}
*SYS_EXIT

	     ¯ Exiting to DOS ®

If you answer [Y] to confirm exit to DOS, you will
end up in the computer's Disk Operating System.
DOS contains low-level functions which allow you to
run programs, create directories, delete files, etc.

Since you effectively have DOS access at any time thru
PowerMenu's Window to DOS [F4], you will probably
never need to actually EXIT PowerMenu.

If you need to do some quick DOS commands, we
recommend using the Window to DOS rather than exiting.


*SYS_DELETE

	  ¯ Deleting a Selection ®

If you answer [Y] to confirm deletion, you will
blank out all information for this menu choice.

If the selection contains the name of a submenu, the
submenu itself will NOT be deleted.  You can call up
a submenu from any selection by specifying its name.







}
*SYS_ADDMENU

	  ¯ Creating a New Submenu ®

Answering [Y] confirms creation of a new submenu.
A new menu will be referenced by the name you have
given it, and can be called from any other menu.

Each new submenu will occupy about 1.8Kb of disk
space.	If you need to list or delete submenus, use
the utility SUBMENU.EXE included with your PowerMenu
system disk.





}
*SYS_SWAP

	  ¯ Swapping Selections ®

With this function, you can SWAP an item with
any location on the menu by using the [] and
[] keys.

The highlighted selection will be in the new menu
location, and the previous one will be swapped with
the old.

When you're ready to confirm a swap, hit the
ÄÙ key.

Hitting [Esc] aborts the any swap operation.
}
*UTIL_MAINH

	    ¯ PowerMenu Utilities ®

The utilities menu gives you access to many of
PowerMenu's more advanced features.

To select a item, move the highlighted bar with
[] and [] and hit ÄÙ, or hit the first letter
of the desired selection.  [Esc] will return you
to your previous User Menu.

Detailed help for each function can be obtained by
hitting [F1] when the selection is highlighted.


}
*UTIL_SYSIN

	¯ PowerMenu System Information ®

This selection causes PowerMenu to do a hardware
check of your system.  On the screen, you will see
an 'inventory list' of equipment, memory, options,
etc. which are present on your machine.

System information is particularly useful when
installing new piece of software/hardware, as it
allows you to see if your PC has the minimum system
requirements needed to support it.



}
*UTIL_RAMST

	   ¯ PowerMenu RAM Status ®

PowerMenu will check the system RAM to determine how
much RAM is installed, used, and available.

The number of bytes available tells you how much
memory your applications program will have when
it has been invoked by PowerMenu.  It does not
reflect the memory which is temporarily used
by PowerMenu's core program, MENU.OVL.




}
*UTIL_DISKS

	  ¯ PowerMenu Disk Manager ®

This function gives you complete control over
your disks, directories, and files.

Normally purchased as a separate PowerMenu option,
detailed instructions are available in the
accompanying DiskMan (tm) documentation.






}
*UTIL_PRINT

	  ¯ PowerMenu Printer Status ®

This function will display the status of the default
list device.

This is a very handy way to find out why your printer
is or is not printing.	In most cases, the printer
status window should say "On Line", which means that
it is ready to accept info from the computer.

If the window says something like "Out of Paper",
"Disconnected", "Off Line", etc., then you can adjust
your printer accordingly.

}
*UTIL_MAPOF

	  ¯ Map of Resident Processes ®

The map utility will search your system RAM and look
for resident programs.	Popular resident programs
include Homebase, Sidekick, Keyworks, and many others,
all of which are fighting for control of your keyboard.

With this function, you can see which programs are
currently loaded and in what order.  Incompatibilities
may be overcome by reloading these programs in a
different order.

PowerMenu, incidentally, is not truly RAM-resident,
because it unloads itself upon Exit to DOS.
}
*UTIL_FLOCT

	  ¯ Locate File Within Directory ®

The File Locator utility will search a directory for
a file and list the path/name for all matches.	You
specify the starting directory and file name.  If
the starting directory is not given then the search
starts with the root directory.  The standard DOS
wildcard characters * and ? are permitted.

The search encompasses all subdirectories below the
starting directory.

To search across all fixed drives use an * as the
drive designation, e.g., *:\*.exe.

}
*UTIL_TIMES

	      ¯ Setting the Time ®

You can set the system time with this function.
Simply enter the time in 24 hour format in the form

	hh:mm:ss

Examples:	4:15pm	is	16:15:00  ÄÙ
		8:45am	is	08:45:00  ÄÙ
		8:45pm	is	20:45:00  ÄÙ

This sets time for your current session, but will not
permanently change time on clock/calender cards.

}
*UTIL_DATES

	      ¯ Setting the Date ®

You can set the system date with this function.
Simply enter the date in the format as shown
above the input box.  Use options window (F3)
to change the date format.  Three formats are
supported by PowerMenu:

  American  mm/dd/yy  Jan 14, 1987  01/14/87
  European  dd/mm/yy  Nov 21, 1986  21/11/86
  Asian     yy/mm/dd  Dec 25, 1990  90/12/25

This sets date for your current session, but will not
permanently change the date on clock/calender cards.

}
*UTIL_DOSWN

	     ¯ PowerMenu DOS Window ®

This utility opens up a full-screen window which
allows you to talk to your computer at the DOS level.

Your DOS environment (PATH, PROMPT, etc.) is restored,
and any DOS command may be entered.

If you need to do some DOS commands, we recommend
using this Window to DOS rather than Exiting to DOS.
The RAM overhead is less than 5Kb, and much less time
is needed to restart PowerMenu.

To return to PowerMenu from Window to DOS, type 'exit'.
}
*UTIL_COLOR

	  ¯ Setting your PowerColors ®

The Colors utility permits changes to your PowerMenu
color setup.

Use [] and [] to select the desired item and change
the FOREGROUND color by hitting the [+] and [-]
keys.  This will increase/decrease the foreground
colors.  BACKGROUND colors are changed in the same
way, but you must hold down the [Shift] key with the
[+] and [-].

You may have to exit and restart PowerMenu to see your
new colors.
}
*UTIL_OPTIO

	 ¯ Setting your PowerOptions ®

You can customize PowerMenu to your particular needs
by enabling/disabling certain PowerMenu options.

Use [] and [] to select the desired item and toggle
the option with the [+] and [-] keys. If the Screen
Save option is decreased to 0, Screen Save will be
disabled.

If you specify an Options Password, you will need to
enter this password before you can access the Options
Menu.

}
*UTIL_USERS

	  ¯ Maintaining your PowerAccounts ®

The User Accounts utility permits changes to your User
Accounts.  You must have Supervisor or Add-User
privileges to access this window.

The names for each account are displayed.  Maintenace
operations are activated using function keys F5-F10:
     F5 - change User Account configuration data
     F6 - display data for a User Account
     F7 - edit User Account Data
     F8 - add User Account
     F9 - delete User Account
    F10 - activate Projects window
}
*UTIL_USAGE

     ¯ Examine PowerMenu Usage Infomation ®

As PowerMenu is used it logs the user name, project,
application/activity, date, start time and stop time.
The View Usage utility provides you the capability to
examine the usage data collected by PowerMenu.

You may sort this data by user name, project and
application.  In addition, you may show usage for a
particulay week, or even for a particulay time of
day.  Data may be written to screen, printer or file

From this window, you may delete usage data older
than a particular time.
}
*UTIL_EXITU


Exiting the PowerMenu Utilities will return you
to the previous User Menu.











}
*UTIL_FNAM

	   ¯ File Locator - Path\FileName ®

Use this window to input the starting directory and
file name for the File Locator.  For example:

   \dir1\subdir2\filex.txt - search starting at
   directory \dir1\subdir2\ for all files named
   filex.txt

If a path is not provided the search starts with
root directory.  The standard DOS wildcard
characters * and ? are permitted.



}

}
*ERR_MAXMEN

	    ¯ Maximum Number of Menus ®

Although you can create as many submenus as you want,
only FOUR User Menus are allowed on the screen at one
time.

This is not really a limitation, as this allows for
over 10,000 applications, all only a few keystrokes
away.





}
*ERR_BADMEN

	   ¯ Bad Submenu Name ®

You have specified an invalid submenu name.

Submenu names must be from 1-8 characters, and
