			       Introduction

	ELFTREE is designed to simplify your goal of getting the most
	out of your computer.  The heart of the program is a marvelously
	integrated file and directory manager.  With it, you can install
	software in record time, move files from one spot to another (even
	across a network!) with ease, and locate files fast on even the
	largest hard disk, regardless of whether you use DOS 2.X, 3.X or
	4.X, or 4DOS.  You won't believe how easy it is to run a program
	from within ELFTREE, or to customize the colors displayed.  You
	will see in all of ELFTREE's features that great care was taken
	to marry great power with extreme convenience.  The result is a
	delightful product with the power to make you much more effective.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		       What Makes ELFTREE Unique?

	1. Convenience - you can customize ELFTREE from within it, so you
	     don't need to run an installation program.  You can get
	     ELFTREE to run a program for you by simply pointing to it
	     and tapping [ENTER].  You can create billions of menus
	     that can be nested any way you want, with just about any
	     command you need (even multiple commands on a line), and
	     with the ability to preload the keyboard buffer before
	     carrying out the command.  You can attach short, descriptive
	     notes to files (4DOS users can use the notes they've already
	     created - see Customize for more info).

	2. EGA/VGA modes - you can run ELFTREE in either 43 line mode or
	     or 25 line mode if you have an EGA, and you can toggle the
	     setting from within ELFTREE while you are looking at the
	     directory tree, the file information screen, or while you
	     are viewing a file.  This lets you see double the information
	     at a time!  (The mode is reset, if needed, when you exit.)
	     If you have a VGA, you get a 28 and a 50 line mode.

	3. Flexible Capacity - ELFTREE can manage 24 to 4000 directories
	     per disk, and from 50 to 3000 files per directory!  Also,
	     you can work with files from up to 1000 directories and 26
	     disks as if they were in one location!  This gives you plenty
	     of power to manage your system.

	4. Consistency - When you rename a directory, ELFTREE updates your
	     directory tree, keeping your directories sorted.  If you remove
	     the current directory, you are moved to the parent directory.
	     If you attempt to enter a directory that no longer exists,
	     ELFTREE prunes the tree for you.

	5. Trim - ELFTREE saves the directory tree on your disk, if it
	     can.  This helps ELFTREE start faster for your use.  Plus,
	     when you run a program from within ELFTREE, only 3K of RAM
	     will be reserved, leaving you with the room to run your
	     memory-hungry programs.  If even 3K is too much, or you want
	     to install a TSR, you can tell ELFTREE to unload itself
	     completely before running a program.

	6. Viewing Options - When viewing a file, you can print portions
	     of it, save portions to another file, or convert portions
	     to upper, lower or proper case.  You can adjust the amount
	     by which tabs are expanded (or turn it off completely) and
	     the manner in which text is displayed.  This helps you to
	     align the text on your screen so that it looks as it was
	     intended.  For example, Assembler files usually use a setting
	     of 8, but Pascal programs use a setting of 3.  You can also
	     view the file in hex mode, with CR/LF suppressed, with only
	     printable characters shown, or with the high bit on characters
	     turned off.  ELFTREE can scroll the file forward or backward
	     for you at differing speeds.  If you have an EGA or VGA, you
	     can adjust the number of lines on the screen.  (See #2. above)

	7. Powerful Editing - ELFTREE has an editor that can edit files as
	     large as available memory.  Furthermore, the editor is packed
	     with features you need: Column block operations, Normal block
	     operations, 11 stored keyboard macros, Fast operation, etc.

			   ELFTREE FEATURES

	ELFTREE can assist you in many ways.  Here is a list of them,
	and how you select them:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		     Selectable From The Menu Bar

	    1. Tagging - To work on a group of files, you `tag' them.
		 To tag the highlighted file, just tap [SPACEBAR] and a
		 `' will appear to the left of the name.  To clear the
		 tag, tap [SPACEBAR] again.  More tagging options can be
		 found under the Tag command.  (There is no need to tag an
		 individual file to work with it.)

	    2. Attributes - You can change file and directory attributes
		 quickly.  For example, you will want to make some of your
		 important files read-only, so that they can't be erased
		 `accidentally'.  Also, you will probably want to hide some
		 of your personal files on your office computer so that a
		 casual snoop won't know they're around.  (If you have
		 DOS 3.0 or later, you can run programs even though they
		 are hidden!)

	    3. Copying - You can quickly copy files to another directory or
	         disk, or a selection of directories to another disk, or
	         duplicate the highlighted file.

	    4. Directory - ELFTREE will show you your directory as a tree,
		 with the directories in alphabetical order.  You can move
		 from one directory to another with the cursor keys, create
		 a new directory ([N]), delete empty subdirectories ([F7]),
		 change to a different disk ([F6] or [L]), rescan the
		 current disk ([S]), find a directory ([F]), tag directories
		 ([SPACEBAR] or [T]), or hide ([H]), copy ([C]), move ([H])
		 or graft ([G]) directories.

	    5. Edit - You can call up an editor (or word processor) to work
		 on one or more files by selecting them and tapping [E].

	    6. Find - Lets you manage files across 1000 directories and
	         26 disks, even on networked drives!

	    7. Moving - You can quickly move files to another directory or
	         disk, or a selection of directories to another disk.

	    8. Note - Attach, edit, erase or find notes about files.  If
	         you use 4DOS, ELFTREE can use its note files directly.

	    9. Print - Print files, or a directory listing.

	   10. Rename - You can rename a file or directory by entering
		 a new name for it when prompted.

	   11. Space - You can check space utilization on a disk.  This
		 will show how much space the disk can hold, how much
		 is used up (also as a percent), how much is free, how
		 much disk space tagged files use (or would use), and
		 how much free RAM your system has.

	   12. View - You can browse the contents of the highlighted
		 file through several filters.  Any file you have on your
		 disk, regardless of size, can be viewed.  You can adjust
		 expansion of tabs, print or save portions of the file, or
		 convert portions to upper, lower or proper case, or search
		 for text while viewing the file.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		    Selectable By Function Keys (File Display)

	   F1: Help - Brings up the help system for ELFTREE.

	   F2: Sort - Lets you order the file information in many ways.
		 Choose from Name, Extension, Date/Time, Size, Attribute,
		 Disk Order, or Tag, in Ascending or Descending order.

    [X] or F3: DOS - Enter a DOS command, run a program, select a command
		 from a user-defined menu, or exit to DOS temporarily.
		 ELFTREE remembers your last 15 unique commands.  When you
		 run a program, ELFTREE reserves only 3K for its own use,
		 but you can trim this to 0K if needed.

	   F4: Customize - Lets you configure ELFTREE to your needs.  Many
		 choices are available.  Go try it out!

      Ctrl-F4: Toggles between Immediate and Delay operation modes.

	   F5: Rearrange - Lets you move the highlighted item up or down
		 in the display.  This can be handy when you want to print
		 files in a particular order, but can't quite get that order
		 by sorting alone.

      L or F6: Change Disk - Changes to another disk, or rereads the
		 current directory if the same disk is selected.

  [DEL] or F7: Erase - Deletes files, or removes a directory.  The file
		 can be recovered if you have a utility that does this.

	   F8: Last Directory - returns you to the directory you were
		 in before you entered this one.

      Ctrl-F8: Compare Directories - tags files in current directory that
		 are dissimilar to files in previous directory; retags
		 those that are not in the previous directory.

	   F9: Save - Saves the current ELFTREE system settings.

	  F10: Change File Spec - Lets you tell ELFTREE what files to show.
	  	(You can reverse the spec, if desired)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			   Directory Display Functions

	  ESC: Returns you to the File Display.

	   F1: Brings up Help.

	   F6: Change Disk - Selects another disk.

	   F7: Remove Directory - Deletes an empty directory and all
		empty subdirectories of it.  In Professional mode, you
		can delete non-empty directories.

	   F9: Save - Saves the current directory tree, temporarily
		overriding any  /K=0   command-line switch.

	  F10: Lets you quickly change what files you wish to be used
		when you select Move, Copy, Graft or [ENTER].

	    C: Copy - copy all tagged directories to another disk.

	    E: Expose - Shows all subdirectories of the one highlighted.

	  W,F: Find - locates a directory with the given name.

	    G: Graft - Attach the tagged directories to another one,
		even if it's on another disk.  Great for reorganizing
		your directories, or moving directories between nodes on
		a network.

	    H: Hide - hides all tagged directories from view.

	    M: Move - move all tagged directories to another disk.

	    N: New Directory - lets you create a subdirectory of the
		 one currently highlighted.

	    P: Print Tree - prints the directory tree.

	    S: Scan - rebuilds directory tree for the current disk.

	    T: Tag Subdirectories - tag the highlighted directory and
		all subdirectories of it.

	    U: Untag Subdirectories - untag the highlighted directory and
		all subdirectories of it.

     [Ctrl-Z]: Toggles whether ELFTREE unloads itself completely before
		running a program for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			   Unusually Activated Features

	When you highlight a file with an extension of EXE, COM or BAT in
	the file information window and tap [F3], ELFTREE will `preload'
	the name of that file in the command line that appears.  To run the
	program, you simply tap [ENTER].  Alternatively, if you set ELFTREE
	for Mode: Immediate instead of Mode: Delay, you can skip the [F3]
	entirely, and just tap [ENTER] to run the program.

	You can train ELFTREE to be sensitive in another way.  Say you
	want to load your word processor when the highlighted file has
	an extension of DOC, or your spreadsheet when the extension is
	WK1.  When you've prepared ELFTREE appropriately, you just tap
	[ENTER] and the program is launched with that file loaded for you.
	Similarly, if you have programs that are designed to view certain
	types of files, you can train ELFTREE to load the viewer you want
	by simply tapping [V] once you've highlighted the file.

	Finally, if you have an EGA or VGA (ELFTREE will detect it), you
	can vary the number of lines displayed on the screen by tapping
	[Ctrl-V] (think of the V as in VIDEO).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	Enjoy!


			  Active Keys In ELFTREE

	The choice of keys used in ELFTREE is designed with your
	convenience in mind and, with practice, will quickly become
	familiar to you.  Here is a list of them, and a description
	of what each one is programmed to do for you:

		 Part I   - The Elvish Touch
		 Part II  - File Information Screen Only
		 Part III - Directory Information Screen Only
		 Part IV  - Editing Keys

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		 Part I   - The Elvish Touch

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	Elvish Consulting is proud to introduce The Elvish Touch, which
	lets you use any feature of ELFTREE without needing more than
	one finger!  (Incidentally, this will NOT interfere with any
	keyboard handlers you may be using.)

	For example, suppose you want to locate a file that starts with `E'.
	In ELFTREE, the keystroke [Alt-E] performs this action, and normally
	requires you to hold down the [Alt] key and then tap the [E] key.
	If you use The Elvish Touch, you can also select this by tapping
	[Alt], and then tapping [E].  Such convenience!

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    Activating The Elvish Touch
	    ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Here's how to start up ELFTREE with The Elvish Touch enabled:

	    ET /1

	The `/1' indicates that you want the feature activated.  To make
	ELFTREE remember this, tap [F9] to SAVE the system settings.

	To disable The Elvish Touch, use:

	    ET /2

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    ALT and CTRL LOCK
	    ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE offers a way to `lock' the [Alt] and [Ctrl] keys.  For
	example, to lock the [Alt] key, you tap it twice, and an `A' will
	appear in the lower right corner of your screen, signifying that
	[Alt] is in a locked state.  While [Alt] is locked, any key that
	can be affected by [Alt] is.  Thus, [E] becomes [Alt-E], [F1]
	becomes [Alt-F1], etc.  To `unlock' [Alt], tap [Alt] or [Ctrl] once,
	and the `A' will disappear.  Also, if [Alt] is locked, you can lock
	[Ctrl] by just tapping it twice.  When [Ctrl] is locked, a `C' will
	appear in the lower right corner of your screen, and any keys that
	can be modified are, so [E] becomes [Ctrl-E], etc.

	It is not possible to lock both [Alt] and [Ctrl] at the same time.

	This `locking' feature is always available, regardless of whether
	you have `The Elvish Touch' enabled.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			   █ Sorting Files █
			   █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE provides numerous options for ordering the items in the
	file information area of your screen.  This lets you look at the
	files and directories in many different ways, and lets you quickly
	reorganize the files in a directory.

	There are many ways you can sort these items and, for each, you can
	specify either increasing or decreasing order:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY NAME
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you sort these items by name, the displayed files will be
	listed in name-first order.  For example, TODD.DOC would come
	after STEVE.TXT, if the sort were in ascending order.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY EXTENSION
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	After sorting by extension, for example, FIRST.BAS would come
	before ALPHA.COM.  An item with no extension would precede any
	item with an extension under this type of sort, if the sort were
	in ascending order.  If two or more files have identical extensions,
	they will be listed in ascending order by name.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY SIZE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you sort your items by size, and choose descending order,
	your largest files would be listed first, and your smallest ones
	(directories, if any) would be last.  If two or more files have
	the same size, the tie is broken by sorting by filename.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY DATE/TIME
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	With this sort selected, if you choose ascending order, the oldest
	files would be listed first, and the most recent listed last.  If
	two or more files have the same date/time, the tie is broken by
	sorting by filename.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY DISK ORDER
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This option will list the items in the order in which they are on
	the disk, or in the reverse of this order.

	One way this can be used by you, for example, is if you want to
	put frequently accessed files near the top of the chain, so DOS can
	find them faster.  To do this, first arrange the files in the order
	you want them to be chained (use the REARRANGE key [F5] if needed),
	then move them to a new directory, then move them back to this one.
	(Or delete the old directory and rename this one.)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY ATTRIBUTE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Sorting items by attribute is handy when you want to group all
	files of similar attribute together, such as archived files that
	need to be copied to a disk for backup.  If several files have the
	same attribute, the tie is broken by sorting by filename.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY TAG
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This option lets you group all of your tagged, retagged and
	untagged files together.  If two or more files have the same tag,
	the tie is broken by sorting by filename.
	
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	NOTE: You can rearrange the file display in a manner impossible
	by just sorting with the Rearrange [F5] key.  This lets you move
	one item at a time to a new position up or down in the display.

			     █ DOS Gateway █
			     █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	The facilities available to you through the DOS Gateway let you:

	 1. Run a program with 3K or ZERO K of RAM overhead!  Imagine
	     yourself pointing to a program to run, tapping [ENTER], and
	     ELFTREE loading it for you.  Then, when you exit your program,
	     ELFTREE reloads itself automatically.

	 2. Select commands from one of billions of menus that you create
	     (up to 20 commands per menu and 10 levels of submenus, with
	     comments and user-specified Help lines and selector characters).

	 3. Execute DOS commands easily.  In addition, ELFTREE remembers
	     the last 15 unique commands you used.  It also provides a
	     quick, temporary exit to DOS (tap [O]), so you can work with
	     DOS (or 4DOS) for a period of time, if you need to, then return
	     to ELFTREE when ready.

	 4. Use short symbols to:
	      a. Join one command to another for sequential execution.
		   (symbol:  ^)
	      b. Represent file names, extensions (or name.ext).
		   (symbols:  #n, #e and #f, respectively)
	      c. Signal a change to a different directory.
		   (symbol:  #d)
	      d. Ask for input to a command.
		   (symbol:  #i)
	      e. Just stuff the keyboard buffer (don't execute)
		   (symbol:  #j)
	      f. Stuff the keyboard buffer, then execute the command.
		   (symbol:  #k)
	      g. Execute a command against a list consisting of the
		  names of the tagged files.
		   (symbol:  #L)
	      h. Cause ELFTREE to repeat a command until you tell it
		  to quit.  (symbol:  #r)
	      i. Wait after execution of a command.
		   (symbol:  #w)
	      j. Execute a command against each tagged file.
		   (symbol:  #t)
	      k. Execute a command against a file consisting of the
		  names of the tagged files (1 name per line).
		   (symbol:  #@)
	      l. Do not unload completely prior to executing command(s).
		   (symbol:  #y)
	      m. Unload completely prior to executing command(s).
		   (symbol:  #z)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       IMMEDIATE MODE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 
	If ELFTREE is set up for Immediate mode, and the item highlighted
	is a program that can be run, or has an extension that ELFTREE
	is sensitive to, you launch the program by just tapping [ENTER].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       DOS WINDOW
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Tap [F3] or [X] to open the DOS Gateway.  A window will appear,
	with a line for you to enter your command.  For example, you could
	give the command   DIR A:  to get a directory listing of your A:
	disk, or you could enter   DATE   to change your system date.

	       COMMAND SHORTCUTS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE offers you additional power by allowing you to combine
	multiple commands as one, to use short symbols for commonly used
	objects such as the name of a file, or to execute a command against
	all tagged files.  Here are examples of how to use each of these:

	 Examples:
	   a. Multiple commands (use ^ to separate each command):

		dir a:^dir b:^dir c:

	   b. Using symbols for file names, etc.

		type #f     or    dir #n.*

	   c. Signal a directory change.

		C:\QPRO\Q.EXE  #d
		(changes to C:\QPRO, starts up Quattro Pro)

	   d. Ask for input to a command.

		dir #i

	   e. Just stuff the keyboard buffer (don't execute).  Up to
	       5000 keys can be stuffed using this option (you must use
	       the command-line switch /K=#### to get more than the default
	       of 100, however - see the Help selection on Customize).

		Copy file(s) to A$#jca~y

	      (Note: this stuffs the characters [C], [A], [ENTER] and [Y],
		then processes them)

	   f. Stuff the keyboard buffer, then execute the command.

		backup #k12~

	     Note: These character(s) have special meaning:
		 ~ - [ENTER]
		 ` - [TAB]
		 @ - [ESC]
		=1 - [F1] (similarly for F2,...,F9)
		=0 - [F10]

		+1 - [Shift-F1] (similarly for [Shift-F2],...,[Shift-F9])
		+0 - [Shift-F10]

		(1 - [Ctrl-F1] (similarly for [Ctrl-F2],...,[Ctrl-F9])
		(0 - [Ctrl-F10]
		(A - [Ctrl-A] (similarly for [Ctrl-B],...,[Ctrl-Z])

		)1 - [Alt-F1] (similarly for [Alt-F2],...,[Alt-F9])
		)0 - [Alt-F10]
		)A - [Alt-A] (similarly for [Alt-B],...,[Alt-Z])

		!1 - the cursor key with `1' on it (i.e., End)
		      (similarly for !2 [DownArrow],..,!9 [PgUp])

	     Macro expansion continues after a #k is encountered; the
	      keyboard is not stuffed until all have been resolved.  (up
	      to 15 characters can be stuffed)  For example:

		Load Spreadsheet$C:\QPRO\Q.EXE #k/fr#f

		This stuffs the keyboard with `/fr' followed by the name
		of the highlighted file.

	   g. Execute a command against a list consisting of the
	       names of the tagged files.

		print #L

	   h. Cause ELFTREE to repeat a command.

		print #f#r

	   i. Wait after execution of a command.

		print #f#w

	   j. Execute a command against each tagged file.

		print #f#t

	   k. Execute this command against a file consisting of the
	       names of the tagged files (1 name per line).

		archive -a #@ saveme

	   l. Do not unload completely prior to executing command(s).

		archive -a #@ saveme #y

	   m. Unload completely prior to executing command(s).

		archive -a #@ saveme #z

	These special characters, which we call macro symbols, give you
	powerful shortcuts to specifying commands.  They are especially
	useful when combined with ELFTREE's user menus, described next,
	or with ELFTREE's extension sensitivity (three sections down).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       USER MENUS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE can automatically load one of 13 menus for you when you
	tap the key it is attached to.  These menus can be activated
	from the file information screen or the DOS Gateway, and they can
	each nest other submenus up to 10 levels deep.

	The keys to which you can attach a menu are [U] (from the file
	information screen only), [Alt-U] (from the DOS Gateway only),
	and [Alt-F1] through [Alt-F12] (from either the DOS Gateway or
	the file information screen).  Note that you must have an enhanced
	keyboard to use F11 and F12.

	Here's how to attach a menu to [Alt-F1].  Tap the [Alt-F1] key.
	You will be told that the menu does not exist, and will be asked if
	you want to create it now.  Answer [Y].  This loads the editor with
	the menu file ALTF1.ETU.  On each line of this file, type a command
	you want to appear on the menu, preceded by a label (recommended, but
	not required).  Each line may be up to 500 characters in length (not
	including label); follow each label by a single $ symbol.

		COMMENTS
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To include a comment line in your menu file, put an asterisk (*) in
	the first column of the line.  If you want a comment to span several
	lines, just begin EACH line with an asterisk.

		USER-DEFINED HELP
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To designate a line of text as a help descriptor for the next menu
	selection, put an exclamation point (!) in the first column.  When
	you highlight a menu line that has Help associated with it, this
	Help text will appear (centered) at the bottom of the menu panel.

		USER-DEFINED SELECTOR
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	By default, the first character of each label denotes a key that,
	when tapped, selects that item.  If you wish a different selector
	to be chosen for an item, just put an `@' symbol in front of the
	character you wish to be used as the selector.

	Study these examples carefully:

	  *Any line beginning with an asterisk is ignored.
	  *
	  !Formats disk in Drive A:
	  * The N key is used for the selector.
	  Prepare @new disk$format a:
	  *
	  !Brings up Quattro Pro
	  * The Q key is the selector here.
	  Borland's @Quattro Pro$C:\QPRO\Q.EXE
	  *
	  !Pretty obvious
	  * By default, T is the selector here.
	  Type a File$type $f
	  *
	  * These two items have no label associated with them.
	  * The selector is R (first character) for both of them.
	  rr c all
	  rm d #i

	You may use any of the special macro symbols defined in the preceding
	section as part of the command for a menu selection.

	All menu files you create must be stored in the directory where you
	store your global search files (the environment variable ETFIND is
	used to determine this - if you don't have one, then the menus go
	into the directory where ELFTREE is stored).

	Tap [Alt-F1] to activate this menu.  To select an item from the
	menu, use the cursor keys to highlight it, then tap [ENTER].  Or,
	tap the key corresponding to the first character of the item.
	If the selected item does not have a label, and you activated the
	menu from the DOS Gateway, it will appear on the command line so
	that you can modify it.  Otherwise, it will be executed immediately.
	If you decide that you want to make a change to your menu, just
	tap [Alt-E] and ELFTREE will let you edit it again.

	If you wish to make a menu for [Alt-F2], follow the same procedure,
	but tap the key [Alt-F2] to get started.  You can put up to 20
	selections in each menu file.

	The menu attached to either [U] (or [Alt-U]) is named MENU.ETU, and
	is stored in the same directory as all of the other menus.

	       SUBMENUS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To set up a menu selection as a submenu, simply type the name of
	the menu (it must have the extension .ETU and be located in the
	same directory as the other menus) where you would normally type
	the command.  Here is an example of a menu with both commands
	and submenus:

	  Utilities Menu$UTILS.ETU
	  *
	  !Format Disk in Drive A:
	  Format disk$format a:
	  *
	  Spreadsheet$C:\QPRO\Q.EXE
	  *
	  Database Menu$DBASES.ETU
	  *
	  Project Menu$PRJ.ETU

	Selecting a submenu is identical to selecting any other menu item;
	just highlight it and tap [ENTER], or tap the first letter of its
	label.  The submenu will appear next, and you can proceed to make
	another choice, or you can tap [ESC] to back up to the previous
	parent menu.

	       IMMEDIATE KEYS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you create a menu with one selection, then tap the key for that
	menu, ELFTREE will select that item IMMEDIATELY if you are in
	Immediate mode .  This convenience lets you use menus as "Immediate
	Keys", or keys that carry out a command immediately upon activation.
	In other words, if you are in Immediate mode, ELFTREE will only
	display a menu if it has more than 1 selection on it, otherwise
	it will execute the command in it IMMEDIATELY.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       AUTOMATIC LOADING
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When the currently highlighted file has an extension of EXE, COM,
	BAT or BTM, the name of the file will appear in the command line
	when the Gateway is activated.  This design lets you execute a
	program by first pointing to it, then tapping [ENTER].

	ELFTREE can be much smarter than this, however.  Read on.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EXTENSION SENSITIVITY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can train ELFTREE to bring up your word processor when the
	currently highlighted file has an extension of, say, DOC, or to
	load your spreadsheet program when the current file's extension
	begins with W.  To do this, create an ASCII file with this layout:

	DOC C:\MSWORD\WORD.EXE /c	(parameters can be used)
	W*  C:\QPRO\Q.EXE		(DOS wildcards can be used)
	R?D C:\REFLEX\REFLEX.EXE
	ZIP D:\PKZIP.EXE -p #f		(macro symbols can be used)

	Save this file under the name PROGRAMS.ELF in the same directory
	that the other ELFTREE files are located.  Any time you read this
	directory, ELFTREE will be `sensitized' to these extensions.  Once
	sensitized, when you highlight the file REPORT.DOC (for example)
	and tap [F3], the DOS window will pop up, and the command line will
	look like this:

	C:\MSWORD\WORD.EXE REPORT.DOC

	Now, tap [ENTER] and the program will be started for you.
	You can choose up to 40 extensions for ELFTREE to be aware of,
	and the extensions can use the DOS wildcards `*' and `?'.

	Notes: One of the joys of Immediate mode is that you can tap [ENTER]
		on a file with a special extension and have ELFTREE load
		the program (and file) Immediately.

	       ELFTREE will allow you to have multiple PROGRAMS.ELF files.
		When you enter a directory, ELFTREE looks for a PROGRAMS.ELF
		file and, if it finds one, `resensitizes' itself to what is
		in this new one.  When you then move on to another directory,
		ELFTREE stays sensitive to these extensions.

	       See the help on Viewing A File for related information.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       RAM USAGE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you run a program from inside ELFTREE using one of these
	methods, ELFTREE will release all but 3K of RAM to it!  This lets
	you run memory-hungry programs without worries about whether there's
	enough memory free.  For BAT or BTM files, ELFTREE frees up all but
	6 or 7K, depending on which DOS (or 4DOS) you use.

	       ZERO RAM USAGE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you wish ELFTREE to unload itself completely from memory before
	executing a command or program, there are three easy ways to make
	this happen:

	   1. Start up with the /Z=1 command line switch:   ET /Z=1
	   2. Use the #z somewhere in the command.
	   3. Tap [Ctrl-Z] once.

	When you elect to unload completely, ELFTREE will build a file
	called ETRUN.BAT for you, then unload itself and run this file.
	Because ELFTREE has to stuff the keyboard with ETRUN.BAT~ before
	unloading itself, the #k symbol is unavailable for your use.  We
	recommend using the #z symbol instead of the command line switch
	/Z=1    whenever possible.

	The ETRUN.BAT file is built in the directory where ELFTREE stores
	all of its menus, trees, configuration files, etc., and is erased
	when ELFTREE starts up.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       GO TO DOS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can go directly to DOS from ELFTREE by not giving a command
	when you pop up the window, but by just tapping ENTER instead.
	ELFTREE will release all but 6 or 7K of RAM to you.

	If you want a quicker way to get to DOS, don't bother with
	tapping [F3], etc. - just tap [O] from the main menu screen.

	ELFTREE will temporarily change your prompt to remind you that
	you are shelled out to DOS - you'll see a >> in your prompt.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ELFTREE REMEMBERS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE keeps track of the last 15 commands entered in its DOS
	window.  You can cycle through a menu of them by tapping the []
	(DownArrow) key and [] (UpArrow) keys.  To clear a command you no
	longer want remembered, just tap [Backspace].  To select the
	currently highlighted command, tap [ENTER].  If you don't want any
	of the commands, tap [ESC].

	To clear the currently displayed command, tap [Ctrl-Backspace]
	(hold down the [Ctrl] key, then tap the [Backspace] key).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PROBLEMS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You may encounter a program that refuses to be run from inside
	ELFTREE.  Here's a trick that usually works:  Type the phrase
	COMMAND.COM /C  before the program name.  Here's an example of
	what this might look like:

	COMMAND /C  PEST.EXE

	If this doesn't work, then you should have ELFTREE unload itself
	from RAM completely before attempting to run the program.  See the
	section above on ZERO RAM USAGE for more information.

	If none of these methods works, but the program runs fine from
	DOS, please contact us so we can help you get it fixed.

			  █ Customizing ELFTREE █
			  █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█


	You can easily customize ELFTREE from within it!  There is no
	separate installation program to run.  You can change the colors
	displayed on the screen or the borders to use for popups, speed
	up or slow down your keyboard, tell ELFTREE what items you want
	to see when it shows you the contents of a directory, specify
	what editor (or word processor) to use when you invoke EDIT, and
	set various options.

	NOTE: For all of these, you must SAVE [F9] your settings before
	leaving ELFTREE, if you want ELFTREE to use them the next time.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       START CUSTOMIZATION
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You initiate customization by tapping the [F4] key.  A menu will
	appear, showing you what items can be changed.  Select an item to
	work with by tapping the key for it, or highlighting it and then
	tapping [ENTER].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BORDER STYLE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you tap [A] to change the border (box) on popup prompts
	and menus, the inside of the customization box will change to
	a prompt telling you what to do next.  Use [UpArrow]/[DownArrow]
	to move to the next/previous choice of border style.  Continue
	until you find one you like, then tap [ENTER] to keep it.  If you
	don't want to change the current style, just tap [ESC].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       COLOR SELECTIONS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you tap a key corresponding to a color option, a color table
	will appear in the lower right corner of your screen, and the cursor
	will be located at the current color of the item you selected.
	Just move the cursor to the color you want, and watch how the color
	of the selected item changes.

	When you have found the color you want, just tap the [ENTER] key to
	keep it.  If you change your mind about picking a color, just tap
	[ESC] to go back to the original color for that item.  Be sure to
	SAVE [F9] any changes if you want them to be permanent!

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       KEYBOARD SPEED
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This option pops up a window showing the current keyboard delay and
	key repeat rate.  To change the delay, move the highlight bar (up
	or down) to it and tap [SPACEBAR] until the setting you want shows
	(the only choices supported are 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or 1 second).  Repeat
	this procedure for the keyboard repeat rate, if desired.  Tap
	[ENTER] to save your changes when you have completed your selection.
	If you change your mind, tap [ESC] to keep the former settings.

	Note: Not all computers allow the keyboard speed to be modified.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FILE SEARCH SPEC
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Choosing File Search Spec gives you control over what will be
	displayed by ELFTREE in the file information area.  You choose
	this in two parts.

	The first tells ELFTREE what names to use when it is looking for
	things to show you.  When you first start ELFTREE, this is "*.*",
	which means "show me everything that's out there".  However, you
	might want ELFTREE to display only your memos, which have an
	extension, say, of MMO.  No problem, just enter  *.MMO, and these
	will be the only ones shown.

	However, you may want ELFTREE to display files that match a group
	of names, instead of what can be given in one specification.  To
	do this, simply enter more such specifications where indicated,
	and separate each item by a colon (:).  (For your convenience,
	tapping the semicolon with or without the SHIFT key held will
	enter a colon for you.  For example, to bring up only files with
	an extension of .COM, .EXE or .BAT, this will do the trick:

		 *.COM:*.EXE:*.BAT

	If you give no file specification, the default one used is *.*,
	which will display all files with the desired attributes.

	Regardless of the file specification you enter, you have the option
	of `reversing' it - that is, show all files EXCEPT those that match
	this spec.  To reverse it, just tap [F10] instead of [ENTER] when
	you are through typing in the spec you want.

	Next, you indicate what types of items that have such names should
	be included.  You can specify hidden, system, read-only, or archived
	files, and you can specify whether directories, labels, or files
	with no attributes (called Normal files by DOS) are included.  If
	a selection on this menu has a Yes by it, then it will be included;
	otherwise, it will be excluded.  To change from a Yes to a No, or
	vice versa, simply highlight the selection you wish to change, and
	tap [SPACEBAR] once.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EDITOR NAME
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE has its own editor that can edit multiple files quickly
	and efficiently.  You can also use use your favorite editor or word
	processor with ELFTREE.

	To indicate your editor, select [K] from the menu, and fill in the
	box with the name (use the drive and path if you know them) of the
	editor you want to use.  For example:

	      C:\EDITOR\MYEDIT.EXE

	Next, tell ELFTREE what parameters you wish to be included with
	each invocation of the editor, if any.  Feel free to use ELFTREE's
	powerful macro symbols among the parameters.  Then, you'll be
	asked if your editor needs lots of memory.  If you answer [Y] to
	this, then ELFTREE will shrink itself to 3K of RAM before loading
	the editor, giving it maximum RAM.

	After you've entered all this, ELFTREE will check to see if the
	editor is available, and will tell you if it cannot find it.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FORMAT NAME
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To format disks with ELFTREE, you need to tell it the name of your
	formatting program.  Most people use the one supplied with DOS,
	which is called FORMAT.COM or FORMAT.EXE.  Fill in the box with
	the name that applies to your machine, if you know it.  If you know
	the directory it is stored in, enter this as well.

	Next, tell ELFTREE what parameters to use every time it invokes
	this formatting program.  You should NOT enter any disk letters
	such as A: or B:, as ELFTREE will supply these for you when they
	are needed.  In fact, under normal circumstances, you will never
	need to enter any parameters here.  However, if you format DSDD
	disks on a high-density 5 1/4" disk drive, you will need to supply
	the parameter /4 to ensure that they format correctly.  Ask your
	system specialist if you need help.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FILE COLUMNS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you prefer to have vertical lines separating the columns of
	file information, set this for Yes, otherwise set it for No.
	Yes is the default; however, columns will still not be shown if
	the border type (see next item) is hidden.  If you need to toggle
	the column borders on/off from the file screen, tap [B].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FILE BORDER TYPE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This gives you additional control over whether borders will be
	drawn to separate the file information displayed, and lets you
	choose the border that is most visually appealing.  Nine (9)
	types of borders are possible (including none at all).  To select
	the one you want, tap [SPACEBAR] to cycle through the selections
	and, when you spot the one you want, tap [ENTER] to keep it.  [ESC]
	cancels the selection.  If you chose no border at all, ELFTREE
	uses more rows to display file information for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       OPEN CHOICES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you first get into ELFTREE, it shows you the files in the
	current directory.  You may prefer to always see the directory
	tree first, however, or the commands you've put into the MENU.ETU
	menu file.  This option lets you choose what you prefer to see when
	ELFTREE starts up.  `Files' is the default.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EXIT CHOICES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you wish to leave ELFTREE (we can't imagine why), you can
	have it always drop you off in the Current directory or your
	Original directory (where you started ELFTREE up), or you can
	make it always ask before exiting.  This latter option is handy
	if you tend to `lean' on the [ESC] key.  The default is Ask.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       QUIET MODE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When ELFTREE needs to get your attention, it beeps.  Use this
	option to turn the beep off or on (the default).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       MENU MODE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can tell ELFTREE to automatically choose the submenu option
	it highlights when you select a tool.  This is called Immediate
	mode, and here's an example of how it works:  Suppose you tag a
	few files and choose the Copy  tool.  ELFTREE assumes that you
	want the Tagged files copied, so it goes ahead and taps [ENTER]
	for you.  The default is Delay mode, which lets you confirm the
	next choice before proceeding.

	Immediate mode has other advantages.  If the highlighted file is
	a program, or the data file associated with a program that you've
	trained ELFTREE to recognize, you can run it by simply tapping
	[ENTER].  If a directory is highlighted, you can enter it by
	tapping [ENTER].  This makes ELFTREE even simpler to use.

	Note: Tap [Ctrl-F4] from the file screen to toggle the mode.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       CASE (looking for text)
	       ▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE can quickly find text in one or more files.  By default,
	it ignores upper and lower case when searching so that, if you
	were searching for ELFTREE, it would find elftree, Elftree, ELFTREE
	and so on.  If this is not what you want, this is where to change
	it to what you want.  You have four (4) choices here:

	   Respect - find exact matches only.
	    Ignore - find matches that agree except for case.
	       Ask - ask about case sensitivity before searching.
	     Smart - If the string to look for has both UPPER and lower
		      characters, then case is respected, otherwise it
		      is ignored.  For example, a search for `Copyright'
		      would respect case, but not for `copyright'.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	In addition to this customize menu, you can configure ELFTREE with
	certain command-line switches that you type after the ET that gets
	ELFTREE up and running.  Here are the switches that may be used,
	and what they represent:

	     /1       - Activates The Elvish Touch (one-finger operation).
	     /2       - Deactivates The Elvish Touch.
	     /4       - Use 4DOS-style note files (file name DESCRIPT.ION).
	     /5       - Use ET-style note files (file name ELFTREE.NTE).
	     /C       - if you have a composite monitor.
	     /D=####  - Set maximum number of directories to handle.
			  (max is 3,999; default is 200)
	     /E=#     - If # is not 0, ELFTREE will prompt you before
			  erasing a file or directory.  If # is 0, no
			  prompting is done.  Note: this is only active if
			  Professional mode is ON.
			  (default is 1, or ON; /E=0 turns it off)
	     /F=####  - Set maximum number of files to handle.
			  (max is 2,978; default is 1500)
	     /G=####  - Set maximum number of directories to handle globally.
			  (max is 1,000; default is 50)
	     /K=#     - If # is less than 10, this determines whether to keep
			  the directory tree map on disk.
			  (default is 1, turn it off with /K=0)
	     /K=####  - If # is greater than 10, this determines the number
			  of internal macro keys to allow.
			  (max is 5000; default is 100)
		(Note: You may use /K=1 and /K=300 in a command line.)
	     /L=Z     - Last drive accessible to user.
			  (default is Z; C-Z is allowed)
	     /N=####  - Set maximum number of notes to handle.
			  (max is 1,000; default is 50)
	     /P=#     - If # is 1, this activates professional mode, which
	     		  allows the user to delete a directory that has
	     		  files in it.
			  (default is 0, or OFF; /P=1 turns it on)
	     /R=###   - ASCII code of `retag' character to use (1-255).
			  (default is 9)
	     /S=#     - If # is 1, this makes ELFTREE remember your tags
			  when it shrinks to run a program for you, if no
			  change of directory is involved.
			  (default is 0, or OFF; /S=1 turns it on)
	     /T=###   - ASCII code of `tag' character to use (1-255).
			  (default is 4)
	     /U=####  - set maximum length of menu command line.
			  (max is 10,000; default is 500)
	     /Z=#     - If # is 1, this makes ELFTREE unload completely
			  before running any program.
			  (default is 0, or off; /Z=1 turns it on)

	Be sure to tap SAVE [F9] if you want these to be permanent.


			     █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			     █ Rearranging █
			     █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	If you can't get the items in the file information area of your
	screen in the order you want by sorting alone, ELFTREE has a
	feature just for you.

	For example, how can you
	 arrange these files:			Like this?

	      FIRST   .A			FIFTH   .E
	      SECOND  .B			FIRST   .A
	      THIRD   .C			SECOND  .B
	      FOURTH  .D			SIXTH   .F
	      FIFTH   .E			THIRD   .C
	      SIXTH   .F			FOURTH  .D

	With ELFTREE, this is no problem.  Just highlight the item that
	you want moved to a new location, and tap the REARRANGE [F5] key.
	You can now drag the item up or down to the new location by tapping
	the [] (up arrow) or [] (down arrow) keys.  When it's at the new
	location, tap [ENTER] or [ESC] to quit rearranging.

	So, in the above example, I would highlight FIFTH.E, tap [F5], tap
	[] (UpArrow) 4 times, tap [ENTER], then highlight SIXTH.F, tap [F5],
	tap [] (UpArrow) 2 times, and tap [ENTER].

	Note: When you SORT [F2], all rearranging you did previously is
	      cleared, and the items are sorted as you wish.


			     █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			     █ Changing Disks █
			     █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can look at a different disk or reread the current directory
	by tapping the Change Disk ([F6] or [L]) key.  Then, just tell
	ELFTREE what disk to use, and let ELFTREE get it for you.

	If the drive specified is not available for some reason, you'll
	be told by ELFTREE when it returns.  If you are trying to change
	to a floppy drive, and ELFTREE detects that the disk is not
	readable, it will ask if you want to format it.  If you do not
	(it could destroy any data on the disk), simply tap [ENTER] to
	answer NO to this choice.

	You can change disks from either the file information screen or
	the directory tree display.  If you change from the tree, ELFTREE
	will automatically get the tree for the disk specified.  If you
	change from the file information screen, ELFTREE will bring up
	the files in the current directory for that disk.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Erasing Files or Directories █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can erase one or several items at a time in ELFTREE.  The files
	can be recovered with a number of utility programs on the market.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ERASING ONE FILE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To erase one file, simply highlight it and tap ERASE [F7].
	(Note: [DEL] or [Ctrl-K] can be used as well as [F7].)  A box with
	ERASE FILE(S)? will appear on your screen, to verify that you tapped
	the intended key.  Answer with a tap of the [Y] key if this is
	what you meant.  If you did not mean to erase anything, tap [N]
	or [ESC], and this will be cancelled.  Otherwise:

	If no files are tagged, the highlighted file will be erased.

	If one or more files are tagged, another box will appear, (if you
	are not in Immediate mode) asking [H]ighlighted or [T]agged?

	If you have tagged files, you erase the highlighted file by
	answering [H].

	If the highlighted item is a directory, and no files are tagged,
	the message in the box will be REMOVE DIRECTORY? instead.  See
	the discussion further down for more on this.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ERASING SEVERAL FILES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To erase several files, simply `tag' them and tap the ERASE key.
	The message ERASE FILE(S)? will appear, to check to see if this
	is what you want to do.  Answer [Y] to proceed, and then [T] to
	the prompt of (H)ilighted or (T)agged? to start erasing.

	While erasing, ELFTREE can be interrupted at any time by tapping
	a key (such as the [SPACEBAR]).  You can then resume by tapping
	[R], or tap [ESC] to quit.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       REMOVING A DIRECTORY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you want to remove a directory, you first have to be sure that
	no items are left in it.  This means that there can be no files in
	in it, nor any nonempty child directories.  A child directory, if
	it exists, will appear to the right on the directory tree display.
	Here's a sample:

		.
		.
	       │
	       ├─ PARENT ─────┬─ CHILD1
	       │	      └─ CHILD2
		.
		.

	Here, PARENT cannot be removed, even if it has no files in it,
	unless CHILD1 and CHILD2 are empty.  If CHILD1 and CHILD2 are
	empty, they will be removed immediately and ELFTREE will attempt
	to remove PARENT.

	You can remove a directory from either the directory tree display
	or the file information area.  This gives you added convenience.

	As a further convenience, if you select a directory from the
	tree that no longer exists, ELFTREE will automatically adjust
	its tree for you.  This may happen, for example, if you remove
	a directory using DOS or another program.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	       REMOVING A DIRECTORY (PART II)
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you would like ELFTREE to be capable of deleting the files in
	a directory for you automatically, instead of having to delete
	them yourself ahead of time, there is a way to do this.  Simply
	start ELFTREE like this:

	       ET /P=1

	We call this Professional Mode.  When you start ELFTREE this way,
	it will warn you if files exist in a directory you want to delete,
	and it will ask if you want them erased for you at that time.  Tap
	[N] if you DO NOT want them erased, otherwise tap [Y] to erase them.
	To deactivate Professional mode, start ET with:  ET /P=0


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Return To Last Directory █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can quickly return to the directory you were in last by
	tapping the LAST DIRECTORY [F8] key.  To return to the
	directory you left, tap [F8] again.

	This is handy when you need to compare two directories before
	copying or moving files from one to another, or if you simply
	need a quick way to return to where you came from.

	     Compare Directories
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Tap [Ctrl-F8] to quickly tag files in the current directory that
	are also in the last directory you visited, but are not identical
	due to their having a different size or date/time stamp.  Files
	which are not in the other directory will be `retagged', which
	you can promote to `tagged' with the Retag option of the Tag menu
	command.  If you wish to also process the previous directory, simply
	switch back to it with [F8], then tap [Ctrl-F8] again.

	You have two choices on the comparison.  The Slow option will
	compare files of the same size on a byte-by-byte basis to see if
	they are identical.  The Fast option does not perform this internal
	comparison; it just looks at the file properties.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Save ELFTREE Settings █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	The changes you make to ELFTREE via the Customize [F4] key are not
	saved until you tap the SAVE [F9] key.  This creates a file called
	ELFTREE.CFG in the directory where ELFTREE's menus and Find files
	are stored.  To use a configuration file with a different name, use
	the environment variable ETCONFIG to set it.  For example:
	set ETCONFIG=MONO.CFG

	You can VIEW the configuration file with ELFTREE, and can make
	changes to it with an editor, although this is not recommended.

	ELFTREE.CFG currently stores such items as the colors to use, the
	number of lines to use on the screen, the number of lines you were
	using before invoking ELFTREE, the file search specification, the
	Find search specification, the name of your editor, any editor
	parameters you want, etc.  It does not store any of the DOS commands
	you used during a session; if you need ELFTREE to supply menus of
	commands, read about ELFTREE's DOS Gateway.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Go To Child Directory █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	If the currently highlighted item in the file information area is
	a directory, you can jump into it by tapping the CHILD DIRECTORY
	[Ctrl-RightArrow] key.  This will display the files in the
	highlighted directory for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     GO TO PARENT DIRECTORY
	     ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

	To quickly go to the parent of the directory you're currently in,
	tap the PARENT [Ctrl-LeftArrow] key.  This will display the files
	from the parent directory for you, and the child directory you
	came from will be highlighted, if possible.

	If you are in the root directory when you tap this key, you will
	be moved up to the next previous directory in the display, if
	there is one.

	Note: You can also get to the PARENT directory by tapping the
	      PERIOD (.) key.  This may seem more natural for those of
	      you who are familiar with the DOS command `CD..'.

			█ For EGA/VGA Displays █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	If your computer has an EGA or VGA display, you can see more
	information at a time, if you want to, by changing the number
	of lines ELFTREE will display on the screen for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     HOW TO ACTIVATE EGA/VGA MODES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

	To change the number of lines on the screen, just tap [Ctrl-V]
	(hold down the Ctrl key and tap V).  If you are viewing a file,
	looking at your directories, or looking at the menu screen, you
	will switch to the next mode automatically.

	The available number of lines per screen are 25/43 for an EGA, and
	25/28/50 for a VGA.  So, if your current screen is set for 25 lines,
	your next one will be 43 for an EGA, and 28 for a VGA.  If you tap
	[Ctrl-V] one more time, you'll get 25 on an EGA, and 50 on a VGA.
	On a VGA, one more tap will get you back to 25 lines.

	This is a handy way of getting more information (directories,
	files, browsed file) on your screen at a time.  You will find
	the directory tree display gives you almost twice as many branches
	in 43 line mode as in 25, and thus you get a better picture of your
	disk directory structure.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Change File Date and Time  █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can change the date and time of one or many files with
	ELFTREE.  This is handy, for example, if you are working on a
	group of files in a project, and you want them all to have the
	same date and time.

	To change the date and time for one or more files, tap
	CHANGE FILE DATE [Ctrl-T].  A box will appear on your screen,
	and you should enter the date and time desired where indicated.
	Be sure to follow the format supplied in the example.
	  For example:  1-1-90 12:00p     is a valid date

	If no files are tagged, the highlighted file's date and time will
	be changed to what you specified.

	If one or more files are tagged, another box will appear, asking
	[H]ighlighted or [T]agged?

	If you have tagged files, you change the highlighted file by
	answering [H].

	To change the date and time for the tagged files, just tap [T]
	and they will be processed.


			    █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			    █ Attributes █
			    █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can use ELFTREE to provide some additional security to your
	computer system by marking your important files as `read-only',
	`hidden', or `system'.  Also, ELFTREE will show you the current
	attributes of the items displayed in the last column.  Here is
	a brief description of what each symbol displayed there means:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    R  READ ONLY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you make a file `read-only', you tell DOS that it is not
	allowed to make changes to the file.  This prevents others from
	erasing it easily.  Of course, you can use ELFTREE to erase a
	`read-only' file, but the DOS Erase command will give you the
	message `Access denied'.  As a rule, you should never make data
	files `read-only', or else the programs that use them will probably
	not function correctly.  For example, if you make ELFTREE.CFG
	`read-only', then you will not be able to save any configuration
	changes you make to ELFTREE.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    HS HIDDEN/SYSTEM
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Marking a file as `hidden' or `system' keeps it from being shown
	by DOS when you give a DIR command (this is true for hidden
	directories as well).  This is a good way to keep casual snoops
	from seeing what you have on your disks.  If you have DOS 3.0
	or later, you can hide executable files (such as ELFTREE.EXE),
	yet still run them as if they weren't hidden!  Be careful of
	unhiding files that come with your software; the files might
	be part of a copy protection scheme, and unhiding them could
	prevent the program that uses them from working.

	NOTE: If you mark files as `hidden', `system', or `read-only',
	      any disk defragmentation program you use will NOT MOVE THESE
	      CLUSTERS.  If you want them reorganized, you'll have to
	      change their attributes, then run your defragmentation
	      program, then change them back.  Use the ELFTREE Find
	      feature to help you if the files are spread across many
	      directories or on many disks.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    A  ARCHIVED
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you make changes to a file, DOS sets the `archive' attribute
	to denote that it needs to be backed up.  Backup programs that
	perform so-called `incremental' backups look for files that have
	their `archive' attribute set.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    D  DIRECTORY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This denotes that the item is a directory (as opposed to a file
	or disk volume label).  ELFTREE can hide directories as well as
	files, and can make directories `read-only' also.  Hiding a
	directory is a quick way to hide the files it contains as well.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    L  LABEL
	       ▀▀▀▀▀
	This denotes that the item is a disk volume label (name on the
	disk).  ELFTREE does not currently let you modify labels; this
	is included for your information only.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       NORMAL
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	A file with no attributes is called a NORMAL file.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			     Changing Attributes

	It's easy to change attributes with ELFTREE.  Simply select
	Attribute from the menu bar, and a box will pop up.  In this box
	will be the attributes you can change (Archive, Read-only, Hidden
	and System).  In front of all of these will be `N/C', which means
	`no change'.  Simply move the highlight bar up or down until you
	are at the attribute you want to change, and tap [SPACEBAR] once
	for `YES', or once more for `NO'.  The `yes' choice means `give
	this item this attribute', and the `no' choice means `remove this
	attribute from this item'.  If you tapped [SPACEBAR] by accident,
	and don't want to change a particular attribute, tapping it once
	after `NO' will return it to `N/C'.

	After selecting the attributes you want, tap [ENTER] and the
	files/directory will be given these attributes.

	Note: You can also tap [Y] to set a particular attribute, or
	      [N] to remove it.

		      █ Copying Files and Directories █
		      █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can copy one or many files (even entire directories) with
	ELFTREE, and with just a few keystrokes!  With a little practice,
	you'll swear off DOS forever for copying your files.

	You may be aware already that when you use DOS to copy a file,
	and already have a file with the same name on the disk, DOS will
	overwrite that file without any warning message.  This can cause
	you to lose data!!  ELFTREE will not overwrite files unless you
	specifically tell it to do so.  Also, if you have a note attached to
	a file, the note will be copied with the file if there is no file
	with that name in the directory you are copying to.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     HILIGHTED
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To copy the highlighted file only, simply select the COPY option
	on the menu bar, and HILIGHTED from the submenu displayed.  Next,
	find the directory you want to copy files to (or make a new one,
	if you need to), tap [ENTER], and sit back and let ELFTREE copy
	it for you.

	You can duplicate a file by selecting the same directory for the
	destination, or by using the ["] key.  ELFTREE will ask you to
	enter a name for it, and then proceed to copy it.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     TAGGED
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	After you have tagged the files you want to copy (by tapping
	[SPACEBAR], or using the TAG menu command), you can COPY them
	by selecting COPY from the main menu, and Tagged from the submenu.
	Next, find the directory you want to copy files to (or make a
	new one, if you need to), tap [ENTER], and sit back and let
	ELFTREE do the work for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     DIRECTORIES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE will let you copy entire directories on the current disk
	to another disk.  To do this, you must be looking at the directory
	tree (tap [D] to get to it); Tag the directories you want copied.

	Here's how to tag them:
	     1. Tap [SPACEBAR] to tag an individual directory.
	     2. [T] - to tag the current directory and all of its
		      subdirectories.  (Hint: to tag all directories
		      on a disk, move to the root directory before 
		      tapping [T].)
	     3. [U] - to untag the current directory and all of its
		      subdirectories.

	Now, tap [C], tell ELFTREE what disk to copy to, and sit
	back and let ELFTREE do it for you.

	As ELFTREE copies files, it checks to see if there's enough room
	on the disk to store the copy.  If there is not, and you are
	copying to a floppy, ELFTREE will tell you there is not enough
	room to copy the file, and will let you Skip the file, put in a
	fresh disk and Continue, or Quit copying altogether.  If you put
	in a disk that has not been formatted, ELFTREE will give you an
	error message (such as "General Failure error on Drive A"), and
	then ask if you want to format the disk right now.  Just tap [Y]
	to format it, and ELFTREE will invoke the format program you gave
	to format the disk.  (If you have not supplied ELFTREE with the
	format program yet, then you will be requested to supply it at this
	time before proceeding to format.)  ELFTREE will not format a drive
	that is not a floppy, so that you cannot use it to format a hard
	disk inadvertently.  After formatting, ELFTREE will resume copying
	the files.

	NOTE: When copying directories, ELFTREE will only copy those
	      files that match the current search specification (set
	      under the [F10] key) and attributes.  You may want to
	      change the specifications before copying.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     EMPTY FILES OR THOSE WITH SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	DOS will not copy files of zero length, and when it copies
	read-only files, the newly created files will not be read-only.
	As a convenience, ELFTREE will copy zero-length files for you
	and, if any of your files have special attributes set (hidden,
	read-only, etc.), they will be retained when copied.  (Some older
	programs use this as a form of copy protection.)

			   █ Directory Display █
			   █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE shows the directory structure on your disk in the shape
	of a tree.  This representation makes it easy for you to manage
	your directories with a minimum of bother.  Here is what you can
	do while you are looking at the display of your directories:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     SOME SPECIAL KEYS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

    [Ctrl-V] - For EGA adapters, this toggles between 25 and 43 line modes.
		For VGA, this cycles among 25, 28 and 50 line modes.

   [Ctrl ->] - Highlights the next item on the moving-bar menu.

   [Ctrl <-] - Highlights the previous item on the moving-bar menu.

[Ctrl-ENTER] - Selects the highlighted item on the moving-bar menu.

     [ENTER] - Selects the directory for display of files, then shows
		the items in this directory.  If copying/moving files,
		this only selects the destination directory.

       [ESC] - Cancels current command, if any, and returns you to
		the directory you left.  If that directory no longer
		exists, you'll be put into a nearby directory.

  [SPACEBAR] - Tags the current directory, moves to the next one.

	[F1] - Brings up this help information.

	[F6] - Change to the current directory on another drive.

	[F7] - Remove an empty directory and all empty subdirectories. If you
		remove the current directory, you are put into the parent of
		the one you removed.

	[F8] - Toggles whether the [ENTER], [->] and [<-] keys affect the
		moving-bar menu selections.

	[F9] - Saves the current directory tree, temporarily overriding
		the  /K=0   command-line switch.

       [F10] - Lets you quickly change what files you wish to be used
		when you select move, copy, graft or [ENTER].

	 [C] - Copy the tagged directories to another disk.

	 [E] - Reveals hidden subdirectories of the highlighted directory.

  [W] or [F] - Lets you search for a directory by name.  (DOS wildcards
		can be used.)

	 [G] - Graft the tagged directories onto another directory.

	 [H] - Hide the tagged directories from view.

	 [M] - Move the tagged directories to another disk.

	 [N] - Make a new subdirectory of the one currently highlighted.

	 [P] - Print the current directory tree.

	 [S] - Rebuilds the directory tree for the current disk.

	 [T] - Tag the highlighted directory and all subdirectories of it.

	 [U] - Untag the highlighted directory and all subdirectories of it.


   [Alt-Key] - Search for a directory whose first letter matches `Key'.
		For example, [Alt-A] looks for the next one that starts
		with `A'.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     MOVING AROUND THE TREE
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To navigate around the tree display, these keys are available
	for your use:

       [->](cursor right): Highlights the next directory below the
			    current one in the column to the right.  If
			    none exist, then highlights the next one
			    in the same column as the current one.

       [<-](cursor left):  Highlights the next directory above the
			    current one in the column to the left of the
			    current column.

       [](cursor up):     Highlights the directory that precedes the
			    current one that is also in this column.  If
			    none exist, go one column to the left.

       [](cursor down):   Highlights the directory that follows the
			    current one that is also in this column.  If
			    none exist, go one column to the left.

	  [HOME] - Moves the cursor bar to the ROOT directory.

	   [END] - Moves the cursor bar to the last directory.

 [.] or [Ctrl-P] - Moves the cursor bar to the parent of the currently
		    highlighted directory.

	  [PGUP] - Moves the highlight to the first directory, if it's
		    not already there, otherwise backs up one screen
		    of the tree.

	  [PGDN] - Moves the highlight to the last directory on the screen,
		    if it's not already there, otherwise goes forward to
		    the next page of the display.

   [Plus] or [+] - Moves the cursor bar forward one directory, wrapping
		    around when it gets to the end.

  [Minus] or [-] - Moves the cursor bar backward one directory, wrapping
		    around when it gets to the beginning.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     TREE WIDTH
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE is sensitive to the length of directory names.  Shorter
	names yield a tree with narrower columns than one with longer names.
	Thus, more columns of directories are displayed if you keep these
	names short.  (When determining the width of the tree columns, only
	visible directories are used.  So, you can make ELFTREE see only
	short names by Hiding the ones with long names!)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[DEL], [F7]  ERASE DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Once you've deleted all of the items in a directory, you can
	delete the directory itself by tapping the [F7] or [DEL] key.  If
	successful, the directory tree is updated to reflect the change.
	If not, you still have files (or nonempty subdirectories) still in
	the directory.  Check the file search specification ([F10] key)
	to see if you may have excluded certain files inadvertently when you
	performed the erasure.  If you still have subdirectories in the
	directory, the subdirectories will appear attached to the right of
	the directory you are trying to remove.  You will have to delete
	the files in these `child' directories before you can delete the
	`parent' directory.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[C, M]  COPY/MOVE DIRECTORIES
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To copy or move one or more directories, just tag them (tap
	[SPACEBAR] to tag the currently highlighted directory) and tap [C]
	to copy them or [M] to move them.  Next, indicate what disk to
	copy or move them to, and let ELFTREE do it for you.  The files
	will be copied or moved to directories of exactly the same name
	on the disk you specified.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[E]  EXPOSE DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To expose one or more hidden child subdirectories of the currently
	highlighted directory, simply tap [R], and they will be exposed.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[F]  FIND DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To find a directory of a given name, you can search for it by
	tapping the [F] or [W] keys.  You will be prompted for the
	name to look for (wildcards can be used), then ELFTREE will
	move the cursor bar to directories that match the name you
	entered.  For example, if you want to find a directory called
	TREE, you could search for it by entering TR*.  ELFTREE would
	find TREE, of course, but it would also find TROUBLE, TRACK, and
	other directories you have that begin with TR.  After finding a
	directory for you, ELFTREE asks you if it should keep looking.
	If you have the one you want, tap [ENTER] to select it, or
	[ESC] to return to the directory you started from.

	This is especially handy when looking at a tree display of a
	disk with many directories.  Using it will help you find the
	directory you want quickly.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[G]  GRAFT DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To graft one or more directories onto another, just tag them and
	tap [G].  Next, specify whether the directories should be copied
	or moved during the grafting process, and what disk to graft the
	directories onto (you can graft them onto any disk, including the
	current one).  You'll be shown a directory tree for this disk;
	highlight the directory you want to graft onto, and tap [ENTER] to
	select it and begin the grafting process.

	Here's an example.  Suppose I tag five directories to graft:

        C:\ ─────┬ DUMMY1 ──┬ A
                 │           ├─ B ───────┬ C
                 │           │           └ D
                 │           └─ E
                 ├─ DUMMY2 ──┬ 1
                 │           ├─ 2
                 │           └─ 3
                 └─ DUMMY3

	Next, I'll specify that I want these directories moved, that I want
	drive C, and I'll select DUMMY3 as the target directory.  This is
	what the tree will look like after the grafting is done:

        C:\ ─────┬─ DUMMY1 ──┬─ B
                 │           └─ E
                 ├─ DUMMY2 ──┬─ 2
                 │           └─ 3
                 └─ DUMMY3 ──┬─ DUMMY1 ──┬─ A
                             │           ├─ C
                             │           └─ D
                             └─ 1

	Notice that, even though DUMMY1 was not able to be removed (it
	has child directories of B and E), all of the files that it
	contained have been moved to the DUMMY1 child of DUMMY3 (assuming
	here that the filespec used was *.*).  Notice, too that directories
	C and D are now attached directly to DUMMY1, instead of being
	attached to B.

	You can see that grafting directories is a quick way to redo the
	directory structure of a disk.  With ELFTREE, you can graft files
	onto another disk, which is especially handy on networks.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[H]  HIDE DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To hide one or more directories, just tag them (tap [SPACEBAR]
	to tag the currently highlighted directory) and tap [H].  The
	tagged directories will be immediately removed from view (they
	still exist, but are just not shown).  To expose them again, move
	to their parent directory and tap [E].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[N]  NEW DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To create a new subdirectory, just highlight the directory you
	want to serve as the `parent' of the new directory and tap [N].
	You will then be prompted for a name to give this `child'.  Just
	tell ELFTREE what name to use, and let ELFTREE make it for you.
	If successful, ELFTREE will show you the updated tree with the
	new directory in it (if it fits on the screen).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[P]  PRINT TREE
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To print the current directory tree, simply tap [P] when you
	are looking at the tree, and it will be printed immediately.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[S]  SCAN DISK
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Sometimes, such as after copying directories to another disk,
	or inserting a new floppy disk into your machine, you may need
	to rescan a disk.  Simply tap [S] to start the scan, wait a few
	seconds to complete, and ELFTREE will display the tree for you.

	If you have told ELFTREE to exclude files with certain attributes
	from the display, then any directories with these attributes
	will likewise be excluded when the disk is scanned.  ELFTREE
	is respecting your wish for privacy for these directories.

	ELFTREE will automatically initiate a scan of your disk if you
	ask to bring up the tree display while in a directory that was
	not created with ELFTREE.  This is a convenience for you, so
	that ELFTREE can give you up-to-date information on your disk.

	When ELFTREE builds a new tree by scanning the disk, it reveals
	all directories that were formerly hidden through use of [H], as
	described above.  Simply tag them and tap [H] to hide them again.

			  █ Editing A File █
			  █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE comes with an editor (ELFEDIT.EXE) that provides the
	functions and simplicity you need.  With it, you can use block
	commands of copy, cut, paste, print, and save, and can convert
	a block to UPPER, Proper and lower cases instantly!  The editor
	has support for EGA/VGA displays, 11 keyboard macros for complex
	editing tasks, adjustable TAB stop settings and a host of other
	niceties.  Best of all, this editor is designed to work not just
	on one file, but as many as will fit into memory!  This lets you
	transfer your work from one file to many others with speed.  You
	will love it, we're sure.

	The editor can handle large files - even 500,000 bytes, and a line
	length of up to 20,000 bytes (the defaults are 65,500 and 1,000),
	but you can change this.  Here's an example of how to command it to
	use only 5,000 bytes per file, with a line length of 2,000 bytes:

	    ELFEDIT /M=5000 /L=2000

	Of course, you can use the editor from the DOS environment as
	well, and there is one distinct advantage to doing so, namely,
	you can specify which files to edit by using wildcards.  Here's
	how to load a number of .BAT and .PRG files at once, using only
	10000 bytes per file:

	    ELFEDIT  *.BAT  *.PRG  /m=10000

	The number of files ELFTREE can edit simultaneously is determined
	by the size of the editing buffer you select with the /M=#####
	command-line parameter.  If you specify an editing buffer of
	500000 bytes, then you'll only be able to edit one file.  If you
	choose a buffer size of 10000 bytes, you'll be able to edit dozens
	of files.  If you are not sure how much memory you have available,
	use ELFTREE's Space command to tell you.

	Here is a list of 12 features available to you in the editor:

	   1. Edit large/multiple files - depending on available memory.
	   2. FAST Block functions - Copy, Delete, Paste, Print, Save, Convert
		to UPPER/Proper/lower case, Print Mailing Labels.
	   3. FAST Column Block functions - Copy, Delete or Paste.
	   4. FAST Search and Replace - replace a phrase with another.  You
		can confirm each selection, change just one occurrence, or
		change all of them.  Also, you can count the number of times
		a word or phrase occurs in the file.
	   5. Merge File - Insert a file into the one currently being edited
		at the cursor position.
	   6. Instant Key Help - Tap [F1].
	   7. Delete/Copy/Paste single lines quickly.
	   8. FAST loading - the editor is small, so it loads very quickly,
		and any file you load displays immediately.
	   9. FAST Cursor Operations - Immediate Page Up, Page Down, etc., no
		matter how fast your cursor is.
	  10. Keyboard Macros - Create and store up to 11 macros for complex
		repetitive editing chores.
	  11. Customizablility - Customize the video mode (supports 25/43
		lines for EGA, 25/28/50 for VGA), the colors, the tabstops,
		autosave, and backup of files.
	  12. Load a new file into a fresh buffer - if there is room - or
		jump to any file currently loaded.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       USING ANOTHER EDITOR
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Of course, it's okay if you have another editor you prefer.  To
	use your editor from within ELFTREE, you have to tell ELFTREE how
	to find it.  Tap [F4] for the Customize options, and select [K] for
	Editor Path.  Enter the complete name (with path, if known), then
	enter any parameters you want included with each invocation and
	tell ELFTREE whether it should give this editor lots of memory.

	Note: You may use ELFTREE's macro symbols among the parameters.

	(Be sure to save [F9] your configuration before leaving ELFTREE, so
	this information is remembered.)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       INVOKING THE EDITOR
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Once you tell ELFTREE the name of your editor, and what parameters
	you want to use with it (macro symbols can be used), it is available
	for use by selecting EDIT from the menu bar.  (Tap [E], or
	highlight EDIT and tap [ENTER].)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EDITING MULTIPLE FILES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To edit multiple files, just `tag' the files you wish to edit,
	and select the `Tagged' submenu option under `EDIT'.  ELFTREE
	will supply the names of the tagged files (up to 115 bytes,
	counting the spaces between the names, if in list form).

	Ever wish you could work with files from dozens of directories and
	on several disks as if they were in one?  For example, you might
	want to locate all of those files relating to a particular project
	so you can copy them to a floppy, or transfer them to someone else
	across the network.  With ELFTREE, this is easy.  The Find menu
	selection makes this possible.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     DATE
	     ▀▀▀▀
	This lets you gather a group of files within a range of dates.
	To activate it, select Date from the Find submenu by tapping [D].
	You'll be asked to enter a pair of dates for ELFTREE to use when
	it builds the table of files for you - only files whose dates are
	between the ones you supplied will be included.  You will then be
	asked to enter a range of filespecs to look through, to indicate any
	special attributes you want to include, and to specify what disks to
	search for these files on.  Finally, if you chose only one disk to
	search, ELFTREE will ask if you want to search all of the directories
	on the disk (you may only want to search a particular subtree, for
	example).  If you choose No, you'll be asked to tag the directories
	you want searched, and ELFTREE will only search these directories.
	Otherwise,  ELFTREE will look through all of the directories on the
	disk, grabbing all of the files matching these specifications and
	displaying them for you.

	Note: To find all files with a particular date, just type the same
	      date twice to make the pair.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     GLOBAL
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This lets you gather a bunch of files that match a group of
	filespecs you want to search for.  To activate it, select Global
	from the Find submenu by tapping [G].  You'll be asked to enter
	the filespecs to look for (feel free to use DOS wildcards here,
	or to put multiple specs on the line, separated by colons), and
	the file attributes you are interested in.  Next, tell ELFTREE
	what disks to look on - include network drives if you wish them
	to be searched as well.  Finally, if you chose only one disk to
	search, ELFTREE will ask if you want to search all of the
	directories on the disk (you may only want to search a particular
	subtree, for example).  If you choose No, you'll be asked to tag
	the directories you want searched, and ELFTREE will only search
	these directories.  Otherwise, ELFTREE will look through all of
	the directories on the disk.

	     For Example
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	For example, to find all files that begin with ELF, or have an
	extension of .ELF, you would tell ELFTREE to look for:

		   ELF*.*:*.ELF

	This would find ELFTREE.CHL, AUTOEXEC.ELF, etc.

	As ELFTREE searches for the files, it tells you which directory
	and disk it is currently looking in.  When it completes the
	search, it displays the files that it found.  (If it didn't find
	any, you'll be returned to what you had previously.)

	     WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW?
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	From the display, you have access to ALL of ELFTREE's usual tools,
	so you can tag several files, copy or move them to a particular
	directory or disk, dupe them, edit them, erase them, print them,
	rename them, view them, etc.  Just use the tools provided to get
	the job done.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     LOAD
	     ▀▀▀▀
	If the highlighted file is a list of files that you had saved using
	the Save submenu option under Find, this command will load it
	immediately for you to use.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     MERGE
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	If the highlighted file is a list of files that you had saved using
	the Save submenu option under Find, this command will merge the
	stored files with the ones you are currently working with (or load
	them if none are already loaded).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     PREVIOUS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you select the Date, Global, or Text options for a search,
	ELFTREE automatically stores the file information it finds in a
	file called LASTFIND.ETG.  The Previous option loads this file
	for you, as a convenience.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     REFRESH
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When working with a saved selection of files, the information
	in them may get stale with age, as files get moved, changed,
	erased, etc.  This option updates the information kept for each
	file currently loaded, and removes those that no longer exist
	where they once did.  If you wish to only refresh a few files,
	just tag them before selecting this tool.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     SAVE
	     ▀▀▀▀
	This saves the current file display for later use.  If you are
	working on a global list of files, the file will be saved, with
	the extension .ETG, either to the directory where ELFTREE is stored
	or in the directory specified by the environment variable ETFIND.
	If you are working on a local list of files, this will be saved,
	with an extension of .ETL, to the current directory.

	To make such a file of files auto-loading when ELFTREE starts up,
	simply use a filename of AUTOET.  Such a file is used by ELFTREE
	if it saves your files before running a program, and is erased
	when it starts up again.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     TEXT
	     ▀▀▀▀
	This lets you gather a bunch of files that have a specific piece
	of text in them.  To activate it, select Text from the Find submenu
	by tapping [T].  You'll be asked to enter the text to search for,
	and whether to look only through files in the current directory.

	If you specify the current directory, it will either search the
	highlighted file, if none are tagged, or all of the tagged files.
	When it finds a file that has this text, it `retags' it, otherwise
	it `untags' it.

	If you specify a broader search scope, you will be asked for a
	group of filespecs to search through, then the attributes that
	are acceptable (Directory has no meaning here).  Next, you'll be
	asked for the disks to search on.  By default, floppy drives are
	left out, but you can add them now if you wish them searched.
	If you chose only one disk to search, ELFTREE will ask if you want
	to search all of the directories on the disk (you may only want to
	search a particular subtree, for example).  If you choose No, you'll
	be asked to tag the directories you want searched, and ELFTREE will
	only search these directories.  Otherwise, ELFTREE will look through
	all of the directories on the disk.  When ELFTREE is done searching,
	it will display all of the files that have this text in it, if any.
	If none were found, you will be returned to directory you were in
	before you started the search.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     ADJUSTING CAPACITY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can adjust the number of directories and files ELFTREE will use
	(1500 files, 50 directories is the default; up to 1000 directories
	and 2,978 files can be used) for the Find facility.  Here's an
	example of how to start up ELFTREE so that it uses 1000 files and
	100 directories:

	   ET /F=1000 /G=100

	Remember to Save [F9] ELFTREE's settings if you want this kept
	for the next time you start up ELFTREE.

		      █ Moving Files and Directories █
		      █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can move one or many files (even entire directories) with
	ELFTREE, and with far fewer keystrokes than DOS.  Also, since
	ELFTREE will move files to other disks (or other machines on a
	network), you have much more capability than DOS gives you.

	If you have a note attached to a file, the note will be moved with
	the file if there is no file with that name in the directory you
	are moving to.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     HILIGHTED
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To move the highlighted file only, simply select the Move option
	on the menu bar  Hilighted from the submenu displayed.  Next,
	find the directory you want to move files to (or make a new one,
	if you need to), tap [ENTER], and sit back and let ELFTREE move
	it for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     TAGGED
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	After you have tagged the files you want to move (by tapping
	[SPACEBAR], or using the TAG menu command), you can Move them
	by selecting Move from the main menu, and Tagged from the submenu.
	Next, find the directory you want to move files to (or make a
	new one, if you need to), tap [ENTER], and sit back and let
	ELFTREE do all the work for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     DIRECTORIES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE will let you move entire directories on the current disk
	to another disk.  To do this, you must be looking at the directory
	tree (tap [D] to get to it); Tag the directories you want moved.

	Here's how to tag them:
	     1. Use [SPACEBAR] to tag an individual directory.
	     2. [T] - to tag the current directory and all of its
		      subdirectories.  (Hint: to tag all directories
		      on a disk, move to the root directory before 
		      tapping [T].)
	     3. [U] - to untag the current directory and all of its
		      subdirectories.

	Now, tap [M], tell ELFTREE what disk to move to, and sit back
	and let ELFTREE do it for you.

	If you elect to move the directories to another disk, then
	ELFTREE will copy the files and, if successful, will erase the
	originals.  As ELFTREE copies files, it checks to see if there's
	enough room on the disk to store the copy.  If there isn't, and
	you are copying to a floppy, ELFTREE will tell you there is not
	enough room to copy the file, and will let you Skip the file, put
	in a fresh disk and Continue, or Quit copying altogether.  If you
	put in a disk that has not been formatted, ELFTREE will give you an
	error message (such as "General Failure error on Drive A"), and
	then ask if you want to format the disk right now.  Just answer
	`Y' to format it, and ELFTREE will invoke the format program you
	specified to format the disk.  (If you have not supplied ELFTREE
	with the format program yet, you will be requested to supply it
	at this time before proceeding to format.)  ELFTREE will not
	format a drive that is not a floppy, so that you cannot use it to
	format a hard disk inadvertently.  After formatting, ELFTREE will
	resume moving the files.

	After moving the directories, ELFTREE attempts to remove any
	empty tagged directories from the tree for your convenience.

	NOTE: When moving directories, ELFTREE will only move those
	      files that match the current search specification (set
	      under the [F10] key) and attributes.  You may want to
	      change the specifications before moving.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     EMPTY FILES OR THOSE WITH SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	DOS will not copy files of zero length and, when it copies
	read-only files, the newly created files will not be read-only.
	As a convenience, ELFTREE will move zero-length files for you
	and, if any of your files have special attributes set (hidden,
	read-only, etc.), they will be retained when moved.  Some programs
	use hidden empty files as a form of copy protection.

			 █ Notes and Files █
			 █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	Ever need to attach a brief note to a file?  It might be a short
	description of what the file contains, of what still needs to be
	done with the file (as a reminder), or whatever.

	ELFTREE lets you attach a note to a file, to erase a note attached
	to a file, or to search for files whose notes contain a string
	that you are looking for.  (One caution, however.  You can only
	use the Note tool when working with one directory of files.)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ADD OR EDIT A NOTE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To add a note to the currently highlighted file, or edit one that
	has been attached to it just select Note Add from the main menu,
	and enter (or change) the note.  When you have completed it, tap
	[ENTER] to keep it.

	To attach notes to more than one file, just tag them first.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ERASE A NOTE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To erase a note that is attached to the currently selected file, 
	just select Note Erase from the menu.  If you wish to remove notes
	from more than one file, or you are in Immediate mode, just tag
	the files whose notes are to be deleted beforehand.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FIND A NOTE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Once you've added dozens of notes to your files, you may need help
	locating a particular note, and that's what Note Find is designed
	to do for you.  After selecting the tool, you'll be asked to enter
	a character string to look for.  Then, ELFTREE will look through
	all of the notes it has for the directory, and will tag those
	files where the note has the string you wanted.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FOR 4DOS USERS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you use 4DOS, you may be aware that it has a facility to attach
	notes to files as well.  ELFTREE can use these note files instead
	of creating duplicate ones, but you won't be able to save a note
	longer than 40 characters.  To enable 4DOS-style notes, use the
	command-line switch /4 (the switch /5 cancels this).  Also, be sure
	to use the command-line switch /N=#### to tell ELFTREE the maximum
	number of notes to reserve space for.


		       █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
		       █ Printing With ELFTREE █
		       █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can print the contents of one or many files, the current
	listing of files in the file information area, or a picture of
	the directory tree display for the current disk with ELFTREE.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PRINTER PARAMETERS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Before ELFTREE prints something (a file, the directory tree, a
	marked block) for you, you can tell it how you want the output to
	look.  Here are the parameters you can configure, and what they mean:

		PRINT AS IS
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you want ELFTREE to print exactly what's in the file, without
	converting tabs, printing the filename, paying attention to margins,
	etc., then enter a `Y' for this.  If you are in Immediate mode,
	entering a `Y' will proceed to print the file(s) immediately.

		SETUP STRING
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Sent just before each new page is started, the setup string can be
	used to change the number of lines per inch for your printer, to
	print in a particular typeface or a certain pitch, etc.

	Note: If you need to put the Escape character on the line for the
	setup string, use the key sequence [Alt-Z].

		PAGE HEADER
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You may wish to print something at the top of each page printed.
	Simply type it in the space provided.  Note: the Top Margin must
	be at least 2 for the page header to be printed.

		LEFT MARGIN
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Enter a number to indicate the number of character positions you
	wish each line to be indented by.

		RIGHT MARGIN
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Enter a number to indicate the last position a character may be
	printed on a line.  A line that is longer than what is allowed by
	the Left and Right margin settings will be split, with the balance
	of the line appearing on subsequent lines, as needed.

		TOP MARGIN
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Enter a number to indicate the number of blank lines to put at the
	top of each page printed.

		BOTTOM MARGIN
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Enter a number to indicate the number of blank lines to put at the
	bottom of each page printed.

		PAGE LENGTH
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Enter a number to indicate how many lines can be put on a page.  For
	example, if your printer is set for 6 lines per inch, and you are
	using 11 inch long paper, then use 66 here.  The number of text lines
	printed is this number minus the number of lines used for the top
	and bottom margins.

		CHANGE TABSTOP
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	By default, almost all printers expand tabs to the next tab stop,
	which are usually 8 positions apart.  If you wish for ELFTREE to
	choose a different tab separation, enter a number indicating what
	you wish for the new tab setting.

	Note: If you are printing a file that was printed to disk from your
	word processor, we recommend a setting of 0, as the file most likely
	contains its own margin settings.  We also recommend that you enter
	a `Y' for the Print As Is selection.

		PRINT FILENAME
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you print a file, you may wish the name of the file to appear
	at the top of each page.  If so, enter a `Y' in this box, otherwise
	enter `N'.  Note: the Top Margin setting must be at least 2 for this
	to have an effect.

		LINE NUMBERS
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you wish ELFTREE to put line numbers in front of each line that
	it prints, enter a `Y' for this.  Be sure that you enter a value
	for the Left Margin that will allow sufficient room for the numbers
	to be printed, otherwise this option is ignored!  ELFTREE will
	print line numbers up to 4 billion plus.

		PRINTER PORT
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Currently, ELFTREE supports printing only to parallel ports LPT1,
	LPT2, and LPT3.  Enter a `1' if you want LPT1, a `2' to indicate
	LPT2, or a `3' to indicate LPT3.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PRINT ONE FILE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To print one file, select PRINT from the main menu and HILIGHTED
	from the next menu.  Fill in the printer parameters, tap [F10],
	and ELFTREE will start printing.  After the file is printed,
	ELFTREE will send a form feed to the printer for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PRINT SEVERAL FILES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To print more than one, just `tag' the files you want to use,
	select PRINT from the main menu, and TAGGED from the submenu,
	fill in the printer parameters, tap [F10], and and ELFTREE will
	start printing.  ELFTREE will send a form feed to the printer for
	you after each file is done.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PRINT DIRECTORY LISTING
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To print the current directory listing, just select PRINT from
	the main menu, and LISTING from the submenu.  The listing will
	be sent to the printer in the order currently displayed, so you
	may want to Sort [F2] it and Rearrange [F5] it before printing.
	If files are tagged, ELFTREE will ask you if you want to include
	only the tagged files when it prints the listing.  If any of the
	files have a note attached, the note will appear as well.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       INTERRUPT PRINTING
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can interrupt ELFTREE while it is printing by tapping a key
	on your keyboard.  You then tap [R] to resume, or [ESC] to quit.


		      █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
		      █ Renaming A File Or Directory █
		      █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can rename one or many files listed in the file information
	area with ELFTREE.  In addition, if you have DOS 3.X or later,
	you can rename directories with ELFTREE as well.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       RENAME ONE FILE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To rename one file, just highlight it, select RENAME, (select
	HIGHLIGHTED from the submenu if files are tagged), enter the
	new name for it, and tap [ENTER].  ELFTREE will not re-sort the
	file information area when you rename a file, but you can force
	it to do this by using the Sort [F2] key.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       RENAME SEVERAL FILES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To rename more than one files , just `tag' the ones you want to
	use, select RENAME from the main menu and TAGGED from the submenu
	and ELFTREE will feed them to you for renaming, one by one.  If you
	want to use a pattern to rename all of the tagged files, just type
	in the pattern (it must either use DOS wildcards, or begin with a
	period, to be recognized as a pattern by ELFTREE) you want to use
	for the first file.  ELFTREE will sense the pattern, (if any) and
	will ask if you want to use the same pattern to rename the rest of
	the files.  Answer [Y] if you want the rest of the files to be
	renamed using this pattern.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       RENAME A DIRECTORY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To rename a directory, just highlight it as you would a file
	(directories cannot be tagged), select RENAME, enter the new
	name for it, and tap [ENTER].  ELFTREE will rearrange the
	directory tree display, if needed, so that the directories
	are still in alphabetical order.  This saves you the effort
	of rescanning the disk to rebuild the directory structure.


		      █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
		      █ Get Space Usage On A Disk █
		      █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE can tell you how much of a disk's space is in use, how
	much is available for use and how much space the disk is capable
	of holding.

	To check the space on a disk, just select SPACE from the main
	menu and give it the disk letter to use.

	The displayed information will look something like this:

			    5,879,808 left
			   15,341,568 used
			   21,221,376 total
				 (72% full)
				5,120 tagged
			      471,284 RAM free
			      655,360 RAM installed

	The first number tells you how much space remains on your disk.

	The second number tells you how many bytes have been used up on
	the disk by directories and files.

	The third number tells you the capacity of your disk, if nothing
	were stored on it.

	The percentage gives you an idea of how full your disk is.

	The fifth number tells you how much space the tagged files use
	on the chosen disk (or would if they were copied there).

	The last two numbers tell you how much memory is available, and how
	much is installed on your machine (EMS, etc. is not included).

	Together, these figures will help you stay on top of how much
	disk space your current applications are using on your disk.
	This will help you to decide when to remove them from the disk,
	or upgrade the capacity of the disks on your system.

			    █ Tagging Files █
			    █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE can perform many of its operations on either one file
	or several.  The mechanism by which you tell ELFTREE which files
	to use for your next operation is called TAGGING, and there are
	eight ways to do it.  After you have learned how to tag files,
	you are ready to discover the real power of ELFTREE.  By tagging
	files, you can instruct ELFTREE to work with a diverse group of
	them with just a couple of keystrokes.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	     TAG HIGHLIGHTED FILE ONLY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If the currently highlighted item in the file information area
	is a file, you can `tag' it by tapping [SPACEBAR].  When you
	do this, a `' symbol will appear to the left of the file name,
	and the totals for tagged files at the bottom will change to
	reflect your action.  To `untag' a file, just highlight it again
	and tap [SPACEBAR] again.  This will remove the `', and
	the totals will be changed accordingly.

	Note: Directories cannot be tagged.  When the highlighted item
	      is a directory and you tap [SPACEBAR], the highlight
	      moves to the first file after the directory, if possible.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	If you need to tag or untag more than a few files, use the TAG
	menu selection to reveal some additional choices available to
	you.  Here is a description of each option on this submenu:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     ALL
	     ▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will `tag' all files in the file
	information area.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     DIFF
	     ▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will `tag' those files that are not
	identical to the files in the last directory you were in.  You will
	be asked whether you want the files compared by bytes, which takes
	longer, or by properties, which just compares the sizes, date/time
	stamp, and attributes.  Answer [S] for the slower operation, or [F]
	for the faster one.  If you choose [S], you must tag the files you
	want compared if you want to compare more than one.

	After comparing each pair of files, the file in the current directory
	is either tagged, retagged, or untagged, according to whether the
	file in the other directory is different, does not exist, or is
	found to be identical, respectively.

	The keystroke sequence [Ctrl-F8] also activates this feature.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     GROUP
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will let you specify (using DOS
	wildcards * and ? if necessary) which files should be `tagged'.

	  Here are some examples:
	     *.EXE    - tags all files with an extension of `.EXE'
	     TR*.*    - tags all files that begin with `TR'
	     BA*.PAS  - tags all files that begin with `BA' and have
			an extension of `.PAS'
	     ???.*    - tags all files that have three letters in their
			filename and may or may not have an extension.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     HIGH
	     ▀▀▀▀
	This option will `tag' all of the files above the highlight bar,
	but will not tag the file highlighted.  This is handy, for
	example, when your files are sorted by date/time, and you want
	to tag all of the files that are before or after a certain date.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     INVERT
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will cause all `tagged' files to
	become `untagged', and all `untagged' files to be `tagged'.
	This is most useful when you want to tag all but a few of the
	files in the current directory.  In this scenario, you would
	`tag' the files you DON'T WANT, then select TAG/INVERT.  Presto!
	the files you do want are now `tagged', as desired.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     KEEP
	     ▀▀▀▀
	Select this option when you wish to restrict the file display to
	only those files that are currently tagged.  For example, you may
	wish to work with files relating to a particular project, and no
	others.  To do this, just tag the files you want kept for the
	display and select [T]ag [K]eep from the menu bar.  If you wish to
	save this setting to a file, choose [F]ind [S]ave to do so.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     LOW
	     ▀▀▀
	This option will `tag' all of the files below and including the
	highlight bar.  This is handy, for example, when your files are
	sorted by date/time, and you want to tag all of the files that
	are before or after a certain date.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     NOTES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will `tag' all files in the file
	information area that have a note attached to them.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     RETAG
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	After ELFTREE performs an operation on one or more files, it
	puts a small `o' in front of it where the `' was.  This lets
	you `tag' the files again, in case you want to perform an
	additional operation on them.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     UNTAG
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	When you select this option, you will `untag' some or all of the
	files in the file information area.  If you have one or more files
	`tagged' (denoted by a solid diamond), and others are `retagged'
	(denoted by a hollow circle), then ELFTREE will just clear the
	tags off of the ones marked with the diamond.  If no files are
	tagged, then all of the `retag' symbols will be cleared.  This
	two-step process lets you isolate the files that are `retagged'
	for a particular operation.  As an example, you might use the Tag
	Diff selection to compare two directories, which leaves some files
	tagged (which means they are in both but are not identical) and
	others retagged (which means that they are not in the other directory
	at all).  By clearing the tagged files, you can then use Tag Retag
	to select the files that did not exist in the other directory.

			    █ Viewing A File █
			    █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE can show you the contents of any file on your disk, no
	matter how large it is.  This is handy when you need to take a
	peek inside a file, but your editor cannot handle it.  For
	example, you might want to look at the documents in your word
	processing directory to see which ones were memos to your boss.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     VIEWING MODES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE can display your file in one of these modes:

	   1. Normal - Filtering of carriage return/line feed pairs only.
	   2. Hex    - ASCII on the right, corresponding HEX on the left.
	   3. High Bit Off - Only use lower 7 bits of each character.
	   4. Text and Graphics - Skip control characters (below 32).
	   5. Text Only - Skip control and graphics characters (above 126).
	   6. A-Z, a-z - Show alphabetic characters only.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     ACTIVE KEYS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	These keys are available while viewing a file:

       [Ctrl-V] - For EGA adapters, this toggles bwtween 25 and 43 line
		   modes.  For VGA adapters, this cycles among 25, 28 and
		   50 line modes.

	    [A] - Repeats search for text.
	    [B] - Mark beginning/end of a block in the file.
	    [C] - Change case used for text search.
  [Shift-TAB],
      [TAB],[D] - Change text filter used for displaying file.
	    [E] - Leaves viewer, invokes editor for this file.
	    [F] - Initiates search for text.
	    [H] - Changes to the HEX display filter.
	    [J] - Jump to specific position in file being viewed.
	    [T] - Toggles whether tabs are expanded or not.

[Alt-1]-[Alt-8] - Changes tabstop expansion to 1-8, respectively.
	[+],[-] - Increases/Decreases tabstop setting by 1.
	   [F8] - Toggles whether the [ENTER], [->] and [<-] keys affect the
		   moving-bar menu selections.

      [Ctrl ->] - Highlights next menu item on the moving-bar menu.
      [Ctrl <-] - Highlights previous menu item on the moving-bar menu.

   [Ctrl-ENTER] - Selects the highlighted menu item.
	[ENTER] - same as above.

	   [->] - If Menu is active, highlights next menu item, otherwise
		   moves forward 1 byte in the file.
	   [<-] - If Menu is active, highlights previous menu item, otherwise
		   moves backward 1 byte in the file.
	    [] - Moves backward 1 line in the file.
	    [] - Moves forward 1 line in the file.
	 [PgUp] - Moves backward 1 page in the file.
	 [PgDn] - Moves forward 1 page in the file.
	 [HOME] - Moves to beginning of file.
	  [END] - Moves to end of file.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     BRING UP EDITOR
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can bring up your editor to work on the file you're currently
	viewing by tapping [E].  This is handy if you see a need for
	changes in the file you're viewing.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     CUSTOMIZABLE TAB STOPS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you regularly browse text files, you'll appreciate a special
	feature of ELFTREE.  You can tell ELFTREE whether to expand
	tabs to selected tab stop settings or not and, if they are
	expanded, how far apart the tab stops should be (from 1 to 8).
	If you're a programmer, this makes it handier to view listings.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     FOR EGA and VGA DISPLAYS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	While viewing a file, you can advance or go backward one line at
	a time (two if in hex display mode) or one screen at a time.  You
	can also change the display (if you have an EGA) to 43 line mode
	from 25 line mode or vice versa.  If you have a VGA, you cycle among
	25, 28 and 50 line modes.  (The keystroke [Ctrl-V] activates this.
	Hold down the [Ctrl] key, tap [V] once, then release both.)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     AUTOMATIC SCROLLING
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can scroll either forward or backward in your file at varying
	speeds.  To do this, tap either the UpArrow or DownArrow keys
	(this tells ELFTREE what direction to scroll), and then the speed
	(1 - 9) digit.  A speed of 1 is slowest, and 9 is the fastest.
	You can adjust the speed during scrolling by tapping the digit
	corresponding to the new setting.  To stop scrolling, tap [0].
	(The key you tap will be acted on, so if you touch [E], for
	example, you will stop scrolling and invoke the editor.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     SEARCH FOR A STRING
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can tell ELFTREE to look for text in the file.  To do this,
	tap either [W] or [F], just like when you are looking for a file
	or directory.  In the box that appears, type the text you wish to
	search for.  If ELFTREE does not find it, you will be told,
	otherwise the text will appear near the top of the screen.

	To repeat the search, tap [A] (for Again).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     JUMP AROUND IN FILE
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can jump to a specific position in the file being viewed.  Tap
	[J] (for JUMP) and type in the position you want to jump to.  For
	example, if you're viewing a 24 million byte file, you can jump to
	the 2 millionth character by entering 2M, 2000K, or 2,000,000.  The
	suffix `M' is treated as `Million' and the suffix `K' is treated as
	`Thousand'.  The byte in the upper left corner of the file viewing
	area is the byte at this position.

	You can also enter the position as a hexadecimal (base 16) number.
	For example, if you wish 2M to be treated as 2 Megabytes, enter it
	as X2M (the leading `X' indicates that it's in base 16, or `hex').
	Of course, you can enter a `hex' number directly, such as FFFF
	(which is 65,535 in decimal).  You only need to use the leading `X'
	for hexadecimal numbers if there are no `hex' numerals in the
	position you specify.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     WORKING WITH BLOCKS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	While viewing a file, you may wish to:

		A. Print a portion of it
		B. Append a portion to another file
		C. Convert a portion to UPPER case
		D. Convert a portion to lower case
		E. Convert a portion to Proper case
		F. Replace a portion with some character
		G. Replace all Null (hex 00) in a portion
		H. Replace all Control chars in a portion
		I. Strip the High bit from all characters in a portion

	With ELFTREE, this is easy, and requires no programming.  Simply
	move to the start of the block you wish to use, tap [B] to indicate
	that you want to define a Block (the block is marked at your current
	position in the file, which is the position of the first character
	in the file viewing area), then move to the end of the portion, and
	tap [B] again.  A menu of block commands will appear.  Just select
	the command you want, and it will be processed immediately, leaving
	you at the menu in case you wish to use another command as well, or
	to repeat a previous one. When you leave this menu, your block
	becomes unmarked.

	You can use a block as large as the entire file you are viewing.

	Note: The RightArrow and LeftArrow keys will move you one position
	      in the corresponding direction.  These are especially handy
	      for marking EXACTLY the block you need.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EXTENSION SENSITIVITY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can train ELFTREE to bring up your word processing viewer when
	the currently highlighted file has an extension of, say, DOC, or to
	load your spreadsheet viewer when the current file's extension starts
	with a W.  To do this, create an ASCII file with this layout:

	DBF C:\TREE\VIEWDBF.EXE
	DOC C:\WP\WPVIEW.EXE -x		(parameters can be used)
	TXT                             (ELFTREE uses internal viewer)
	W*  C:\SS\VSHEET.EXE
	ZIP D:\PKZIP -v #f		(macro symbols can be used)

	Save this file under the name VIEWERS.ELF in the same directory
	that the other ELFTREE files are located.  The next time you load
	ELFTREE, it will be `sensitized' to these extensions.  This means,
	for example, that when you highlight the file REPORT.DOC and tap
	[V], this command is performed for you:

	C:\WP\WPVIEW.EXE -x REPORT.DOC

	You can choose up to 40 extensions for ELFTREE to be aware of,
	and the extensions can use the DOS wildcards `*' and `?'.

	Notes: ELFTREE will allow you to have multiple VIEWERS.ELF files.
		When you enter a directory, ELFTREE looks for a VIEWERS.ELF
		file and, if it finds one, `resensitizes' itself to what is
		in this new one.  When you then move on to another directory,
		ELFTREE stays sensitive to these extensions.
		
		If the extension of the file does not match any of the
		extensions in VIEWERS.ELF, ELFTREE uses its internal viewer.

	       See the help on DOS Gateway for related information.
