Functions:

    ESC - Exit to DOS:  Terminates the  Form Master program.  Two  consecutive
	  pushes of  this key  are required.   If  the current  form has  been
	  edited but not saved, you are reminded of this after the first  push
	  of ESC.  If you  push ESC once by accident,  press any other key  to
	  cancel and resume with the program.

    F1  - Help:  Displays on-screen help.

    F2  - Create Form:  Starts the  form editor with a  blank screen so a  new
	  form can be  built.   Before the editor  is started,  a pop-up  menu
	  appears showing all  the form control  parameters (described  below)
	  such as the number of rows, columns, etc.  Modify them as needed and
	  then press F2 again to start editing.

	  Note:  Use F3 instead to continue editing an existing form.

    F3  - Edit Form:  Starts the form  editor with the current form, one  that
	  has been previously  loaded using  F5 or  F7, or  created using  F2.
	  Before the editor is started, a pop-up menu appears showing all  the
	  form control  parameters (described  below) such  as the  number  of
	  rows, columns, etc.  Modify them  as needed, then press F3 again  to
	  begin editing.

    F4  - Execute Form:  Executes the current form you have created or  loaded
	  from disk.  Executing  a form allows  you to fill  in fields on  the
	  form and/or print the form.

    F5  - Load Form from Disk:   Retrieves a form from  disk and places it  in
	  memory so it may be edited  (F3 and F9), executed (F4), or  exported
	  (F8).  The form must have been previously saved on disk (F6).

	  After pressing F5, a pop-up menu appears prompting you to enter  the
	  name of a form.  A form name such as "INVOICE" can be entered on the
	  first line.  It is not  necessary to enter the form name  extension,
	  ".FRM".  On the  second input line, you  can specify where the  form
	  resides - a  different drive or  directory.  Leave  the second  line
	  blank to use  the current  directory.  Press  F5 again  to load  the
	  form.

	  Alternately, you  can press  F10 after  pressing F5  once to  see  a
	  directory list of  forms.  Selection  of the form  is made with  the
	  arrow keys and  pressing enter.   If the second  line of the  pop-up
	  menu is  blank,  the current  directory  is used.    Otherwise,  the
	  directory specified is used.

    F6  - Save/Update Form to Disk:  Writes the currently loaded (or  created)
	  form to a disk file.  A  pop-up menu appears prompting you to  enter
	  the name of the form.  Enter the  name on the first input line.   It
	  is not necessary to  include the form name  extension, ".FRM".   The
	  second input  line can  be  used to  specify  a different  drive  or
	  directory other than the current one to place the file.

	  Be sure  to use  F6 to  save your  editing work,  even if  you  just
	  changed the default number of copies to print and did not change the
	  form contents.

    F7  - Import Form from Edit File:  Reads a file and places it in memory in
	  a form format.  A pop-up menu appears prompting you  to enter a file
	  name. Importing  means you  can create  a form  using your  favorite
	  editor or word processor (some  restrictions apply) and use it  with
	  this program.

    F8  - Export Form to Edit File:  Writes  the current form in memory to  an
	  edit file.  A pop-up menu appears prompting you to enter a file name

    F9  - Advanced Form Features:  This allows you to add or edit the  current
	  advanced features defined for the  form.  Advanced features  provide
	  the capability to  re-define function  keys, to  define fields  with
	  word wrap, justification, look-up tables, and math operations.

    F10 - Temporarily Go To DOS:   Starts a DOS shell  and you will receive  a
	  DOS prompt.   This does  not terminate  Form Master,  it remains  in
	  memory.  Use this to perform DOS functions such as DIR, TYPE,  etc.,
	  or to even  run another program.   To return  to Form Master,  enter
	  "EXIT" at a DOS prompt.

Form Control Parameters:

Form control parameters appear on a pop-up menu when you press F2 to create  a
form or F3 to edit a form.   These parameters determine the size of the  form,
the type of  fields that text  can be  entered into when  executing, the  form
number, and form printing  controls.  Modify them  as required for your  form.
The current values are displayed in  inverse video fields in the pop-up  menu.
Simply type over any values that are to  be modified.  The cursor shows  where
you are typing.  You  can move from one value  to the next using the  "Enter",
"Tab", and "Backtab" keys.  "Home" moves you  to the first value and "End"  to
the last.  To begin editing, press F2 or F3 a second time.

While in the  editor, pressing "ESC"  re-displays this pop-up  menu.  You  can
return to the main menu by pressing "ESC"  a second time, or you can change  a
control parameter such as the number of rows, then press F3 to resume editing.

To change only the form sequence number of a form, load the form and press  F3
to display the pop-up menu.   Tab to the "Form  Number" field and enter a  new
value.  Press "ESC"  to return to the  main menu.  Don't  forget to save  your
work by using F6 to update the form on disk.

Following is a description of each of the menu control fields.

  Number Of Rows             The number of lines in  the form.  Functions  F2,
			     F3, F4, F6, and F8  use this to limit the  number
			     of lines in  the form.   If you  need more  lines
			     while editing, press "ESC" to display this pop-up
			     menu, increase  this  number, then  press  F3  to
			     resume editing.  The number or rows may vary from
			     1 to 132 (2 pages).

  Number Of Columns          The number of  columns is used  ONLY BY THE  FORM
			     EXECUTOR (F4)  to  limit the  number  of  columns
			     printed.  This number may vary from 20 to 133.

  Input Fields Attributes    THESE  FOUR  FIELDS  ARE  USED  TO  SPECIFY   THE
			     ATTRIBUTES OF  FIELDS  WHERE  THE  FORM  EXECUTOR
			     ALLOWS TEXT TO BE ENTERED.   See the Form  Editor
			     for more information.

  Form Number                The sequence number of the form.  This number can
			     be automatically entered  onto your  form by  the
			     form executor.  It  is incremented each time  you
			     print the form.   It can help  you keep track  of
			     the number  of  times  you  have  filled  in  and
			     printed a form.   The example  invoice form  uses
			     the form number  as the invoice  number which  is
			     filled in  automatically each  time the  form  is
			     executed.

  Line Feeds After Printing  The number of blank  lines to add  to the end  of
			     your form after  it has  been printed.   This  is
			     used (1) to  align the paper  in your printer  to
			     the next form  if you have  continuous forms,  or
			     (2) to eject the form you have just printed  from
			     your printer.

  Number Of Copies To Print  This is  the default  number of  copies to  print
			     when the form  executor prints a  form.  You  can
			     override this default at print time.

  Pre-printed Form           Specifies if non-input portions of your form  are
			     to be  printed.   For  printing on  blank  pages,
			     enter "N"  here.   For  printing  on  pre-printed
			     forms, enter "Y" so  only the input fields  (what
			     has been typed) are printed.
