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 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 key. 5. From Program Manager's Main Menu select File | Properties and the Program Item Properties dialog appears. 6. Press the key once to move to the "Command Line." 7. Press the key once to move to the end of the "Command Line." 8. Press the 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.
