			       Introduction

	ELFTREE is designed to simplify your goal of getting the most
	out of your computer.  The heart of the program is a marvelously
	integrated file and directory manager.  With it, you can install
	software in record time, move files from one spot to another (even
	across a network!) with ease, and locate files fast on even the
	largest hard disk, regardless of whether you use DOS 2.X, 3.X or
	4.X.  You won't believe how easy it is to run a program from
	within ELFTREE, or to customize the colors displayed.  You will
	see in all of ELFTREE's features that great care was taken to
	marry great power with extreme convenience.  The result is a
	delightful product with the power to make you much more effective.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		       What Makes ELFTREE Unique?

	1. Convenience - you can customize ELFTREE from within it, so you
	     don't need to run an installation program.  Also, you can tell
	     ELFTREE to run a program for you by simply pointing to it
	     and pressing [ENTER].  You can create billions of menus
	     that can be nested any way you want, with just about any
	     command you need (even multiple commands on a line), and
	     with the ability to preload the keyboard buffer before
	     carrying out the command.  And, you can attach short,
	     descriptive notes to files.

	2. EGA/VGA modes - you can run ELFTREE in either 43 line mode or
	     or 25 line mode if you have an EGA, and you can toggle the
	     setting from within ELFTREE while you are looking at the
	     directory tree, the file information screen, or while you
	     are viewing a file.  This lets you see twice as much of your
	     system's information at a time!  (The mode is reset, if needed,
	     when you exit ELFTREE.)  If you have a VGA, you can also get
	     a 28 and a 50 line mode.

	3. Flexible Capacity - ELFTREE can manage 24 to 4000 directories
	     per disk, and from 50 to 3000 files per directory!  In
	     addition, you can work with files from up to 1000 directories
	     and 26 disks as if they were in one location!  This gives
	     you plenty of power to manage your system.

	4. Consistency - When you rename a directory, ELFTREE updates your
	     directory tree accordingly, keeping your directories sorted.
	     If you remove the current directory, you are moved to the
	     parent directory automatically.  If you attempt to enter a
	     directory that no longer exists, ELFTREE prunes the tree
	     automatically for your convenience.

	5. Trim - ELFTREE saves the directory tree on your disk, if it
	     can.  This helps ELFTREE start faster for your use.  Plus,
	     when you run a program from within ELFTREE, only 3K of RAM
	     will be reserved, leaving you with the room to run your
	     memory-hungry programs.  If even 3K is too much, or you want
	     to install a TSR, you can tell ELFTREE to unload itself
	     completely before running a program.

	6. Viewing Options - When viewing a file, you can print portions
	     of it, save portions to another file, or convert portions
	     to upper, lower or proper case.  You can also adjust the 
	     amount by which tabs are expanded (or turn it off completely),
	     and the manner in which text is displayed.  This makes it
	     easier to align the text on your screen so that it looks as
	     it was intended.  For example, Assembler listings usually
	     need a setting of 8, but Pascal programs use a setting of 3.
	     You can also change the display to hex (ASCII above, HEX below),
	     and you can suppress CR/LF, printable characters, or the high
	     bit on characters.  ELFTREE can also scroll up or down for
	     you automatically, and at differing speeds.  If you have an
	     EGA or VGA, you can also adjust the number of lines visible
	     on the screen at one time.  (See #2. above)

	7. Powerful Editing - ELFTREE has an editor that can edit files as
	     large as available memory.  Furthermore, the editor is packed
	     with features you need: Column block operations, Normal block
	     operations, 11 stored keyboard macros, Fast operation, etc.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			   ELFTREE FEATURES

	ELFTREE can assist you in many ways.  Here is a list of them,
	and how you select them:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		     Selectable From The Menu Bar

	    1. Tagging - To work on a group of files, you 'tag' them.
		 To tag the highlighted file, just press [SPACEBAR]
		 and a '' will appear to the left of the name.  To
		 clear the tag, press [SPACEBAR] again.  You can get
		 more tagging options from the Tag command.  (There is
		 no need to tag an individual file to work with it.)

	    2. Attributes - You can change attributes for files and
		 directories quickly.  For example, you will want to
		 make some of your important files read-only, so that
		 they can't be erased 'accidentally'.  Also, you will
		 probably want to hide some of your personal files
		 on your office computer so that a casual snoop won't
		 know they're around.  (If you have DOS 3.0 or later,
		 you can run programs even though they are hidden!)

	    3. Copying - You can copy files to another directory or
		 disk quickly, copy a selection of directories to
		 another disk, or duplicate the highlighted file.  

	    4. Directory - ELFTREE will show you your directory as a
		 tree, with the directories in alphabetical order.  You
		 can move from one directory to another using the cursor
		 keys, create a new directory ([N]), delete empty sub-
		 directories ([F7]), change to a different disk ([F6]),
		 rescan the current disk ([S]), find a directory ([F]),
		 tag directories ([SPACEBAR] or [T]), hide directories
		 ([H]) or copy/move directories ([C]/[M]).

	    5. Edit - You can call up an editor (or word processor) to
		 work on a file by highlighting the file you want to work
		 on, then tapping [E].

	    6. Find - This gives you the power to manage files across
		 many directories and disks.

	    7. Moving - You can move files to another directory or disk
		 quickly, or you can move a selection of directories to
		 another disk.

	    8. Note - Attach, edit, erase or find notes about files.

	    9. Print - Print files or a directory listing.

	   10. Rename - You can rename a file or directory by just
		 entering a new name for it when prompted.

	   11. Space - You can check space utilization on a disk.  This
		 will show how much space the disk can hold, how much
		 is used up (also as a percent), how much is free, and how
		 much disk space tagged files use (or would use).

	   12. View - YOU CAN BROWSE THE Contents of the highlighted
		 file.  This will handle any file you have on your
		 disk, regardless of size.  You can adjust expansion
		 of tabs and the manner in which information is shown,
		 and you can print or save portions of it, or convert
		 them to upper, lower or proper case.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		    Selectable By Function Keys (File Display)

	   F1: Help - Brings up the help system for ELFTREE.

	   F2: Sort - Lets you sort the file information in many ways.
		 Choose from Name, Extension, Date/Time, Size, Attribute,
		 or Unsorted, with all of these in Ascending/Descending
		 order.

    [X] or F3: DOS - Enter a DOS command, run a program from within
		 ELFTREE, select a command from one of 10 user-defined
		 menus, or exit to DOS temporarily.  ELFTREE remembers
		 your last 15 unique commands.  When you run a program
		 from within ELFTREE, it reserves only 3K for its own use.

	   F4: Customize - Lets you customize settings for ELFTREE.  You
		 can customize many ELFTREE settings - too many to list
		 here.  Go try it out!

      Ctrl-F4: Toggles between Immediate and Delay operation modes.

	   F5: Rearrange - This lets you move the highlighted item up
		 or down in the display.  This can be handy when you
		 want to print files in a particular order, but can't
		 quite get that order by sorting alone.

	   F6: Change Disk - Changes to another disk, or rereads the
		 current directory if the same disk is selected.

  [DEL] or F7: Erase - Erases files, or removes a directory.  The file
		 can be recovered if you have a utility that does this.

	   F8: Last Directory - returns you to the directory you were
		 in before you went to this one.

      Ctrl-F8: Compare Directories - tags files in current directory that
		 are dissimilar to files in previous directory, retags
		 those that are not in the previous directory.

	   F9: Save - Saves the current ELFTREE system settings.

	  F10: Change File Spec - Lets you tell ELFTREE what files to show.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			   Directory Display Functions

	  ESC: Returns you to File Display.

	   F1: Brings up Help.

	   F6: Change Disk - Changes to another disk.

	   F7: Remove Directory - Deletes an empty directory, and all
		empty subdirectories of it.

	   F9: Save - Saves the current directory tree, temporarily
		overriding the  /K=0   command-line switch.

	  F10: Lets you quickly change what files you wish to be used
		when you select Move, Copy, Graft or [ENTER].


	    C: Copy - copy all tagged directories to another disk.

	    E: Expose - exposes hidden subdirectories of the one highlighted.

	  W,F: Find - locates a directory with the given name.

	    G: Graft - graft the tagged directories onto
		another directory.

	    H: Hide - hides all tagged directories from view.

	    M: Move - move all tagged directories to another disk.

	    N: New Directory - lets you create a subdirectory of the
		 directory currently highlighted.

	    P: Print Tree - prints the current directory tree.

	    S: Scan - builds directory tree for display.

	    T: Tag Subdirectories - tag the highlighted directory and
		all subdirectories of it.

	    U: Untag Subdirectories - untag the highlighted directory and
		all subdirectories of it.

     [Ctrl-Z]: Toggles whether ELFTREE unloads itself completely before
		running a program for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			   Unusually Activated Features

	When you highlight a file with an extension of EXE, COM or BAT
	in the file information window and tap [F3], ELFTREE will 'preload'
	the name of that file in the command line that appears.  To run the
	program, you simply press [ENTER].  Alternatively, if you set ELFTREE
	for Mode: Immediate instead of Mode: Delay, you can skip the [F3]
	entirely, and just press [ENTER] to run the program.

	You can train ELFTREE to be sensitive in another way.  Say you
	want to load your word processor when the highlighted file has
	an extension of DOC, or your spreadsheet when the extension is
	WK1.  When you've prepared ELFTREE appropriately, you just press
	[ENTER] and the program is launched with that file loaded for you.
	Similarly, if you have programs that are designed to view certain
	types of files, you can train ELFTREE to load the viewer you want
	by simply highlighting the file and tapping [V].

	Finally, if you have an EGA or VGA (ELFTREE will detect it), you
	can vary the number of lines displayed on the screen by pressing
	[Ctrl-V] (think of the V as in VIDEO).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	Enjoy!


			  Active Keys In ELFTREE

	The choice of keys used in ELFTREE is designed with your
	convenience in mind and, with practice, will quickly become
	familiar to you.  Here is a list of them, and a description
	of what each one is programmed to do for you:

		 Part I   - The Elvish Touch
		 Part II  - File Information Screen Only
		 Part III - Directory Information Screen Only
		 Part IV  - Editing Keys

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		 Part I   - The Elvish Touch

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	Elvish Consulting is proud to introduce The Elvish Touch, which
	lets you use any feature of ELFTREE without needing more than
	one finger!  (Incidentally, this will NOT interfere with any
	keyboard handlers you may be using.)

	For example, suppose you want to locate a file that starts with 'E'.
	In ELFTREE, the keystroke [Alt-E] performs this action, and normally
	requires you to hold down the [Alt] key and then tap the [E] key.
	If you use The Elvish Touch, you can also select this by tapping
	[Alt], and then tapping [E].  Such convenience!

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    Activating The Elvish Touch
	    ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Here's how to start up ELFTREE with The Elvish Touch enabled:

	    ET /1

	The '/1' indicates that you want the feature activated.  To make
	ELFTREE remember this, press [F9] to SAVE the system settings.

	To disable The Elvish Touch, use:

	    ET /2

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    ALT and CTRL LOCK
	    ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE offers a way to 'lock' the [Alt] and [Ctrl] keys.  For
	example, if you want to lock the [Alt] key, you tap it twice,
	and an 'A' will appear in the lower right corner of your screen,
	signifying that [Alt] is in a locked state.  While [Alt] is
	locked, every key that can be modified by [Alt] is.  Thus, [E]
	becomes [Alt-E], [F1] becomes [Alt-F1], etc.  To 'unlock' [Alt],
	tap [Alt] or [Ctrl] once, and the 'A' will disappear.  Also, if
	[Alt] is locked, you can lock [Ctrl] by just tapping it twice.
	When [Ctrl] is locked, a 'C' will appear in the lower right corner
	of your screen, and any keys you press that can be modified are
	modified accordingly, so [E] becomes [Ctrl-E], etc.

	It is not possible to lock both [Alt] and [Ctrl] at the same time.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		 or one file-note pair per row.

       [HOME] - Highlights the first item in the file information area, if
		 in 1-column mode.  In multi-column mode, its function
		 depends on how many times you press it without using any
		 any other key.  Press it once, and the highlight moves to
		 the top of the current column.  Press it again, and the
		 highlight moves to the top of the first column.  Press it
		 a third time (or more) and the highlight moves to the
		 first item in the file information area.

       [END]  - Highlights the last item in the file information area, if
		 in 1-column mode.  In multi-column mode, its function
		 depends on how many times you press it without using any
		 any other key.  Press it once, and the highlight moves to
		 the bottom of the current column.  Press it again, and the
		 highlight moves to the bottom of the last column.  Press
		 it a third time (or more) and the highlight moves to the
		 last item in the file information area.

  [Ctrl-PGDN] - Moves the highlight to the last item.

  [Ctrl-PGUP] - Moves the highlight to the first item.

		     In immediate mode, this executes the highlighted
		     program (or program associated with it), if possible,
		     enters the directory (if a directory), or selects
		     the menu command, if none of these apply.
	    [ESC] - Cancels current operation; exits program if no
		     operations pending.

    [Plus] or [+] - Moves highlight forward to the next directory.
   [Minus] or [-] - Moves highlight backward to the previous directory.

    [A]-[Z] - If the letter you press matches the first character of a
	       menu item, the corresponding command is chosen.

	[B] - Toggles file column borders.  If they are on, this turns
	       them off.  If they're off, this turns them on, but only
	       if there's a box around the line of file information at
	       the bottom of the screen.

	[L] - Change to the current directory on another disk, or reread
	       the current directory (same as [F6]).

	[U] - Pops up a menu file called MENU.ETU or, if unavailable,
	       loads ELFMENU (if available).

	[Y] - Tap this twice to change the date format.  The three
	       selections are MM/DD/YY, YY/MM/DD and DD/MM/YY.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			     ALT KEYS

       [Alt-Key] - Search for an item whose first letter matches 'Key'
		    For example, [Alt-A] looks for the next item that
		    starts with 'A'.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			     FUNCTION KEYS

       [F1] - Activates the Help system.

       [F2] - Use this to sort the file area information.
	       (See [F5] below for further rearranging.)

	       show you when it scans a directory for you, or the various
	       ELFTREE operation modes.

       [F5] - Use this to rearrange the order of the file information area
	       to something not achievable via the Sort facility alone.

       [F6] - Change to the current directory on another disk, or reread
	       the current directory.

[DEL], [F7] - Erase a file or, if the highlighted item is a directory,
or [Ctrl-K]    remove it and all subdirectories (assuming they're empty).

       [F8] - Returns you to the last directory you looked at.

  [Ctrl-F8] - Tags files in the current directory that are dissimilar
	       to files in the previous directory you looked at, retags
	       those that are not in the other directory.

       [F9] - Save the ELFTREE system settings.

       [F10]- Lets you quickly change what files you wish to be seen.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			     CTRL KEYS

       [Ctrl ->] - If the item highlighted is a directory, and the last
		    key pressed was not [Ctrl <-], this puts you into that
		    directory.  Otherwise, it moves you forward to the

		    in (if it has one).

	[Ctrl-V] - If you have an EGA compatible adapter, this is used to
		    toggle 43 line mode and 25 line mode.  If you have a
		    VGA adapter, you have the additional benefit of a 28
		    and a 50 line mode.  If ELFTREE does not detect an
		    EGA or VGA, this has no effect.

or [Ctrl-K]    If you remove the current directory, you are put into the
	       parent of it.

       [F9] - Saves the current directory tree, temporarily overriding
	       the  /K=0   command-line switch.

      [F10] - Lets you quickly change what files you wish to be used
	       when you select move, copy, graft or [ENTER].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

			     CTRL KEYS

 [.] or [Ctrl-P] - Go left to the parent directory of the one highlighted.

	[Ctrl-V] - If you have an EGA compatible adapter, this is used to
		    toggle 43 line mode and 25 line mode.  If you have a
		    VGA adapter, you have the additional benefit of a 28
		    and a 50 line mode.  If ELFTREE does not detect an
		    EGA or VGA, this has no effect.

	[Ctrl-S] - Same as [<-] (cursor left)
	[Ctrl-D] - Same as [->] (cursor right)
	[Ctrl-E] - Same as [] (cursor up)
	[Ctrl-X] - Same as [] (cursor down)
	[Ctrl-R] - Same as [PgUp]
	[Ctrl-C] - Same as [PgDn]
	[Ctrl-F] - Same as [HOME]
	[Ctrl-J] - Same as [END]
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

		 Part IV  - Editing Keys (for editing popups only)

			   █ Sorting Files █
			   █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE provides numerous options for sorting the items in the
	file information area of your screen.  This allows you to look
	at your files and directories in many different ways, and lets
	you reorganize the files in a directory quickly.

	There are six different ways you can sort these items and, for
	each, you can specify either increasing or decreasing order:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY NAME
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you sort these items by name, the displayed files will be
	listed in name-first order.  For example, TODD.DOC would come
	after STEVE.TXT, if the sort were in ascending order.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY EXTENSION
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can sort these items by extension so, for example, FIRST.BAS
	would come before ALPHA.COM.  An item with no extension would
	precede any item with an extension under this type of sort, if
	the sort were in ascending order.  If two or more files have
	identical extensions, they will be listed in ascending order
	by name.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY SIZE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can sort your items by size.  If you choose a descending
	order for the sort, your largest files would be listed first,
	and your smallest ones (directories, if any) would be last.
	If two or more files have the same size, the tie is broken by
	sorting by name, then extension.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY DATE/TIME
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can sort your items by date/time.  For an ascending sort,
	the oldest files would be listed first, and the most recent
	listed last.  If two or more files have the same date/time, the
	tie is broken by sorting by name, then extension.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY DISK ORDER
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can list the items in the order in which they are on the
	disk, or in the reverse of this order.  This is handy when you
	want to see where files are in the chain.  For example, you
	might want to put frequently accessed files near the top of the
	chain, so DOS can find them faster.  To do this, first arrange
	the files in the order you want them to be chained (use the
	REARRANGE key [F5] for tweaking), then move them to a new
	directory, then move them back to the starting directory.  (You
	might also get by with deleting the old directory, and renaming
	the new one.)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY ATTRIBUTE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can sort your items by attribute.  This is handy when you
	want to group all files of similar attribute together, such as
	archived files that need to be copied to a disk for backup.  If
	two or more files have the same attribute, the tie is broken by
	sorting by name, then extension.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BY TAG
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This sorting option lets you group all of your tagged, retagged
	and untagged files together.  If two or more files have the same
	tag, the tie is broken by sorting by name, then extension.
	
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	NOTE: You can rearrange the file display in a manner impossible
	by just sorting with the Rearrange [F5] key.  This lets you move
	one item at a time to a new position up or down in the display.

			     █ DOS Gateway █
			     █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	The facilities available to you through the DOS Gateway let you:

	 1. Run a program with 3K or ZERO K of RAM overhead!  Imagine
	     yourself pointing to a program you want to run, pressing [ENTER],
	     and letting ELFTREE load it for you.  Then, when you exit
	     your program, ELFTREE reloads itself automatically.

	 2. Select commands from one of billions of menus that you create
	     (up to 20 commands per menu and 10 levels of menus).

	 3. Execute DOS commands easily.  In addition, ELFTREE remembers
	     the last 15 unique commands you gave.  It also provides a
	     quick, temporary exit to DOS, so you can work with DOS for
	     a period of time, if you need to, then return to ELFTREE
	     when you are ready.

	 4. Use short symbols to:
	      a. Join one command to another for sequential execution.
		   (symbol:  ^)
	      b. Represent file names, extensions (or name.ext).
		   (symbols:  #n, #e and #f, respectively)
	      c. Signal a change to a different directory.
		   (symbol:  #d)
	      d. Ask for input to a command.
		   (symbol:  #i)
	      e. Just stuff the keyboard buffer (don't execute)
		   (symbol:  #j)
	      f. Stuff the keyboard buffer, then execute the command.
		   (symbol:  #k)
	      g. Execute a command against a list consisting of the
		  names of the tagged files.
		   (symbol:  #L)
	      h. Cause ELFTREE to repeat a command until you tell it
		  to quit.  (symbol:  #r)
	      i. Wait after execution of a command.
		   (symbol:  #w)
	      j. Execute a command against each tagged file.
		   (symbol:  #t)
	      k. Execute a command against a file consisting of the
		  names of the tagged files (1 name per line).
		   (symbol:  #@)
	      l. Do not unload completely prior to executing command(s).
		   (symbol:  #y)
	      m. Unload completely prior to executing command(s).
		   (symbol:  #z)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       IMMEDIATE MODE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 
	If ELFTREE is set up for Immediate mode, and the item highlighted
	is a program that can be run, or has an extension that ELFTREE
	is sensitive to, you launch the program by just tapping [ENTER].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       DOS WINDOW
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Press [F3] to open the DOS Gateway.  A window will appear, with
	a line for you to enter your command.  For example, you could
	give the command   DIR A:  to get a directory listing of your A:
	disk, or you could enter   DATE   to change your system date.

	       COMMAND SHORTCUTS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE offers you additional power by allowing you to combine
	multiple commands as one, to use short symbols for commonly used
	objects such as the name of a file, or to execute a command against
	all tagged files.  Here are examples of how to use each of these:

	 Examples:
	   a. Multiple commands (use ^ to combine each command):

		dir a:^dir b:^dir c:

	   b. Using symbols for file names, etc.

		type #f     or    dir #n.*

	   c. Signal a directory change.

		C:\QPRO\Q.EXE  #d
		(changes to C:\QPRO, starts up Quattro Pro)

	   d. Ask for input to a command.

		dir #i

	   e. Just stuff the keyboard buffer (don't execute).  Up to
	       5000 keys can be stuffed using this option (you must use
	       the command-line switch /K=#### to get more than the default
	       of 100, however - see the Help selection on Customize).

		Copy file(s) to A$#jca~y
	      (Note: this stuffs the characters [C], [A], [ENTER] and [Y],
		then processes them)

	   f. Stuff the keyboard buffer, then execute the command.

		backup #k12~

	     Note: These character(s) have special meaning:
		 ~ - [ENTER]
		 ` - [TAB]
		 @ - [ESC]
		=1 - [F1] (similarly for F2,...,F9)
		=0 - [F10]

		+1 - [Shift-F1] (similarly for [Shift-F2],...,[Shift-F9])
		+0 - [Shift-F10]

		(1 - [Ctrl-F1] (similarly for [Ctrl-F2],...,[Ctrl-F9])
		(0 - [Ctrl-F10]
		(A - [Ctrl-A] (similarly for [Ctrl-B],...,[Ctrl-Z])

		)1 - [Alt-F1] (similarly for [Alt-F2],...,[Alt-F9])
		)0 - [Alt-F10]
		)A - [Alt-A] (similarly for [Alt-B],...,[Alt-Z])

		!1 - the cursor key with '1' on it (i.e., End)
		      (similarly for !2 [DownArrow],..,!9 [PgUp])

	     Macro expansion continues after a #k is encountered; the
	      keyboard is not stuffed until all have been resolved.  (up
	      to 15 characters can be stuffed)  For example:

		Load Spreadsheet$C:\QPRO\Q.EXE #k/fr#f

		This stuffs the keyboard with '/fr' followed by the name
		of the highlighted file.

	   g. Execute a command against a list consisting of the
	       names of the tagged files.

		print #L

	   h. Cause ELFTREE to repeat a command.

		print #f#r

	   i. Wait after execution of a command.

		print #f#w

	   j. Execute a command against each tagged file.

		print #f#t

	   k. Execute this command against a file consisting of the
	       names of the tagged files (1 name per line).

		archive -a #@ saveme

	   l. Do not unload completely prior to executing command(s).

		archive -a #@ saveme #y

	   m. Unload completely prior to executing command(s).

		archive -a #@ saveme #z

	These special characters, which we call macro symbols, give you
	powerful shortcuts to specifying commands.  They are especially
	useful when combined with ELFTREE's user menus, described next,
	or with ELFTREE's extension sensitivity (three sections down).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       USER MENUS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE can automatically load one of 11 menus for you when you
	press the key it is attached to.  These menus can be activated
	from the file information screen or the DOS Gateway, and they can
	each nest other menus up to 10 levels deep.

	The keys to which you can attach a menu are [U] (from the file
	information screen only), [Alt-U] (from the DOS Gateway only),
	and [Alt-F1] through [Alt-F10] (from either the DOS Gateway or
	the file information screen).

	Here's how to attach a menu to [Alt-F1].  Tap the [Alt-F1] key.
	You will be told that the menu does not exist, and will be asked if
	you want to create it now.  Answer [Y].  This loads the editor with
	the menu file ALTF1.ETU.  On each line of this file, type a command
	you want to appear on the menu, preceded by a label (recommended, but
	not required).  Each line may be up to 500 characters in length (not
	including label), and each label must be followed by a single $ symbol.
	For example:

	  Format disk$format a:
	  Spreadsheet$C:\QPRO\Q.EXE
	  Type a File$type $f
	  rr c all
	  rm d

	You may use any of the special symbols defined in the preceding
	section as part of the command for a menu selection.

	All menu files you create must be stored in the directory where you
	store your global search files (the environment variable ETFIND is
	used to determine this - if you don't have one, then the menus go
	into the directory where ELFTREE is stored).

	Press [Alt-F1] to activate this menu.  To select an item from the
	menu, use the cursor keys to highlight it, then tap [ENTER].  Or,
	press the key corresponding to the first character of the item.
	If the selected item does not have a label, and you activated the
	menu from the DOS Gateway, it will appear on the command line so
	that you can modify it.  Otherwise, it will be executed immediately.
	If you decide that you want to make a change to your menu, just
	tap [Alt-E] and ELFTREE will let you edit it again.

	If you wish to make a menu for [Alt-F2], follow the same procedure,
	but tap the key [Alt-F2] to get started.  You can put up to 20
	selections in each menu file.

	The menu attached to either [U] (or [Alt-U]) is named MENU.ETU, and
	is stored in the same directory as all of the other menus.

	       SUBMENUS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To set up a menu selection as a submenu, simply type the name of
	the menu (it must have the extension .ETU and be located in the
	same directory as the other menus) where you would normally type
	the command.  Here is an example of a menu with both commands
	and submenus:

	  Utilities Menu$UTILS.ETU
	  Format disk$format a:
	  Spreadsheet$C:\QPRO\Q.EXE
	  Database Menu$DBASES.ETU
	  Project Menu$PRJ.ETU

	Selecting a submenu is identical to selecting any other menu item;
	just highlight it and tap [ENTER], or tap the first letter of its
	label.  The submenu will appear next, and you can proceed to make
	another choice, or you can press [ESC] to back up to the previous
	parent menu.

	       IMMEDIATE KEYS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you create a menu with one selection, then tap the key for that
	menu, ELFTREE will select that item IMMEDIATELY.  This convenience
	lets you use menus as "Immediate Keys", or keys that carry out a
	command immediately upon activation.  In other words, ELFTREE will
	only display a menu if it has more than 1 selection on it, otherwise
	it will execute the command on it IMMEDIATELY.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       AUTOMATIC LOADING
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When the currently highlighted file has an extension of EXE, COM,
	BAT or BTM, the name of the file will appear in the command line
	when the Gateway is activated.  This is designed to let you execute
	a program by first pointing to it, then pressing [ENTER].

	ELFTREE can be much smarter than this, however.  Read on.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EXTENSION SENSITIVITY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can train ELFTREE to bring up your word processor when the
	currently highlighted file has an extension of, say, DOC, or to
	load your spreadsheet program when the current file's extension
	is WQ1.  To do this, create an ASCII file with this layout:

	DOC C:\MSWORD\WORD.EXE /c	(parameters can be used)
	WQ1 C:\QPRO\Q.EXE
	RXD C:\REFLEX\REFLEX.EXE
	ZIP D:\PKZIP.EXE -p #f		(macro symbols can be used)

	Save this file under the name PROGRAMS.ELF in the same directory
	that the other ELFTREE files are located.  The next time you read
	this directory, ELFTREE will be 'sensitized' to these extensions.
	This means, for example, that when you highlight the file REPORT.DOC
	and press [F3], the DOS window will pop up, and the command line will
	lok like this:

	C:\MSWORD\WORD.EXE REPORT.DOC

	Now, press [ENTER] and the program will be started for you.
	You can choose up to 40 extensions for ELFTREE to be aware of,
	and the extensions can use the DOS wildcards `*' and `?'.

	Notes: One of the joys of Immediate mode is that you can tap [ENTER]
		on a file with a special extension and have ELFTREE load
		the program (and file) Immediately.

	       ELFTREE will allow you to have multiple PROGRAMS.ELF files.
		When you enter a directory, ELFTREE looks for a PROGRAMS.ELF
		file and, if it finds one, 'resensitizes' itself to what is
		in this new one.  When you then move on to another directory,
		ELFTREE stays sensitive to these extensions.

	       See the help on Viewing A File for related information.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       RAM USAGE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you execute an application from inside ELFTREE using one of
	these procedures, ELFTREE will release all but 3K of RAM to it!
	This lets you run memory-hungry programs from inside ELFTREE
	without worries about whether there's enough memory available.
	When you run a BAT file, ELFTREE frees up all but 6 or 7K,
	depending on which version of DOS you are running.

	       ZERO RAM USAGE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you wish ELFTREE to unload itself completely from memory before
	executing a command or program, there are three easy ways to make
	this happen:

	   1. Start up with the /Z=1 command line switch:   ET /Z=1
	   2. Use the #z somewhere in the command.
	   3. Tap [Ctrl-Z] once.

	When you elect to unload completely, ELFTREE will build a file
	called ETRUN.BAT for you, then unload itself and run this file.
	Because ELFTREE has to stuff the keyboard with ETRUN.BAT~ before
	unloading itself, the #k symbol is unavailable for your command.
	For this reason, we recommend using the #z symbol instead of the
	command line switch of /Z=1 whenever possible.

	The ETRUN.BAT file is erased by ELFTREE when it starts up.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       GO TO DOS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can go directly to DOS from ELFTREE by not giving a command
	when you pop up the window, but by just pressing ENTER instead.
	ELFTREE will release all but 6 or 7K of RAM, leaving the rest
	for you.

	If you want a quicker way to get to DOS, don't bother with
	tapping [F3], etc. - just tap [O] from the main menu screen.

	ELFTREE will temporarily change your prompt to remind you that
	you are shelled out to DOS - you'll see a >> in your prompt.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ELFTREE REMEMBERS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE keeps track of the last 15 commands entered in its DOS
	window.  You can cycle through a menu of them by pressing the
	[] (down arrow) key and [] (up arrow) keys.  To clear a
	command you no longer want remembered, just tap [Backspace].
	To select the currently highlighted command, tap [ENTER].  If
	you don't want any of the commands, tap [ESC].

	To clear the currently displayed command from the line in the
	window, press [Ctrl-Backspace] (hold down the [Ctrl] key, then
	tap the [Backspace] key).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PROBLEMS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You may encounter a program that refuses to be run from inside
	ELFTREE.  Here's a trick that usually works:  Type the phrase
	COMMAND.COM /C  before the program name.  Here's an example of
	what this might look like:

	COMMAND /C  PEST.EXE

	If this doesn't work, then you should have ELFTREE unload itself
	from RAM completely before attempting to run the program.  See the
	section above on ZERO RAM USAGE for more information.

	If none of these methods works, but the program runs fine from
	DOS, please contact us so we can help you get it fixed.

			  █ Customizing ELFTREE █
			  █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█


	You can easily customize ELFTREE from within it!  There is no
	separate installation program to run.  You can change the colors
	displayed on the screen or the borders to use for popups, speed
	up or slow down your keyboard, tell ELFTREE what items you want
	to see when it shows you the contents of a directory, specify
	what editor (or word processor) to use when you invoke EDIT, and
	set various options.

	NOTE: For all of these, you must SAVE [F9] your settings before
	leaving ELFTREE, if you want ELFTREE to use them the next time.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       START CUSTOMIZATION
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You initiate customization by pressing the [F4] key.  A menu
	will pop up, showing you what items can be changed.  Select the
	the item you want to work with by pressing the key for it, or
	highlighting it and then tapping [ENTER].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       BORDER STYLE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you tap [A] to change the border (box) on popup prompts
	and menus, the inside of the customization box will change to
	a prompt telling you what to do next.  Tap [SPACE] to see the
	next choice of border style.  Continue tapping [SPACE] until
	you find one you like, then tap [ENTER] to keep it.  If you
	don't want to change the current style, just tap [ESC].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       COLOR SELECTIONS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you press a key corresponding to a color option, a color
	table will appear in the lower right corner of your screen,
	and the cursor will be located at the current color of the item
	you selected.  Just move the cursor to the color you want, and
	watch how the color of the selected item changes.

	When you have found the color you want, just press the [ENTER] key,
	and this will be the new color selected.  If you change your mind
	about picking a color, just press [ESC] to go back to the original
	color for that item.  Be sure to SAVE [F9] your changes if you want
	them to be permanent!

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       KEYBOARD SPEED
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this option pops up a window showing the current
	keyboard delay, and the current keyboard repeat rate.  To change
	the delay, move the highlight bar (up or down) to it and press
	the spacebar until the setting you want shows (the only choices
	supported are 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or 1 second).  Repeat this procedure
	for the keyboard repeat rate, if desired.  Press [ENTER] to save
	your changes when you have completed your selection.  If you
	change your mind, press [ESC] to keep the former settings.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FILE SEARCH SPEC
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Choosing File Search Spec gives you control over what will be
	displayed by ELFTREE in the file information area.  You choose
	this in two parts.

	The first tells ELFTREE what names to use when it is looking for
	things to show you.  When you first start ELFTREE, this is "*.*",
	which means "show me everything that's out there".  However, you
	might want ELFTREE to display only your memos, which have an
	extension, say, of MMO.  No problem, just enter  *.MMO, and these
	will be the only ones shown.

	However, you may want ELFTREE to display files that match a group
	of names, instead of what can be given in one specification.  To
	do this, simply enter more such specifications where indicated,
	and separate each item by a colon (:).  (For your convenience,
	pressing the semicolon with or without the SHIFT key pressed will
	enter a colon for you.  For example, to bring up only files with
	an extension of .COM, .EXE or .BAT, this will do the trick:

		 *.COM:*.EXE:*.BAT

	If you give no file specification, the default one used is *.*,
	which will display all files with the desired attributes.

	Regardless of the file specification you enter, you are then given
	the option of 'reversing' it - that is, show all files EXCEPT those
	that match this spec.  If you wish to reverse it, just answer [Y];
	otherwise (the default), tap [ENTER] or [N].

	Next, you indicate what types of items that have such names should
	be included.  You can specify hidden, system, read-only, or archived
	files, and you can specify whether directories, labels, or files
	with no attributes (called Normal files by DOS) are included.  If
	a selection on this menu has a Yes by it, then it will be included;
	otherwise, it will be excluded.  To change from a Yes to a No, or
	vice versa, simply highlight the selection you wish to change, and
	tap [SPACEBAR] once.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EDITOR NAME
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE now has its own editor that can edit multiple files
	quickly and efficiently.  If, however, you want to use your
	favorite editor or word processor with ELFTREE, no problem.

	To tell ELFTREE what editor to use, select [K] from the menu,
	and fill in the box with the name (use the drive and path if
	you know them) of the editor you want to use.  For example:

	      C:\EDITOR\MYEDIT.EXE

	Next, tell ELFTREE what parameters you wish to be included with
	each invocation of the editor, if any.  Feel free to use ELFTREE's
	powerful macro symbols among the parameters.

	After you've entered all this, ELFTREE will check to see if the
	editor is available, and will tell you if it cannot find it.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FORMAT NAME
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	In order to use ELFTREE to format disks, you need to tell it the
	name of your formatting program.  Most people use the one
	supplied with DOS, which is called FORMAT.COM or FORMAT.EXE.
	Fill in the box with the name that applies to your machine, if
	you know it.  If you know the directory it is stored in, you
	should enter this as well.

	Next, tell ELFTREE what parameters to use every time it invokes
	this formatting program.  You should NOT enter any disk letters
	such as A: or B:, as ELFTREE will supply these for you when they
	are needed.  In fact, under normal circumstances, you will never
	need to enter any parameters here.  However, if you format DSDD
	disks on a high-density 5 1/4" disk drive, you will need to supply
	the parameter /4 to ensure that they format correctly.  Ask your
	system specialist if you need help.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FILE COLUMNS
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you prefer to have vertical lines separating the columns of
	file information, set this for Yes, otherwise set it for No.
	Yes is the default, however, columns will still not be shown if
	the border type (see next item) is a space.  If you need to toggle
	the column borders on/off from the file screen, tap [B].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FILE BORDER TYPE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This gives you additional control over whether borders will be
	drawn to separate the file information displayed, and it lets
	you choose the border that is most visually appealing to you.
	There are 9 different types of borders possible (including none
	at all).  To select the one you want, tap [SPACEBAR] to cycle
	through the selections and, when you spot the one you want, tap
	the [ENTER] key to keep it.  [ESC] cancels the selection.
	If you chose no border at all, ELFTREE will use more rows to
	display file information for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       OPEN CHOICES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you first get into ELFTREE, it shows you the files in the
	current directory.  You may prefer to always see the directory
	tree first, however.  This option lets you choose what you
	prefer to see when ELFTREE starts up.  Files is the default.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EXIT CHOICES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you wish to leave ELFTREE (we can't imagine why), you can
	have it always drop you off in the Current directory or your
	Original directory (where you started ELFTREE up), or you can
	make it always ask before exiting.  This latter option is handy
	if you tap [ESCAPE] accidentally.  The default is Ask.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       QUIET MODE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When ELFTREE needs to get your attention, it beeps.  This is
	not always such a good idea, and this option lets you tell it
	whether to turn the beep off or leave it on (the default).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       MENU MODE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can tell ELFTREE to automatically choose the submenu option
	it highlights when you select a tool.  This is called Immediate
	mode, and here's an example of how it works:  Suppose you tag a
	few files and choose the Copy  tool.  ELFTREE assumes that you
	want the Tagged files copied, so it goes ahead and taps [ENTER]
	for you.  The default is Delay mode, which lets you confirm the
	submenu choice before proceeding.

	Immediate mode has other advantages.  If the highlighted file is
	a program, or the data file associated with a program that you've
	trained ELFTREE to recognize, you can run it by simply tapping
	[ENTER].  If a directory is highlighted, you can enter it by
	tapping [ENTER].  This makes ELFTREE simpler for you to use.

	Note: Press [Ctrl-F4] from the file screen to toggle the mode.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       CASE (looking for strings)
	       ▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE can quickly find strings in one or more files.  By default,
	it ignores upper and lower case when searching so that, if you
	were searching for ELFTREE, it would find elftree, Elftree, ELFTREE
	and so on.  If this is not sufficient for you, this is the place
	to change it to what you want.  You have four (4) choices here:

	   Respect - find exact matches only.
	    Ignore - find matches that agree except for case.
	       Ask - ask about case sensitivity before searching.
	     Smart - If the string to look for has both UPPER and lower
		      characters, then case is respected, otherwise it
		      is ignored.  For example, a search for Copyright
		      would respect case, but not for copyright.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	In addition to this customize menu, you can configure ELFTREE with
	certain command-line switches that you type after the ET that gets
	ELFTREE up and running.  Here are the switches that may be used,
	and what they represent:

	     /1       - Activates The Elvish Touch (one-finger operation).
	     /2       - Deactivates The Elvish Touch.
	     /C       - if you have a composite monitor.
	     /D=####  - set maximum number of directories to handle.
			  (max is 3,999; default is 200)
	     /F=####  - set maximum number of files to handle.
			  (max is 2,978; default is 1500)
	     /G=####  - set maximum number of directories to handle globally.
			  (max is 1,000; default is 50)
	     /K=#     - if # is less than 10, this determines whether to keep
			  the directory tree map on disk.
			  (default is 1, turn it off with /K=0)
	     /K=####  - if # is greater than 10, this determines the number
			  of internal macro keys to allow.
			  (max is 5000; default is 100)
		(Note: You may use /K=1 and /K=300 in a command line.)
	     /L=Z     - Last drive accessible to user.
			  (default is Z; C-Z is allowed)
	     /N=####  - set maximum number of notes to handle.
			  (max is 1,000; default is 50)
	     /P       - for professional mode, which allows the user to
			 delete a directory that has files in it.
			  (default is OFF)
	     /R=###   - ASCII code of 'retag' character to use (1-255).
			  (default is 9)
	     /T=###   - ASCII code of 'tag' character to use (1-255).
			  (default is 4)
	     /U=####  - set maximum length of menu command line.
			  (max is 10,000; default is 500)
	     /Z=#     - If # is 1, this makes ELFTREE unload completely
			  before running any program.
			  (default is 0, or off; /Z=1 turns it on)

	Be sure to press SAVE [F9] if you want these to be permanent.


			     █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			     █ Rearranging █
			     █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	If you can't get the items in the file information area of your
	screen in the order you want by sorting alone, ELFTREE has a
	feature just for you.

	For example, how can you
	 arrange these files:			Like this?

	      FIRST   .A			FIFTH   .E
	      SECOND  .B			FIRST   .A
	      THIRD   .C			SECOND  .B
	      FOURTH  .D			SIXTH   .F
	      FIFTH   .E			THIRD   .C
	      SIXTH   .F			FOURTH  .D

	With ELFTREE, this is no problem.  Just highlight the item that
	you want moved to a new location, and press the REARRANGE [F5]
	key.  You can now drag the item up or down to the new location
	by pressing the [] (up arrow) or [] (down arrow) keys.  When it's
	at the new location, press [ENTER] or [ESC] to quit rearranging.

	So, in the above example, I would highlight FIFTH.E, press
	[F5], press [] (up arrow) 4 times, press [ENTER], then highlight
	SIXTH.F, press [F5], press [] (up arrow) 2 times, and press
	[ENTER].

	Note: When you SORT [F2], all rearranging you did previously is
	      cleared, and the items are sorted as you wish.


			     █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			     █ Changing Disks █
			     █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can change to a different disk, or read the current
	directory, by pressing the Change Disk [F6] key.  Then, just
	tell ELFTREE what disk to use, press [ENTER] and wait a bit
	while ELFTREE does your bidding.

	If the drive specified is not available for some reason, you'll
	be told by ELFTREE when it returns.  If you are trying to change
	to drives A or B, and ELFTREE detects that the disk is not
	readable, it will ask if you want to format it.  If you do not
	(as this will destroy the data on the disk), simply tap [ENTER]
	to answer NO to this choice.

	You can change disks from either the file information screen
	or the directory tree display with [F6].  If you change from the
	tree display, ELFTREE will automatically get the tree display
	for the disk specified.  If you change from the file information
	screen, ELFTREE will bring up the files in the current directory
	on that disk.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Erasing Files or Directories █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can erase one or several items at a time in ELFTREE.  The
	erasures are not permanent, however, and the files can be
	recovered with a number of utility programs on the market.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ERASING ONE FILE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To erase one file, simply highlight it and press ERASE [F7].
	(Note: [Ctrl-K] can be used instead of [F7].)  A box with ERASE
	FILE(S)? will appear on your screen, to verify that you pressed
	the intended key.  Answer with a press of the [Y] key if this is
	what you meant.  If you did not mean to erase anything, press [N]
	or [ESC], and this will be cancelled.  Otherwise:

	If no files are tagged, the highlighted file will be erased.

	If one or more files are tagged, another box will appear, asking
	[H]ighlighted or [T]agged?

	If you have tagged files, you erase the highlighted file by
	answering [H].

	If the highlighted item is a directory, and no files are tagged,
	the message in the box will be REMOVE DIRECTORY? instead.  See
	the discussion further down for more on this.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ERASING SEVERAL FILES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To erase several files, simply 'tag' them and press the ERASE [F7]
	key.  The message ERASE FILE(S)? will appear, to check to see if
	this is what you wanto to do.  Answer [Y] to proceed, and then [T]
	to the prompt of (H)ilighted or (T)agged? to start erasing.

	While erasing, ELFTREE can be interrupted at any time by pressing
	a key (such as the [SPACEBAR]).  You can then resume by pressing
	[R], or press [ESC] to quit.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       REMOVING A DIRECTORY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you want to remove a directory, you first have to be sure that
	no items are left in it.  This means that there can be no files in
	in it, nor any nonempty child directories.  A child directory, if
	it exists, will appear to the right on the directory tree display.
	Here's a sample:

		.
		.
	       │
	       ├─ PARENT ─────┬─ CHILD1
	       │	      └─ CHILD2
		.
		.

	Here, PARENT cannot be removed, even if it has no files in it,
	unless CHILD1 and CHILD2 are empty.  If CHILD1 and CHILD2 are
	empty, they will be removed immediately and ELFTREE will attempt
	to remove PARENT.

	You can remove a directory from either the directory tree display
	or the file information area.  This gives you added convenience.

	As a further convenience, if you select a directory from the
	tree that no longer exists, ELFTREE will automatically adjust
	its tree for you.  This may happen, for example, if you remove
	a directory using DOS or some other program.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	       REMOVING A DIRECTORY (PART II)
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you would like ELFTREE to be capable of deleting the files in
	a directory for you automatically, instead of having to delete
	them yourself ahead of time, there is a way to do this.  Simply
	start ELFTREE like this:
	       ET /P

	When you start ELFTREE this way, it will warn you if files exist
	in a directory you want to delete, and it will ask if you want
	them erased for you at that time.  Press [N] if you DO NOT want
	them erased, otherwise press [Y] to erase them.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Return To Last Directory █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can quickly return to the directory you were in last by
	pressing the LAST DIRECTORY [F8] key.  To return to the
	directory you left, press [F8] again.

	This is handy when you need to compare two directories before
	copying or moving files from one to another, or if you simply
	need a quick way to return to where you came from.

	     Compare Directories
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Press [Ctrl-F8] to quickly tag files in the current directory
	that are also in the last directory you visited, but are not
	identical due to their having a different size, attributes, or
	date/time stamp.  Files which are not in the other directory
	will be 'retagged', which you can promote to 'tagged' with the
	Retag option of the Tag command.  If you wish to also process the
	previous directory, simply toggle back to it with [F8], then
	press [Ctrl-F8] again.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Save ELFTREE Settings █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	The changes you make to ELFTREE via the Customize [F4] key are
	not saved until you press the SAVE [F9] key.  This creates a
	file called ELFTREE.CFG in the directory where ELFTREE's menus
	and Find files are stored.  To use a configuration file with a
	different name, use the environment variable ETCONFIG to set
	it.  For example:   set ETCONFIG=MONO.CFG

	You can VIEW the configuration file with ELFTREE, and can make
	changes to it with an editor, if desired, although this is
	not recommended.

	ELFTREE.CFG currently stores such items as the colors to use,
	the number of lines to use on the screen, the number of lines you
	were using before invoking ELFTREE, the file search specification,
	the Where search specification, the name of your editor, any editor
	parameters you want, etc.  It does not store any of the DOS commands
	you used during a session; if you need ELFTREE to supply menus of
	commands, read about ELFTREE's DOS Gateway.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Go To Child Directory █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	If the currently highlighted item in the file information area
	is a directory, you can jump into it by pressing the CHILD
	DIRECTORY [Ctrl-RightArrow] key.  This will display the files in
	the highlighted directory for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     GO TO PARENT DIRECTORY
	     ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

	To quickly go to the parent of the directory you're currently
	in, press the PARENT [Ctrl-LeftArrow] key.  This will display the
	files from the parent directory for you, and the child directory
	you came from will be highlighted, if possible.

	If you are in the root directory when you press this key, you
	will be moved up to the next previous directory in the display,
	if there is one.

	Note: You can also get to the PARENT directory by pressing the
	      PERIOD (.) key.  This may seem more comfortable for those
	      of you who are familiar with the DOS command `CD..'.

			█ For EGA/VGA Displays █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	If your computer has an EGA or VGA display, you can see more
	information at a time, if you want to, by changing the number
	of lines ELFTREE will display on the screen for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     HOW TO ACTIVATE EGA/VGA MODES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

	To change the number of lines on the screen, just press [Ctrl-V]
	(hold down the Ctrl key and tap V).  If you are viewing a file,
	looking at your directories, or looking at the menu screen, you
	will switch to the next mode automatically.

	If you are currently looking at 25 lines per screen, then you'll
	be changed to 43 lines per screen.  If you are looking at 43
	lines currently, you'll be changed to 25 lines (if you have an
	EGA display), or 28 lines (if you have a VGA display).  If you
	have a VGA, your next press of [Ctrl-V] will put you into 50 line
	mode, and the next will put you back into 25 line mode.

	This is a handy way of getting more information (directories,
	files, browsed file) on your screen at a time.  You will find
	the directory tree display gives you almost twice as many
	branches in 43 line mode as in 25, and thus you get a better
	picture of your disk directory structure.


			█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			█ Change File Date and Time  █
			█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can change the date and time of one or many files with
	ELFTREE.  This is handy, for example, if you are working on
	a group of files in a project, and you want them all to have
	the same date and time.

	To change the date and time for one or more files, press
	CHANGE FILE DATE [Ctrl-T].  A box will appear on your screen,
	and you should enter the date and time desired where indicated.
	Be sure to follow the format supplied in the example.
	  For example:  1-1-90 12:00p     is a valid date

	If no files are tagged, the highlighted file's date and time
	will be changed to what you specified.

	If one or more files are tagged, another box will appear, asking
	[H]ighlighted or [T]agged?

	If you have tagged files, you change the highlighted file by
	answering [H].

	To change the date and time for the tagged files, just tap [T]
	and they will be processed.


			    █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			    █ Attributes █
			    █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can use ELFTREE to provide some additional security to your
	computer system by marking your important files as 'read-only',
	'hidden', or 'system'.  Also, ELFTREE will show you the current
	attributes of the items displayed in the last column.  Here is
	a brief description of what each symbol displayed there means:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    R  READ ONLY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you make a file 'read-only', you tell DOS that it is not
	allowed to make changes to the file.  This prevents others
	from erasing it easily.  Of course, you can use ELFTREE to
	erase a 'read-only' file, but the DOS Erase command will give
	you the message 'Access denied'.  As a rule, you should never
	make data files 'read-only', or else the programs that use
	them will probably not function correctly.  For example, if
	you make the file ELFTREE.CFG 'read-only', then you will not
	be able to save any configuration changes you make.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    HS HIDDEN/SYSTEM
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Marking a file as 'hidden' or 'system' keeps it from being shown
	by DOS when you give a DIR command (this is true for hidden
	directories as well).  This is a good way to keep casual snoops
	from seeing what you have on your disks.  If you have DOS 3.0
	or later, you can hide executable files (such as ELFTREE.EXE),
	yet still run them as if they weren't hidden!  Be careful of
	unhiding files that come with your software; the files might
	be part of a copy protection scheme, and unhiding them could
	prevent the program that uses them from working.

	NOTE: If you mark files as 'hidden', 'system', or 'read-only',
	      any disk defragmentation program you use will NOT
	      REORGANIZE THESE CLUSTERS.  If you want them reorganized,
	      you'll have to change their attributes, then run your
	      defragmentation program, then change them back.  Use the
	      ELFTREE Find feature to help you if the files are spread
	      across many directories or on many disks.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    A  ARCHIVED
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you make changes to a file, DOS sets the 'archive' attribute
	to denote that it needs to be backed up.  Backup programs that
	perform so-called 'incremental' backups look for files that have
	their 'archive' attribute set.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    D  DIRECTORY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This denotes that the item is a directory (as opposed to a file
	or disk volume label).  ELFTREE can hide directories as well as
	files, and can make directories 'read-only' also.  Hiding a
	directory is a quick way to hide the files it contains as well.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	    L  LABEL
	       ▀▀▀▀▀
	This denotes that the item is a disk volume label (name on the
	disk).  ELFTREE does not currently let you modify labels; this
	is included for your information only.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       NORMAL
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	A file with no attributes is called a NORMAL file.

			     Changing Attributes

	It's easy to change attributes with ELFTREE.  Simply select
	Attribute from the menu bar, and a box will pop up.  In this
	box will be the attributes you can change (Archive, Read-only,
	Hidden and System).  In front of all of these will be 'N/C',
	which means 'no change'.  Simply move the highlight bar up or
	down until you are at the attribute you want to change, and
	press the [SPACE BAR] once for 'YES', or once more for 'NO'.
	The 'yes' choice means 'give this item this attribute', and the
	'no' choice means 'remove this attribute from this item'.  If
	you pressed the space bar by accident, and don't want to change
	a particular attribute, pressing it once after 'NO' will return
	it to 'N/C'.

	Once you've selected the attributes you want, press [ENTER] and
	the tagged or highlighted items will be given the attributes
	you ordered.

	Note: You can also press [Y] to set a particular attribute, or
	      [N] to remove it.

		      █ Copying Files and Directories █
		      █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can copy one or many files (even entire directories) with
	ELFTREE, and with just a few keystrokes!  With a little practice,
	you'll swear off DOS forever for copying your files.

	You may be aware already that when you use DOS to copy a file,
	and already have a file with the same name on the disk, DOS will
	overwrite that file without any warning message.  This can cause
	you to lose data!!  ELFTREE will not overwrite files unless you
	specifically tell it to do so.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     HILIGHTED
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To copy the highlighted file only, simply select the COPY option
	on the menu bar, and select HILIGHTED from the submenu displayed.
	Next, find the directory you want to copy files to (or make a
	new one, if you need to), press [ENTER], and sit back and let
	ELFTREE copy it for you.

	To duplicate a file, just select the same directory for the
	destination.  ELFTREE will ask you to enter a name for it, and
	then proceed to copy it.  You can also duplicate a file by
	using the ["] key.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     TAGGED
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	After you have tagged the files you want to copy (by pressing
	the [SPACE BAR], or using the TAG menu command), you can COPY them
	by selecting COPY from the main menu, and Tagged from the submenu.
	Next, find the directory you want to copy files to (or make a
	new one, if you need to), press [ENTER], and sit back and let
	ELFTREE do all the work for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     DIRECTORIES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE will let you copy entire directories on the current
	disk to another disk.  To do this, you must be looking at the
	directory tree (press [D] to get it).  Tag the directories
	you want copied.  Here's how to tag them:
	     1. The [SPACE BAR] to tag an individual directory.
	     2. [T] - to tag the current directory and all of its
		      subdirectories.  (Hint: to tag all directories
		      on a disk, move to the root directory before 
		      pressing [T].)
	     3. [U] - to untag the current directory and all of its
		      subdirectories.
	Now, press [C], tell ELFTREE what disk to copy to, and sit
	back and let ELFTREE do it for you.

	As ELFTREE copies files, it checks to see if there's enough room
	on the disk to store the copy.  If there is not, and you are
	copying to A: or B:, ELFTREE will tell you there is not enough
	room to copy the file, and will let you Skip the file, put in a
	fresh disk and Continue, or Quit copying altogether.  If you put
	in a disk that has not been formatted, ELFTREE will give you an
	error message (such as "General Failure error on Drive A"), and
	then ask if you want to format the disk right now.  Just answer
	'Y' to format it, and ELFTREE will invoke the format program you
	specified to format the disk.  (If you have not supplied ELFTREE
	with the format program yet, then you will be requested to supply
	it at this time before proceeding to format.)  ELFTREE will not
	format a drive that is not A or B, so that you cannot use it to
	format a hard disk inadvertently.  After formatting, ELFTREE will
	resume copying the files.

	NOTE: When copying directories, ELFTREE will only copy those
	      files that match the current search specification (set
	      under the [F10] key) and attributes.  You may want to
	      change the specifications before copying.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     EMPTY FILES OR THOSE WITH SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	DOS will not copy files of zero length, and when it copies
	read-only files, the newly created files will not be read-only.
	As a convenience, ELFTREE will copy zero-length files for you
	and, if any of your files have special attributes set (hidden,
	read-only, etc.), they will be retained when copied.  (Some older
	programs use this as a form of copy protection.)

			   █ Directory Display █
			   █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE shows the directory structure on your disk in the shape
	of a tree.  This representation makes it easy for you to manage
	your directories with a minimum of bother.  Here is what you can
	do while you are looking at the display of your directories:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     SOME SPECIAL KEYS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

   [Ctrl-V] - If you have an EGA compatible adapter, this is used to
	       toggle 43 line mode and 25 line mode.  If you have a
	       VGA adapter, you have the additional benefit of a 28
	       and a 50 line mode.  These let you see more of the
	       tree at once.  If ELFTREE does not detect an EGA or
	       VGA, then this has no effect.

    [ENTER] - Selects the directory for display of files, then shows
	       the items in this directory.  If copying/moving files,
	       this selects the destination directory.

      [ESC] - Cancels current command, if any, and returns you to
	       the directory you left.  If that directory no longer
	       exists, you'll be put into a nearby directory.

    [SPACE] - Tags the current directory, moves to the next one.

       [F1] - Brings up this help information.

       [F6] - Change to the current directory on another drive.

       [F7] - Remove an empty directory and all empty subdirectories. If you
	       remove the current directory, you are put into the parent of
	       the one you removed.

       [F9] - Saves the current directory tree, temporarily overriding
	       the  /K=0   command-line switch.

      [F10] - Lets you quickly change what files you wish to be used
	       when you select move, copy, graft or [ENTER].

       [C] - Copy the tagged directories to another disk.

       [E] - Reveals hidden subdirectories of the highlighted directory.

[W] or [F] - Lets you search for a directory by name.  (DOS wildcards
	      can be used.)

       [G] - Graft the tagged directories onto another directory.

       [H] - Hide the tagged directories from view.

       [M] - Move the tagged directories to another disk.

       [N] - Make a new subdirectory of the one currently highlighted.

       [P] - Print the current directory tree.

       [S] - Rebuilds the directory tree for the current disk.

       [T] - Tag the highlighted directory and all subdirectories of it.

       [U] - Untag the highlighted directory and all subdirectories of it.


 [Alt-Key] - Search for a directory whose first letter matches 'Key'.
	      For example, [Alt-A] looks for the next one that starts
	      with 'A'.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     MOVING AROUND THE TREE
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To navigate around the tree display, these keys are available
	for your use:

       [->](cursor right): Highlights the next directory below the
			    current one in the column to the right.  If
			    none exist, then highlights the next one
			    in the same column as the current one.

       [<-](cursor left):  Highlights the next directory above the
			    current one in the column to the left of the
			    current column.

       [](cursor up):     Highlights the directory that precedes the
			    current one that is also in this column.  If
			    none exist, go one column to the left.

       [](cursor down):   Highlights the directory that follows the
			    current one that is also in this column.  If
			    none exist, go one column to the left.

	  [HOME] - Moves the cursor bar to the ROOT directory.

	   [END] - Moves the cursor bar to the last directory.

 [.] or [Ctrl-P] - Moves the cursor bar to the parent of the currently
		    highlighted directory.

	  [PGUP] - Moves the highlight to the first directory, if it's
		    not already there, otherwise backs up one screen
		    of the tree.

	  [PGDN] - Moves the highlight to the last directory on the screen,
		    if it's not already there, otherwise goes forward to
		    the next page of the display.

   [Plus] or [+] - Moves the cursor bar forward one directory, wrapping
		    around when it gets to the end.

  [Minus] or [-] - Moves the cursor bar backward one directory, wrapping
		    around when it gets to the beginning.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     TREE WIDTH
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE is sensitive to the length of the names you use for
	directories.  If none of them are longer than 8 characters,
	then ELFTREE will shrink the width of the tree so that you can
	see up to 7 columns at a time.  Otherwise, ELFTREE will only
	show up to 5 columns at a time.  If it is not possible to make
	all of the directory names to be shorter than 8 characters, you
	can still hide them from the display.  This will fool ELFTREE
	into thinking that none of them are longer than 8 characters.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       [F7]  ERASE DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Once you've deleted all of the items in a directory, you can
	delete the directory itself by just pressing the [F7] key.  If
	successful, the directory tree is updated to reflect the change.
	If this is not successful, it's because you still have files (or
	subdirectories) still in the directory.  Check the current file
	search specification (Use the Customize [F4] key while looking at
	the file information screen.), to see if you may have excluded
	certain files inadvertently when you erased.  If you still have
	subdirectories in the directory, the subdirectories will appear
	attached to the right of the directory you are trying to remove.
	You will have to delete the files in these 'child' directories
	before you can delete the 'parent' directory.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[C, M]  COPY/MOVE DIRECTORIES
		▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To copy or move one or more directories, just tag them (tap
	[SPACEBAR] to tag the currently highlighted directory) and tap [C]
	to copy them or [M] to move them.  Next, indicate what disk to
	copy or move them to, and let ELFTREE do it for you.  The files
	will be copied or moved to directories of exactly the same name
	on the disk you specified.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[E]  EXPOSE DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To expose one or more hidden child subdirectories of the currently
	highlighted directory, simply tap [R], and they will be exposed.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[F]  FIND DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To find a directory of a given name, you can search for it by
	pressing the [F] or [W] keys.  You will be prompted for the
	name to look for (wildcards can be used), then ELFTREE will
	move the cursor bar to directories that match the name you
	entered.  For example, if you want to find a directory called
	TREE, you could search for it by entering TR*.  ELFTREE would
	find TREE, of course, but it would also find TROUBLE, TRACK, and
	other directories you have that begin with TR.  After finding a
	directory for you, ELFTREE asks you if it should keep looking.
	If you have the one you want, press [ENTER] to select it, or
	[ESC] to return to the directory you started from.

	This is especially handy when looking at a tree display of a
	disk with many directories.  Using it will help you find the
	directory you want quickly.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[G]  GRAFT DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To graft one or more directories onto another, just tag them and
	tap [G].  Next, specify whether the directories should be copied
	or moved during the grafting process, and what disk to graft the
	directories onto (you can graft them onto any disk, including the
	current one).  You'll be shown a directory tree for this disk;
	highlight the directory you want to graft onto, and tap [ENTER] to
	select it and begin the grafting process.

	Here's an example.  Suppose I tag five directories to graft:

        C:\ ─────┬ DUMMY1 ──┬ A
                 │           ├─ B ───────┬ C
                 │           │           └ D
                 │           └─ E
                 ├─ DUMMY2 ──┬ 1
                 │           ├─ 2
                 │           └─ 3
                 └─ DUMMY3

	Next, I'll specify that I want these directories moved, that I want
	drive C, and I'll select DUMMY3 as the target directory.  This is
	what the tree will look like after the grafting is done:

        C:\ ─────┬─ DUMMY1 ──┬─ B
                 │           └─ E
                 ├─ DUMMY2 ──┬─ 2
                 │           └─ 3
                 └─ DUMMY3 ──┬─ DUMMY1 ──┬─ A
                             │           ├─ C
                             │           └─ D
                             └─ 1

	Notice that, even though DUMMY1 was not able to be removed (it
	has child directories of B and E), all of the files that it
	contained have been moved to the DUMMY1 child of DUMMY3 (assuming
	here that the filespec used was *.*).  Notice, too that directories
	C and D are now attached directly to DUMMY1, instead of being
	attached to B.

	You can see that grafting directories is a quick way to redo the
	directory structure of a disk.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[H]  HIDE DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To hide one or more directories, just tag them (tap [SPACEBAR]
	to tag the currently highlighted directory) and tap [H].  The
	tagged directories will be immediately removed from view (they
	still exist, but are just not shown).  To expose them again, move
	to their parent directory and tap [E].

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[N]  NEW DIRECTORY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To create a new subdirectory, just highlight the directory you
	want to serve as the 'parent' of the new directory and press [N].
	You will then be prompted for a name to give this 'child'.  Just
	tell ELFTREE what name to use, and let ELFTREE make it for you.
	If successful, ELFTREE will show you the updated tree with the
	new directory in it (if it fits on the screen).

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[P]  PRINT TREE
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To print the current directory tree, simply press [P] when you
	are looking at the tree, and it will be printed immediately.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	[S]  SCAN DISK
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Sometimes, such as after copying directories to another disk,
	or inserting a new floppy disk into your machine, you may need
	to rescan a disk.  Simply press [S] to start the scan, give it
	a few seconds to complete, and ELFTREE will display the new tree
	for you.

	If you have told ELFTREE to exclude files with certain attributes
	from the display, then any directories with these attributes
	will likewise be excluded when the disk is scanned.  ELFTREE
	is respecting your wish for privacy for these directories.

	ELFTREE will automatically initiate a scan of your disk if you
	ask to bring up the tree display while in a directory that was
	not created with ELFTREE.  This is a convenience for you, so
	that ELFTREE can give you up-to-date information on your disk.

	When ELFTREE builds a new tree by scanning the disk, it reveals
	all directories that were formerly hidden through use of [H], as
	described above.  Simply tag them and press [H] to hide them again.

			  █ Editing A File █
			  █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE comes with an editor (ELFEDIT.EXE) that provides the
	functions and simplicity you need.  With it, you can use block
	commands of copy, cut, paste, print, and save, and can convert
	a block to UPPER, Proper and lower cases instantly!  The editor
	has support for EGA/VGA displays, 11 keyboard macros for complex
	editing tasks, adjustable TAB stop settings and a host of other
	niceties.  Best of all, this editor is designed to work not just
	on one file, but as many as will fit into memory!  This lets you
	transfer your work from one file to many others with speed.  You
	will love it, we're sure.

	The editor can handle large files - even 500,000 bytes, and a line
	length of up to 20,000 bytes (the defaults are 65,500 and 1,000),
	but you can change this.  Here's an example of how to command it to
	use only 5,000 bytes per file, with a line length of 2,000 bytes:

	    ELFEDIT /M=5000 /L=2000

	Of course, you can use the editor from the DOS environment as
	well, and there is one distinct advantage to doing so, namely,
	you can specify which files to edit by using wildcards.  Here's
	how to load a number of .BAT and .PRG files at once, using only
	10000 bytes per file:

	    ELFEDIT  *.BAT  *.PRG  /m=10000

	The number of files ELFTREE can edit simultaneously is determined
	by the size of the editing buffer you select with the /M=#####
	command-line parameter.  If you specify an editing buffer of
	500000 bytes, then you'll only be able to edit one file.  If you
	choose a buffer size of 10000 bytes, you'll be able to edit dozens
	of files.  If you are not sure how much memory you have available,
	use ELFTREE's Space command to tell you.

	Here is a list of 12 features available to you in the editor:

	   1. Edit large/multiple files - depending on available memory.
	   2. FAST Block functions - Copy, Delete, Paste, Print, Save, Convert
		to UPPER/Proper/lower case, Print Mailing Labels.
	   3. FAST Column Block functions - Copy, Delete or Paste.
	   4. FAST Search and Replace - replace a phrase with another.  You
		can confirm each selection, change just one occurrence, or
		change all of them.  Also, you can count the number of times
		a word or phrase occurs in the file.
	   5. Merge File - Insert a file into the one currently being edited
		at the cursor position.
	   6. Instant Key Help - Tap [F1].
	   7. Delete/Copy/Paste single lines quickly.
	   8. FAST loading - the editor is small, so it loads very quickly,
		and any file you load displays immediately.
	   9. FAST Cursor Operations - Immediate Page Up, Page Down, etc., no
		matter how fast your cursor is.
	  10. Keyboard Macros - Create and store up to 11 macros for complex
		repetitive editing chores.
	  11. Customizablility - Customize the video mode (EGA/VGA support
		for 25, 28, 43 and 50 line modes), the colors, the tabstops,
		autosave, and backup of files.
	  12. Load a new file into a fresh buffer - if there is room - or
		jump to any file currently loaded.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       USING ANOTHER EDITOR
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Of course, it's okay if you have another editor you prefer.
	Before you can use your editor from within ELFTREE, you have to
	tell ELFTREE how to find it.  Press [F4] for the Customize options,
	and select [K] for Editor.  Enter the complete name (path included),
	then enter any parameters you want included with each invocation and
	tell ELFTREE whether it should give this editor lots of memory.

	Note: You may use ELFTREE's macro symbols among the parameters.

	(Be sure to save [F9] your configuration before leaving ELFTREE, so
	this information is remembered.)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       INVOKING THE EDITOR
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Once you tell ELFTREE the name of your editor, and what parameters
	you want to use with it (macro symbols can be used), it is available
	for use by selecting EDIT from the menu bar.  (Press [E], or
	highlight EDIT and press [ENTER].)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       EDITING MULTIPLE FILES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To edit multiple files, just 'tag' the files you wish to edit,
	and select the 'Tagged' submenu option under 'EDIT'.  ELFTREE
	will supply the names of the tagged files (up to 115 bytes,
	counting the spaces between the names) to the editor.

			    █ Finding Files █
			    █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	Ever wish you could work with files from dozens of directories and
	on several disks as if they were in one?  For example, you might
	want to locate all of those files relating to a particular project
	so you can copy them to a floppy, or transfer them to someone else
	across the network.  With ELFTREE, this is easy.  The Find menu
	selection makes this possible.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     DATE
	     ▀▀▀▀
	This feature lets you select a group of files to work with by
	entering a range of dates to search for.  To activate it, select
	Date from the Find submenu by tapping [D].  You'll then be asked
	to enter a pair of dates for ELFTREE to use when it builds the table
	of files for you - only files whose dates are between the ones you
	supplied will be included.  You will then be asked to enter a range
	of filespecs to look through, to indicate any special attributes
	you want to include, and to specify what disks to search for these
	files on.  ELFTREE will then grab all of the files matching these
	specifications and show them to you.

	Note: To find all files with a particular date, just type the same
	      date twice to make the pair.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     GLOBAL
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	This feature lets you select a group of files to work with by
	entering a group of filespecs to search for.  To activate it,
	select Global from the Find submenu by tapping [G].  You'll be
	asked to enter the filespecs to look for (feel free to use DOS
	wildcards here, or to put multiple specs on the line, separated
	by colons), and the file attributes you are interested in.  Next,
	tell ELFTREE what disks to look on - include network drives if you
	wish them to be searched as well.

	     For Example
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	For example, to find all files that begin with ELF, or have an
	extension of .ELF, you would tell ELFTREE to look for:
		   ELF*.*:*.ELF
	This would find ELFTREE.CHL, ELFIN.DOC, etc.

	As ELFTREE searches for the files, it tells you which directory
	and disk it is currently looking in.  When it completes the
	search, it displays the files that it found.  (If it didn't find
	any, you'll be returned to what you had previously.)

	     WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW?
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	From the display, you have access to ALL of ELFTREE's usual tools,
	so you can tag several files, copy or move them to a particular
	directory or disk, dupe them, edit them, erase them, print them,
	rename them, view them, etc.  Just use the tools provided to get
	the job done.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     LOAD
	     ▀▀▀▀
	If the highlighted file is a list of files that you had saved using
	the Save submenu option under Find, this command will load it
	immediately for you to use.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     MERGE
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	If the highlighted file is a list of files that you had saved using
	the Save submenu option under Find, and you have already loaded
	a list of files with [F]ind [L]oad, this command will merge the
	stored files with the one already loaded.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     PREVIOUS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When you select the Date, Global, or Text options for a search,
	ELFTREE automatically stores the file information it finds in a
	file called LASTFIND.ETG.  The Previous option loads this file
	for you, as a convenience.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     REFRESH
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	When working with a saved selection of files, the information
	in them may get stale with age, as files get moved, changed,
	erased, etc.  This option updates the information kept for each
	file currently loaded, and removes those that no longer exist
	where they once did.  If you wish to only refresh a few files,
	just tag them before selecting this tool.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     SAVE
	     ▀▀▀▀
	This saves the current file display for later use.  If you are
	working on a global list of files, the file will be saved, with
	the extension .ETG, either to the directory where ELFTREE is stored
	or in the directory specified by the environment variable ETFIND.
	If you are working on a local list of files, this will be saved,
	with an extension of .ETL, to the current directory.

	To make such a file of files auto-loading when ELFTREE starts up,
	simply use a filename of AUTOET.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     TEXT
	     ▀▀▀▀
	This feature lets you select a group of files to work with by
	entering text to look for inside the files.  To activate it, select
	Text from the Find submenu by tapping [T].  You'll be asked to
	enter the text to search for, and whether to look only through
	files in the current directory.

	If you specify the current directory, it will either search the
	highlighted file, if none are tagged, or all of the tagged files.
	When it finds a file that has this text, it 'retags' it, otherwise
	it 'untags' it.

	If you specify a broader search scope, you will be asked for a
	group of filespecs to search through, then the attributes that
	are acceptable (Directory has no meaning here).  Next, you'll be
	asked for the disks to search on.  By default, drives A and B are
	left out, but you can add them now if you wish them searched.
	When ELFTREE is done searching, it will display all of the files
	that have this text in it, if any.  If none were found, you will
	be returned to directory you were in before.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     ADJUSTING CAPACITY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can adjust the number of directories and files ELFTREE will use
	(1500 files, 50 directories is the default; up to 1000 directories
	and 2,978 files can be used) for the Find facility.  Here's an
	example of how to start up ELFTREE so that it uses 1000 files and
	100 directories:

	   ET /F=1000 /G=100

	Remember to Save [F9] ELFTREE's settings if you want this kept
	for the next time you start up ELFTREE.

		      █ Moving Files and Directories █
		      █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can move one or many files (even entire directories) with
	ELFTREE, and with far fewer keystrokes than DOS.  Also, since
	ELFTREE will move files to other disks (or other machines on a
	network), you have much more capability than DOS gives you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     HILIGHTED
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To move the highlighted file only, simply select the MOVE option
	on the menu bar, and select Hilighted from the submenu displayed.
	Next, find the directory you want to move files to (or make a
	new one, if you need to), press [ENTER], and sit back and let
	ELFTREE move it for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     TAGGED
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	After you have tagged the files you want to move (by pressing
	the [SPACE BAR], or using the TAG menu command), you can MOVE them
	by selecting MOVE from the main menu, and Tagged from the submenu.
	Next, find the directory you want to move files to (or make a
	new one, if you need to), press [ENTER], and sit back and let
	ELFTREE do all the work for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     DIRECTORIES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE will let you move entire directories on the current
	disk to another disk.  To do this, you must be looking at the
	directory tree (press [D] to get it).  Tag the directories
	you want moved.  Here's how to tag them:
	     1. The [SPACE BAR] to tag an individual directory.
	     2. [T] - to tag the current directory and all of its
		      subdirectories.  (Hint: to tag all directories
		      on a disk, move to the root directory before 
		      pressing [T].)
	     3. [U] - to untag the current directory and all of its
		      subdirectories.
	Now, press [C], tell ELFTREE what disk to move to, and sit
	back and let ELFTREE do it for you.

	If you elect to move the directories to another disk, then
	ELFTREE will copy the files and, if successful, will erase the
	originals.  As ELFTREE copies files, it checks to see if there's
	enough room on the disk to store the copy.  If there isn't, and
	you are copying to A: or B:, ELFTREE will tell you there is not
	enough room to copy the file, and will let you Skip the file, put
	in a fresh disk and Continue, or Quit copying altogether.  If you
	put in a disk that has not been formatted, ELFTREE will give you an
	error message (such as "General Failure error on Drive A"), and
	then ask if you want to format the disk right now.  Just answer
	'Y' to format it, and ELFTREE will invoke the format program you
	specified to format the disk.  (If you have not supplied ELFTREE
	with the format program yet, you will be requested to supply it
	at this time before proceeding to format.)  ELFTREE will not
	format a drive that is not A or B, so that you cannot use it to
	format a hard disk inadvertently.  After formatting, ELFTREE will
	resume copying the files.

	After moving the directories, ELFTREE attempts to remove any
	empty tagged directories from the tree for your convenience.

	NOTE: When moving directories, ELFTREE will only move those
	      files that match the current search specification (set
	      under the [F10] key) and attributes.  You may want to
	      change the specifications before moving.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     EMPTY FILES OR THOSE WITH SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	DOS will not copy files of zero length, and when it copies
	read-only files, the newly created files will not be read-only.
	As a convenience, ELFTREE will move zero-length files for you
	and, if any of your files have special attributes set (hidden,
	read-only, etc.), they will be retained when moved.  Some programs
	use hidden empty files as a form of copy protection.

			 █ Notes and Files █
			 █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	Ever need to attach a brief note to a file?  It might be a short
	description of what the file contains, of what still needs to be
	done with the file (as a reminder), or whatever.

	ELFTREE lets you attach a note to a file, to erase a note attached
	to a file, or to search for files whose notes contain a string
	that you are looking for.  (One caution, however.  You can only
	use the Note tool when working with one directory of files.)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ADD OR EDIT A NOTE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To add a note to the currently highlighted file, or edit one that
	has been attached to it just select Note Add from the main menu,
	and enter (or change) the note.  When you have completed it, tap
	[ENTER] to keep it.

	To attach notes to more than one file, just tag them first.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       ERASE A NOTE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To erase a note that is attached to the currently selected file, 
	just select Note Erase from the menu.  If you wish to remove notes
	from more than one file, or you are in Immediate mode, just tag
	the files whose notes are to be deleted beforehand.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       FIND A NOTE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Once you've added dozens of notes to your files, you may need help
	locating a particular note, and that's what Note Find is designed
	to do for you.  After selecting the tool, you'll be asked to enter
	a character string to look for.  Then, ELFTREE will look through
	all of the notes it has for the directory, and will tag those
	files where the note has the string you wanted.


		       █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
		       █ Printing With ELFTREE █
		       █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can print the contents of one or many files, the current
	listing of files in the file information area, or a picture of
	the directory tree display for the current disk with ELFTREE.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PRINT ONE FILE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To print one file, select PRINT from the main menu, and then
	HILIGHTED from the next menu, and ELFTREE will start printing.
	After the file is printed, ELFTREE will send a form feed to the
	printer for you.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PRINT SEVERAL FILES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To print more than one, just 'tag' the files you want to use,
	select PRINT from the main menu, and TAGGED from the submenu,
	and ELFTREE will start printing.  ELFTREE will send a form feed
	to the printer for you after each file is done.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       PRINT DIRECTORY LISTING
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To print the current directory listing, just select PRINT from
	the main menu, and LISTING from the submenu.  The listing will
	be sent to the printer in the order currently displayed, so you
	may want to Sort [F2] it and Rearrange [F5] it before printing.
	If files are tagged, ELFTREE will ask you if you want to include
	only the tagged files when it prints the listing.  If any of the
	files have a note attached, the note will appear as well.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       INTERRUPT PRINTING
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can interrupt ELFTREE while it is printing by tapping a key
	on your keyboard.  You then press [R] to resume, or [ESC] to quit.


		      █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
		      █ Renaming A File Or Directory █
		      █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	You can rename one or many files listed in the file information
	area with ELFTREE.  In addition, if you have DOS 3.X or later,
	you can rename directories with ELFTREE as well.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       RENAME ONE FILE
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To rename one file, just highlight it, select RENAME, (select
	HIGHLIGHTED from the submenu if files are tagged), enter the
	new name for it, and press [ENTER].  ELFTREE will not re-sort the
	file information area when you rename a file, but you can force
	it to do this by using the Sort [F2] key.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       RENAME SEVERAL FILES
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To rename more than one files , just 'tag' the ones you want to
	use, select RENAME from the main menu and TAGGED from the submenu
	and ELFTREE will feed them to you for renaming, one by one.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	       RENAME A DIRECTORY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	To rename a directory, just highlight it as you would a file
	(directories cannot be tagged), select RENAME, enter the new
	name for it, and press [ENTER].  ELFTREE will rearrange the
	directory tree display, if needed, so that the directories
	are still in alphabetical order.  This saves you the effort
	of rescanning the disk to rebuild the directory structure.


		      █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
		      █ Get Space Usage On A Disk █
		      █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE can tell you how much of a disk's space is in use, how
	much is available for use and how much space the disk is capable
	of holding.

	To check the space on a disk, just select SPACE from the main
	menu and give it the disk letter to use.

	The displayed information will look something like this:

			    5,879,808 left
			   15,341,568 used
			   21,221,376 total
				 (72% full)
				5,120 tagged
			      471,284 RAM free
			      655,360 RAM installed

	The first number tells you how much space remains on your disk.

	The second number tells you how many bytes have been used up on
	the disk by directories and files.

	The third number tells you the capacity of your disk, if nothing
	were stored on it.

	The percentage gives you an idea of how full your disk is.

	The fifth number tells you how much space the tagged files use
	on the chosen disk (or would if they were copied there).

	The last two numbers tell you how much memory is available, and how
	much is installed on your machine (EMS, etc. is not included).

	Together, these figures will help you stay on top of how much
	disk space your current applications are using on your disk.
	This will help you to decide when to remove them from the disk,
	or upgrade the capacity of the disks on your system.


			    █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			    █ Tagging Files █
			    █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE can perform many of its operations on either one file
	or several.  The mechanism by which you tell ELFTREE which files
	to use for your next operation is called TAGGING, and there are
	eight ways to do it.  After you have learned how to tag files,
	you are ready to discover the real power of ELFTREE.  By tagging
	files, you can instruct ELFTREE to work with a diverse group of
	them with just a couple of keystrokes.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	     TAG HIGHLIGHTED FILE ONLY
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If the currently highlighted item in the file information area
	is a file, you can `tag' it by pressing the [SPACE BAR].  When you
	do this, a `' symbol will appear to the left of the file name,
	and the totals for tagged files at the bottom will change to
	reflect your action.  To `untag' a file, just highlight it again
	and press the [SPACE BAR] again.  This will remove the `', and
	the totals will be changed accordingly.

	Note: Directories cannot be tagged.  When the highlighted item
	      is a directory and you press the [SPACE BAR], the highlight
	      moves to the first file after the directory, if possible.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

	If you need to tag or untag more than a few files, use the TAG
	menu selection to reveal some additional choices available to
	you.  Here is a description of each option on this submenu:

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     ALL
	     ▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will `tag' all files in the file
	information area.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     DIFF
	     ▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will `tag' those files that are not
	identical to the files in the last directory you were in.  You will
	be asked whether you want the files compared by bytes, which takes
	longer, or by properties, which just compares the sizes, date/time
	stamp, and attributes.  Answer [S] for the slower operation, or [F]
	for the faster one.  If you choose [S], you must tag the files you
	want compared if you want to compare more than one.

	After comparing each pair of files, the file in the current directory
	is either tagged, retagged, or untagged, according to whether the
	file in the other directory is different, does not exist, or is
	found to be identical, respectively.

	The keystroke sequence [Ctrl-F8] also activates this feature.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     GROUP
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will let you specify (using DOS
	wildcards * and ? if necessary) which files should be `tagged'.

	  Here are some examples:
	     *.EXE    - tags all files with an extension of `.EXE'
	     TR*.*    - tags all files that begin with `TR'
	     BA*.PAS  - tags all files that begin with `BA' and have
			an extension of `.PAS'
	     ???.*    - tags all files that have three letters in their
			filename and may or may not have an extension.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     HIGH
	     ▀▀▀▀
	This option will `tag' all of the files above the highlight bar,
	but will not tag the file highlighted.  This is handy, for
	example, when your files are sorted by date/time, and you want
	to tag all of the files that are before or after a certain date.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     INVERT
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will cause all `tagged' files to
	become `untagged', and all `untagged' files to be `tagged'.
	This is most useful when you want to tag all but a few of the
	files in the current directory.  In this scenario, you would
	`tag' the files you DON'T WANT, then select TAG/INVERT.  Presto!
	the files you do want are now `tagged', as desired.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     KEEP
	     ▀▀▀▀
	Select this option when you wish to restrict the file display to
	only those files that are currently tagged.  For example, you may
	wish to work with files relating to a particular project, and no
	others.  To do this, just tag the files you want kept for the
	display and select [T]ag [K]eep from the menu bar.  If you wish to
	save this setting to a file, choose [F]ind [S]ave to do so.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     LOW
	     ▀▀▀
	This option will `tag' all of the files below and including the
	highlight bar.  This is handy, for example, when your files are
	sorted by date/time, and you want to tag all of the files that
	are before or after a certain date.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     NOTES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will `tag' all files in the file
	information area that have a note attached to them.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     RETAG
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	After ELFTREE performs an operation on one or more files, it
	puts a small `o' in front of it where the `' was.  This lets
	you `tag' the files again, in case you want to perform an
	additional operation on them.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     UNTAG
	     ▀▀▀▀▀
	Selecting this submenu option will `untag' all files in the file
	information area.  The totals will be updated to reflect the
	changes made.


			    █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
			    █ Viewing A File █
			    █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█

	ELFTREE can show you the contents of any file on your disk, no
	matter how large it is.  This is handy when you need to take a
	peek inside a file, but your editor cannot handle it.  For
	example, you might want to look at the documents in your word
	processing directory to see which ones were memos to your boss.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     VIEWING MODES
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	ELFTREE is capable of displaying your file in one of 4 modes:

	   1. Normal - Filtering of carriage return/line feed pairs only.
	   2. Hex    - ASCII on one line, corresponding HEX on the next.
	   3. High Bit Off - Only use lower 7 bits of each character.
	   4. Printable Only - Just show characters that can be printed.

	To move from one mode to the next, press the [D] key.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     BRING UP EDITOR
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can bring up your editor to work on the file you're currently
	viewing by pressing [E].  This is handy if you see a need for
	changes in the file you're viewing.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     CUSTOMIZABLE TAB STOPS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	If you regularly browse text files, you'll appreciate a special
	feature of ELFTREE.  You can tell ELFTREE whether to expand
	tabs to selected tab stop settings or not and, if they are
	expanded, how far apart the tab stops should be (from 1 to 8).
	If you're a programmer, this makes it handier to view listings.

	These keys customize the tab settings:

	  [T]:	toggles tab expansion on/off.
	  [+]:  increases tab expansion by 1 (resets to 1 if at 8).
	  [-]:  decreases tab expansion by 1 (resets to 8 if at 1).

	  [->]: Advance by one character.  (Especially useful for
	  [<-]: Back up by one character.    marking a block of text)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     FOR EGA and VGA DISPLAYS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	While viewing a file, you can advance or go backward one line at
	a time (two if in hex display mode) or one screen at a time.  You
	can also change the display (if you have an EGA) to 43 line mode
	from 25 line mode or vice versa.  If you have a VGA, you have the
	additional benefit of 28 and 50 line modes.  (The keystroke
	[Ctrl-V] activates this change.  Hold down the [Ctrl] key and
	tap [V] once.)

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     AUTOMATIC SCROLLING
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can start ELFTREE scrolling either forward or backward in
	your file at varying speeds.  To do this, press either the up
	arrow or down arrow keys (this tells ELFTREE what direction to
	scroll), and then the speed (1 - 9) digit.  A speed of 1 is
	slowest, and 9 is the fastest.  You can adjust the speed either
	higher or lower during scrolling by pressing the digit correspon-
	ding to your desired setting.  To stop scrolling, press any key.
	(The key you press will be acted on, so if you touch [E], for
	example, you will stop scrolling and invoke the editor.

  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	     SEARCH FOR A STRING
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can tell ELFTREE to look for a string that you give it.  To
	do this, press either [W] or [F], just as you do when you are
	looking for a file or directory.  In the box that appears, type
	the string you wish to search for.  If ELFTREE does not find the
	string, you will be told, otherwise the string will appear near
	the top of the screen.

	To repeat the search, tap [A] (for Again).

	     POSITION SPOTTING
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can jump to a specific position in the file being viewed.
	Press 'P' (for POSITION) and type in the position you want to
	view from.  For example, if you're viewing a 24 million byte
	file, you can jump to the 2 millionth character by entering 2M,
	2000K, or 2000000.  The suffix 'M' is treated as 'Million' and
	the suffix 'K' is treated as 'Thousand'.  The byte in the upper
	left corner of the file viewing area is the byte at this position.

	     WORKING WITH BLOCKS
	     ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	While viewing a file, you may wish to:

		A. Print a portion of it
		B. Append a portion to another file
		C. Convert a portion to UPPER case
		D. Convert a portion to lower case
		E. Convert a portion to Proper case
		F. Replace a portion with spaces
		G. Replace all Null (hex 00) in a portion with spaces
		H. Replace all Control chars in a portion with spaces
		I. Strip the High bit from all characters in a portion

	With ELFTREE, this is easy, and requires no programming.  Simply
	move to the start of the block you wish to use, tap [B] to indicate
	that you want to define a Block (the block is marked at your current
	position in the file, which is the position of the first character
	in the file viewing area), then move to the end of the portion, and
	tap [B] again.  A menu of block commands will appear.  Just select
	the command you want, and it will be processed immediately, leaving
	you at the menu in case you wish to use another command as well, or
	to repeat a previous one. When you leave this menu, your block
	becomes unmarked.

	You can use a block as large as the entire file you are viewing.

	Note: Remember that the RightArrow and LeftArrow keys will move you
	      one position in the corresponding direction.  These are
	      especially handy for marking EXACTLY the block you need.

	       EXTENSION SENSITIVITY
	       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
	You can train ELFTREE to bring up your word processing viewer when
	the currently highlighted file has an extension of, say, DOC, or to
	load your spreadsheet viewer when the current file's extension is
	WQ1.  To do this, create an ASCII file with this layout:

	DBF C:\TREE\VIEWERS.EXE
	DOC C:\WP\WPVIEW.EXE -x		(parameters can be used)
	WQ1 C:\SS\VSHEET.EXE
	ZIP D:\PKZIP -v #f		(macro symbols can be used)

	Save this file under the name VIEWERS.ELF in the same directory
	that the other ELFTREE files are located.  The next time you load
	ELFTREE, it will be 'sensitized' to these extensions.  This means,
	for example, that when you highlight the file REPORT.DOC and press
	[V], 

	C:\MSWORD\WORD.COM REPORT.DOC

	Now, press [ENTER] and the program will be started for you.
	You can choose up to 40 extensions for ELFTREE to be aware of,
	and the extensions can use the DOS wildcards `*' and `?'.

	Notes: ELFTREE will allow you to have multiple VIEWERS.ELF files.
		When you enter a directory, ELFTREE looks for a VIEWERS.ELF
		file and, if it finds one, 'resensitizes' itself to what is
		in this new one.  When you then move on to another directory,
		ELFTREE stays sensitive to these extensions.

	       See the help on DOS Gateway for related information.
