Shortcut Software details WinCIM secrets

Special offer lets users download "Shortcut Guide for WinCIM," pop up
software helps teach keystrokes that save connect time

PACIFIC PALISADES, CALIF., July 12, 1994 -- A special offer helps users of
the CompuServe Information Manager for Windows (WinCIM) learn and exploit
the hidden keyboard and mouse tricks that save connect time and simplify
online navigation.

SHORTCUT GUIDE FOR WINCIM is now available for on-line purchase on
CompuServe by typing "GO SCGCIM."

To download the software conventionally, without using shortcuts, take your
hand off the keyboard. Shift it to the mouse. Click on the traffic-light
"Go" icon. Shift back to the keyboard. Type "SCGCIM." Shift back to the
mouse. Click the "OK" button. Click "Download SHORTCUT GUIDE FOR WINCIM."
Click the "OK" button.

Alternatively, if you know the shortcuts, just hold down the CTRL key and
type the letter "G." Then type "SCGCIM." Press ENTER. Scroll to the
"Download" option. Press ENTER.

SHORTCUT GUIDE FOR WINCIM is one in a series of quick-reference guides to
15 popular applications.

The acclaimed product line was named an "Editors Favorite" by PC World
Magazine in May 1995, shortly after it was introduced by Shortcut Software
Corp., a startup in Pacific Palisades, Calif.

Among other reviews, the New York Times in May called SHORTCUT GUIDES one
of the "programs that you did not know you needed until you got them and
now could not do without." PC Laptop gave SHORTCUT GUIDES a "Five-laptop,
Must Buy" rating and said "Give this program ten seconds, and it will hand
you back ten hours."

"The download offer for WinCIM users is another clear example of the strong
and favorable response to Shortcut Guides," said Howard Weisberg,
president of Shortcut Software.

SHORTCUT Guides are a handy, digital alternative to plastic and cardboard
templates that drop over a keyboard -- and to quick reference guides kept
within arm's reach of the computer.

Shortcut Guides pop up on screen to detail keystroke combinations and mouse
shortcuts that replace pull-down menu commands and repetitive mouse
clicks.

Applications, benefits

Unlike keyboard templates, SHORTCUT GUIDES provide extended information.
Press the space bar or right-click with the mouse, and SHORTCUT GUIDES
display additional information about any command.

SHORTCUT GUIDES help nonce users learn basic program commands faster,
reducing training time and costs. The guides also provide an easy-to-check
reference for experienced users as they explore the advanced program
commands that speed work and enhance productivity.

With SHORTCUT GUIDE FOR WINCIM, users need not fumble about, flipping
through page after page in a manual, trying to look up a keystroke command
while logged on and running up connect-time charges.

Look Ma, no mouse!

The SHORTCUT GUIDE FOR WINCIM also details the keyboard commands that
control WinCIM without a mouse. This is especially valuable when
struggling to run WinCIM on a portable computer that lacks a mouse -- or
when wrestling with the trackball or "eraserhead" pointer of a notebook.


SHORTCUT GUIDE FOR WINCIM also details:

* CompuServe commands when operating in terminal mode -- for example, the
keystroke that pauses text as it scrolls past faster than you can read
it.

* Common e-mail acronyms and cryptic abbreviations that leave readers
scratching their heads in puzzlement -- for example, ROTFL, or "rolling on
the floor laughing."

* Common e-mail "emoticons" -- pictorial inserts often used in electronic
mail, such as the smiley face, :-).
