    ^1PC GOURMET^0 is a database management program that allows you to store 
 your favorite recipes on disk for viewing, editing, or printing as often as 
 you wish! Special features include its ability to print recipe ingredients as 
 shopping lists, a special cooking timer, and a few sample recipes. You may 
 want to experiment with the sample recipes to become familiar with the 
 program, then delete them when you are ready to enter your own -- or keep them 
 if you like them!
 
    Retrieval of recipes in PC GOURMET is very fast because the database file
 is indexed by the title you select for your recipe. You may place each new 
 recipe in a category of your own choosing or in one of the 34 default 
 categories supplied by PC GOURMET. Think of these categories as the file 
 dividers you might find in a recipe box or indexed recipe book. 

    PC GOURMET is very easy to use. It is totally menu-driven, basic instruc- 
 tions appear on each screen, and many additional "Help" screens are available 
 at many points throughout the program by pressing [F1].  When you first run 
 the recipe program, the database file is checked and the number of recipes 
 counted. 
    
    Up to 30 lines of Ingredients, Instructions, and Follow Up Notes can be 
 added for each recipe, ten lines per screen. During VIEW-ing and DELETE-ing of 
 recipes, use of the [PGUP] and [PGDN] keys will allow "paging" between each of 
 the three screens possible for each of these types of information. 
         
    The [ESC] key is always active, i.e., no matter where you are in the  
 program, pressing this key once or twice will get you back to the Main Menu to 
 exit the program or re-start it. 

    Most program functions are requested by pressing specific function keys 
 clearly identified in a bar at the bottom of the screen.  

    Whether you are planning a three-course meal for a few people or an 
 elaborate buffet for a large party, you can select up to 20 recipes from the 
 filebox and have PC GOURMET print out a shopping list of all the ingredients 
 needed for these recipes. If your meal requires more than 20 recipes, just run 
 the shopping list option again and choose the additional recipes. The SPACE 
 BAR toggles the selected recipes on and off. 
 
    Moving your computer into the kitchen is not necessarily recommended, but 
 if you do, you will be able to use PC GOURMET's cooking timer, which can time 
 your cooking or baking up to 5 hours and 59 minutes while you are using the 
 "recipe book" to view a recipe on the screen.
