Installation:

        We recommend that you create a seperate directory for Micro-Fone
        and it's files to reside in.

        Once you have the files in a dedicated User Directory, Open the
        FILE MANAGER, and reduce it to a size that will allow the PROGRAM
        MANAGER viewable at the same time.  Open a window in the
        PROGRAM MANAGER where you would like Micro-Fone to reside.  With
        the files in the User Directory you've created visible in the FILE
        MANAGER, and the open window visible in the PROGRAM MANAGER,
        click on the file MB-Fone.exe.  Holding the mouse button down, drag the
        MB-Fone.exe file into the open PROGRAM MANAGER window.

        As far as Windows is concerned, Micro-Fone is now pathed to.  However,
        you must click on the Micro-Fone icon and check it's properties in the
        PROGRAM MANAGER FILE window.  It's "working directory" should be
        the User Directory you've created.

Setup:

        The accompanying MB-Fone.ini file has been preconfigured for Com 2
        and no dialing prefix.  These defaults may be modified by selecting
        "Setup" in the Micro-Fone window.  A check-mark is used to indicate
        the status of the Com Port selected, while the status of the default
        use of the prefix can be determined by the "Use Prefix" box in the
        Micro-Fone window.

Operation:

        Is fairly straight-forward.  From the Micro-Fone window, choose the
        "FoneBook" Menu to "Open" an existing FoneBook, or create a new one
        with the "New" option.

        If the "New" option is selected, fill in the information requested in the
        Micro-Fone window.  When you click the "Add" button, your new
        FoneBook will be updated.

        If you "Open" an existing FoneBook, you will be provided with
        a sorted list of names and your reference as to the phone
        numbers they are related to.  A name may be highlighted with
        a click of the mouse and "Select"ed from the Menu, a double-click
        on the name will have the same effect.

        Each phone book has a capacity of 100 parties.  The "parties" box
        in the Micro-Fone window will alert you as to the total parties you
        have in the Opened FoneBook.

        Once a FoneBook is "Open," the "Get Party" Menu selection will
        allow you to toggle back to the FoneBook list to get another
        number to dial.

        When adding new names to your FoneBook, it is advisable, but not
        necessary, that you enter information into the "Comments" field in
        the Micro-Fone window.  This will allow you to add different numbers
        for a given name, like one for their home and another for their office,
        or for different departments in a business list.

        If you have several numbers to add for a given address, as with
        company departments, use the "Get Party" menu to select the original
        entry, and modify the Number and Comment fields as required.  Then
        "Add" that record.  The database will be up dated with all of the
        original information, plus the changes to the fields you altered.

        The action buttons, Dial, ReDial, Add and Delete are self explanatory.
        Remember, however, to click the "Use Prefix" box before making a long
        distance call, or vice-versa for a local call.  This, of course,
        depends on how you have the default use of the prefix configured.
