GENERAL, NO-FRILLS DESCRIPTION:
-------------------------------
   Select is a program.

SLIGHTLY MORE SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION:
-----------------------------------
   Select is a program that you WILL make a part of your startup-sequence.
 It allows you to choose from 1 to 15 different startup sequences with the
 simple, no-brain click of a mouse button.  Please note that you MUST have,
 in the current C directory, the command 'Execute,' spelled EXACTLY as shown
 here.  If you don't, things will get VERY ugly.

   Select refuses to load & run some commands properly.  I think this is
 because of those ->AWFUL<- BPTRs.  Maybe you can fix it.  Otherwise, select
 seems to answer the prayers of anyone with more than one (1) startup
 sequence.

GENERAL, NO-FRILLS OPERATION:
-----------------------------
    Type "Select {file_1} [ {file_2} ... {file_15} ]"

SOMEWHAT USEFUL OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
---------------------------------------
 For example:

   Select WorkBench RamDisk Modula-2 NotePad

   Where Workbench, RamDisk, Modula-2, and NotePad are the names of batch
 files. (i.e. Those executed with CLI's EXECUTE command, like
 s/startup-sequence)

HORRIBLY COMPLEX AND GENERALLY COMPLICATED OPERATION:
-----------------------------------------------------
    You may, how you computer people say?, 'recursively' use Select in a
 file that is called by Select.  It is recommended that you put the Select
 command in your startup-sequence, with all subordinate startup sequences
 in the 's' directory.  Use filenames of less than 25 characters or it
 WON'T WORK, and will hate you for the rest of the current clock cycle.

 Note: ANY 'EXECUTE'able file that is placed in the 's' directory will
       be immediately accessible just by typing 'EXECUTE {filename}'



FINALLY!
--------
  'Dneishe' is a perversion of 'Nice,' but must be meticulously pronounced
 with the teeth clenched and a manical grin.  Be sure to include the
 drawn-out ssshhhhzzz and the end.  Practice it, perfect it.
