and stop it, press <home>
          three times.

          Press <end> to start the line scrolling again or press a 
          directional key to peruse your other cards.

          Note:  Speed scrolling (i.e., holding a directional key down while 
          in one of the viewing functions) can be impeded by lengthy memo 
          lines.
                                    __________________

          -Service field (20, optional).

          You can append a Service category to each record, if appropriate.
          Refer to the Viewing Window for the Service categories and their 
          Quickeys when it's time to make an entry in this field.  To skip 
          this field, press <enter>.

          You can also enter your own category manually by simply typing it 
          in.  If you manually enter your own category, keep the entry short.  
          This will minimize the chance of misspellings when you attempt a 
          lookup later on.  You do not have to match upper and lower case 
          letters.  "AbCd" is the same as "aBcD" is the same as "abcd".

          Note:  You can have only one Service category per calling card.

          Don't forget that you can change your Service Quickeys by entering 
          the backslash EPO in the Options Window.
                                    __________________

          Option # 5, changing information.

          If you discover that you've made an entry error, the Change 
          function makes corrections fast and easy.  You can change any 
          field.
          
          After you press <5> to start the Change function, Calling Cards 
          will ask for the Tab Index (i.e., the first letter in the Name 
          field), just as if you were looking up the name in a phone book.
          It then displays the first record in that Tab section and asks if 
          that is the record you wish to change.  If it isn't, you simply 
          flip to the correct record by using the arrow keys.  When you come 
          to the card you want to change, you can either press <Y> or <enter>
          to select it.  This starts the Change mode, where you make the 
          actual changes to the record's contents.

          At the top of the Working Window, Calling Cards displays the query 
          "-> Change which field?".  You'll find a complete list of the 
          fields in the Viewing Window with their associated hotkeys.  Enter 
          the hotkey of the field you want to change, and Calling Cards will 
          put your cursor in that field and await your corrections.
          
          If you enter the wrong hotkey, press <esc>, and Calling Cards will 
          restore the field's old contents, even if you've already typed in 
          changes.  To leave a field blank, select that field, press 
          <alt> + <C> and then press <enter>.

          Regarding phone numbers in the Change function:  If the Phone 
          Number field which you want to change is empty and the American 
          format is in effect, the American format will be used.  In all 
          other cases, the International format will be used.

          Thus, if you have an entry in the field, regardless of format, the
          International format is used.  This allows you to enter American
          formats using the Add function with considerable ease, and then
          for those few that might have extensions, you can use the Change
          function to append the extension (e.g., "x1234") to the phone 
          number that is already in the field.

          Option # 6, deleting records.

          Deleting records is even easier than changing them, so be extra 
          careful.  Calling Cards does ask for confirmation, however.
          
          Enter the Tab Index, flip to the correct card using the arrow keys 
          and tell Calling Cards that you want to delete it by pressing <Y> 
          or <enter>.
          
          Calling Cards will then ask if you're sure.  If you say yes ... by 
          pressing <Y> ... it's gone.  (Calling Cards will not accept <enter>
          for yes on this final question.)

                                 - Using Calling Cards -

          Option # 1, directory assistance.

          To find a phone number or an address, press <1> in the Options 
          Window, and enter the Tab Index of the name you want to find.
          That's the first letter of the name (generally the last name if 
          it's the name of a person) you entered in the Name field when you 
          added the card.
          
          You then use any of the directional keys or <ctrl> + <home> and 
          <ctrl> + <end> to page through that Tab section.  When you come to 
          the first or last card in that section, Calling Cards notifies you 
          that you have reached the beginning or end of that Tab index.  To 
          return to the Options Window, press <esc>.  If there is only one 
          card in the selected Tab index, Calling Cards so notifies you.

          You can print from one to 999 labels of any name and address 
          displayed in the Working Window by using the <*> EPO in the 
          Directory function.  This EPO also allows you to address an 
          envelope.
                                    __________________

          Option #2, service call.

          When you want to find a service, press <2> in the Options Window, 
          and Calling Cards will request the type of the service you want by 
          placing the cursor after the Service Field title in the Working 
          Window.  Type in the Quickey (refer to the Viewing Window), and 
          press <enter>.

                      Note:  If you are looking up a Service 
                      category that you entered manually you 
                      must spell that Service type exactly as 
                      you originally entered it.

          If there are any records in the requested service category, Calling 
          Cards displays the first.  Use the arrow keys to peruse the records
          in that service category.  Press <esc> to return to the Options 
          Window.  

          You can use the <*> EPO in the Service Call function to print from 
          one to 999 labels of the displayed name and address or to address 
          an envelope.

          Suggestion:  Regarding the Service categories, don't attempt to 
          to be too specific.  If you look at the Service types in the
          Viewing Window, for example, you'll see that the service Doctor
          is listed.  Use it for all of the doctors you enter into Calling
          Cards, regardless of their specialty.  If you enter specific
          fields, such as gynecologist, pediatrician, and so on, you will 
          defeat the purpose of the Quickey lookups.  The best way to handle
          this situation is to enter all of your doctors under the general
          service type and then put your doctors' specialties on the Memo
          line.

          You can change the Service categories to reflect your particular 
          needs by using the <\> (backslash) EPO described at the end of this
          document
                                    __________________

          Option # 3, printing labels.

          The Label function generates several listings, the first three of 
          which are mailing labels.  The last selection (D) prints out every 
          record in alphabetic order in case you need a hard copy of the 
          file.

          When you create your Calling Card records, you have the option of 
          putting a record on the first mailing list (originally called 
          Holiday), on the second mailing list (originally called Other), or 
          on both mailing lists.  When you choose <3> in the Options Window, 
          Calling Cards displays this sub-menu:

                        ________________________________    
                       |                                |
                       |        Label Categories        |
                       |                                |
                       |     A  Holiday only            |
                       |     B  Other only              |
                       |     C  Both A and B            |
                       |     D  Comprehensive           |
                       |           (all data printed)   |
                       |                                |
                       |          Choice ==> __         |
                       |                                |
                       |________________________________|


          Selection A in the Label function prints only the Holiday label 
          group; selection B prints the Other label group; and C prints out 
          both A (Holiday) and B (Other), merged together.
          
          The mailing labels should be printed on continuous form (1 Up) 
          3 1/2" x 15/16" labels such as Avery labels product # 4145.  Tandy
          also sells this very popular size (catalog # 26-248), as well as 
          numerous other companies.  If you want to use wider labels you can,
          but they must be 15/16" high.

                      Note:  The Holiday classification by no
                      means limits this label's category to 
                      holidays.  As a matter of fact, you can 
                      change the Label Field titles that appear
                      in the Working Window by using the Change
                      Quickeys function (press <\> in the Options
                      Window).

          When printing labels using this function, Calling Cards performs an 
          address verification of each name and address to be sure that every 
          field has an entry.  If a record lacks a field of critical 
          information, Calling Cards will not print that record.  The name, 
          one of the two street addresses, the city, state and zip must be 
          present, or Calling Cards will not print the label.  

          The D selection is a comprehensive listing of every card in your 
          directory.  It is not printed on labels, but on standard computer 
          printout paper.  It yields not only the names and addresses in your 
          file, but also the phone numbers, services and memo information.

          If you select A, B or C, Calling Cards will tell you to press any 
          key when you have your labels in the printer.  Be sure your printer 
          is on, and that you have labels in it before you respond.  Calling 
          Cards then displays the Print Head Alignment query asking if you 
          want to: 
          
                                   1  Test alignment 
                                   2  Skip test
                                   3  Exit function

          If you haven't set the alignment before, or if you've been running
          other print programs that required you to change the position of
          the printer's tractors, you should run the alignment test.

          When you run the alignment test, Calling Cards prints a test label 
          and asks if the alignment is okay.  If the test label fits neatly 
          on the label, press <Y> to print your real labels.  After the 
          labels have been printed you'll be returned to the Options Window.

          If the alignment is unacceptable, reply with <N>, and Calling Cards
          displays a prompt in the Viewing Window that tells you how to make 
          printer adjustments from your keyboard.
                                                 __________________________
          As you can see by the field prompt    |                          |
          shown on the right, you are allowed   |    Print Head Alignment  |
          to make vertical and horizontal       |                          |
          adjustments by pressing the spacebar  |  Press <spacebar> to     |
          key (vertical) and the left and       |  advance form one line.  |
          right arrow keys (horizontal).        |                          |
                                                |  Press <enter> to run    |
          You will also see the Tab indent      |  another test pass.      |
          displayed at the bottom of the        |                          |
          Viewing Window.  The Tab indent is    |  Use left and right      |
          initially set to zero (0), and        |  arrow keys to adjust    |
          indicates the number of columns       |  horizontal Tab.         |
          Calling Cards will tab to the right   |                          |
          (from the left side of your printer's |  Tab = 0                 |
          carriage) before it prints your       |__________________________|
          labels.  Calling Cards will increment 
          or decrement the Tab indent as you press the right and left arrow 
          keys so you'll know where the next test label will be printed.  The 
          Tab indent ranges from zero to thirty spaces.

          The vertical adjustment is immediate.  In other words, when you 
          press <spacebar>, the printer will immediately advance the label 
          forms one line.  Changes to the Tab indent, on the other hand, 
          cannot be seen until you press <enter> to print another test label.
          You will see the Tab counter, displayed at the bottom of the 
          Viewing Window, increase and decrease as you press the left and 
          right arrow keys.

          When you're ready to test the alignment again, press <enter>, and 
          Calling Cards will repeat the above process, printing out a test 
          label for you to examine.  If everything meets your approval, press 
          <Y> to print the labels.
          
          Checklists.  
          If you've ever printed labels and wished you had a checklist of 
          those labels so that you could track who responded to your 
          invitations or solicitations, you can tell Calling Cards to create 
          such a list.
          
          If you selected the A (Holiday only) category when you printed your
          labels, for example, run option 3 again.  This time select D.  You 
          will then be shown the Comprehensive field prompt in the Viewing 
          Window:

                             _______________________________
                            |                               |
                            |     Press <enter> to print    |
                            |     your records.             |
                            |                               |
                            |     Press <esc> to abort      |
                            |     this function.            |
                            |                               |
                            |     To print a checklist,     |
                            |     enter one of the          |
                            |     following EPO's:          |
                            |                               |
                            |       <!> = Holiday           |
                            |       <@> = Other             |
                            |       <#> = Both labels       |
                            |                               |
                            |_______________________________|


          Notice at the bottom of the Viewing Window the available extended
          processing options (EPO's).  If you had earlier printed labels for
          the A (Holiday) category, press <!>, the exclamation point, instead
          of pressing <enter> to start the Comprehensive print procedure and
          Calling Cards will print a checklist of the names and addresses it
          finds in the Holiday category.

          Refer to the Extended Processing Options section at the end of this
          document for more information.  Look for the EPO codes <!> <@> <#>.

          If you want to abort any of the above printouts, press <esc>.

          To print multiple labels of a specific name and address or to 
          address an envelope, refer to the <*> EPO.

          Hint:  Practice using Calling Cards's vertical and horizontal 
          adjustments by inserting used sheets of typing paper into your 
          printer and printing a few labels using the <*> EPO or the Label 
          function in combination with the Other category under which you've 
          stored two or three records.

                                 - Name Field Examples - 

          Note:  The information provided below will help you build your 
          Calling Card file properly.  Please read it carefully.  This 
          section shows you how Calling Cards will print the labels of your 
          records.

          Personal names.

          Commas are field delineators in the Calling Cards's Name field.  
          When performing the Print Labels procedure, Calling Cards first 
          looks for a single comma in the Name field.  If it finds a name 
          with a single comma, that comma becomes the pivot, and Calling 
          Cards reverses the two segments defined by the comma.  This is the 
          method generally used for entering common names.  Example:

               Entered as:         Smith, Geraldine P.

               Printed as:         Geraldine P. Smith

          If Calling Cards finds two commas in the Name field, the second 
          comma becomes the pivot, and the first comma is effectively 
          ignored.  So, Calling Cards would take the third section (that part 
          following the second comma) and put that portion in front of the 
          other two sections.
          
          This technique allows you to retain commas in certain forms of 
          address, and it is especially useful when there are introductory or
          trailing titles.  Example:

               Entered as:         Applegate, III, Mark J.

               Printed as:         Mark J. Applegate, III

          If Calling Cards doesn't find a comma, it simply prints the name as 
          it was entered.  Use this method for entering business names when 
          there is no introductory article.  Example:

                                   Northgate Standards Inc.

                                    __________________

          Examples:

          To include introductory titles (such as Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., and
          so on) in the name field, you must put the honorific before the 
          first name.  For instance, if you're using the title "doctor" in 
          someone's name:

               Entered as:         Higgins, Doctor Josie G.

               Printed as:         Doctor Josie G. Higgins

                                    __________________


          The appendage "M.D." (called a trailing title), however, should be 
          included with the last name, which is entered first.

               Entered as:         Higgins, M.D., Josie G.

               Printed as:         Josie G. Higgins, M.D.

          Because there are two commas in the name field, the first comma is 
          ignored, and the second comma becomes the pivot.

                                    __________________


          To accommodate those couples who retain different surnames, enter 
          their names as follows:

               Entered as:         Smith & Jason Jones, Lizbeth

               Printed as:         Lizbeth Smith & Jason Jones

          Calling Cards will retain the record under the Tab index S (for 
          Smith).  If you want to be able to find their names under both J 
          and S, you would have to enter the record twice.  Once as above, 
          and the second time as:
               
               Entered as:         Jones & Lizbeth Smith, Jason

               Printed as:         Jason Jones & Lizbeth Smith

          Business names.

          Note:  The abbreviation, `Inc.', is given special priority in
          Calling Cards when entering business names.  If you enter the
          name of a business followed by a single comma and `Inc.', Calling 
          Cards will not reverse the fields.  If the field contains two
          commas, Calling Cards performs its standard routine, putting the
          last field first.  See the examples below.

          Put introductory articles at the end of the Name field.  Remember, 
          the word you want to key on must come first.  Examples:

                    Name entered as:                  Printed as:

                    Flower Shoppe, The               The Flower Shoppe
                    ICC, Inc.                        ICC, Inc.
                    Mazar Corp.                      Mazar Corp.
                    Bakers Goods, Inc., The          The Bakers Goods, Inc.

          When it comes time to print labels for the above examples, Calling 
          Cards would see the single comma in the first (Flower Shoppe, The) 
          and flip the two fields, creating The Flower Shoppe.  In the second
          example (ICC, Inc.), Calling Cards would see the abbreviation 
          `Inc.' and print the name as it was entered because there is only
          one comma in the name.  The third (Mazar Corp.) would simply be 
          printed as is.

          The fourth example (Bakers Goods, Inc., The) has two commas, and 
          even though it contains the `Inc.' keyword, Calling Cards will flip
          the fields delineated by the second comma, because two commas take 
          precedence over the keyword `Inc.'.  This allows you to enter
          articles that will be printed as shown in the example above.

               EPO  Definition

               <\>  Change the Quickeys (Service categories and Label field 
                    titles.  This EPO is entered in the Options Window.

                    Calling Cards asks which Quickey you want to change.   
                    Enter the Quickey of the service category you want to 
                    change, and Calling Cards will place your cursor under 
                    the old service in the Viewing Window and let you key 
                    in your changes.
                    
                    Press <enter> after you type in the new Service name to 
                    effect the change.  If you find you have inadvertently 
                    pressed the wrong Quickey, press <esc> while your cursor 
                    is still in the Viewing Window, and Calling Cards will 
                    reinstate the original Service category (even if you've 
                    already typed in a completely different service).

                    Calling Cards next asks if you want to change the Label
                    Field titles.  They are originally called Holiday and 
                    Other in the Working Window.  If you do, press <Y>.  If
                    you don't, press <esc> or <N>.

                    The Label Field titles should reflect the one or two 
                    major groups of people in your life.  If you feel the 
                    original titles are inappropriate for you, rename the 
                    fields to "Friends" and "Clients", or whatever you want 
                    to call them.  You don't have to rename both, you can 
                    change the name of just one, if you like.  [Note:  You 
                    cannot leave the Label Field titles blank.  If you 
                    attempt to do so, Calling Cards will impose generic 
                    defaults.]

                    The maximum length of a Service category is 16 characters.

                    The maximum length of a Label Field title is 7 characters.

               <+>  This EPO gives you access to three indispensable 
                    functions for viewing and printing individual records.
                    Entering <+> (the plus sign) in the Options Window brings 
                    up a sub-menu in the Viewing Window that displays the 
                    various viewing modes offered.

                              A.  View Holiday records
                              B.  View Other records
                              C.  View all records in your file

                    Selections A and B allow you to peruse your file along 
                    the lines of either the Holiday or the Other label 
                    fields.  In other words, if you chose A, Calling Cards 
                    would display all of the records in your file that have 
                    an "X" in the Holiday field.

                    Selection C allows you to view all of your records 
                    without regard to the Tab index or the Label field.  If 
                    you mislay a card, you can use this selection to help you 
                    find it.  
                                             
                    How does one lose a calling card?  Not easily, but it 
                    does happen.  For example, suppose you had created a 
                    calling card for a doctor some time ago whose expertise 
                    you one day find you need.  You have completely forgotten 
                    the good doctor's name, and you can't recall exactly how 
                    you abbreviated that person's specialty on the Service 
                    line (thoroughly ignoring the sage advice given above 
                    about keeping it short and simple, or better still, using 
                    a common category like Doctor).  The View function's
                    selection C, will allow you to peruse your entire file 
                    to find that record.

                    You can also use the <*> EPO to print a label, or to 
                    address an envelope using the name and address displayed
                    in the Working Window.  After selecting the viewing mode 
                    (A, B or C), Calling Cards displays the first record it 
                    finds for that mode and displays the field prompts in the
                    Viewing Window to remind you of the functions at your 
                    disposal.  First find the record you want to print, then 
                    press <*>.  After that, simply follow the directions you 
                    see in the Viewing Window.

                    You can go forward or backward through the file by using 
                    the arrow keys, <ctrl> + <home> and <ctrl> + <end>.  To 
                    exit the View EPO function, press <esc>.

                                    - - - - - - - - -

               <|>  Reset Label fields.  You can quickly blank a specified 
                    Label field in all of your records with this function.  

                    This is useful if you do not have a great need for both 
                    label categories.  Use the Holiday field for your 
                    important labeling needs, and use the Other field to 
                    generate short-term label printouts.  

                    If you want to print labels for a select group of your 
                    associates, for example, tag their records using the 
                    Other field.  Print your labels, then use this function 
                    to clear (blank) the Other field so that it will be ready 
                    for the next time you want to run a specialized label 
                    printout.

                    Calling Cards asks for confirmation before it clears your 
                    records.  [Warning:  There is no undo feature for this
                    function.]

                    Speed Legend also appears in the Viewing Window.  You can
                    select speeds from 1 (very fast) to 5 (very slow).

               <*>  Address an envelope, or print from one to 999 labels of 
                    any address displayed in the Working Window.  You can 
                    even use this function to make labels for file folders,
                    your personal books, floppy disks, etc., (refer to 
                    Section 1, Suggestion # 2, below).

                    This EPO is not accessible from the Options Window.  It 
                    is accessible from any of the various viewing functions 
                    such as Directory and Service Call (options 1 and 2),
                    and those viewing functions using the <+> EPO, and in the 
                    Change and Delete functions (options 5 and 6).  In other
                    words, you can use the <*> EPO whenver there is a record
                    displayed in the Working Window.

                    To use this feature you must first display an address in 
                    the Working Window using any of the viewing functions
                    described in the previous paragraph.  If you are printing
                    both the return and the main address on an envelope, be 
                    sure you display the return address first.  For multiple 
                    labels, simply display the address for which you want 
                    multiple copies.

                    Once you have displayed a record in the Working Window,
                    Calling Cards will display a sub-menu in the Viewing 
                    Window:

                                   _____________________________

                                  |           Choice  ==>  _    |
                                  |_____________________________|

                    Selection 1.

                    To print multiple labels of a single address:  Select 1 
                    from the sub-menu.  Calling Cards will ask for the count 
                    ... that is, the number of labels you want printed.  The 
                    count can be anywhere from one to 999.  If you want to 
                    return to the Labels & Envelopes sub-menu, press the up
                    arrow key.

                    Calling Cards will ask you to put your labels into your
                    printer and press <enter> when you have the printer 
                    ready.  (Be sure you have enough one-up fanfold labels to
                    finish the job.)

                    Calling Cards then offers you a chance to test the print 
                    head alignment by displaying in the Viewing Window the 
                    following sub-menu:

                                   _____________________________     
                                  |                             |
                                  |     Print Head Alignment    |
                                  |                             |
                                  |     Please select one of    |
                                  |     the following:          |
                                  |                             |
                                  |        1  Test alignment    |
                                  |        2  Skip test         |
                                  |        3  Exit function     |
                                  |_____________________________|


                    If this is the first time you've run the Multiple Labels
                    function in Calling Cards, you should select 1, to test 
                    the print head alignment.  If you've changed label sizes 
                    or moved the printer tractors for whatever reason, you 
                    should also run the Print Head Alignment test.

                    On the other hand, if you have recently set the print 
                    head adjustment for your printer with Calling Cards and 
                    you haven't moved the printer tractors, Calling Cards 
                    remembers the amount of space it has to space over to 
                    start printing.  So you can skip the Print Head Alignment
                    test by pressing 2.  (This is assuming you are using the 
                    same size labels as you used previously.)

                    If you opt to test the alignment, Calling Cards will  
                    print a test label and ask if the alignment is okay.  If 
                    it isn't, reply <N>, and you will be allowed to make 
                    vertical and horizontal adjustments by pressing the 
                    spacebar key (for vertical) and the left and right arrow 
                    keys (for horizontal).  [Note:  Refer to the section 
                    called "Option # 3, printing labels" for more information
                    about making printer adjustments for labels.]

                    When you're ready to test the alignment again, press 
                    <enter>, and Calling Cards will repeat the above process, 
                    printing out a test label for you to examine.  If 
                    everything meets your approval, press <Y> to print the 
                    labels.

                    Unlike Calling Cards's normal label printing function, 
                    address validation is ignored in this function, allowing 
                    you to print addresses that are incomplete, technically 
                    speaking.  This allows you to force print addresses that 
                    have no zip code (which the Post Office frowns on).

                    After your labels have been printed, Calling Cards 
                    returns you to the Directory function from where you can 
                    continue processing.
                    
                              
                              --------  Print Batch Labels  --------
                    
                    Suggestion 1:  The next time you have the labels in your 
                    printer, print a quantity of labels for those creditors 
                    to whom you mail payments monthly.  If you frequently 
                    write letters to friends, you can even print labels for 
                    their envelopes as well.


                        --------  Print General Purpose Labels  --------

                    Suggestion # 2:  You can also use Calling Cards to print
                    labels for books, file folders, name tags, whatever.  For
                    example, suppose you wanted to print labels for all of 
                    the file folders you have.

                    Choose option 4 (Add function) in the Options Window to 
                    create a new record.  In the Name field enter three 
                    periods (...).  Then press <enter> in all of the other 
                    fields to create the record.  Now exit the Add function, 
                    and choose 5 (Change function) in the Options Window.  
                    Find and Select the record with three periods to change 
                    it.  Remember, you're searching for a record whose Name
                    field begins with a period.  So when the Change function
                    asks for the Tab index, simply enter <.>, a period.

                    Use the first four fields to create a label.  You must 
                    put something in the Name field.  The others you can 
                    leave blank or put in them whatever you want.  If you 
                    leave the first three periods in place in the Name field,
                    the record will not "jump" around.
                    
                    In other words, after you've made the necessary changes 
                    in the Working Window and exit the Change mode to get 
                    access to the <*> EPO, Calling Cards checks the Name 
                    field.  If the name has changed, the records are sorted.
                    
                    If you've deleted the periods, the record will be put 
                    into another Tab index.  By leaving the periods in place,
                    you keep the record in that Tab index.  (And your labels 
                    will look more professional if you put periods after the 
                    title that you've entered in the Name field, as shown 
                    below.)

                              Note:  You can use other symbols besides 
                              periods.  Square brackets ([ and ]), 
                              angled brackets (< and >), or asterisks 
                              (*) will all do the job of anchoring the
                              record.

                    Label examples -

                    You can create labels like this for file folders:

                                 Name:   ...   Personal File   ...
                              Street1:   For:  Norma Jean Bradley
                              Street2:   Includes medical, dental,
                                 City:   and educational records

                               -----------     or    -----------

                    You can create labels like this for your personal books:

                                 Name:   [    This Book Belongs to   ]
                              Street1:   [     Norma Jean Bradley    ]
                              Street2:   [        106 Oak Drive      ]
                                 City:   [     Almaden, NJ  07919    ]

                               -----------     or    -----------

                    You can create labels like this for your floppy disks:

                                 Name:   * This floppy disk belongs to *
                              Street1:   *       My Little Realm       *
                              Street2:   *      John L. Salisbury      *
                                 City:   *   Phone:  (201) 529-8318    *

                    When you have the information in place, press <esc> to 
                    exit the Change mode and you will see the <*> EPO 
                    definition displayed in the Viewing Window with your 
                    label record still in the Working Window.  Print that 
                    label using the Multiple Labels function.  [Note:  If you
                    have changed the name considerably, Calling Cards may
                    change your record's position in the Tab index.  Should
                    that happen, simply use the directional keys to find it.]

                    After you've printed the label, Select that record again
                    by pressing <enter>.  Make the changes for the next label
                    you want to print, leaving the periods in place in the
                    Name field.  When you finished making those changes,
                    press <esc> to leave the Change mode, and use the <*>
                    EPO to print that label.

                    Hint:  When using this process, be sure you skip the 
                    Print Head Alignment test after the first label has been
                    printed.  Once you have the alignment set, you do not 
                    need to reset it, and retesting the alignment merely
                    wastes labels.

                    Hint:  If you think you'll be reusing the labels you're
                    printing, keep each one rather than making changes to an 
                    individual record.  Then, on the Service line of each of
                    these records, enter the category "Label".  Once created,
                    you can reference any of them for printing by using the 
                    Service Call option in the Options Window.

                    Selecton 2.

                    Address envelopes:  Select 2 from the sub-menu.  Calling 
                    Cards will ask if this is a return address or a main 
                    address by displaying another sub-menu.  Choose the
                    appropriate response.  [Note:  As with Print Multiple 
                    Labels, above, Calling Cards performs no address 
                    validation in this function.]

                    Your printer's owner's manual should tell you how to 
                    insert an envelope into your printer.  If it doesn't, 
                    insert the envelope so that the printhead (in its 
                    left-most position in the carriage) is 1/4" from the top 
                    and 1/4" from the left side of the envelope.  Calling 
                    Cards will begin printing in that position for the 
                    return address.  You should insert the envelope in the 
                    same position if you're planning to print only the main 
                    address as well.

                    If you are printing a return address, Calling Cards will 
                    ask you to press <enter> at this point to begin printing.

                    If you want to print a main address after you've printed 
                    a return address, leave the envelope in the printer and 
                    select the address to be printed using any of the viewing 
                    functions.
                    
                    When you have the name and address for the main address 
                    in the Working Window, press <*>.  Tell Calling Cards 
                    that you want to print the main address.  Then, tell 
                    Calling Cards what size the envelope is.  It can be 
                    either standard or legal.  [Note:  If you enter the wrong
                    size envelope, press the up arrow to return to the
                    Return/Main Address query.]

                    The only thing left to do is to make the vertical 
                    adjustment necessary by pressing <spacebar> ... usually 
                    about two or three times.  (Envelopes don't have to be 
                    one of the formal standard or legal sizes.  Using 
                    <spacebar> to adjust the vertical placement of the main 
                    address allows you to print on many of the tall envelopes 
                    found in card specialty shops.)  Then press <enter> to 
                    print the main address.
                    
                    After the printing is finished, Calling Cards returns you 
                    to the invoking viewing function.

                    Don't forget to enter your own name and address in 
                    Calling Cards if you want to print your address in the 
                    return address position!

                    These EPO's are not available from the Options Window.

                    To generate a checklist, choose 3 in the Options Window 
                    (Print Labels).  Select D from the sub-menu, which tells 
                    Calling Cards to print a comprehensive listing of your 
                    calling cards file, rather than labels.
                    
                    Calling Cards will display a message telling you to:
                             
                             _______________________________

                            |     your records.             |
                            |                               |

                            |     this function.            |
                            |                               |
                            |     To print a checklist,     |
                            |     enter one of the          |
                            |     following EPO's:          |
                            |                               |
                            |       <!> = Holiday           |
                            |       <@> = Other             |
                            |       <#> = Both labels       |
                            |                               |
                            |_______________________________|

                    If you press <enter>, you'll get the standard 
                    comprehensive listing.  However, you can tell Calling 
                    Cards to create a checklist for the Holiday label group 
                    by pressing <!>; for the Other label group by pressing 
                    <@>; and for both by pressing <#>.

                    These checklists contain all of the data found in each 
                    record and include the trailing line:

                              Card:  ___ Sent   ____ Received

                    This lets you check off whether you actually sent the 
                    card or letter, and whether you received a reply.  

                    After the listing has been completed, Calling Cards 
                    prints several lines under a heading entitled New 
                    Entries.  This gives you a place to put those extra names 
                    and addresses that always seem to pop up out of nowhere 
                    after a mailing has taken place.

                    When the printing is finished, Calling Cards returns you 
                    to the Options Window.  

                    Checklists are useful when you need to keep track of the
                    people or organizations to whom you send cards or 
                    invitations and whether or not those parties have 
                    responded.  Examples abound:

                         Wedding invitations
                         Business mailings where a card or a call 
                              is expected in return
                         Christmas card lists
                         Any invitation with an R.S.V.P.

                    Note:  These checklists are printed on standard fanfold 
                    printer paper.
