******************** HELP FOR "FILES TO INDEX" MENU ***********************
***************************************************************************

QUICK START: See the end of the HELP screen in the "Generate Index" Menu.

OVERVIEW: The "Files to Index" Menu includes options which enable you to
          tell INDEX! which text files you want it to use for the insertion
          of indexing codes. Filenames may be specified manually or
          selected from a screen display. Individual menu options follow:

PUBLICATIONS: This option searches for all Ventura .PUB files located
              in your default directory, and displays them on the screen
              so that you can select the ones that contain chapters and
              text files that you wish to index. Up to 200 files can be
              displayed in a single session; ordinarily one .PUB file
              will be selected, although it is possible to index more
              than one at a time if they share the same indexable terms.
              Once a publication has been selected, the chapters in that
              publication are displayed as preselected, so that you can
              deselect any that you do not wish to index. After you have
              approved the chapters list, the screen will change to
              display all of the text files in those chapters which
              have extensions matching the defaults you specified. All
              will be selected, so you can deselect any you do not wish
              to index. You may choose up to 100 files in each session.

              When you exit from the files list, your choices
              are preserved for the current indexing session, and you
              are given the option of saving them to disk as well.

CHAPTERS: This option searches for all Ventura chapter files located in
          your default directory and displays them on the screen so that
          you can select the ones which contain text files that you wish 
          to index. Up to 200 files can be displayed in a single session
          and up to 100 may be selected for indexing. After selecting
          the chapters, the screen will change to display all of the
          text files in those chapters which have extensions matching
          the defaults you specified. All will be selected, so you can
          deselect any you do not wish to index. You may choose up to
          100 files in each session.

          When you exit from the files list, your choices are preserved
          for the current indexing session, and you are given the option
          of saving them to disk as well.

          NOTE: All text files must be in ASCII form (.CAP files
          are already in ASCII form), so it may be necessary to use
          Ventura's File Type/Rename option to convert word processor
          files to 8-Bit ASCII (see Appendix B of the Manual).

LOAD SPEC FILE: With this option you can load an INDEX! specification file
                which contains the names of files to be indexed, as saved
                in an earlier session. The filenames are automatically
                loaded into memory for indexing.

DISK:DIRECTORY: Use this option to override the disk and directory
                settings in the DEFAULTS section of the "Generate Index"
                Menu. Upon start-up, this option is set to the default
                disk and directory specified in DEFAULTS. Changing the
                setting here enables you to index files from another disk
                and/or directory without changing the default settings.
                For the current session only, the new disk/directory
                specified becomes the default.

MANUAL ENTRY: If the files you wish to index are drawn from a wide variety
              of directories (or for any other reason), you can enter all
              the filenames here by hand. When finished, you can save the 
              filenames to an INDEX! specification file. In either case,
              the filenames entered here are loaded into memory for
              indexing.

EDIT FILENAMES: With this option you can review the names of all files
                selected for indexing, regardless of how they were loaded
                (CHAPTERS and FILES options, LOAD SPEC FILE, or MANUAL
                ENTRY). Any files which INDEX! can't find will be marked
                for deletion, alerting you to possible problems. You can
                either remove the deletion markers (presuming that you
                are going to restore the missing files) or leave these
                files marked for deletion, in which case their names
                will be deleted from INDEX!'s list of files to be indexed
                in memory (and, if desired, from your specification file).
                If you have made typographical errors in MANUAL ENTRY or
                in a specification file made up in a text editor, or if
                you have changed the names of some files, you can edit
                the names here. You can also save any changes to your
                specification file, if appropriate.

HELP: This option provides the on-screen information which you are now
      reading.

MORE HELP: If you would like to have more help online relating to the
           FILES TO INDEX menu, you can edit the file "INFILMEN.HLP" in
           any ASCII text editor, adding to or reshaping the material as
           you see fit up to a maximum file size of 64K. Use spaces rather
           than tabs to indent, limit line lengths to 76 characters, and
           end each and every line with a carriage return.
