               About The Program                                         ||
===========================================================================
This program is UNIQUE among shareware programs, in that it is GRAPHICAL   
USER INTERFACE (GUI) - based, Very intuitive,  easy to use, fun and useful.
IDEALIST is an Information Manager.  It is an electronic version of all
those scraps of paper, envelopes and other tree-products we typically jot  
down notes on and then we can never find them.  IDEALIST will end all that,
and give you a fun, useful reason to use your computer.  
===========================================================================
||              Who should use this program?                             ||
===========================================================================
IDEALIST is specifically designed for two types of users:   1) the person  
who has avoided using or reluctantly uses the computer because it is       
intimidating dealing with that ugly  DOS prompt "C:\" (ok, fine, now what  
do I do?), and 2) the  harried businessperson or power user who needs a    
convenient way to store and retrieve information but does not want to spend
hours deciphering monstrous manuals or figuring out arcane database
languages.
===========================================================================
||               What can you do with it?                                ||
