R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 1
T:Function 1, "Format a Program Disk" creates a new system disk.  You
T:will be asked for the generic name and disk identifier.  These items
T:are used to make an empty file which serves as the disk's name.
T:
T:A new disk has nothing recorded on it.  In order to keep a record of
T:where it is reading or writing information on the disk, the disk
T:operating system needs to have the entire disk prerecorded in a
T:special pattern.  When you select function 1, the computer
T:records this pattern, then writes a directory, a copy of the
T:operating system and certain files which are needed for all system disks.
T:
T:NOTE: FORMATTING A DISK ERASES ALL INFORMATION ALREADY ON THE DISK.

R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 3
T:Function 3, "Select Default Disk and User", is used to change where your
T:data is looked for, to change what data you are "logged into".
T:
T:Programs and data files normally may reside within any disk drive on the
T:system.  You therefore specify upon which drive the computer should look
T:for a program or data file.  It is necessary for the system to have a disk
T:which it considers "home base", a place to go whenever it is not told to do
T:otherwise.  This disk is the default disk.
T:
T:Every disk's Volume Table of Contents ("directory") may be subdivided
T:into sixteen separate and distinct sub-directories, or User Areas.  This
T:logical division of a directory allows private file space on public disks.
T:This function allows you to switch into another User Area.

R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 4
T:Function 4, "Copy a file", allows you to copy one or more files,
T:either to the same disk using a new file name, or to a different
T:disk.
T:
T:Here are some timesaving ways to use Function 4 to copy multiple
T:files.  Look at the names of the files you need to copy, displayed
T:in the bottom third of the menu screen.  Each item has two parts
T:separated by a period, such as  "FILENAME.TYP". The part before
T:the period is called the name; the part after the period is the
T:type.  If the type is the same for most of the files you wish to  
T:copy, AND there are no undesired files with the same type, you can
T:copy them all at once by typing "*.TYP". That is type an asterisk
T:then a period then the desired type then "Return", "Enter" or "CR".
T:
T:By typing "FILENAME.*" you can copy all files beginning with "FILENAME".

R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 5
T:Function 5, "Copy an entire disk", is the fastest way to replicate
T:("back-up") important disks.  It only works when both the disk
T:being copied ("source") and the disk being created ("destination")
T:have been formatted the same.  If your computer system supports
T:more than one disk density or format, make sure the two diskettes
T:are similar.  If the formats are not the same, use the "Copy a file"
T:function instead.
T:
T:NOTE: THE NEW COPY WILL HAVE ALL PREVIOUS FILES ERASED.

R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 6
T:Function 6, "Copy a Systems Area only", transfers the operating
T:system portion of a diskette to another diskette.  This is needed
T:if the receiving disk is going to be a "System", or "Program", disk.
T:Whenever you receive a program disk from a software supplier, there
T:is not yet a copy of your operating system, specifiying what's in
T:your computer.  Use this function to write it there.
T:
T:This does not affect any data files or programs.  The file area
T:of a disk is not diminished by the presence or absence of an
T:operating system because the System Area is allocated when the
T:disk is formatted.

R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 7
T:Function 7, "Disk Recovery and Repair", allows a programmer to
T:modify data stored on your disk.  This capability is both very
T:useful and extremely hazardous.  If you do not know what an FCB
T:looks like, and if you don't know what a Group-Cluster is, save
T:yourself some grief and stay away from this function.
T:
T:The DUMP22 program invoked by this function contains a list of its
T:commands.  If you "EDIT" a sector, you specify the address within
T:the sector where you want to begin making changes by entering a four-
T:digit address and then press "RETURN".  The current contents of that
T:address are displayed, and you may either enter a hexadecimal value
T:to replace the current value, you may press "RETURN" to leave it alone,
T:or you may enter a period (".") followed by "RETURN" to end substitution.
T:
T:To stop editing a sector, enter the command "WRITE" to update the disk
T:or "STOP" to leave the disk unaffected.

R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 8
T:Function 8, "Write-Protect File(s)", writes special information
T:about the files you specify, telling the operating system that
T:those files are not to be erased or written.  This can prevent
T:inadvertant erasure of valuable data, but it also prevents you
T:from making changes to the write-protected files.  Should you need
T:to remove or modify protected files, use the "Write-Enable"
T:function on them first.
