E-Page for DOS

                            Quick-Start Manual

        This manual is designed to get you up and running with E-Page
        so that you can decide if this program will meet your needs.
        If you find this program useful, and purchase a copy of it for
        yourself, you will receive the "key code" necessary to unlock
        the rest of the features of the program. You will also receive
        a printed manual that explains each portion of the program so
        that you can make the most of this program.

        After you have installed the program on your hard-drive, the
        program does a minimum customization for you by asking which COM
        port your modem is attached to, and which parallel port to use
        for printing.  It also automatically creates a directory called
        "EPAGE" in which to install the program.  To start E-Page, change
        to the hard-drive you selected during the installation process, and
        then enter the following commands:

        CD \EPAGE
        EPAGE

        This will start the E-Page program.  If you have already purchased
        this copy, please see the included key code information sheet on
        how to enter your key code to unlock the full features of this
        program.

        At the top of the screen are the pull-down menus that give you
        access to all the program functions.  You will notice that the
        first letter is either highlighted (for black and white
        monitors) or is shown in red (for color monitors).  To access a
        particular menu, press down and hold the <ALT> key, and then
        press the highlighted letter key.  For example, to access the
        Directory menu, you would press down and hold the <ALT> key, and
        then press the "D" key.  Another way to access these menus is to
        press the <F10> key, and then use the cursor keys to move from
        menu to menu, and access each menu option.

        A quick note:  While working with the dialog boxes, press the
        <TAB> key to move from field to field.  After you have cycled
        through the entry fields, continuing to press the <TAB> key will
        cycle through all the button options.

        The first step is to ensure the correct program settings.
        First, press <ALT-S> to activate the System menu, then press
        <ENTER> on "Change Program Defaults".  The two items on this
        list that should be double checked are the com port setting, and
        the "Location of Message Files" setting.  The com port should be
        either "COM1" or "COM2", and the "Location of Message Files"
        setting should be the drive on which you installed the software
        and "\EPAGE".  For example, if you installed the software to your
        C: drive, the entry should read "C:\EPAGE".  When both of these
        are correct, press <ENTER>.

        The next step is to enter the phone number to dial to send your
        messages.  You'll need to contact the pager company and find out
        what phone number to dial to reach their modem.  Once you have
        this information, select the System menu, and select then
        "Paging Company Data" option.

        Enter the phone number to dial in "Paging Company Modem Line".
        This field will accept up to 11 numbers.  If you're calling a
        long distance number, don't forget to enter the "1" and area
        code if necessary.  Next to the number field is the speed you
        want the modems to communicate.  As distributed, each speed
        is set to 300, but some systems may require you to change this.
        The allowable settings are 300, 1200, and 2400.  Experiment with
        different settings to determine the optimum speed.  The next setting
        is the password.  At the current time, the TAP Protocol indicates
        this is used only for identification purposes.  Double check with
        your pager company to verify they don't require a specific password.
        If not, you should enter an abbreviation of your company name, or
        your name.  If you would like to have a company ID appended to each
        message you send, enter the text you would like appended in the
        Company ID field.  If you leave this field blank, your messages
        will be sent as typed.  Then press <ENTER>.

        The next step is to enter a person into the directory.  Press
        <F2> to bring up the new staff member dialog box.  The first
        step is to enter the Staff ID.  This can be any combination of 5
        letters or numbers.  This is used as a shortM setting.     wr 5
