The following features make the program easier to navigate.  Since 
they're powerful, and easy to use once you know about them, we wanted to 
call them to your attention.


                             SUBJECT ICON MENU 

There are three Subject Icon Menus.  Each menu has icons for 27 different
subjects.  When the program starts one of the menus will appear.

You can find out which subject an icon represents, without actually 
selecting it, by using the TAB key or by positioning the mouse pointer 
over the icon and pressing, but not releasing, the left mouse button.  
Additional information about the currently selected icon will appear at
the bottom of the screen.

The two "File Folder" icons in the lower left hand corner of the screen
give you access to the other two Subject Icon Menus.  If you'd prefer to 
use the Subject List Box, Subject Finder List Box, Word Search, etc. 
just click on the "Cancel" icon and you'll move directly to the Browser.


                               BROWSER TIP 

Press any letter to move the Browser's highlight bar to the first record
whose selected key string begins with that letter. 

For example, if the active index is Subject, then pressing either "B" or
"b" will position the Browser's highlight bar on the first record in the
subject of Beauty, which happens to be the first subject which begins with
the letter "B."

Note:  The currently Active Index is displayed at the bottom of the Browser
screen.


                                SECTIONS 

Every subject is divided into the following sections:

   1. Essence   -- Root, Heart

   2. Opposites -- Balance, Change, Paradoxes

   3. Insight   -- Perspective, Viewpoint

   4. Positive  -- Aspects, Influences, Presence, Qualities, and Virtues

   5. Negative  -- Aspects, Influences, Absence, Qualities, and Vices

   6. Advice    -- Strategy, Suggestions, Helpful Information

   7. Potpourri -- Poetry, Verse, Humor, Flowers and Weeds

This organization enables you to readily locate all items of a particular
type - just click on the "Balloons Button" in the View Screen to access the
Sections Dialog; then select a section by clicking the left mouse button on
the desired checkbox.  

However, since each section has both an individual and a collective
meaning, the best results will be obtained by reading each subject from 1
to 7.


                                 FILTERS

Filters allow you customize the quotes that are displayed.  They act as 
your electronic gatekeepers.  

Here's how they work:  
Each filter tests for its named quality.  The display gate opens 
only if the test is passed.  When multiple filters are ON it 
is only necessary for a quote to pass one test to be shown.
