INSTALLATION:

  To install Liberty BASIC, first make sure that you are not
  running Windows.  The program INSTALL.EXE is included with
  Liberty BASIC to install it for you.  
  
  Run this program, and you will be asked where Windows resides.  
  The default is C:\WINDOWS.  If Windows resides anywhere else, 
  you must specify it here.

  Now you will be asked where to install Liberty BASIC.  The
  default is C:\LIBERTY.  If you want it to be installed elsewhere,
  then you must specify it here.

  You will then be given an opportunity to abort the installation.
  If you choose not to abort, then installation will begin then.

  Once installation is complete, you may load Windows.  If you
  specified any directory to install Liberty BASIC into other than
  \LIBERTY, then you will need to alter the properties for the
  Liberty BASIC icon to indicate where it is installed.  Otherwise
  you can just go ahead and double-click on its icon to start
  Liberty BASIC.

 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | Known bugs:  Windows tries to match fonts more or less with size being  |
 | more important than the name of the font.  When Liberty BASIC loads, it |
 | tries to get a font of a certain size.  On some systems, this ends up   |
 | being the Symbol font, which is unusable.  If your system does this,    |
 | then pull down the System menu and select "Fonts...", then find a font  |
 | that suits your taste best.                                             |

  Liberty BASIC starts with a file browser window.  It is arranged as
  four panes, three across the top, and one on the bottom like so:

  +--------------------------------------------------------------+
  | -                  Liberty BASIC  c:\liberty             v ^ |

  |                    |                    |                    |
  | select drive here  | select directory   | select file here   |
  |                    | here               |                    |

  |                                                              |
  |                                                              |
  |                                                              |

  |                                                              |
  |                                                              |
  |                                                              |
  |                                                              |
  +--------------------------------------------------------------+

 Select the drive to browse in pane [1], then select the directory
 (usually liberty) to browse in pane [2], then finally the file to 
 browse in pane [3].  When the .BAS file is selected, its source will 
 be displayed in pane [4].  To run the program, position the cursor
 inside of pane [3] and press the right hand mouse button and a menu
 will appear.  Then select the item BASIC source editor, and a new
 window will open which will contain a copy of the source for the
 selected file.  Then position the cursor inside of that pane and again 
 press the right hand mouse button for another menu.  There are two 
 options available, Run and Debug.  Run compiles and runs the program, 
 and Debug provides the additional benefit of a 3 level source level
 debugger with optional watch window (v 0.9 let's you do this in
 pane 4 without opening a seperate BASIC source editor).

 If you want help, you can get this on-line by pulling down the Help
 menu and selecting either Liberty BASIC Notes, or Command Reference.
 If you select a word in the source editor and then select help, the
 system will try to find that word or command in the text.


 HINT for 286 users with only 3 megabytes of RAM:
 ---------------------------------------------------
 3 megabytes RAM is very tight for Liberty BASIC when
 running in Standard Mode.  If low memory errors make
 Liberty BASIC unusable, try to free up as much extended
 memory as possible.  If all else fails, try this:

   Run Windows ;
   Run Liberty BASIC ;
   Exit Liberty BASIC ;
   Run Liberty BASIC again

 As strange a ritual as this may seem, it does something
 to the way Liberty BASIC manages its memory, making
 those low memory errors much less trouble.  We cannot
 guarantee that this trick will work on your system.
