==========================================================================

Line One Of Menu:
         The Active File is XX-XXX-XX.X 

   This is the file upon which all actions are taken.  If you read it will 
read this file, if you write, it will write to this file (if possible).
To change the active file use option 3, 4 or 5 (read on).

Line Two Of Menu:
   Well this is just a dashed line.

Line Three Thru Eleven:

   OPTION 1: MAKE ENTRY FOR TODAY 
		This willl put you in an "edit" mode and let you type
		whatever you want.  It will save it to the active 
		file name, so if the active file isn't todays date
		you should change it so it is (unless you want to 
		make an entry for another day).
		
		If you already have an entry for the active file/date
		you will be told .  You can still add another entry
		for the same date by adding an extension to distingiush
		between both files.

		Note: You can wrap around the end of the screen but only
		      about four times, then Amiga Dos runs out of space.
		      If you find you can't press return for the next line
		      just backspace a couple and then press return.

		Also: It does look much nicer if you press return before
		      you wrap around (but it doesn't matter).

		To exit form the "edit" mode just type 'done' ALONE and
		starting in the first column.    Like This
                                                     |

done



   OPTION 2: READ ENTRY
		This is very straight forard.  When you press 2 the
		computer will load and display the active file. So
		you need to set the active file to the correct date
		and extension (if there is one) first, then read the
		file.  If it doesn't exist you will be notified.

   OPTION 3: SET YOUR OWN DATE
		This will let you set the active file date.  This is what
		what you need to use first to read old files.
		Just hit 3 and follow the prompts, pretty easy.

   OPTION 4: RESET DATE TO SYSTEM DATE
		This just takes the date from your computer, so if you
		have a battery backed up clock (and it is set), this
		will reset to today's date.

   OPTION 5: ADD FILE EXTENSION
		This option allows you to make more than one entry 
		a day.  So if you have already made an entry today just 
		add an extension to make another.  

		NOTE: While ANY character is valid, it is reccomended that
		      you you 1, 2, 3.. so you can keep some type of
		      idea which entry came first.

   OPTION 6: DIRECTORY OF ENTRIES
		This will simply get a directory of the entries you have
		made.  This is included so you can see what dates have 
		extensions so you will know what to set the active file
		to so you can read it.

   OPTION 7: INSTRUCTIONS
		I see you already know how to use this option.

   OPTION 8: HELP
		Simalar to option 7.

   OPTION 9: INFO
		General Info

   OPTION 0: QUIT
		Terminate program.  Everyting you do is automaticly
		saved, so this feature won't lose any of your data.
