*B H_OVERVIEW,QBook Overview

This overview is intended to familiarize the new QBook user with the
usage of the program.  It would be a good idea to read it through the
first time you start QBook (which is why it is the first thing you see
when you run QBook for the first time).

Each help screen provides cross-references to related information.
If you are unsure how to use this function, press ENTER to see
information on ^Using QBook Help^.

To continue with the overview, press the right arrow and then Enter
for: ^Overview: What is QBook?^

Thanks to Jim Bodle for his efforts in writing most of this overview.

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: The Main Menu^

QBook is a freeform text database which is primarily intended for storing
recipes without having to enter them in a rigid format.  It is ideal for
storing recipes retrieved from Bulletin Boards or Online Services or 
recipes which have been scanned and converted to text with Optical 
Character Recognition (OCR).

QBook is shareware.  To register, please send $20 US to:

*B H_OV_MAINMENU,Overview: The Main Menu

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: Adding Recipes^

When Qbook starts, you are presented with the Main Menu as follows:

                          ^QBook Main Menu^

                          ^Add a recipe^
                          ^Display a recipe^
                          ^Print an index^
                          ^Search for recipes^
                          ^View all of the Titles^
                          ^Import recipes^
                          ^Configuration options^
                          ^Exit the program^

*P

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: Adding Recipes^

There are several ways to use the menu.  The simplest is to press
the highlighted letter as in "A" for add a recipe.  The second
method is to use the arrow keys to move the highlighted bar to a
menu selection and then press the enter key.  The final way is to
use your mouse to make you selection.  Just click on your choice.

*P

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: Adding Recipes^

 F1:Turn HELP MODE on     AltF1:Screen Help                 F10:Status 

At the bottom of the screen you will see the above menu.  F1 turns
the help feature on and off.  For experienced users, I recommend
leaving the help feature off.  The program runs faster without it.

Holding down the Alt key and pressing F1 simultaneously gives you
screen help.  In other words, it gives help for what you see on the
screen.

Press F10 will give you registration information and tell you how
many recipes are in the data base.

Now let's cover each of the commands on the main menu.

*E
*B H_OV_ADD_REC,Overview: Adding Recipes

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: Displaying Recipes^

The main menu choice ^Add a recipe^ is used to add a recipe to your 
database. 

QBook starts the text editor with a template for adding new recipes.  

Title:
Keywords:

These are the tags QBook uses for searching for recipes and you should
always fill them in.  Each recipe can have only one title, and up to 100
keywords.  Separate the keywords with commas, and if you need more than
one line of keywords, just add a new line starting with the 'Keyword: ' 
tag.
*E
*B H_OV_DSP_REC,Overview: Displaying Recipes

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: Printing an Index^

The main menu choice ^Display a recipe^ is used when you know the specific
recipe number you want to display.

If you don't know the recipe number, you should use ^Search for recipes^
or ^View all of the Titles^, either of which allow you to select from
a list of titles.
*E
*B H_OV_PRT_IDX,Overview: Printing an Index

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: Searching^ for Recipes

The main menu choice ^Print an index^ is used to print an index of all of 
your recipes.  When you select it you are given the prompt:

 "Index type (Title, Keyword, Combined)?"

Press the letter "T" and Qbook will produce a list of the recipes in
the database sorted by titles only.  Pressing the letter "K" will
produce a list sorted by Keywords.  Pressing the letter "C" will
produce a list sorted by both titles and keywords.

Next you will be prompted to choose either to send the list to your
printer or a file.  The default file name is Recipe.Prn which can be
changed to what ever file name you choose.

*E
*B H_OV_SRCH,Overview: Searching

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: Viewing Titles^
Press the right arrow then Enter to continue with:
  ^Overview: The Titles Screen^

The main menu choice ^Search for recipes^ is used to narrow the list of
recipes you want to see.  Selecting it will give you the following menu:

Quick search [Y]    Search Titles [Y]   Search Keywords [Y]
Search for:

Each option can be changed to "N" for No.  For instance, change the
Search Titles to [N] and Qbook will search on Keywords only.

Quick Search means that QBook will only match the search if what you
enter is at the beginning of the title or keyword.  For example, if
you are using Quick Search, "Chicken" would match "Chicken Stir
Fry", but not "Baked Chicken".
*P

Press Enter to continue with: ^Overview: Viewing Titles^
Press the right arrow then Enter to continue with:
   ^Overview: The Titles Screen^

If you put some thought into the keywords you use for each recipe,
such as putting the keyword "Chicken" in a recipe with a title
"Baked Chicken", you should be able to use Quick Search most of the
time when searching for recipes.

After the "Search for:" prompt type what you want to look for ie:
beef.  Qbook will give you a list of all recipes with beef in the
title or keywords.  If you leave this blank Qbook will give you a
list of all recipes in your database.

*E
*B H_add,Add a recipe

 A "recipe" to QBook can be anything at all.  It doesn't need to
 be instructions for preparing a food item.  For example, if you
 have a lot of cookbooks with favorite recipes, rather than
 typing them into QBook you can simply add a "recipe" that is a
 reference to the page number in your cookbook.  This way you
 can utilize the searching capabilities of QBook without having
 to type in recipes that you already have somewhere else.

 Other ideas are to store conversion tables or titles of
 cookbooks that you'd like to find someday.  QBook makes them
 easy to find when you need them.

 To add a recipe, simply choose the option from the main menu.

*P

 When you add a recipe, QBook creates a temporary file called
 RECIPE##.###, where ##,### is the number of the recipe being
 created.  If you create a file named TEMPLATE.QBK and place it
 in your data directory, QBook will use that as a template
 (everything in it will be copied to your new recipe prior to
 loading the editor) when you create a new recipe.  If it is not
 found, QBook will put create a file with a "Title:" line and a
 "Keyword:" line for you.

*B H_editor,QBook's Recipe Editor

Unless you have configured an external editor, QBook will use its
internal editor for adding and editing recipes.  This is a fairly
simple editor, but it should be sufficient for most users.  The
editor will automatically wrap text at the column number you
specified when you chose the internal editor (column 75 if you
never changed it).  The internal editor understands the following
keys:

*P
Movement:

   Arrow keys: Move the cursor one character up, down, left or
               right
   Ctrl-right
   Ctrl-left:  Move the cursor left or right one word
   Home/End:   Move the cursor to the beginning or end of the
               current line
   PgUp/PgDn:  Move to the next/previous page of the recipe
   Ctrl-PgUp
   Ctrl-PgDn:  Move to the beginning or end of the recipe

*P
Deletion:

   Backspace:  Delete the character immediately to the left of
               the cursor
   Del:        Delete the character under the cursor
   Ctrl-End:   Delete from the cursor to the end of the current
               line
   Ctrl-Y:     Delete the current line
   Ctrl-T:     Delete the word to the right of the cursor
   Ctrl-R:     Delete the word to the left of the cursor
   Ins:        Toggle between overtype and insert modes

*P
Other:

   F7:         Record a sequence of keystrokes (F7 again to stop
               recording)
   F8:         Playback the recorded sequence of keystrokes
   Alt-B:      Reformat the current paragraph to the margins
               specified in the configuration
   Alt-S:      Save the recipe
   Alt-X/Esc:  Quit the editor, prompt to save if the current
               recipe is unsaved.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_enter,Entering Recipes

 One of QBook's advantages is that recipes can be formatted any
 way you desire.  In order to index your recipes, however, QBook
 requires that you type in a title and keywords for the recipe.

 The first thing you should do is type in the title of the
 recipe you are adding.  If you want to take advantage of
 QBook's indexing and searching capabilities, the next thing you
 should do is add keywords, which are used by QBook to search
 for a recipe.  You do this by typing "Keywords: " (if it isn't
 already there) on line two and then typing in your keywords
 separated by commas.  If you have too many keywords to fit on a
 line (80 characters across), just add another line beginning
 with "Keywords: ".   Do not put a comma at the end of a
 keywords line, even if there are more keywords on the next
 line.

*P

 Choosing keywords carefully makes it much easier for you to
 find the recipe you are looking for.  QBook doesn't have the
 capability to search ingredients or the text of the recipe, so
 it is a good idea to list major ingredients as keywords.  The
 best way to choose keywords is to think in terms of an index in
 a cookbook:  What would you look under if you wanted to find
 this recipe and couldn't remember the title?  You can have as
 many keywords as you want.  Only the first 60 characters of a
 keywords or title are indexed.

 Once you have entered your title and keywords, all you need to
 do is type in your recipe.  Each line of your recipe should be
 less than 80 characters.  Once you are done, save the file and
 exit the editor.  QBook will add the recipe to the index and
 move the temporary recipe file into a compressed data file and
 then delete it.

*E
*B H_display,Display a recipe
 To display a recipe, choose the option from the main menu, type
 the recipe number and press Enter.  You can also display
 recipes from the ^Title View Screen^ by selecting the desired
 title  with the arrow keys and choosing Display from the menu

 Also see ^Recipe Display Screen^

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_rec_disp_scr,Recipe Display Screen

 When a recipe is displayed, the title, recipe number and keywords are
 displayed on top.  This header information does not scroll, the rest of
 the recipe can be scrolled with the Up, Down, PGUP and PGDN, Home and
 End keys.  The Up and Down arrow keys scroll up or down one line at a
 time, PGUP and PGDN scroll a whole page at a time.  Home displays the
 first page of the recipe, End displays the last.

 A flashing '*' next to the title of the recipe indicates that there are
 more than one recipe with the same title in the database (see Locating
 Duplicate Recipes).  A flashing '+' at the end of the keywords line
 indicates that there are more keywords than can be displayed on a
 single line.

 The bottom two lines of the display screen are a menu listing the
 display options.  The options are as follows:
*P

 Edit:      Edit the displayed recipe with the editor.  This
            option allows you to make changes to the displayed
            recipe.  When you exit the editor, QBook will update
            its indexes and replace the old copy of the recipe in
            the compressed data file.
 Print:     Print the displayed recipe.  QBook will prompt you
            for the printer setup to use and the output device or
            file to send the recipe to.  See Configuring QBook
            for information on printer setups.
 Export:    Write the displayed recipe to a disk file with begin
            and end markers so that it can be easily imported
            into another QBook database and/or posted to an
            electronic Bulletin Board.
 Keywords:  Display all of the keywords in the recipe and allow
            you to add, delete or change them.
*P
 Title:     Edit the title of the recipe.
 Delete:    Delete the displayed recipe from the database.  You
            will be asked to verify the deletion.
 + and -:   These options only appear when you choose display
            from the ^Title View Screen^.  They allow you to step
            through the list of titles without returning to the
            Title View Screen between recipes.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_index,Print an index
 There are three types of indexes that can be printed:  titles, keywords
 and combined.  The title index lists all titles in alphabetical order,
 along with the recipe numbers (which are assigned in order as you add
 or import recipes).

 The keyword index lists the titles alphabetically, but grouped by
 keywords.  For example: The keyword "Candies" would be listed followed
 by an indented list of the titles of all recipes containing that
 keyword.  Recipe titles are ONLY listed under the appropriate keywords.

 The combined index, as the name suggests, is a combination of the
 keyword index and the title index.  The combined index resembles a good
 cookbook index where you can look up either a keyword or a title.
 Titles appear in boldface in the alphabetical listing along with the
 keywords, they also appear in the indented list of each keyword that
 the recipe is indexed under.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_viewall,View all of the Titles

 View all of the Titles will display QBook's ^Title View Screen^
 with all recipes displayed.  This screen consists of a list of
 recipe titles with a menu across the bottom.  Choosing this
 option is identical to choosing ^Search for Recipes^ and entering
 a blank search string.


For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_search,Search for recipes

 Search for Recipes will Display a popup window which allows you to
 enter a search string and modify the search options.  The search string
 is a word or partial word that you want QBook to locate in the index.
 A blank search string matches all of the recipes and is identical to
 choosing View all of the Titles from the main menu.  Once your search
 is complete, the ^Title View Screen^ will be displayed.  You have three
 options when searching the index:

     ^Quick Search^
     ^Search Titles^
     ^Search Keywords^
*E
*B H_quicksearch,Quick Search
 Quick search uses a very fast  search method to find recipes.  However,
 only those recipes where the search string matches the beginning of a
 title or keyword will be matched.  For example, if you search on
 "Chicken", "Chicken Stir Fry" would match, but "Stir Fried Chicken"
 would not.  Careful use of keywords can give you the speed advantage of
 Quick Search and still give you flexible searches. For example, if you
 gave "Stir Fried Chicken" a keyword of "Chicken" it would have matched
 in the above example.

 If you turn Quick Search Off, QBook examines each entry in the index
 and matches all recipes where the search string appears anywhere in the
 title or keyword.  In the above example, Full Search WOULD match "Stir
 Fried Chicken, even if you didn't give it a keyword of "Chicken". Full
 Search is much slower than quick search, but gives you more matches if
 the keywords are not detailed enough.

 You may return to ^Search for Recipes^ or continue with ^Search Titles^

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_searchtitles,Search Titles
 This option tells QBook to include a recipe when its title matches the
 search.  This is normally set to Yes.

 You may return to ^Search for Recipes^ or continue with ^Search Keywords^

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_searchkwds,Search Keywords

 This option tells QBook to include a recipe when one of its keywords
 matches the search. This is normally set to yes.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_import,Import recipes

 When you choose the Import Recipes option from the main menu, you will
 be prompted for a file name to import.  Once you have entered a file
 name, the ^Import screen^ will be displayed.

 Importing and exporting provide an easy way of exchanging recipes.
 When you export a recipe, QBook writes the recipe, its title and all
 its keywords into a file along with lines that mark the beginning and
 end of the recipe.  The markers are necessary because one file can
 contain many exported recipes and QBook needs to be able to tell where
 one recipe ends and another begins.  An exported recipe isn't formatted
 in any special way, aside from the begin and end markers.

 Exporting provides an easy way to exchange recipes.  Just give a file
 of exported recipes to someone, either on floppy disks or by uploading
 to a computer bulletin board system (BBS), and that person can quickly
 import all of the recipes into his or her copy of QBook.  Exported
 recipes can also be posted as messages on a computer BBS and other
 users can save them and import them.
*P

 Importing is the complement of exporting.  When you import a recipe,
 QBook reads a file that has been exported by someone else and adds the
 recipe to your database without you having to type the recipe in.

 QBook understands the export format of several recipe databases, but
 sometimes you will need to interactively import recipes by telling
 QBook where a recipe begins and ends. QBook allows you to either
 quickly import all delimited recipes in a file, or to scan through a
 text file and interactively mark and edit keywords and titles prior to
 importing a recipe.

*B H_impscreen,Import Screen

 The import screen can be in several different modes, depending on the
 previous options you have chosen you may be in Scan mode, Clip mode, or
 Recipe Display mode.

 The following options are common to all of the modes:

 Find:   Find the next recipe which is delimited with begin and end
         markers.
 Begin:  Make the cursor line the first line of the recipe, clipping out
         all lines above it.
 End:    Make the cursor line the last line of the recipe, clipping out
         all lines below it.
 Global: Import all delimited recipes in the import file starting at the
         cursor location.  If a recipe is currently being displayed in
         recipe display mode, it will be imported even if the cursor is
         not at the top of the recipe.
*P

 Scan mode is the mode you are in when you fist see the Import screen.
 The entire import file can be scrolled by using the cursor keys.  You
 have the following additional option when in Scan Mode:

 Remember:    This is used if you want QBook to include a line of text
              that is not included in the delimited part of the recipe.
              For example, if you are importing recipes captured from a
              BBS and want to remember who posted the recipe, you could
              "Remember" the From line of the message and QBook would
              append it to the recipe when you import it.  The
              remembered line is displayed at the bottom of the screen,
              just above the menu bar.  To delete a remembered line,
              simply "Remember" a blank line.
*P

 QBook enters Clip Mode when you have marked either the beginning or end
 of a recipe, but not both.  In addition to the options listed above,
 you also have the following new option:

 Unmark:      This option will return you to scan mode, again
              allowing you to view the entire import file.

 Finally, Recipe View Mode is entered when you have either used the
 "Find" function to locate a delimited recipe, or you have marked both
 begin and end lines of a recipe.  The "Remember" option is not
 available, but the "Unmark" option is.  You also have the following new
 options:

 Keywords:    Display all of the keywords in the recipe and allow you to
              add, delete or change them.
 Title:       Edit the title of the displayed recipe.

*E
*B H_titleview,Title View Screen

 On the Title View screen, you can use the up and down arrow
 keys, the PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys to move through the
 list.  Home and End will move you to the top or bottom recipe
 on the current screen.  If pressed a second time, they will
 move you to the first or last recipe respectively.  You may
 also move directly to a recipe by typing in its number.

 Pressing the space bar will mark or unmark the currently
 highlighted recipe so that you can perform a function on a
 group of recipes at the same time.

 Your menu choices are as follows:
*P
 Display:     Display the currently highlighted recipe.
 Print:       Print all marked recipes. QBook will prompt you for the
              printer setup to use and the output device or file to send
              the recipes to.  See Configuring QBook for information on
              printer setups.  If no recipes are marked, the currently
              highlighted recipe will be printed.
 Export:      Write all of the marked recipes to a disk file with begin
              and end markers so that they can be easily imported into
              another QBook database and/or posted to an electronic
              Bulletin Board..  If no recipes are marked, the currently
              highlighted recipe will be exported.
 Delete:      Delete all of the marked recipes from the database (you
              will have an opportunity to cancel).  If no recipes are
              marked, the currently highlighted recipe will be deleted.
 Mark:        Mark all recipes in the list so they can be printed,
              exported or deleted.
 UnMark:      Unmark all marked recipes.
*P
 Search:   The search option allows you to narrow or broaden the
           your list of recipes by searching on additional
           keywords/titles.  The search options will be the same
           as those you used the last time you chose Search for
           Recipes from the main menu.  You have three search
           methods:

     AND: An AND search will narrow the list to all the recipes
          in the current search group that also match the also
          match the new search string.
     OR:  An OR search will expand the list by searching the
          whole QBook index and adding all recipes that match the
          new search string to the currently displayed list.
     NOT: A NOT search will locate all recipes in the currently
          displayed list that match the search string and remove
          them from the currently displayed list.
*P
 Flag
 UnFlag:   This option is used to toggle marking of  potential
           duplicate recipes with a flashing '*'.  You may then
           use the '*' menu option to locate all recipes with the
           same title and display them to determine if they are
           indeed duplicates.
 *:        This option is only available when in duplicate
           flagging mode.  If you press it when a recipe marked
           with a flashing '*' is highlighted, you will be shown a
           list of all recipes that have that title.
 0-9:      Typing a number will pop up a prompt asking you for the
           recipe number to jump to.  If the recipe is in the
           current list, the list will scroll immediately to that
           recipe.

*B H_cfg,Configuration Options

 This is the QBook's Configuration Menu.  Selection the option you
 desire a description of:

            ^Display Options^
            ^Printer Configuration^
            ^Editor Options^
            ^Recipe Storage Options^
            ^Data File Directories^
            ^QBook Utilities^
            ^Registration Information^


For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_dsp_opt,Display Options

 The Display Options menu choice allows you to choose between three
 built in color schemes (one monochrome and two color) or to create
 your own.  You may also set options to prevent "snow" on a CGA display
 or to force video to be in BIOS mode, which may solve compatibility
 problems with older multitaskers or speech equipment.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_prt_cfg,Printer Configuration

 The Printer Configuration menu choice allows you to set up descriptions
 and formatting sequences for up to five "printers".  A printer is any
 output device, including files on disk or the display.  The default
 configuration has four pre- configured printers - Epson on LPT1, HP
 laser on LPT2, disk file and screen.  You may need to change the
 printer ports if your system differs.  QBook also allows you to change
 the output device each time you print something.  This would allow you
 to print an index with HP Laser escape sequences to a disk file, for
 example, without requiring a separate printer setup for  both printer
 and disk.

 QBook always expects to be able to print 80 columns across, if you make
 any changes to the standard printer configuration, make sure your paper
 width, margins and print pitch provide 80 columns for text.
*P
 The following configuration options are available:

 Description: This is the name of the printer configuration you are
              editing.  All available printer setups will be presented
              in a popup menu whenever you print a recipe or index.
 Output to:   This tells QBook where to send the printout.  It may be a
              printer port (PRN, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1, COM2...), a
              disk file (RECIPE.PRN, INDEX.PRN) or it may be left blank.
              If left blank, output will be displayed on the screen.
 Page Length: This is the number of lines the printer is capable of
              printing on a single sheet of paper.  It tells QBook where
              to put the page breaks.  If you do not want page breaks,
              set this to zero.  If you are printing to the screen, this
              option is ignored.
 Margins
 Top/Bottom:  This tells QBook how many lines to leave at the top and
              bottom of each page.
*P
 Init
 DeInit:      These are the printer codes QBook sends before starting
              the printout and after printing is complete.  These might
              be used to switch a printer into and out of compressed
              type mode to print on recipe cards, for example.  Printer
              codes must be entered as ASCII values separated by spaces.
              For example,. ESC-B would be entered as "27 66".
 Bold On
 Bold Off:    These are the printer codes QBook sends to print text in
              bold and to turn bold off.  As with Init and DeInit, they
              should be entered as ASCII values separated by spaces.

*E
*B H_ed_opt,Editor Options

  This option allows you to specify the editor QBook will start when you
  want to edit or add recipes.  Unless you change this option, QBook
  will use its own built in editor.  Your other choices are to use
  MS-DOS's EDIT or SemWare's Qedit.  You can also specify the editor of
  your choice by selecting "Customized Editor".

  To enter a customized editor, enter the command you normally type to
  start your editor except replace the file name with a "%F".  For
  example, if your editor is called "B", you would enter "B %F" and
  QBook would then start "B" when you want to edit a recipe.  If your
  editor is not in your system path, you need to specify the fully
  qualified path so that QBook can find it.  For example, if B.EXE is in
  the directory c:\editor, you would enter "C:\EDITOR\B.EXE %F" as your
  editor command.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_rec_stg_opt,Recipe Storage Options

  These options tell QBook how to store your recipe files. Unless you
  change things, QBook will store your recipes in files of 100 recipes
  each, using its own internal compression routines.  The compression
  technique QBook uses is very fast and does a fairly good job of
  compressing text files.  Overall, you should see a 25-30% reduction in
  size.

  If you are using "disk doubling" technology such as Stacker or
  DoubleSpace, you will probably gain better compression and better
  performance by turning off compression completely.  You should see
  about a 50% compression ratio or better.
*P
  If you are not using a program like Stacker or DoubleSpace, and you
  would like to save more disk space than you do with QBook's internal
  compression, you can use an external data compression program such as
  PKZIP, LHARC or ARJ.  These programs can achieve 30-50% data
  compression, but performance may suffer significantly.  QBook comes
  with options for each of the three compression programs mentioned
  above, or you can use another by choosing the Customized Compression
  option from the menu and entering the appropriate commands.

  You will need to enter the commands needed to get or extract a
  file from the archive, put a file into an archive, move a file
  into an archive (deleting the original) and delete a file from
  an archive.  You will also need to enter the default file
  extension used by the archive program you are configuring.
*P
  For each command, replace the name of the archive file with a
  %A and the name of the file being worked with with a %F.  You
  might want to choose one of the preconfigured commands and
  modify it to use your program instead.
  As with the editor command, if the program is not in your
  system path, you need to enter the fully qualified path name.

  You may also choose to change the number of recipes QBook
  stores in each compressed file.  Your choices are 20, 50, 100,
  200 and 1000.  Smaller files tend to be faster (especially with
  external compression programs) but have more overhead, which
  may reduce their compression ratio.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_file_dir,Data File Directories

  Choosing this option allows you to tell QBook where to put its data
  files.  Usually, these directories would be subdirectories below
  QBook's main directory.  The three types of files QBook needs to store
  are Datafiles, which are the main index files and QBook's help files,
  the Work files, which are files created during a QBook session but
  which are not permanent (a RAM disk is a good choice for a Work
  Directory), and Archive files, which are the files QBook uses to store
  recipes in compressed form.

  If you make changes, QBook will create the directories if necessary,
  and ask if you'd like to move the existing files to their new
  location.  Normally you would choose Yes, unless you have previously
  moved them yourself.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_qbk_util,QBook Utilities

 The QBook utilities are used to repair or rebuild an index if you start
 having problems with your database.  Normally, this will not be nec-
 essary, but if you lose power during the middle of a disk operation, or
 have a partial disk failure, you may need to repair your index files.

 The Repair option simply checks the index files for possible problems
 and attempts to fix them.  It does not compare the index files to the
 actual recipe files.

 The Rebuild option will completely re-create the index files by looking
 at each recipe file and re-indexing it as if you had just added it to
 your database.

 The Keyword Maintenance option allows you to edit change all occur-
 rences of one keyword to another.  For example, if you have some rec-
 ipes with the keyword "Chicken" and some with the keyword "Poultry" and
 want to change them all to "Poultry", this is where you would do so.

*B h_reg_info,Registration Information

  Once you have registered QBook, you can enter your name and
  registration key here, and QBook will stop nagging you to register
  every time you start the program.  It will still display a status
  screen each time you start it, but any key will bypass the screen.
  You may also put anything on the command line and the screen will not
  be displayed at all once you have registered.

For additional topics, highlight "^Help Index^" and press enter.
*E
*B H_help,Using QBook Help

  QBook has two levels of help. "Help Mode", which can be turned on and
  off using the F1 key, gives you a brief description of each menu
  option on the main set of popup menus.

  QBook also has a fairly extensive context-sensitive help system which
  provides help for each of the functions QBook provides. Much of the
  help information duplicates what is found in the user's guide, but is
  much more accessible.

  Unless QBook is busy printing or reading or writing to the disk, the
  Alt-F1 key combination will almost always pop up a help screen.  Many
  help screens have more than one page, and you can see additional
  information by pressing the Page Down (marked PGDN) key.  Each help
  screen is linked to related help topics, you can select the topic you
  wish to view with the arrow keys and then press ENTER.
*P
  Part of the help system is an Overview of QBook.  This overview gives
  you a brief description of each of QBook's features.  It is
  recommended that you read the overview before using QBook for the
  first time.

  The Help Index is selectable from all of the help screens except the
  overview screens and lists all of the help topics that are available.
