\CHDIR
   CHANGE DIRECTORY *

   In the Directory Window

   To make another directory the Current Displayed Directory, point
   the screen arrow at the directory you want and press the Space Bar.  

   If the directory you want to make the Current Displayed Directory is 
   not shown in the Directory Window, you may need to change to other
   directories until the one you want is displayed.  Or you can use Tree.

   With Tree

   Press Alt-T to display a visual tree of your disk.  Move the
   highlighted bar to the directory you want and hit Enter.  The regular
   ShortCut screen will reappear and the directory you selected will become
   the new Current Displayed Directory.  This is the quickest method to
   change directories if the directory you want is not displayed in the
   Directory Window.
\COPY   
   F3  COPY *
 
   The COPY command copies marked files from the Current Displayed
   Directory to another directory on the same or a different drive.  

   Mark the file(s) you want to copy.  Press F3 to move to the COPY box
   on the Command Bar.  Hit Enter.  

   Make the directory to which you want the files copied the Current
   Displayed Directory.  If the directory is on the same disk, move to it by
   pointing the screen arrow at it in the Directory Window and pressing the
   Space Bar.  Or use the Tree command (Alt-T) to change to the      
   directory you want quickly.  

   If the directory you want is on another drive, move the screen arrow to
   the Display Drive box and type the letter of the drive you want, then move
   back to the Directory Window and the desired directory.  

   Press Enter to start the COPY process.   
\ERASE
   F7  ERASE *

   The ERASE command will delete the file(s) that are marked in the
   Directory Window.   

   Mark the file(s) you want to delete in the Directory Window.  Press
   F7 to move to the ERASE command box and hit Enter.  

   ShortCut will ask for your confirmation before each file is erased.  If
   you respond with Y for Yes, the file will be deleted from your disk
   and you will see it disappear from the Directory Window.  If you hit N
   for No or any other key, the file will not be erased.   

   If you prefer, you can have ShortCut erase the marked file(s) without
   seeking your confirmation.  Use the SETUP command to set up ShortCut this
   way.
\MARKING
   Space Bar  MARK A FILE *

   You tell ShortCut which files you want the Command Bar commands to work
   on by "marking" files in the Directory Window.

   Point the screen arrow at the file you wish to mark and press the Space
   Bar.  When a filename is marked, it will be highlighted.  If you wish 
   to unmark a file, point the screen arrow at a marked file and press the 
   Space Bar.

   You may mark a file before or after you have moved to the Command Bar as
   long as you have not selected a Command Bar command with the Enter key.

   To mark all the files in the Current Displayed Directory at once, press
   Ctrl-Space Bar.  All of the filenames in the Directory Window will be
   highlighted.  Press Ctrl-Space Bar again to unmark all filenames.

   Pointing the screen arrow at the Current Displayed Directory and pressing
   the Space Bar will unmark all filenames at any time.

   Press M for More information on marking files.
\MARK_MORE
   Space Bar  MARK A FILE *

   To mark all but a few files, mark only those filenames you don't want
   marked and press Alt-Space Bar.  The marking pattern will be reversed
   in the Directory Window and all but those files you marked will be 
   highlighted.
\MOVE
    Shift-F3  MOVE *

   The MOVE command moves marked files from the Current Displayed
   Directory to another directory on the same disk.

   Mark the file(s) you want to move in the Directory Window.  Press
   Shift-F3 to move to the MOVE box on the Command Bar.  Press
   Enter.  

   Make the directory to which you want the files moved the Current
   Displayed Directory.  You may do this in one of two ways.  If the
   directory you want is displayed in the Directory Window, point the
   screen arrow at it and press the Space Bar.  If it is not in
   Directory Window, move through the directories until it is, or use the
   Tree command (Alt-T) to move to the desired directory quickly. 

   Press Enter to start the MOVE process.
\COMMND
   F10  COMMND

   The COMMND command allows you to send commands to DOS just as if you
   were not using ShortCut, but were typing commands at the normal DOS
   prompt.  Press F10 to move to the COMMND command box and press
   Enter.  The familiar DOS prompt  will appear on the screen.  This is
   the command line.

   You may type any DOS command on this line.  When you hit Enter again,
   the command you typed will be sent to DOS.  The ShortCut screen will
   disappear and you will see a blank screen except for your command and the
   normal output from DOS in response to your command.  The ShortCut screen
   will return immediately unless Pause is on.  If you have more than one
   command to enter and you do not want the ShortCut screen to reappear,
   press Alt-D before typing your command on the command line.  The normal
   DOS screen appears.  Enter your commands at the DOS prompt.  When you are
   ready, press Alt-D again to return to ShortCut.

   The COMMND command always uses the default drive unless you include a
   drive specifier with filenames.  

                       Press M for More information.
\CML_EDIT
   COMMAND LINE EDITING KEYS *

   Anytime before you press Enter to send your command to DOS you can edit
   what you have typed on the command line with the following keys:

   Backspace   Deletes the character to the left and moves cursor left
   Left arrow  Moves the cursor one space to the left
   Right arrow Moves the cursor one space to the right
   Del         Deletes the character the cursor is on
   Ins         Turns insert mode on and off
   F6          Copies the filename the screen arrow is pointing at to the 
                   command line
   F7          Moves the cursor to the beginning of the command line
   F8          Moves the cursor to the end of the command line
   Ctrl-Esc    Exits the command line and the Command Bar

   Command Buffer
        ShortCut remembers the last ten COMMND commands and will display
        them one at a time on the command line.  Move back through this
        list of commands by pressing F9.  Press F10 to move forward.

   Press M for More information on editing the command line. 
\DOS_KEYS
   EDIT THE COMMAND LINE - DOS EDITING KEYS *

   ShortCut simulates the usual DOS editing keys.  In the following
   descriptions, the template refers to the last command that is sent to DOS.

   F1  One character from the template is copied to the screen.
   F2  Waits for the next character you type and then copies all         
         characters up to the first matching occurrence of that character in 
         the template to the screen.  
   F3  Copies all the remaining characters from the template.   
   F4  Waits for the next typed character and then skips over all
         characters in the template until it reaches the first matching
         occurrence of that character. 
   F5  Enters the current command line as the new template, clears the
         command line, and allows continued editing of this new template.

   Esc key  Aborts the current command line and begins a new one.  The
         current template remains the same and restarts at the first
         character.
\DIR_WINDOW
   DIRECTORY WINDOW *

   The Directory Window displays the contents of the Current Displayed
   Directory including all files and subdirectories within.  Whenever a file
   is displayed here, you can perform actions on it using ShortCut commands.

   The Current Displayed Directory is always the directory name that is
   highlighted on your screen.  If you have no subdirectories on your disk,
   the root directory will always be the Current Displayed Directory.  

   The path that DOS used to reach your Current Displayed Directory, if there
   is one, is shown just above it in the Directory Window.  Your root
   directory will be listed at the top of the Directory Window and each
   subdirectory that follows is the next step in the path through which DOS
   must travel to reach your Current Displayed Directory.  

   Beneath your Current Displayed Directory you will find all the files the
   directory contains if there are any.  If the Current Displayed Directory
   has any subdirectories belonging to it, you will see them listed after the
   filenames.  Type M for more information on the Directory Window. 
\WINDOW_MOVE
   MOVING IN THE DIRECTORY WINDOW *

   Since only 16 file and subdirectory names will fit at one time in the
   Directory Window, you need a way to see the rest if you have more on your
   disk.  ShortCut gives you several ways to do this by moving the screen
   arrow using the cursor arrow keys, PgUp and PgDn, Home, End, and Scroll
   Lock.

   Down Arrow - Moves screen arrow down one line.
   Up Arrow - Moves screen arrow up one line.
   Scroll Lock - Scroll Lock affects how the up and down arrow keys work.
       With Scroll Lock on, the screen arrow remains stationary while 
       the entry names scroll around it.
   Home - Moves screen arrow to the top entry in Directory Window.
   End - Moves screen arrow to the bottom entry in Directory Window.
   Ctrl-Home - Moves screen arrow to the first entry (root directory).
   Ctrl-End - Moves screen arrow to the last entry.
   PgDn - Displays the next 16 entries in the Directory Window.  
   PgUp - Displays the previous 16 entries in the Directory Window.  
\LOCATE
   ALT-L  LOCATE FILE *

   LOCATE FILE is used to move the screen arrow to a particular filename in
   the Directory Window very quickly.  

   Press ALT-L, then type the first letter of the filename.  ShortCut
   will sort the files in the Directory Window by name in alphabetical order
   and the letter will appear on the message line.  It will also point the
   screen arrow at the filename beginning with that letter.  Continue typing
   letters and the screen arrow will jump to the first file that matches the
   letters you type.  You may use Backspace to erase a typed letter.  Stop
   Locate with Enter, Esc, or the Up or Down Arrow key.  The Space
   Bar will also stop it and mark the file in the Directory Window.

   If the files in the Directory Window are sorted by Extension when you 
   press ALT-L, type the first letters of the filename extension you want.
   As you type, the screen arrow will zero in on the correct extension.
   Stop Locate with Enter, Esc, Space Bar, or the Up or Down Arrow
   key as above.
\BAR
   COMMAND BAR *

   ShortCut has four Command Bars.  The first Command Bar is the one usually
   displayed.  The second Command Bar becomes visible when you press a Shift
   key.  The other two are available only in the commercial version of 
   ShortCut.

   The first two Command Bars have ShortCut commands; the other two are for
   your own commands that you can set up using the SETUP command.

   Each command on any of the Command Bars correspond to a function key alone
   or in combination with the Shift key.  You can move directly to a command 
   box by pressing the proper function key combination.  The numbers in the 
   command boxes tell you which function key to use.  Or you can press any 
   function key to get to the Command Bar, then move to the command you want 
   by using the left and right arrow keys.

   Once you are in the command box you want, start the command by hitting the
   Enter key.  Follow any directions that appear on the message line.

   Press Esc to leave the Command Bar.  If you have already pressed Enter,
   press Ctrl-Esc to exit.
\SORT
   SORTING FILES *

   Move the screen arrow to the Sort On box.  Press the first letter of one
   of the following options:

   Name    sorts filenames alphabetically.

   Ext     sorts filenames alphabetically according to their extensions.

   Size    sorts filenames by number of bytes contained in each file. 
           Sorting by Size also changes the additional file information
           (Size, Date or Time) to Size.

   Time    sorts filenames by the date and time the file was created or
           last updated.  The files are first sorted by date and then by
           time.  Sorting by Time also changes the additional file
           information (Size, Date, or Time) to either Time or Date.  
           Press T again to display the other option (Time or Date).

   Unsorted displays filenames in the order they are placed on your disk.

   Press M for more options.
\SORT_MORE
   SORTING FILES *

   In addition, these sorts can be performed in ascending or descending
   order.  Press A for ascending (As) or D for descending (Ds).

   As sorts filenames from the least to the greatest.  Name sorts will be
      in alphabetical order, Ext sorts will be in alphabetical order by
      extension, Size sorts will display the smallest file first, and Time
      sorts will list the oldest file first.  Unsorted filenames will not
      be affected.

   Ds sorts filenames from the greatest to the least.  Name sorts will be
      in reverse alphabetical order, Ext sorts will be in reverse
      alphabetical order by extension, Size sorts will display the biggest
      file first, and Time sorts will list the newest file first.  Unsorted
      filenames will not be affected.

   The subdirectories at the bottom of the Directory Window will usually be 
   sorted by Name in either ascending or descending order, depending on how 
   the filenames are sorted.  If the filenames are Unsorted, however, the 
   newest subdirectory will be the first to follow the filenames in the 
   Directory Window.
\FILE_INFO
   FILE INFORMATION *

   The Directory Window can display filenames plus one of the following
   additional file information options:

   Date    the date the file was created or last updated

   Size    the size of the file in number of bytes

   Time    the time of day the file was created or last updated

   Move the screen arrow to the small box just to the right of the EXT header
   at the top of the Directory Window.  Press the first letter of the option
   you want to see (D, S. or T).

   The type of file information displayed is changed when the files are 
   sorted also.  A Size sort will display Size information, and a Time sort
   will display Date information.  Press T again while in the Sort On box
   to see Time data.
\FILE_TEMP
   ALT-F  FILE PATTERN *

   The File Pattern command is used to set up a pattern for ShortCut to use
   for displaying files in the Directory Window.  Only those filenames that
   match the current file pattern will be shown.  Directory names are not
   affected.

   Press Alt-F.  You will be asked to type in a new pattern.  When you
   hit Enter, ShortCut will display only those files that match the
   pattern you specified.  

   A file pattern may contain any acceptable character in a filename plus
   wildcard characters.

   Wildcard Characters

      *   represents a series of characters
      ?   represents a single character
\TREE
   ALT-T  TREE *

   The Tree command displays the directory structure of your disk graph-
   ically.  It also gives you a quick way to move from one directory to
   another.

   Press Alt-T to display the structure of your disk.  Press Enter
   when you wish to return to the regular ShortCut screen.

   To change directories press Alt-T and move the highlighting to the
   directory you want with the up and down arrow keys.  Home will move the
   highlighting to the root directory; End will move it to your last 
   directory.  Hit the Enter key.  ShortCut will make your chosen di-
   rectory the Current Displayed Directory.

   If you change the Display Drive and later press Alt-T to see your tree, 
   you will see the directory structure of your old Display Drive disk.  
   Press Alt-T again while the tree is shown and ShortCut will read the 
   new Display Drive disk.
\SAVE
   ALT-S  SAVE CONFIGURATION *

   The Save Configuration command is used to save settings on your disk   
   that determine how ShortCut appears and operates.  

   Press Alt-S to save your present configuration any time the ShortCut
   screen is displayed.  Answer Y for Yes in response to ShortCut's   
   prompt or N for No if you decide not to save your present   
   configuration.

   All settings are saved according to how you have the ShortCut screen set
   up at the time you give the Save Configuration command.  For example, if
   Chime is turned on when you press Alt-S, then the next time you start up
   ShortCut, Chime will be on.  Also Save Configuration stores any changes
   you have made with the SETUP command.

   This information is also saved whenever you answer Y for Yes when you exit
   the Setup Main Menu and ShortCut asks you if you want to save your
   configuration.
\POP
   Alt-Left Shift  POP UP SHORTCUT

   You can use ShortCut even while you are running another program.

   This feature is available only in the commercial version of ShortCut.

   All of the Alt key commands except Exit (Alt-E) are available while
   Shortcut is popped up over another program.  In addition, the following
   Command Bar commands are available:

             COPY      HELP      MOVE      RENAME    SETUP    
             DATE      LABL      PATH      RMDIR     TIME
             ERASE     MKDIR     PRINT     SEARCH    TYPE

   These Command Bar commands are not available when ShortCut is popped up:

             COMMND    EDIT      RUN
             DCOPY     FORMAT    User Commands
\MKDIR
   F8  MKDIR *

   The MKDIR command is used to make a new subdirectory on your disk.

   Press F8 to move to the MKDIR command box and hit Enter.  Type in
   the name of the new subdirectory and press Enter again.  A new
   subdirectory will be created and it will appear in the Directory Window
   following all the filenames in the Current Displayed Directory.  

   The name of the new subdirectory must be no more than 8 characters and may
   include an extension of 3 characters or less for a total length of 11
   characters maximum.  

   If you are adding a subdirectory to the Current Displayed Directory, do
   not include a path in the name.  If you want to create a subdirectory
   someplace other than in the Current Displayed Directory, you must include
   a path with the name.  In this case, the subdirectory will be created, but
   it will not be displayed in the Directory Window until you make the
   directory to which it belongs the Current Displayed Directory.
\DISPLAY
   DISPLAY DRIVE *

   The Display Drive is the drive whose files and directories are shown in
   the Directory Window.  When you first start up ShortCut, this will be the
   same as the Default Drive, but you can change it to any drive on your
   system.

   The current Display Drive is shown in the Display Drive box as a
   highlighted capital letter.

   To change the Display Drive, move the screen arrow to the Display Drive
   box.  Press the letter of the drive you wish to change to (A, B, C, or D).

   ShortCut will display that drive's files and directories in the Directory
   Window.

   Although only four drives are shown in the Display Drive box, ShortCut can
   work with as many as eight drives.  If you have more than four drives, you
   can also choose E, F, G, or H and ShortCut will display the files on that
   drive.  You cannot change to a drive that your system does not have. 
\DEFAULT
   DEFAULT DRIVE *

   The Default Drive is the drive used by DOS.  DOS searches for a file only
   on the Default Drive if the filename is not prefixed with a drive speci-
   fier and if a path is not set up.  ShortCut does not use the Default Drive
   as most of its commands work on the Current Displayed Directory and it 
   will preface the commands it sends to DOS with the correct drive specifier
   automatically.

   The COMMND command and User Commands use the Default Drive, not the 
   Display Drive.  This is because if you use these commands, you are 
   actually bypassing ShortCut and using DOS.

   The current Default Drive is shown in the Default Drive Box as a
   highlighted capital letter.

   To change the Default Drive, move the screen arrow to the Default Drive
   box.  Press the letter of the drive you wish to change to (A, B, C, or D).

   If you have more than four drives, you can also choose E, F, G, or H and
   ShortCut will display the files on that drive.
\TYPE
   F5 TYPE *

   The TYPE command will display the contents of the marked file(s) on your
   screen. 

   Mark the file(s) you want to see in the Directory Window.  Press F5 to
   move to the TYPE command box and hit Enter.  

   The output from TYPE scrolls by very quickly.  You can stop the scrolling
   by pressing Ctrl-Num.  Press any key to continue with the display.  

   If you have marked more than one file, the next file will be displayed as
   soon as the first is completed unless Pause is on.  In this case, the
   contents of the next file will not be displayed until you press any key.
\EDIT
   F4  EDIT

   The EDIT command is used to edit a text file with the editor of your
   choice.   
 
   Press F4 to move to the EDIT command box and hit Enter.  

   If you have marked a file in the Directory Window, your editor will be
   called up and you will be editing the marked file.  If you have not marked
   a file, you will be editing a default file.  

   You may specify which word processor or text editor you want to use as
   your editor and the name of the default file by using the SETUP command.
   If you have not specified a different editor or default filename, the EDIT
   command will use EDLIN, the editor that comes with DOS, and the default
   filename will be SCRATCH.PAD.
\PRINT
   F6 PRINT *

   The PRINT command is used to send marked file(s) to your printer.  

   Mark the file(s) you want printed.  Press F6 to move to the
   PRINT command box and hit Enter.  Your printer will begin printing the
   file(s).

   Only files in ASCII format will be readable.

   You can change how your file will be printed by using the SETUP command.
   The printing options available are:   

          Leading printer string
          Trailing printer string 
          Number of printed lines per page
          To expand tabs or not   
          Number of spaces to expand tabs

\RENAME
   F9  RENAME *

   The RENAME command is used to change the name of a marked file to a new
   name.  RENAME may be used to change multiple filenames in one operation.  

   Mark the file you want to rename in the Directory Window.  Press F9 to
   move to the RENAME command box and hit Enter.  Type in a new filename
   and press Enter again.  You will see the new filename appear in the
   Directory Window.

   You may mark more than one file to rename.  In this case, after you rename
   the first file, the next filename will be presented for you to rename
   until all the marked files have their names changed.
\RMDIR
   Shift-F8  RMDIR *

   The RMDIR command removes a subdirectory that is displayed in the 
   Directory Window.   

   Point the screen arrow at the subdirectory you want to remove.  DO NOT
   PRESS THE SPACE BAR TO MARK IT!  Press Shift-F8 to move to the RMDIR
   command box and hit Enter.  The subdirectory will be removed from your
   disk and you will see it disappear from the Directory Window.

   You cannot delete any subdirectory that contains files or other
   subdirectories.  

   Also you cannot remove the Current Displayed Directory or any subdirectory
   that is part of its path.  In other words, only subdirectories that are
   listed below the filenames in the Directory Window can be removed.
\GOTO
   ALT-G  GO TO DIRECTORY *

   The Go to Directory command is used to change to a directory that was
   previously marked with the Mark Directory command (Alt-M).

   Press Alt-G.  ShortCut will make the directory you marked with the
   Mark Directory command the Current Displayed Directory.
\MARK_SUB
   ALT-M  MARK A DIRECTORY *

   The Mark Directory command is used to "mark" a directory so that ShortCut
   will change to it when the Go to Directory command (Alt-G) is given.

   Make the directory you want to mark the Current Displayed Directory. 
   Press Alt-M to mark it.  Now you can change directories and any time you
   want to return to your marked directory, give the Go to Directory command
   (Alt-G) to quickly return.

   Only one directory can be marked at any one time.  If you mark a directory
   when another is already marked, the second directory becomes the marked
   one.
\PATH
   Shift-F1  PATH *

   The PATH command is used to see the current path and to change it if
   you wish.

   Press Shift-F1 to move to the PATH command box and hit Enter. 
   You will see the current path if there is one.  Type Y if you want to
   change it; N if you do not.

   You may set a new path only if ShortCut is not popped up.  Type in the
   new one and press Enter.  A new path will be established.

   Path Example:  A:\;B:\;C:\UTILITY

   Using this path, DOS would search for an executable file to run first
   in the root directory of Drive A, then in the root directory of Drive B,
   and finally in the Utility subdirectory of Drive C.
\SEARCH
   Shift-F9  SEARCH *

   The SEARCH command can locate any file on your disk, no matter what
   directory it is in.

   Press Shift-F9 to move to the SEARCH command box and hit Enter.  Type
   in the name of the file you are looking for.  You may use wildcards. 
   Press Enter.

   When ShortCut finds a file that matches the name you entered, you are
   asked if this is the file you want.  Your options are Y, V, or N.

   If you answer Y for Yes, ShortCut will make the directory the file is in
   the Current Displayed Directory.  Typing V will allow you to View the
   file on your screen.  Type N for No and the search will continue.

   If no match is found, the search will end.  However, if you are searching
   a disk in drive A and no match is found, you will be prompted to insert
   another disk and the search continues.

   Press Esc to stop SEARCH.
\RUN
   F2  RUN

   The RUN command executes the file at which the screen arrow is pointing
   if the file has an extension of .COM, .EXE, BAT, or BAS.  If the file has
   a different extension, ShortCut will display a message on the message
   line telling you that the file cannot be run.  

   Point the screen arrow at the file you want to run in the Directory
   Window.  You need not mark it.  Press F2 to move to the RUN command
   box. Hit the Enter key.

   Basic Programs 

   If the file extension is .BAS, ShortCut will load BASICA.COM or some other
   BASIC if you specified another using the SETUP command.  Your filename
   will be passed to BASICA, if BASICA is on the default drive or the path,
   and your program will begin running.  When you are through using BASIC and
   want to return to ShortCut, use the BASIC "system" command.
\FORMAT
   Shift-F10  FORMAT

   The FORMAT command is used to format a disk in drive B. 

   Press Shift-F10 to move to the FORMAT command box and hit Enter. 
   Put the disk you want to format in drive B.  ShortCut will ask you if you
   want to put the system files on the diskette and if you want to create a
   volume label.  Answer Y for Yes or N for No to either question. 
   Formatting will begin.  

   FORMAT will not work unless the DOS program FORMAT.COM is on either the
   default drive or in a subdirectory specified by the path.

   If you have a single floppy drive and therefore do not have a drive B, put
   the diskette with FORMAT.COM in drive A.  After formatting begins you will
   prompted to insert the diskette you want to format in drive B.  Remove the
   diskette from drive A and insert the diskette you are formatting in drive
   A.  Switch diskettes at each prompt until formatting is complete.
\DISKCOPY
   Shift-F6  DCOPY

   The DCOPY command will copy all files from a disk in drive A to a disk in
   drive B.  In addition, if the disk in drive B is not formatted, DCOPY will
   do that also.

   Press Shift-F6 to move to the DCOPY command box.  Hit Enter.  Follow
   the prompts from DOS that appear on your screen.

   For DCOPY to work, the DOS program DISKCOPY.COM must on the default drive
   or along the path you have established.

   If you have a single floppy disk drive, each time you are prompted to 
   insert a disk in drive B, put the disk in drive A.  Remember that the
   source disk is the disk you are copying, and the target disk is the
   disk you are copying files to.
