Installation ------------- To install Portfolio Pages, simply copy all files in the package to a directory/folder of your choosing; we suggest creating a new directory named \PORTFOL (or, in Windows 95, a sub-folder named as desired ). The Portfolio Pages package should be placed in a directory/folder of its own (rather than being commingled with other files or programs in the same directory/folder). You may then launch the Portfolio Pages program from File Manager or Explorer by double-clicking on PORTFOL.EXE. You may also create a new program item/shortcut for Portfolio Pages in any desired program group or folder, specifying the pathname to PORTFOL.EXE as the command line, i.e., C:\PORTFOL\PORTFOL.EXE as well as indicating the same directory as the working directory (required in Windows 3.1), as in: C:\PORTFOL The program's icon is contained within PORTFOL.EXE and may be specified as the displayable icon. You may then, in Windows 3.1, double-click on the program's icon to launch Portfolio Pages; in Windows 95, simply select the Start menu item for Portfolio Pages, or launch from the appropriate folder. In Windows 95, to add this program to your Start Menu: 1. Click on Start. 2. Move the mouse pointer up to Settings. 3. Click on Taskbar... 4. Select the 'Start Menu Programs' tab. 5. Click on Add. 6. Click on Browse, then navigate to the application's executable file, PORTFOL.EXE, by first double-clicking to the folder or sub-folder in which it exists. Select PORTFOL.EXE. Click on Open. 7. Now the Command line shows the path to the Portfolio Pages executable file. Click on Next. 8. Choose a folder in which the shortcut to the program will appear (or select New Folder if one is desired). 9. Click on Next. 10. At the prompt 'Select a name for the shortcut,' type in "Portfolio Pages." 11. Click on Finish. This returns you to the Taskbar Properties window. Click on OK. The online documentation may be read after launching Portfolio Pages by selecting the button on any page, or by pressing . (Pressing the button brings up the Contents page of the Portfolio Pages Help; from the Contents page, you may click on an item to go directly to a topic, or click the >> (Next) button on the Windows help screen to browse through the topics in documentation sequence. Pressing while the focus is on other components provides context-sensitive help.) You may also print (recommended) or view a formatted version of the documentation by opening the PORFOL.WRI file in Windows 3.1 Write or Windows 95 WordPad (or any Windows word processor that can read the Write file format, such as Microsoft Word) and utilizing the print facility from within that program.
