HINTS AND TIPS
When you start LOWDOWN ON DOCTORS, LAWYERS AND POLITICIANS, the first
screen that will appear is the Quick Start Menu dialog. Select the
"Memo" pushbutton. You'll see it in the lower right hand corner of
the dialog. It has the caption "Hints and Tips." It'll put you into
the help system and give you a brief summary of useful program
information.
----------------------
Quote-A-Day is an optional feature that enables you to start every
Windows session with a quote or joke.
Here's how it works: Windows has a StartUp group. Each time Windows
starts it will automatically run the program(s) in its StartUp group.
We've added a command switch, "D" for Daily, to DLP that takes
advantage of this feature.
When you start DLP with the D command switch, all the opening
screens are bypassed. Your quote, selected by Quote-A-Day, will be
the first thing you see. When you're done reading it, you can
select the Exit command to immediately end the program or you can
take some other action.
All you have to do to activate this feature is copy the program
icon to your StartUp group, and then add the D command switch to
the Program Item Properties' Command Line as follows:
Change: C:\DLP25\DLP
To: C:\DLP25\DLP D
Detailed instructions are as follows:
1. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | Doctors, Lawyers...
2. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | StartUp.
(Both groups should now be open on your Desktop. You may want
to move one group so you can see both of them.)
3. Press and hold down <CTRL> while you drag the DLP icon from
the Doctors, Lawyers... window to the StartUp window. (Notice
how the mouse pointer becomes a replica of the DLP icon.)
4. When the DLP icon is in the StartUp group window release both the
mouse button and the <CTRL> key.
5. From Program Manager's Main Menu select File | Properties and
the Program Item Properties dialog appears.
6. Press the <TAB> key once to move to the "Command Line."
7. Press the <END> key once to move to the end of the "Command Line."
8. Press the <SpaceBar> once and then type the letter D.
9. Click the OK button.
Quote-A-Day should now be enabled. It'll take effect the very next
time you start Windows.

If you're a new Windows user, we'll just mention that green text
in a Windows' help system designates a hypertext link. That means that
more, or related, information is available on that subject. You can
access it by positioning your mouse pointer on the green text and
clicking your left mouse button.
