If you have more than one Golfer in the database you will first be required to select the Golfer from a "PickList" by moving the Arrow Keys (UpArrow and DownArrow) causing the bar to HiLight the correct Golfer, then you press <Enter> to select that Golfer. Next, if you have more than one Course Record in the database, you will be asked to select a Course from the "PickList" using the same method that you used when selecting the Golfer. If you only have one Golfer and Course in the database, you will go directly to the screen where all the information needed by GolfClub will be entered. You really should bring your score card home with you to be assured of entering the requested information correctly. (DATE) The 1st prompt will ask you for the date the game was played. If you are entering the information on the same day that the game was played, just press <Enter> and the current date will be entered for you. If you need to enter a different date, you must enter the date using the date format you selected when setting up GolfClub for the 1st time. The two formats are "MM-DD-YYYY" or "DD-MM-YYYY" with "MM" being the month, "DD" being the day and "YYYY" being the year. If the month is from Jan. - Sep (01 - 09) then you must enter a zero "0" as the first digit. If the day is from the 1st - 9th (01 - 09) then you must also enter a zero "0" as the first digit here also. Entering a Month larger than 12 or a Day larger than 31 will not be accepted. If you attempt to enter a Month or Day smaller than 10 in the first space, it will automatically place a zero "0" there and jump to the second space. The Year must be entered using all four digits as in 1994. (PARTNERS) The next prompt will ask you for the name(s) of your playing partners for the game being entered. If you played alone, press <Enter> without typing anything here and this prompt will be skipped. When entering the names here, remember that this field is limited to 30 spaces so it might be best if you only enter the first names when entering more than 2 or 3 playing partners. (HOLES PLAYED) Here you enter the number of holes you played for this game. Only 2 figures will be accepted here; either 9 or 18. If you enter 9 then you will be asked if you played the front side (Holes 1-9) or the back side (holes 10-18). If the game is a 9 hole game, GolfClub will automatically select the score box for the front 9 or the back 9 depending on the side you indicated. If you entered 18, then GolfClub will display the score box for the entire 18 holes of the Course selected earlier. (SCORES) The score box will show the Hole # and the Par for each hole on the course. When entering scores here, you MUST NOT use the Arrow Keys (LeftArrow & RightArrow) to skip from box to box. Simply enter the score for the hole then press the <Enter> Key to go to the next hole. If you are a registered user of GolfClub AND you have an established Handicap Index AND you have indicated that you want to use the "Equitable Stroke Control" (ESC) rule, GolfClub will check each score as you enter it to see that it fits within the range of the ESC rule. If it's greater than the limit allowed, GolfClub will advise you and adjust the score accordingly. The maximum score for any hole is 25. The minimum score for any hole is 1. If you wish to stop before completing the Game Record, you may press the <F10> Key then press the <Enter> Key and you will be returned to the Main Menu. The record will not be saved if you use this means to exit early. After entering the scores for the first 9 holes, the 9 hole total score will be posted. If it's under the minimum score allowed by the U.S.G.A. or over the maximum score allowed by the U.S.G.A. GolfClub will advise you and adjust the score accordingly. The minimum score allowed for handicapping purposes is 27. The maximum score allowed depends on the Golfer's age and sex. GolfClub knows the age and sex of each Golfer along with the U.S.G.A. limits and will make all the necessary adjust- ments as needed. (GREENS) Greens hit in regulation are based on each hole as follows: Hole Par Strokes to reach Green -------- ---------------------- Par 3 ........... 1 (Hit from Tee Box) Par 4 ........... 2 (Hit on 2rd shot) Par 5 ........... 3 (Hit on 3rd shot) NOTE - Hitting greens on Par 4 holes on the first shot and Par 5 holes on the second shot are still considered hitting the green in regulation. (TOTAL PUTTS) Enter the total number of Putts required to complete the game. This figure will be used when computing a Golfer's Putting average. (FAIRWAYS HIT) Hitting a fairway in regulation means that your ball lands IN the Fairway on the FIRST shot off the Tee. Par 3 holes are NOT included in Fairways hit. If you miss the Green on a par 3 hole and your ball lands in the Fairway, it's considered a Green missed and NOT a Fairway hit. Looking at the percent of Fairways hit at the Summary Screen will give a good indication of how accurate a Golfer is with the Driver. (SAND SAVES) Sand Saves Attempted means the number of times you were in a green side sand trap. Sand traps alongside Fairways (also called "Fairway bunkers") are NOT to be used when entering the number of sand saves attempted. If you attempted no sand saves, press <Enter> here without typing a number and you will be moved to the next prompt. Sand Saves Made are the number of times you save Par after being in a green side sand trap. If you do not make Par on the hole where you were in a green side sand trap, then do not enter anything. You may skip this prompt by pressing <Enter> without entering a number. Looking at the percent of Sand Saves attempted/made at the Summary Screen will give a Golfer an indication of how well he/she uses sand wedges and whether or not this would be a part of his/her game the Golfer needs to work on. (SAVE - STARTOVER - QUIT) After completing all the above information, you will be asked to <S>ave the record, Start<O>ver or <Q>uit without saving. Select one of these options and press the appropriate letter on your keyboard. Pressing "S" here will cause the record to be saved in the database and will allow it to be called up for review at any time along with all information recorded being included in the Summary for the Golfer. ~~~ [2/3] ADD GOLFER RECORD ───────────────── Information entered here is used by GolfClub when doing Handicaps, minimum and maximum scores, etc. It can be used also for keeping up with a player's age, address, phone number, etc. At least one (1) Golfer Record must be saved in the database before a Game Record can be added. (FIRST and LAST NAME) Enter the FIRST name of the Golfer and press <Enter> to move to the prompt for the LAST name. DO NOT enter BOTH the first and last name at either of these prompts as GolfClub does some sorting based on the last name and it needs to know how to recognize it as being a legitimate last name or first name. (SEX) GolfClub needs to know the sex of each Golfer so proper handicap figures can be established. Also, the U.S.G.A. has established minimum and maximum allowable scores based on both sex and age. You will be re- quired to enter either "M" or "F" at this prompt. It doesn't matter if you type it lower case or upper case ("m" or "F"), GolfClub will know the difference and adjust accordingly. (AGE) GolfClub needs to know the age of each Golfer so proper handicap figures can be established. Also, the U.S.G.A. has established minimum and maximum allowable scores based on both sex and age. You will be re- quired to enter an age here that is over 4 and under 100. (ADDRESS) Enter here the address (street or P.O. box) of the Golfer. Do not exceed the field length indicated by the dark spaces or you will be re- quired to complete the prompt again. (CITY) (STATE) (ZIP CODE) Enter here the city where the Golfer resides, the two letter postal code for the state and the ZIP code. (HOME PHONE and WORK PHONE) Enter at these two prompts first the home telephone of the Golfer then the work or office phone. Either of these numbers could also be a car phone if desired. (HANDICAP INDEX) If the Golfer already has an established Handicap Index it should be entered at this prompt. If the Golfer does not have an established Handicap Index or it is not known, enter a zero "0" and press <Enter> (SAVE - STARTOVER - QUIT) After completing all the above information, you will be asked if you want to <S>ave the record, Start<O>ver or <Q>uit without saving. Select one of these options and press the appropriate letter on your keyboard. Pressing "S" here will cause the record to be saved in the database and will allow it to be called up when adding a new Game Record. Mouse users may place the Mouse pointer directly on the letter inside the "< >" and tap the LEFT Mouse button. ~~~ [2/4] ADD COURSE RECORD ───────────────── After completing this requirement for a Course, you will not be required to enter it again. A Course Record is saved in the database and is available each time a new Game Record is entered or the Course Record is selected for editing or display. You MUST have at least one Course Record saved in the database before a Game Record can be entered. (COURSE NAME) Enter here the name of the Course or Club. This field is limited to 20 characters so abbreviations may be necessary such as "Riverlawn CC" rather than "Riverlawn Country Club." (CITY and STATE) Enter here the name of the city/town where the course is located. Press <Enter> after entering the city and type the standard 2 letter Postal abbreviation for the state. (COURSE TYPE) If your course is one where you have only 9 holes and DO NOT have provisions for playing it as an 18 hole course (such as 2 Tee boxes for each hole) then press "Y" here. If your course is an 18 hole course (or a 9 hole course with 2 Tee boxes for each hole) press "N" here. (COURSE PAR) You will next be asked to enter the Par for the front 9 (1-9) then the Par for the back 9 (10-18). After doing this GolfClub will display the Course Par. If your course is a true 9 hole course, you must enter the Par figure at the required prompt. (HOLE PARS) Next you will be required to enter the Par value for each hole on the course. After completing this requirement, GolfClub will check to be sure the front side Par value and the back side Par value matches the total of the individual holes just entered. If the figures do not match, GolfClub will display a message box advising you which of the sides do not match the Par value indicated at the top of the screen. NOTE - GolfClub does not accept Hole Par values of less than 3 or more than 5. Acceptable Par values are 3, 4, and 5. (SLOPE and RATING) If your course is an approved U.S.G.A. course, it will have both a "Slope" and "Rating" assigned to it. The Course Pro/Manager should be able to make both of these figures available to you. Many courses have this information printed on the scorecard. If you have these figures then enter them at the next 2 prompts. The Slope is entered first. Pressing <Enter> here without typing a number will cause GolfClub to assign a default value of 135 as the Slope for the course. The next prompt will ask for the Rating of the course. Either enter the known rating of the Course or press <Enter> for the default value of 70.5 (CLUB PRO and TELEPHONE) The last 2 prompts ask you for the name of the club Pro/Manager and the telephone number. If this information is not known, press <Enter> to skip either or both of these prompts. TIP - Having the telephone number entered here will be handy in case you forget it and need to call for an advance "Tee time." (SAVE - STARTOVER - QUIT) After completing all the above information, you will be asked if you want to <S>ave the record, Start<O>ver or <Q>uit without saving. Select one of these options and press the appropriate letter on your keyboard. Pressing "S" here will cause the record to be saved in the database and allow it to be called up when adding a new Game Record. The Mouse user can place the Mouse pointer directly on the letter inside the "< >" and tap the LEFT Mouse button. ~~~ [2/6] UPDATE ALL LISTS ──────────────── Selecting this option will either create or update the file that contains the Master Lists of all Golfers in the database. These lists are sorted in both alphabetical order and by Handicap Index. These lists should be updated each time a new Golfer is added, a new Handicap Index is established/changed for an existing Golfer or a Golfers Record is edited. ~~~ [3/1] First you select a Golfer from the "PickList" presented, then from a second "PickList", select the record of choice and either tap the LEFT Mouse button or press <Enter>. GolfClub will display the selected Game Record in two (2) screens. The first screen will show a breakdown of all the stats for that particular game. After viewing this screen, press any key to move on to the next screen. The second screen will show the Golfer's score card for the selected game. At the bottom of this screen you will be offered the opportunity to print both the Game Record and the score card. Select <Y> to print or <N> to quit back to the Menu. The Mouse user can place the Mouse pointer directly on the letter inside the "< >" and tap the LEFT Mouse button. NOTE: The "Print" option is available only in the registered version of GolfClub. ~~~ [3/2] After selecting the Golfer whose Summary you wish to review from the "PickList", you will be shown a screen listing 41 different items about ALL the games this Golfer has recorded in the database. You may find this screen the most interesting of all as it tells you about the selected Golfer's history of all games recorded. It does not however, tell you how to improve the Golfer's golf game.

Next select the individual Game Record from the "PickList" using the Mouse or ArrowKeys (). The Golfers will be sorted alphabetically, and the games will be sorted by scores from lowest to highest. A screen will appear showing all scores and other amounts as originally saved when the game was first recorded. The course name and the Golfers Course Handicap can not be changed. If these items need to be changed, you must delete that Record and enter it again. The first item available for change is the date the game was played. The blinking cursor will appear in this box. If the date is correct press <Enter> without making any change to go to the next available block. When changing the date, be sure to stick with your selected date format. When a block is changed, the new figures will appear in bright yellow on a dark background. You MUST NOT use the Arrow Keys to move the blinking cursor. If you do not wish to change the item where the cursor is located then press the <Enter> Key to go to the next item until you reach the item you wish to change. After you have made the change, continue pressing the <Enter> Key until you reach the end. You can then press <S> to save the changes or <Q> to quit without saving the changes.

If you need to change the name of a Golfer, you must delete the Golfer Record then create a new one using the "Add Player" option. TIP - Use this to change the age of a Golfer, his/her address, phone numbers, age, etc. You should always keep up with a Golfers age so GolfClub can have the correct information when doing handicaps, etc. TIP - After changing a Golfers record, be sure to use the UPDATE LISTS option located under the ADD heading on the TopMenu Bar. ~~~ [4/4] Select the desired Course from the "PickList" and you will be able to change just about anything except the Course name. If you need to change the name of a Course you must delete the Course Record and create a new one using the "Add Course" option. TIP - Use this should the Rating and/or Slope values change or if one or more holes are changed to different Par values. ~~~ [5/1] (PORT #1) Select this option to use Parallel Port #1 for your Printer. This will be the Printer port that GolfClub uses when printing. NOTE - Most computers use Parallel Port #1 as the default printer port. Ports 2 and 3 are included as options for those users who have systems that are configured differently. ~~~ [5/2] (PORT #2) Select this option to use Parallel Port #2 for your Printer. This will be the Printer port that GolfClub uses when printing. ~~~ [5/3] (PORT #3) Select this option to use Parallel Port #3 for your Printer. This will be the Printer port that GolfClub uses when printing. ~~~ [5/4] (MM-DD-YYYY) Select this option if you wish to use the standard MM-DD-YYYY date format. This is the default format used when GolfClub is started for the first time. NOTE - GolfClub does some sorting based on the Month (MM) and Day (DD) so once a default date format is selected, it should not be changed. ~~~ [5/5] (DD-MM-YYYY) Select this option if you wish to use the Military or European style DD-MM-YYYY format. NOTE - GolfClub does some sorting based on the Day (DD) and Month (MM) so once a default date format is selected, it should not be changed. ~~~ [5/7] Use this option to delete a Golfer Record from the database. Keep in mind that when you delete a Golfer Record that GolfClub will also remove ALL his/her Game Records from the database and they will not be recoverable! You will be presented a "PickList" showing all the Golfers in the database. Move the bar () until the correct Golfer's name is HiLighted and press <Enter>. If you wish to cancel the "delete" operation, you can press <Escape> while at the "PickList" and be returned to the Main Menu. Mouse users can place the Mouse pointer on the desired line and tap the LEFT Mouse button to make the deletion. The Golfers will be sorted alphabetically. ~~~ [5/8] Use this option to remove a Game Record from the database. Step 1.. Select Golfer from "PickList" whose Game Record you want to delete. This will NOT delete the Golfer selected. The Golfers will be sorted alphabetically. Step 2.. Select Game Record from "PickList" that is to be deleted by moving the HiLight Bar down/up the list. When the desired record is HiLighted, press <Enter> Mouse users can move the Mouse pointer to the desired record and tap the LEFT Mouse button to cause that Game Record to be deleted. Step 3.. Watch the action in the "Progress Box" displayed on the left side of the screen. NOTE - If you wish to exit a "PickList" without making a selection press <Escape> or place Mouse pointer on rectangular dot (■)in the upper left corner of the "PickList" display. The dot will look something like this: "┌──┤■├────" NOTE - After a Game Record is deleted, GolfClub will automatically recalculate the Golfer's Handicap Index to reflect the change. NOTE - Once a Game Record is deleted, it will be lost forever! All deletions are permanent and the record will not be recoverable! ~~~ [5/9] You will be presented a "PickList" showing all the Courses in the database. Move the bar down/up the list until the correct Course's name is HiLighted and press <Enter>. If you wish to cancel the "delete" operation, you can press <Escape> while at the "PickList" and be returned to the Main Menu. Once a Course Record is deleted, it will be lost and gone forever! All deletions are permanent and the record will not be recoverable! ~~~ [6/1] A formula similar to the one used by the U.S.G.A. and the R.C.G.A. is used for the computations and provides similar results. A Golfer must have a minimum of five (5) Game Records (18 hole games) in the database before a Handicap Index can be determined. GolfClub checks the individual Golfer's Game Records and if he/she has at least five valid (18 hole) Game Records then the Index is calculated. 18-Hole Differentials Games to be used ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5 1 Lowest round 6-7 2 Lowest rounds 8-9 3 Lowest rounds 10-11 4 Lowest rounds 12-13 5 Lowest rounds 14-15 6 Lowest rounds 16-17 7 Lowest rounds 18 8 Lowest rounds 19 9 Lowest rounds 20+ 10 Lowest rounds from last 20 rounds The user will first be asked to select a Golfer Record from the "PickList". If only one Golfer is in the database, this selection does not have to be made. NOTE - The Handicap Index determined by GolfClub is not to be used as a Golfer's "official" Handicap Index when entering Tournaments where play- ers are flighted based on their Handicap. An "official" Handicap Index can only be obtained from the U.S.G.A. (through your local P.G.A. Pro- fessional) or the Royal Canadian Golf Association. Handicap Index's coming from the U.S.G.A. (or local State affiliate) may take weeks to reach you. With GolfClub, a Golfers Handicap Index can be seen after each Game Record is entered. This allows each Golfer to know what his/her current Handicap Index is at any time. ~~~ [6/3] A Golfer's Course Handicap is commonly referred to as his/her "handicap." It's determined using the Golfer's current Handicap Index and the Slope value of the Course being played. The course Pro or Club Manager should be able to explain the method used to determine a Course Handicap when you're playing a course that you've never played before and don't have the course recorded in the GolfClub database. NOTE - A Golfer's Course Handicap will be expressed as a whole number like 4, 9, 16, etc. while their Handicap Index is most often (but not always) shown with a decimal as in 3.6 or 11.7, etc. ~~~ [6/5] Use this option to quickly figure a Course Handicap for a Golfer who is not in the database. This would most often be used when someone who is not already in the database wants to know his/her Handicap for the course being played. First you must enter the Slope value of the Course (90 - 160). Next indicate whether the Golfer is Male or Female by pressing <M> for male or <F> for female. Lastly you must enter the Golfer's Handicap Index. For Men this must be a value between 1 and 36.4 For Women this must be a value between 1 and 40.4 If a Golfer has a Handicap Index of 0 then the Course Handicap would also be 0 ~~~ [6/7] This option will provide a display of the selected Golfers average scores on the course selected. To use this option, select a Golfer then select a Course from the "PickLists" provided. ~~~ [7/1] Selecting this option will generate a list of ALL Golfers in the database sorted in alphabetical order. This listing will serve various purposes such as recording payment of tournament entry fee, etc. A printer is required and must be turned ON before the list will be printed. A typical Listing looks like the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Golfer Note ------------------------------------------------------------------- Billy Bob Adamczak [ ]_________________________ Buffalo Bill [ ]_________________________ Jane Duffer [ ]_________________________ John Duffer [ ]_________________________ Barney Fife [ ]_________________________ Bill Hickock [ ]_________________________ Sally Putter [ ]_________________________ Sam Spade [ ]_________________________ The "Note" area can be used to indicate payment of entry fees, etc. ~~~ [7/2] Selecting this option will generate a list of all Men Golfers in the database sorted in alphabetical order. This listing will serve various purposes such as recording payment of tournament entry fee, etc. A printer is required and must be turned ON before the list will be printed. For an example of the list move HiLight Bar to "Master List" and press <F1> ~~~ [7/3] Selecting this option will generate a list of all Women Golfers in the database sorted in alphabetical order. This listing will serve various purposes such as recording payment of tournament entry fee, etc. A printer is required and must be turned ON before the list will be printed. For an example of the list move HiLight Bar to "Master List" and press <F1> ~~~ [7/5] Selecting this option will print a listing with all Golfers in the database ranked according to their current Handicap Index. A zero (0) is the best Handicap Index. Any Golfer(s) having a "0" Handicap Index will be ranked first. In the event 2 or more Golfers have identical Handicap Index values, they will be shown as "tied" with the same rank number. The Golfer ranked at the top of a tie indicates the Golfer was entered into the database before the other Golfer(s) with the same rank. This requires at least two (2) Golfer Records to be in the database and they must have an established Handicap Index. You should also have your printer turned ON and loaded with an adequate supply of paper. A typical Listing looks like the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rank -- Golfer Index Note ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 John Doe .7 [ ]________ 2 Jane Doe 1.3 [ ]________ 3 Sam Spade 8.7 [ ]________ 4 Sally Spade 16.2 [ ]________ 4 Andy Taylor 16.2 [ ]________ 6 Barney Fife 21.4 [ ]________ In this example, two Golfers are tied (4th/5th) with the same Index. The "Note" area is provided so any special conditions can be indicated. ~~~ [7/6] Selecting this option will generate a list of ALL Men Golfers in the database sorted based on their Handicap Index. A printer is required and must be turned ON before the list will be printed. For an example of the list move HiLight Bar to "All By Rank" and press <F1> ~~~ [7/7] Selecting this option will generate a list of all Women Golfers in the database sorted based on their Handicap Index. A printer is required and must be turned ON before the list will be printed. For an example of the list move HiLight Bar to "All By Rank" and press <F1> ~~~ [7/9] This option will allow the user to print mailing labels (3 each of each Golfer in the database).

Using the Mouse: Using the Mouse is easy when in GolfClub. Most all standard Mouse procedures apply. To select an option at any of the TopMenu Bar selections just move the Mouse pointer to the selection desired and tap the LEFT Mouse button. This will cause a "PullDown Box" to appear. To select an option from one of the "PullDown Boxes", move the pointer to the desired option and tap the LEFT Mouse button. The Mouse pointer will appear as a small vertical rectangle "█". 2.. Deleting Records: When deleting Game Records, if there's 2 or more Golfers in the database, the user must first select the Golfer whose Game Record is to be deleted. After selecting the Golfer from the "PickList" (HiLight the name and press <Enter>), the user will be shown another "PickList" with all of the selected Golfer's games. Move the HiLight bar to the game to be deleted and press <Enter> to remove the Game Record from the database. When deleting Golfer and Course Records, the user will only need to select the Golfer or Course and press <Enter>. See Tip #4 3.. PickList selections: A "PickList" is a box in the upper left corner of the screen showing a list of Golfer, Game, or Course Records currently in the database. To select an item in a "Pick- List", use either the Mouse pointer or Arrow Keys () to HiLight the record of choice. Users without a Mouse must press <Enter> after moving the HiLight bar; Mouse users only need to move the pointer to the selected record and tap the LEFT Mouse button. To leave a "PickList" without making a selection, hit <Escape> or move the Mouse pointer to the small rectangular dot in the upper left corner of the "PickList" box and tap the LEFT Mouse button. A typical "PickList" display box: ┌──────────────────── Place Mouse pointer here and tap LEFT Mouse button to exit a "PickList" ╓─┤■├───────────────╖ ║ Choice One ║ Other available keys are PageUp, PageDown, ║ Choice Two ║ Home, End, DownArrow () and UpArrow (), ║ Choice Three ║ and <Escape> to exit. ║▓Choice Four▓▓▓▓▓▓ ║ <─ HiLight Bar ║ Choice Five ║ ║ Choice Six ║ Non-Mouse users can use the ArrowKeys () ║ Choice Seven ║ to move the HiLight bar to the desired ║ etc... ║ choice and <Enter> to select or <Escape>. ╙─────────────────╜ └┴─────────── Place Mouse pointer here and tap LEFT Mouse button to scroll the listing. A typical OnLine Help screen: ┌────────────────────────── Place Mouse pointer here and tap the │ LEFT Mouse button to exit. ┌─┤■├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Help text shown here...................................... │ │ ............................................................ │ / / │ ............................................................ │ │ │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Place Mouse pointer here and tap ─────────┴┘ LEFT Mouse button to scroll Up/Down 4.. To exit any OnLine Help screen without using a Mouse is easy too. Press <F1> or <Escape> and you'll be returned to the Menu. Mouse users can also place the Mouse pointer directly on the small rectangular dot in the upper left corner and tap the LEFT Mouse button to exit the help screen. 5.. When at a screen where the user is offered choices such as <S>ave, <P>rint, Start<O>ver, etc, the Mouse user can place the pointer on the letter between the "< >" and tap the LEFT Mouse button to make that selection. The non-Mouse user must press the letter Key that corresponds to the option of choice. Example: <S>ave <P>rint Start<O>ver <Q>uit <Y>es <N>o └┴┴┴┴─── Place Mouse pointer here and tap the LEFT Mouse button to make the "Save" selection. 6.. Using the menu: The GolfClub menu is made up of two different types. The first is the bar across the top of the screen and is commonly referred to as the "TopMenu Bar." The second is a "PullDown Box" and only appears when one of the items in the TopMenu bar has been selected. To exit a "PullDown Box", press <Escape>. To exit the TopMenu bar, select the "QUIT" option at the far right side of the TopMenu bar. When the "PullDown Box" appears, select "Yes." The "Quit" option is also offered in the "PullDown Box" under the "FILE" heading on the TopMenu bar. The non-Mouse user can press the <Alt> Key to cause the "PullDown Boxes" to appear. Mouse users can place the Mouse pointer on the desired option and tap the LEFT Mouse button. ~~~
