                            Help: Adding a Number
                          -------------------------
     
    To add a number you must first go to the main menu and move the  
  hi-lighted cursor bar to "Add   Number" this will take you to another 
  menu where you can enter the information.  Press ENTER to input the 
  name.  Then press ENTER again to scroll around.  Move the hi-lighted 
  cursor bar to enter other information (telephone, address and the 
  index).  After you have finished, move the cursor down until you 
  get to "Save and Exit to Menu".  This will save your info and return 
  you to the main menu.  PhonBook's maximum capacity of files is 
  one-thousand in one directory, so you can have plenty of room for 
  storing lots of files. Each file takes 132 bytes of space to save 
  even more space!

  Tip: If you need to enter more files beyond the limit, then change the
  directory in the setup to any directory.  Now you can add 1000 more
  PhonBook files!  You should organize your files in their proper  
  directory ...  your friends in directory   C:\PBFriend.

                            Help: Viewing a Number
                          --------------------------
    
       To view a number you must first go to the main menu and move the 
     hi-lighted cursor bar to "View Number" and press ENTER.  This will 
     take you to a menu where you enter the INDEX NAME of the PhonBook
     file you want to view.  Type "*" if you want to see all files.
     PhonBook checks all INDEX Names that you entered.  The index name
     will be all converted to uppercase so it will not be case-sensitive.
     If you only know part of the index name you can enter the part you
     know with a "*" just after it, this will search all files begining
     with what you put before the "*".  This is very useful when you
     have hundreds of PhonBook files.  Type "P:[person's name]" to
     list the files with the matching Person's name.
        To dial a phone number, simply place the hi-lighted cursor to
     either "Dial H." (Dial Home) or "Dial W." (Dial Work).  Then 
     press ENTER and it will dial the number through your modem!  
     After it is dialing, you will have to pick up your reciever
     from your telephone and your all set.  To set up the Com-Port
     and modem commands, see "Help: P.B.  Setup".

                           Help: Editing a number

       To edit a number you must first go to the main menu and move the
     hi-lighted cursor bar to "Edit   Number" and press ENTER.  This 
     will take you to a menu where you can enter the INDEX NAME of the 
     PhonBook file you want to edit.  Type "*" if you want to edit all
     files (see "Help: View Number" for "*").    
     
       Scroll to the place that you want to edit and press the ENTER
     key.  You will have a chance to edit the Person's Name, Home Phone,
     Work Phone, Address, and Index.  After you have finished editing,
     press the ENTER key again (exept for Home Phone & Work Phone).
     When you have finished editing the file, move the hi-lighted
     cursor to "Exit to next match" or press the ESC key to exit to
     the main menu.  If you selected "Exit to next match", read 
     through this section until you know what you are doing.

                          Help: Printing a number
                        ---------------------------

       To print a number you must first go to the main menu and move the
     hi-lighted cursor bar to "Print  Number" and press the ENTER key. 
     This will take you to a menu where you can enter the INDEX NAME
     of the PhonBook file you want to print.  Type "*" if you want to
     print all files (see "Help: View Number" for "*").    
     
       After you have entered the INDEX NAME, PhonBook should have 
     asked you "Print this?:" press the "Y" (Yes) key if you would  
     like to print out the information.  Press the "N" (No) key
     if you would like not to print out the information.  Be sure
     that your printer is on and is on-line.  Also check that there
     is enough paper to print out the info.  PhonBook can print out
     a little more than three (3) files on one sheet.  After you 
     have finished printing, press the ESC key if you want to exit
     to the main menu, or continue printing another file.  PhonBook
     will exit automatically when there is no more matching files.

*Start_Delete*
                          Help: Deleting a number
                        ---------------------------

       To delete a number you must first go to the main menu and move 
     the hi-lighted cursor bar to "Delete Number" and press the 
     ENTER key.  This will take to a menu where you can enter the 
     INDEX NAME of the PhonBook file you want to delete.  Type "*" if
     you want to delete all files (see "Help: View Number" for "*").    

       After you have entered in the INDEX NAME, PhonBook will ask
     your verification about deleting the file.  It will ask you
     "Are you sure?:".  Press "Y" (Yes) if you are really sure that 
     you want to delete the file.  Press "N" (No) if you are not 
     sure that you want to delete the file.  After you have finished
     deleting the files you want, press the ESC key to exit to the 
     main menu, or continue deleting files.  PhonBook gives you 
     added security to deleting files by getting your verification
     and by the password option (see "Help: P.B. Setup" for 
     password).

       To list all the PhonBook files you must first go to the main menu 
     and move the hi-lighted cursor bar to "List Number" and press the
     ENTER key.  This will take you to a menu where you can scroll to
     all the PhonBook files with a touch of a key!  Press the up arrow
     to scroll up, or press the down arrow to scroll down.  When 
     PhonBook reaches to the last file, it will go back to the main
     menu automatically.  Another way to exit is by pressing the ESC
     key.  The listing option is useful when you need quick info on
     a file, or if you just want to see all your PhonBook files.

                            Help: Setup PhonBook
                          ------------------------
       To setup PhonBook you must first go to the main menu and choose
     "P.B. Setup".  This will take you to a menu where you can setup  
     the I/O Directory, Password, Com-Port, and many other.
     
       To setup the I/O directory (Input,Output), press the ENTER key 
     and enter the directory where PhonBook will put it's files to.  If 
     the directory does not exist, it will make it.  The default directory 
     is "C:\PHONBOOK".  You may change this if there is no more room in 
     that directory.  You should also separate the directories into 
     different subjects  so it would be more organized (C:\PBFriend [your
     friends phone numbers], C:\PBShops [your favorite shops]).
     
       To setup the password, move the cursor bar to "Setup Password" 
     and press ENTER.  If you want to add a new password then choose
     "New password".  Enter your new password and be sure to remember

     it incorrect, it will beep and return your original password if
     you had one.

       If you want to delete the current password, choose
     "Delete password".  It will ask you for your password and then 
     you can enter it (note: It will display "*" for your protection).  
       If you want to setup the Com-Port (Communication Port) number 
     select "Phone Setup" and press ENTER, and ENTER again.  Then Enter 
     the valid number.  The default Com-Port number is 1.  If you don't  
     know your port number leave it on 1.
       To set up "Add "#" prefix", move the hi-lighted cursor bar to 
     "Add "#" prefix" and press the ENTER key.  The prefix is used 
     for when you need to call long distance by adding a "1" in front.
     Or, if you are in an office you can use this special option if you
     have different lines you need to call.  The valid number is 
     0 through 9.  If you don't need any prefix at all enter a "0". 
      To setup the modem dial command or hangup command, goto "Modem 
    Commands" and press enter.  If you don't know the dial command, 
    put "ATDT" this is the most common dial command.  If you don't know 
    the hangup command, put "ATH" this is the most common hang-up command.
