     The GetAhead presentation uses 3 different screen Modes:
 
          A.  Menu Mode
          B.  Browse Linear Text Mode
          C.  Browse Hypertext Mode

     When GetAhead is started and displays the Cover Screen, it is in Menu Mode
where the visual appearance and method of interfacing, via keyboard options 
on a highlighted bar at the bottom of the screen, remain essentially the same 
throughout the presentation, even when requesting Help via the F1 key, or 
receiving special prompts.  When the presentation is in Menu Mode, pressing
the ESC key one or more times will always bring you back to the Main Menu and 
then prompt you for exiting the presentation or not. 

     Each Menu Mode screen has the option, "F2 = More Info".  When this option
is selected, the presentation shifts into Browse Linear Text Mode where the 
maximum amount of available screen may be utilized for presenting text in a 
traditional paged linear structure.  As with Menu Mode, allowable keyboard
commands are on a highlighted bar at the bottom of the screen. The ESC key
returns you to the Main Menu.  There is no 'help' for this mode.

     The Browse Linear Text Mode is also used for Main Menu option #2, 
"GetAhead - The Text Documents".

     Two of the Main Menu option choices are "In Hypertext", and when these 
options are selected, the presentation shifts into Hypertext Mode which is 
uniquely distinguished by a Menu Bar at the top of a screen and a full screen
border.  If you have a mouse, it will be active.

     In Hypertext Mode, the basic navigation method is to move the highlighted 
cursor to any of the one or more high intensity words, phrases, or Menu Bar 
options and then press ENTER.  Pointing and clicking the left mouse button 
accomplishes the same result.  The highlighted cursor may be moved forward with
the SPACEBAR and backward with the BACKSPACE key.  

     When in Hypertext Mode, choose "HELP" for a hypertext navigation tutorial
on utilizing the unique information browsing, searching, and printing 
capabilities.  Pressing the ESC key immediately returns you to the Main Menu.
