@03 Create    - Allows worksheets to be created and/or printed. Up to    
             100 formats can be saved with a user defined name.       
 Recall    - Allows saved worksheet formats to be viewed, renamed or  
             deleted and worksheets can be printed using the formats. 
@07 ------------------------------ Files ------------------------------- 
 Load      - file loaded from a floppy disk to the hard drive.        
 Backup    - file on hard drive backed up to a floppy disk.           
 Delete    - file will be deleted from the current directory.         
@07 ----------------------------- Utilitys ----------------------------- 
 Header     - Create a line of text printed on top of worksheets.     
 Calendar   - Generates calendars for any date from 1899 - 2099.      
 Printer    - list of functions for installed printer.                
 Install printer     - list of printers available to install.         
 Edit custom printer - allows you to enter functions and codes for    
                       a printer not included in the install menu.    
                                                                      
 
@71 ----------------------< Installing Printers >----------------------- 
@07 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 
    [Utilitys:Install printer] - when a printer is installed, codes   
    to set margins, etc. will be sent to the printer each time a      
    worksheet is printed. The program MATH-SHOP requires a spacing of 
    6 lines/inch (66 lines per page) with no top and bottom margins.  
    Horizontal spacing is based on 10 char/inch (Pica pitch).         
@07 ---------------------------- Dot Matrix ---------------------------- 
    The worksheets should print correctly without any printer in-     
    stalled. If you have a problem and your printer is not listed,    
    install the [Epson] and set your printer to Epson emulation.      
@07 ----------------------- LaserJet or PaintJet ----------------------- 
    These printers or compatibles have a non-zero margin as a default.
    You MUST INSTALL the printer driver to correct this problem.      
@07 ----------------------------- General ------------------------------ 
    The codes for an installed printer can also be sent manually by   
    selecting the menu item [Utilitys:Printer] or <M> at print time.  
                                                                      
 
@71 -------------------------< Custom Printer >------------------------- 
@07 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 
@03    [Utilitys:Edit custom printer] - this allows the creation of a    
@03    custom printer driver. You can enter a printer name and up to 10  
@03    functions with codes. Once created or edited the driver must be   
    installed before use: [Utilitys:Install printer:Custom].          
                                                                      
    If you want control codes sent automatically at print time put    
    these under the function name <Set Page>. For example, to auto-   
    matically send a form feed and turn on NLQ before printing set    
    up a function as follows:     Set Page,27,12,27,120,1             
    Your printer manual contains the codes you will need to set up    
    your own functions. The codes must be in DECIMAL format with a    
    comma used as a separator.                                        
                                                                      
    The codes for an installed printer can also be sent manually by   
    selecting the menu item [Utilitys:Printer] or <M> at print time.  
                                                                      
 
@71 ------------------------< Print to a file >------------------------- 
@07 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 
@03    This option allows the worksheets to be printed to a file with a  
@03    user defined name. The file can then be printed without the use   
@03    of MATH-SHOP. For example, when the program asks for a file name  
    type in the following: (assuming you are using the A drive)       
                                                                      
    A:MATHTEST.ADD - prints worksheet in file MATHTEST.ADD on drive A 
                                                                      
    Print on any DOS computer by typing:   COPY A:MATHTEST.ADD PRN    
                                                                      
    The <Set Page> printer codes for the installed printer will be    
    be placed in the file. These codes will be sent to the printer    
    the same as if printed from MATH-SHOP. You should install the     
    printer that you will be printing the worksheets on before        
    printing to the file. To have no codes in the file install the    
    <None> printer  [Utilitys:Install printer:None]                   
                                                                      
 
@71 ----------------------------< Headers >----------------------------- 
@07 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 
@03    [Utilitys:Headers] - allows the creation of a line of text to be  
@03    printed at the top of each worksheet. The ACTIVE HEADER is the    
@03    one that will be printed. To make a different header active use   
    the up-down arrow keys to scroll to the desired header then use   
    <F5> to make the displayed header the active one.                 
                                                                      
    When the header says `Blank header' it is an empty header and is  
    waiting for text to be input. As you create each new header a     
    blank header will be added to the list (a maximum of 20). You can 
    change any header or use <F4> to erase all the headers. To print  
    without a header use a `Blank header' as the active one.          
                                                                      
    The date function reserves the 10 spaces needed for the date.     
    The current computer date will be printed on the worksheet.       
    The date should be placed first and then the remaining text.

@71 -----------------------< Problem Selection >------------------------ 
@07 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 
@03  In selecting problems the program checks for duplicates and will    
@03  not allow problems to be repeated on a page unless requested. The   
@03  number of unique problems available will be displayed. If there     
  are more than 1000 the program will indicate > 1000. (For integer   
  division the max is 300). Depending on the number of problems re-   
  quested each page will be filled as follows:                        
                                                                      
    Number on page > unique :   All unique + random duplicates        
    Number on page = unique :   All unique in a random order          
    Number on page < unique :   Random selection from unique          
                                                                      
  For example if you pick multiplication with the ranges 0 - 10       
  and 0 - 9 then there will be 110 unique problems available. If      
  you then select 110 problems on a page the program will put all     
  110 unique problems on each page in a random order.                 
                                                                      
 
@71 ------------------------< Number Selection >------------------------ 
@07 ----------------------------- Addition ----------------------------- 
@03   You have a choice of 2 or 3 number addition problems. The program  
@03   does not currently permit having both 2 and 3 number problems on   
   the same worksheet.                                                
                                                                      
@07 -------------------------- Multiplication -------------------------- 
   Depending on the ranges selected the program will prompt you to    
   determine if the number of digits in the top number can be less    
   than the number of digits in the bottom number. For example:

     0 - 9999             45                 1268   or    561         
     0 - 9999          x 753               x  753       x 753

@71 ------------------------< Number Selection >------------------------ 
@07 --------------------------- Subtraction ---------------------------- 
@03   Negative answers are not allowed by the program. If you try to     
@03   select ranges that only have negative answers the program will     
   tell you this and wait for acceptable ranges to be input.          
                                                                      
@07 ----------------------------- Variety ------------------------------ 
   This menu selection allows addition (2 number), subtraction and    
   multiplication problems to be placed on the same worksheet. A      
   menu will appear asking what combination of problems should be     
   used on the worksheet. If the ranges selected will not allow a     
   certain type of problem requested than none of that type will      
   appear on the worksheet. For example if you request addition and   
   subtraction problems but the ranges selected would only generate   
   negative subtraction answers than the program will fill the page   
   with addition problems.

@07 ----------------------------- Division ----------------------------- 
@03   For division you have 3 options:                                   
@03                                                                      
@03   Allow remainders :  problems can have answers with remainders      
   Integer only     :  problems will only have whole number answers   
   Division tables  :  problems will be from division tables.         
                                                                      
   The division tables will generate problems which are the inverse   
   of the multiplication tables ( using the ranges 1 - 11 & 1 - 9 )   
   This results in 99 problems using the ranges 1 - 9 for the         
   divisor and 1 - 99 for the dividend. For example:                  
                                             ___                      
            9 x 11 = 99   > inverse >     9 / 99  = 11                
                                                                      
   The division tables option will only appear for ranges which       
   have 1 digit for the divisor and 1 or 2 digits for the dividend.

@03  The default ranges will allow multiple digit numbers on the same    
@03  worksheet. By changing the default ranges you control the numbers   
@03  that will be selected. (assume 4 digits was selected)               
  For example:                                                        
     0000 - 9999   to   1000 - 9999   :  4 digit numbers              
     0000 - 9999   to   0100 - 0999   :  3 digit numbers              
     0000 - 9999   to   0010 - 0099   :  2 digit numbers              
     0000 - 9999   to   0000 - 0009   :  1 digit numbers              
     0000 - 9999   to   0006 - 0489   :  1, 2 & 3 digit numbers       
     0000 - 9999   to   0057 - 0432   :  2 & 3 digit numbers          
     0000 - 9999   to   0015 - 4356   :  2, 3 & 4 digit numbers       
     0000 - 9999   to   0001 - 0060   :  1 & 2 digit numbers          
                  etc.                                                
   However these are only examples and you have full flexibility to   
   generate any combination of digits and numbers you might need.
