Introduction

Definition of Shareware

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
it.  If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected 
to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request 
registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period.
With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the 
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as 
stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like 
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both 
cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in 
the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to 
copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific 
group. For example, some authors require written permission before a 
commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find 
software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or 
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because
you can try before you buy.  And because the overhead is low, prices are 
low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't 
use the product, you don't pay for it.

The Personal POWER Organizer is a "shareware program" and is provided at no 
charge to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your friends, 
but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.  The 
essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users
with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for 
programmers to continue to develop new products.  If you find this program
useful and find that you are using the Personal POWER Organizer and continue 
to use the Personal POWER Organizer after a reasonable trial period, you must 
make a registration payment of $ 79 to Keycon Technologies, Inc.  The $ 79 
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any 
one time.  You must treat this software just like a book.  An example is 
that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely 
moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no 
possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at 
another.  Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.

Commercial users of the Personal POWER Organizer must register and pay for 
their copies of the Personal POWER Organizer within 30 days of first use or
their license is withdrawn.  Site-License arrangements may be made by 
contacting Keycon Technologies, Inc.

Installing the Personal POWER Organizer
The Personal POWER Organizer program includes an installation program for 
MS-DOS systems.  The Personal POWER Organizer program files are provided in
a compressed file format on one (1) 3.5" diskette.

You can install the Personal POWER Organizer for MS-DOS from either the
MS-DOS command prompt or DOSSHELL (MS-DOS V5.0 and higher).  To load from
the command prompt, type A: or B:, which will change your working directory
to the diskette drive where the PPOLOAD.EXE file is located.

Then, type PPOLOAD, followed by ENTER, to start the Personal POWER Organizer 
installer program.  Optionally, you can install the Personal POWER Organizer 
from the hard disk directory by typing A:PPOLOAD or B:PPOLOAD.

If your primary hard disk drive is not C:, substitute the drive letter for
C in the command above.

DOSSHELL Installation
To install the Personal POWER Organizer from DOSSHELL, point the mouse 
cursor to and click the left mouse button on the diskette drive icon, either
A or B where the PPOLOAD.EXE file is located.

When the A:\> or B:\> drive directory listing is displayed, point the mouse
cursor to PPOLOAD.EXE, in the diskette directory listing, and click the left
mouse button twice.  The Personal POWER Organizer installation program will
then load from diskette.  This will take a minute or more.

Personal POWER Organizer Installation Procedures
After the installation program is loaded, a menu screen with the default
C:\PPOWER program directory is displayed.  Either accept C:\PPOWER as the
default program directory by typing ENTER, or type the name of the directory
where you want to load the program files and type ENTER when you've finished
typing the directory name.

After you've entered the Personal POWER Organizer directory name, the 
installation program searches for your system's MS-DOS version.  The Personal
POWER Organizer requires MS-DOS Version 3.2 or higher.  If your system has an
earlier version of MS-DOS, the installation program will terminate.  Upgrade
your system to a MS-DOS Version 3.2 or higher before attempting to reload
the Personal POWER Organizer.  If your MS-DOS version is valid, the version
number found is displayed.

The Personal POWER Organizer installation program introduces you to a major 
Personal POWER Organizer feature - Keycons.  Keycons are a patented Key(i)con 
technology that visually illustrates which keyboard key to type use specific
program functions.  They integrate best attributes of the keyboard and
icon-based point-and-click interfaces.  They also let you know what to do at
a glance, rather than making you search for speed keys in a user manual or 
pull down menus.






                                      1-1
After the installation program locates your system's MS-DOS version, the
program files on the PPO Installation Disk are loaded.  When all the program
files are loaded from the PPO Installation Disk, the files that were stored
as compressed files are decompressed into their executable disk file format.
After all of the program files are decompressed, a menu screen will be
displayed showing that all of the program files have been successfully
installed.  The Personal POWER Organizer is now ready to use.

Chapter 2

Introduction and Overview
The Personal POWER Organizer automates your time-consuming time and expense
management tasks.  The Personal POWER Organizer combines the key functions
you need; phone list, calendar and activity tickler management, and expense
reporting into an integrated application suite with a common, easy-to-use
user interface.

The Obvious User Interface and Keycons
To be useful, a PC application must be easy to use.  If it requires more
time to learn than use, it's no more useful than any assortment of editors,
spreadsheets, and other programs written by programmers who sometimes expect
you to be as computer literate as they are.  The Personal POWER Organizer
was designed with simplifying the basics, in mind.

The Personal POWER Organizer's Obvious User Interface (OUI) eliminates the
guesswork common to many PC applications.  The Obvious User Interface tells
you which key to press or what to do to activate application functions.  It
does this with a new, innovative element, Keycons.  Keycons tightly integrate
the computer keyboard into the Personal POWER Organizer programs, simplifying
keyboard access to the critical Personal POWER Organizer functions.

Keycons are graphical key icons that represent which key to press to activate
application functions.  This is important because, in spite of the advances 
in point-and-click user interfaces, the keyboard is still the fastest method
for executing basic functions and moving between different input screens.
That's because your hands are usually on or around the keyboard for entering
text information.  Most PC applications do offer optional keyboard shortcuts
or "accelerator keys", for point-and-click actions.  But, accelerator keys
usually require more than one keystroke and are often not well documented.
Keycons let you know which keys to press at a glance, rather than forcing you
to search through pull down menus, user manuals, or on-line help  a time
consuming task, at best.

Keycons can also be used like an icon.  To use a Keycon like an icon, simply
point the mouse cursor to and click the left mouse button on the desired
Keycon.  Keycons automate the most common Personal POWER Organizer functions
-- Exit, Save, Delete, Export, Next (screen), and More (entries).  They also
supplement scroll bars for selecting names, dates, and reports for editing
or printing.  The Obvious User Interface also uses the more common icons 
and scroll bars, which are used when Keycons or keyboard key actions aren't
practical or desirable.

Personal POWER Organizer icons are used to 1) activate the data import 
utilities, 2) activate Mouse Help (diagram 2-2), 3) turn Keycon display 
on/off, and 4) provide instant access to the Phone Dialer, Calendar Manager,
and Activity Tickler from anywhere in the Personal POWER Organizer.  They
usually also return you to the exact place in the calling program when 
you're done.  The Obvious User Interface Keycons, icons, and scroll bars are
described, in detail, later in this chapter.

Mouse Help
Another very important Personal POWER Organizer Obvious User Interface feature 
is Mouse Help.  Mouse Help is a real-time, context-sensitive help facility.
It displays small help tip windows on top of important Personal POWER Organizer
application features as the mouse cursor is moved over those features.
                                      2-1
For example, if the mouse cursor is positioned on top of a Keycon, a small help
window explaining how that Keycon is used is displayed.  If the cursor is over
an information entry box, a help window explaining what should be entered in
that box is displayed.  Overall, Mouse Help displays information windows for
all of the entry boxes, Keycons, icons, scroll bars, and other application
features for all of the Personal POWER Organizer screens.

To activate Mouse Help, point the mouse cursor to and click the left mouse
button on the Mouse Help icon.  Then, move the mouse cursor over any screen
feature. A Mouse Help information window pops-up over each important screen
feature.  If you need more general help information about a program screen,
select the general help facility by typing F10 or pointing the mouse cursor
to and clicking the left mouse button on the F10 Keycon.

Changing the Mouse Cursor
You can change the mouse cursor to either the default hand-shaped pointer
or the standard MS-DOS arrow pointer with the Change Mouse icon displayed
in the upper left corner of the Personal POWER Organizer Main Menu.  The 
Change Mouse utility displays a pop-up menu window that lets you select the
mouse cursor you want.

The Change Mouse icon features both a primary icon and a hidden Keycon icon.
Display the hidden icon by pointing the mouse cursor to and clicking the
right mouse button on the primary Change Mouse icon.  Activate the Change
Mouse by pointing the mouse cursor to and clicking the left mouse button on
either the primary or hidden Change Mouse icon or by typing F6.

Personal POWER Organizer Help
The Personal POWER Organizer help facility is an interactive utility that
provides information about all of the Personal POWER Organizer program screen
features.  All of the Keycons, icons, and scroll bars used in a specific
program screen are displayed in the screen's help windows and can actually be
tested by pointing the mouse cursor to and clicking the left mouse button on
the Keycon, icon, or scroll bar.  You can also display and test the "hidden"
Keycon for an icon by pointing the mouse cursor to and clicking the right
mouse button on the icon.  Hidden Keycons are explained in greater detail in
the Personal POWER Organizer Icons section.

Personal POWER Organizer Obvious User Interface Keycon Definitions
The Personal POWER Organizer program's Obvious User Interface uses many 
common Keycon definitions.  Other Keycons are used for different purposes
in different programs.  The most common Personal POWER Organizer Keycon 
definitions are described below.

F10     Help - displays Help screen for the current Personal POWER Organizer
        information screen.

Personal POWER Organizer Keyboard Keys
Other important keyboard keys not represented by Keycons but used throughout the Personal POWER Organizer Obvious User Interface are:

Enter         Move to next entry box - makes the text cursor move to the next
              information entry box.  Functions the same as the Tab and Down 
              Arrow keys.

Tab           Move to next entry box - makes the text cursor move to the next
              information entry box.  Functions the same as the Enter and Down
              Arrow keys.

Shift+Tab     Move to previous entry box - makes the text cursor move to the
              previous information entry box.  Functions the same as the Up
              Arrow key.
                                      2-3
Backspace     Delete previous character - makes the text cursor move backward
              one character, deleting that character from the information entry
              box.

Insert        Turns insert mode on and off - toggles insert mode between insert
              and overwrite.  In insert mode, added text characters are 
              inserted between the characters at the current text cursor 
              location.  In overwrite mode, added text characters overwrite the
              characters at the current text cursor location.

Down Arrow    Move to next entry box - makes the text cursor move to the next
              information entry box.  Functions the same as the Enter and Tab 
              keys.

Up Arrow      Move to previous entry box - makes the text cursor move to the 
              previous information entry box.  Functions the same as the 
              Shift+Tab keys.

Right Arrow   Move to next character - makes the text cursor move forward to
              the next character in the information entry box.

Left Arrow    Move to previous character - makes the text cursor move backward
              to the previous character in the information entry box.

Home          Move to beginning of line - makes the text cursor move to the 
              first character position in the information entry box.

End           Move to end of line - makes the text cursor move to the 
              character position immediately past the last information entry 
              box character.

Moving Between Information Entry Boxes with the Mouse
To move the text cursor from one information input box to another, point the
mouse cursor to and click the left mouse button on the information input box
that you want to move the text cursor to.  Moving the text cursor with the
mouse is similar to using the tab, enter, arrow, or other keyboard keys to
move the text cursor.  The primary difference is that you can arbitrarily move
the text cursor to any information entry box with the mouse.  The keyboard
keys only allow the text cursor to move to an adjacent input box.

The Scroll Bar
The scroll bar is a rectangular column with an Up arrow at the top and a Down
arrow at the bottom.  A scroll bar is used in all of the selection menus
(name, date, etc.) and is displayed after more than sixteen records have been
saved in the current menu's database.  For example, a report menu scroll bar
is displayed when 17 or more reports are in a database.

Using The Scroll Bar
The scroll bar provides access to additional database customer names, dates,
reports, etc.  The next 16 database entries are displayed by pointing the
mouse cursor to and clicking the left mouse button on the down arrow.  The
previous 16 database entries are displayed by pointing the mouse cursor to
and clicking the left mouse button on the up arrow.




                                      2-4
You can also drag the scroll bar button (the small rectangle in the scroll 
bar column) up or down to move more menu selections into the menu screen.
Drag the scroll bar button by pointing the mouse cursor to and clicking and
holding the left mouse button on the scroll bar button and then dragging the
button up or down.  To stop dragging the scroll bar button, release the left
mouse button.  The database records displayed are in proportion to the 
distance that the scroll bar button has been dragged.

When the scroll bar button is at the top of the scroll bar (next to the up
arrow) the first 16 database entries are displayed.  If there are fewer than
16 database records, less than 16 records are displayed.  There are 125 
display positions in a scroll bar enabling up to 2000 database records to be
accessed with one scroll bar.  16 new menu entries are displayed each time
the scroll bar button is moved and until the last record in the menu database
is reached.  To return to entries that have been previously displayed, move
the scroll bar button up until the entries reappear.

Large Databases and Dual Scroll Bars
If there are more than 2000 records in any database, the number of records
that can be displayed using one scroll bar has been exceeded.  When a database
size exceeds 2000 records, a second scroll bar is automatically displayed on
the left side of the database's selection menu.  The left scroll bar switches
between the second, third, fourth, etc. 2000 record groups from the large 
database.  For example, if the Calendar database has 3000 dates, the second
scroll bar is displayed when dates beyond the 2000th are displayed.

The left scroll bar button is initially at the top of the scroll bar, meaning
that the selection menu displays the first 2000 database records.  To move to
the next group of 2000 menu entries, point the mouse cursor to and click the
left mouse button on the scroll bar down arrow to move the scroll button down
one position.  In the example above, the second scroll bar would be moved down
one position to enable access to database records 2001 through 3000.  The left
scroll bar button can also be dragged to a new position, as described in the
paragraph above.  With dual scroll bars, the Personal POWER Organizer supports
up to 250,000 records per database.

Personal POWER Organizer Icons
Personal POWER Organizer icons are displayed at the top of each Personal POWER
Organizer information and menu screen.  Icons activate the Personal POWER 
Organizer functions described below.  To use an icon, point the mouse cursor
to and click the left mouse button on the icon.  Some icons also support hidden
Keycons.  Hidden Keycons represent the keyboard key that can be pressed as an
alternate way of activating the icon function.  The common Personal POWER
Organizer icons that support hidden Keycons are described below.

Mouse Help
Starts Mouse Help at any point in any Personal POWER Organizer program.

Help Icon
When Keycon display is turned off, the F10 Keycon is replaced with a Help
Icon to provide fast Help facility access.






                                      2-5
