Quick Delete Utility
                            Version 2.1

This little utility makes deleting files from DOS much safer and easier
than its DOS equivalent since it will allow you to tag the files for
deletion before actually deleting the selected files.

The program is offered free to all who find it useful.

To run QDEL, simply type QDEL followed by the file specification.

Example: QDEL *.BAK

QDEL now supports monochrome monitors by changing TcxlAtrMapSet=0 within the
QDEL.INI file to TcxlAtrMapSet=1 in any ASCII text editor and saving the
file.

QDEL now supports the CUA Standard. An important concept in CUA selection is
the idea of an "anchor point."  This is the position in the list from which
an extended selection is made.  Once an anchor point has been established,
the user can create, modify, or remove a range of tagged items.

These are the mouse actions that you can use for tagging one or more items:

I.  MOUSE

    Action              Result
    ======              ======

    Click               1.  Tags the item.
                        2.  Un-tags all other tagged items.                                               
                        3.  Sets the anchor point.

    Shift+Click         1.  Tags all items from the anchor point to the       
                            selected item.
                        2.  Un-tags all other choices.
                        3.  Preserves the anchor point.

    Ctrl+Click          1.  Toggles the tag state of the selected item.
                        2.  Preserves the tagged state of all other choices.
                        3.  Sets the anchor point.

    Ctrl+Shift+Click    1.  Toggles all choices from the anchor point to the
                            selected item.
                        2.  Preserves the tag state of all other choices.
                        3.  Preserves the anchor point.

II. KEYBOARD

On the keyboard, [Space] is the selection key.  In general, however, any 
item you move to using the movement keys ([Up], [Down], [Left], [Right], 
[Home], [End], [PgUp], [PgDn]) is automatically tagged.  To toggle add-mode 
on and off, use [Shift-F8].  To move without tagging additional items, use 
[Shift] with the movement keys.  To end the selection process, and return 
with a list of tagged items, press [Enter].  To terminate selection without 
tagging any items, press [Esc].

When in add-mode, the basic behavior is as follows:

    ž   Use movement keys to move around without tagging, and to set the anchor
        point.

    ž   Use [Shift] with the movement keys to toggle from the anchor point
        to the current position and keep the anchor point.

    ž   Use [Ctrl] with the movement keys to move without tagging or changing the
        anchor point.

    ž   Use [Space] to toggle the item at the cursor position and set the
        anchor point.

    ž   Use [Shift-Space] to toggle everything from the anchor point to the
        current position and preserve the anchor point.
