+++ THE BASIC SCREEN LAYOUT SHOWS EVERYTHING YOU NEED AT ONCE

Here are the basic screen areas:

             +-------------------------------------+
             |             MAIN MENU               |
             +------------------+------------------+
             |                  |                  |
             |                  |    FOOD LIST     |
             |                  |                  |
             |    FOOD MENU     +------------------+
             |                  |                  |
             |                  |    NUTRITION     |
             |                  |                  |
             +------------------+------------------+
             |          HINTS & SHORTCUTS          |
             +-------------------------------------+


+++ SELECT SOME FOODS TO GET STARTED

Select some foods from the food menu on the left half of the screen.  
Press highlighted letters you see along the left edge of the screen.  
You can also point and click using a mouse.  When asked for a quantity, 
you can just press ENTER or click on the OK button.  Press ESC to back 
up within a menu category.

The list of foods appears in the upper right screen quarter.  The total 
nutrition for these foods appears in the lower right corner.

You can enter as much or as little information as you want right now, 
but the Nutrition Window  display (lower right quarter) and reports 
assumes a whole day's food.  So if you enter random foods or less than 
a whole day, some results won't make sense.


+++ YOU INSTANTLY SEE A NUTRITION SUMMARY IN SIMPLE LOW/OK/HIGH FORMS

Press TAB twice.  The title "Whole Day Nutrition" in the center-right 
of the screen becomes bright.  Pressing F5 expands this area to fill 
the whole screen and show more detail.  Pressing TAB again highlights 
the food menu again and allows you to select more foods.

Viewing this window is faster than creating and reading a report and 
gives a great overview of nutrition.

Press ALT+M to select another meal.  Or, if you want, you can enter all 
the foods for a day as one big "meal".


+++ SAVE THE DAY'S SELECTIONS

Press F2 to save your food selections.


+++ IN TWO SECONDS GET A COMPLETE ANALYSIS & EASY IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

Press F4 to create a Report.  It appears on the screen in about 2 
seconds.  You can scroll the report on the screen using the PAGE-UP and 
PAGE-DOWN keys.  Nutrition Wizard/QT analyzes the day's nutrition and 
make comments and suggestions in plain English.

Nutrition Wizard evaluates nutrients far more exhaustively than you 
could ever do manually but it's far simpler and easier-to-use than any 
other nutrition evaluation or nutrition improvement system.

Press ALT+M if you want to view or change meals again.


+++ PRESS F1 TO GET INSTANT HELP

To obtain help on whatever you are doing, press F1.  To get specific 
help for new users press ALT+H.  Make the help window disappear by 
pressing the ESC key.


+++ HOW TO EXIT NUTRITION WIZARD/QUICK-TEST

To leave Nutrition Wizard/QT, press ALT+Q.  It concludes with a "Food 
Bite", a pearl of nutrition wisdom.  After you've read it, press ENTER.  
In about 10 seconds it disappears by itself.  You then see some 
information about Nutrition Wizard Deluxe.  Press the requested 
function key to leave the program.

                        DIALOG BOX QUICK-GUIDE

Nutrition Wizard/Quick-Test uses pop-up windows called dialog boxes 
when it wants you to enter information.  Here is a very quick summary 
of how to use them.  See the documentation or on-line help (F1 and 
CTRL+F1) for more detailed information.


+++ USE A MOUSE OR THE KEYBOARD

You can do most things in a dialog box using either the keyboard or a 
mouse. Most of the descriptions below describe how to use the keyboard.

!!!! The mouse is the easiest way to select items in a dialog box 
because all you do is point and click at the item of interest.

Many items have highlighted shortcut letters or numbers.  Typing 
ALT+letter directly activates that item.


+++ GETTING AROUND USING THE KEYBOARD

* Use the TAB key to move between objects in a dialog box -- the 
selected item or group is highlighted (has a brighter appearance).

* ENTER means you are done entering information.  This activates the OK 
command button.

* ESC means cancel the dialog and Nutrition Wizard ignores anything you 
entered or changed.  This activates the Cancel command button.  This is 
the "I changed my mind" button.
