   HOW TO MAKE A CLIPBOARD CLIPPING FILE

   It's easy to make a clipping file of DOS information as you
   move through this health package. Here's how.

   First off, a clipping file is just a file you can use to store bits of
   the Guide you electronically clip for future reference, just like you'd
   keep a scrapbook of newspaper articles. You can even add your own notes
   and comments.

   This program will create a clipping file called CLIP.TXT. To move
   a section of this guide to CLIP.TXT do the following:

    1) If you press the grey plus (+) and minus (-) keys you can move
    a highlighting bar up and down through the text. Using the plus and
    minus keys, move the highlighting bar to the line of text at which you
    want to start the clipping.

   2) Press the F5 key to anchor the highlight.

   3) Using the cursor keys, extend the highlighting down to
   cover the section of text you want to clip. You can also use
   the PGDN and PGUP keys if the passage is longer than one
   screen.

   4) Once you've highlighted the text you want to clip, do one of the
    following:

      a) If you want to append the clipping to the information in the
      CLIP.TXT file hold down the ALT key and, at the same time, press the
      A key.

      b) If you want overwrite the information in the CLIP.TXT file with
      the clipping hold down the ALT key and, at the same time, press the O
      key.

   CLIP.TXT is an ASCII file. It can be edited and read with most word
   processors. Remember, however, that no material in the Southam Health
   Package Hypertext can be used for anything other than personal purposes
   without the written permission of Southam Inc. see <SYSTEM>.

   When you save a section of text to CLIP.TXT the clipping will be
   preceded by an angle-bracketed jump to the file the clipping came from.
   This can be handy to explore if you need to get the context of the
   clipping later on.

   To view the clipping file as it is now see <CLIP.TXT>

   EXECUTING DOS COMMANDS

   To execute a DOS command hold down the ALT key and press the D key at
   the same time (ALT D). No matter where you are in the Guide you will be
   able to execute a single DOS command and return to the Guide after it
   has executed.

      For example:
      Hit the ALT-D combination. At the prompt at the bottom of the screen
      type DIR and hit RETURN or ENTER to see a directory listing of the
      current directory

   WORD SEARCH
   To search for a word in a file you're reading do the
   following:

   To search forward from the screen you're reading press ALT-F

     You'll see a SEARCH box appear at the bottom of the screen. Enter the
     word(s) you'd like to search for and hit the RETURN or ENTER key.

   To search backward from the screen you're reading press ALT-B

     You'll see a SEARCH box appear at the bottom of the screen. Enter the
     word(s) you'd like to search for and hit the RETURN or ENTER key.

   This technique will allow you to search a single file for a word. To do
   more complex word searches through the whole health package system use
   the word search feature in the ISSUES menu.
