STARTUP INFORMATION

TYPE MANUAL or it may be hard printed by typing COPY A:MANUAL PRN. The 30
page manual (33 sheets) should be printed immediately and a tractor or pin feed
should be used if available. Set the printer to 12 characters per inch and
set the 9 1/2" paper as if to print on the first line of the sheet.

system. Replace the system disk with a backup copy of PORTRAC (See page 3 of
