──────────────────── Navigating around FAST ACCESS ───────────────────

After you've added programs with the Add command, use the cursor keys,
including <Home> and <End>, to move the highlight around FAST ACCESS.

To access the commands at the bottom of the screen, just press the
first letter of that command.

At any time FAST ACCESS asks you a question, you can always use the
<Esc> key to exit/backout of that item.

─────────────────────────── Using a Mouse ────────────────────────────

To execute any command just click the left button on the command word.

To highlight a program name just click the left button once on the
program name.

To execute a program double-click the left button on the program name.
The double-click has to be fairly rapid for execution to occur.

To change an option in the Setup Configuration window, simply click
the left button on any highlighted item.

To escape out of a command, click the right mouse button (it's the
same as pressing the <Esc> key).

Any item that is highlighted in a different color, such as () or
(─┘) symbols, etc., can usually be clicked on with the left mouse
button.

To see the version number of FAST ACCESS click the (≡) symbol on the
left side of the command line (in both the main program window and the
Setup Configuration window).

────────────────────────────── Commands ──────────────────────────────

─┘run - Pressing <Enter> will run the highlighted program.

   Add - Add a program to FAST ACCESS and a batch file to disk.  When
         you need to Add a program to FAST ACCESS, this is the command
         you will use.  FAST ACCESS will guide you through the steps,
         and help is available at each question by pressing the <F1>
         function key.  The last question will ask you if you want to
         password protect the program.  It gives you the option of
         using the same password that locks you out of FAST ACCESS, or
         a unique password of it's own.  For this function to be
         active, the Password option in the Setup Configuration must
         be enabled.
         
Delete - Delete the highlighted program from FAST ACCESS and erase the
         program's batch file from disk.  FAST ACCESS will ask you to
         verify these steps, since it can erase the batch file for the
         program.

  Move - Move the highlighted program to a new location on screen.
         This command will only work if the Sorting method option in
         the Setup Configuration is set to Custom.

         NOTE: If the Global cursor access option in Setup is ON, you
               cannot use the mouse to move programs.

  View - View highlighted program's information (including if the
         program has been password protected) and show the program's
         batch file on the screen.  You can also view your system
         files (AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS) by pressing the <F2>
         function key.

  Edit - Edit the highlighted program's batch file using FAEDITOR.EXE.
         FAEDITOR.EXE must be located in the ROOT directory for Edit
         to work. You can Edit the batch file indicated, or edit the
         batch filename to any valid text file that you wish to work
         on.  If you want to edit your system files (AUTOEXEC.BAT and
         CONFIG.SYS), press the <F2> function key and select the file
         to edit.

Revise - Revise the highlighted program's name or change the batch
         file name.  If you selected Program revision, you will be
         asked if you want to password protect the program.  It gives
         you the option of using the same password that locks you out
         of FAST ACCESS, or a unique password of it's own.  For this
         function to be active, the Password option in the Setup
         Configuration must be enabled.

 Setup - Setup window for FAST ACCESS configuration options.

Update - Saves any changes that were made to FAST ACCESS.  If no
         changes were made and you press Update, nothing will happen.
         FAST ACCESS knows when you've changed something, and will
         remind you of it if you forget to Update.  Whenever FAST
         ACCESS updates it's FA.SET file, you will see "UPDATE" at the
         bottom of the screen for a few seconds.

  Help - This window.

    OS - Exits to the DOS prompt without leaving FAST ACCESS.  If you
         need to access DOS for something, you can use this command.
         It saves you from having to Quit FAST ACCESS to get to DOS.

  Quit - Quits FAST ACCESS.  FAST ACCESS will check and see that
         nothing has changed before letting you Quit the program.

         NOTE: You MUST ALLWAYS quit out of FAST ACCESS before turning
               your computer off.  If you do not do this, certain
               options, like password protection, may not be active
               when you start FAST ACCESS up again.
               
────────────────── Function Keys used by FAST ACCESS ─────────────────

    F1 - HELP - Same as pressing <H> on the command line.
 
    F2 - HISTORY WINDOW - Pops up the History window which will dis-
         play the last 9 programs that were executed.  Provides a

         way you don't have to cursor all over the screen to execute
         them if you have a lot of programs listed).  You can call up
         the History window with the mouse by clicking the left mouse
         button anywhere on rows 5 or 6 (the top two rows the mouse is
         able to move to).  Clicking the right mouse button will clear
         the History window.

         option.  It saves a few key strokes.

         Password option.  It saves a few key strokes.
 
    F5 - REDRAW MAIN SCREEN - If for some reason you get some garbage
         on your FAST ACCESS screen, whether it's from a TSR program
         or whatever, the <F5> key will redraw the main FAST ACCESS
         screen.
 
    F6 - VERSION NUMBER - Pops up the FAST ACCESS version and tech
         support number window.

         don't want to wait for the blank screen time to blank the
         screen for you, you can press <F7> to do it.
