Press F1 to return to main screen
Beginners please read the documentation first.
PRINTING LABELS: When entering the height and width of labels,
remember to measure the labels from edge to edge - i.e., the packet may
say 2 15/16", but this is 3" from top edge to top edge, i.e., the jump
between each label.
FILE NAMES: Remember that if the file is in a different directory, you
must put the drive and directory, e.g., C:\LETTERS\MYLABEL.LBL. If in
the same directory, the file name is enough.
FIELDS: Don't press return between each Y and N (this is to make it
quicker).
METHOD OF LABEL PRINTING: If you only want lots of labels of one name
then use CHOOSE A LABEL; if you want several of various labels then
choose SELECT FROM LIST. You must press return over one choice, or
nothing will print.
SORTING A FILE: Always check your file afterwards with LIST - with
blank spaces or "The"'s at the beginning of lines, you may not always
get the alphabetic sort you expect.

In the CREATE section, you can only use files in the current directory
(same directory as the program).
START a file - you must use a NEW filename. If you use one with the
extension (last 3 letters after the full stop) LBL then you can see the
files listed by pressing F2. You won't see your new file till you
start the program again.
CONVERT a file - this puts the names of the fields at the top of the
file, to make it easier when adding new records.
For further detail on ADD, CHANGE & DELETE, see the documentation.
When you are entering items in the fields part of the screen, use F10
to exit. This is so that you can use escape codes in your labels.
Beginners please ignore this!
For further help, please see the documentation, or write to the author.
If you are a beginner, it is important that you read all the
documentation first, before you start to create new files.
