For new features added since Composure 1.0, please see WHATSNEW.@CP. Composure is written entirely in WordPerfect's advanced macro programming language. All of the files needed to run the program are contained in a self-extracting format created using Yoshi's LHA. Since Composure is compatible only with WordPerfect 5.1 (versions 6/29/90 or later), the assumption is made that users will have installed a hard disk to speed up operation of WordPerfect. ================================================== The following is the recommended installation procedure: 1. For the one-month trial period at least, you may wish to make a separate keyboard/macro directory for Composure and log onto it: c:\ ENTER (or any other drive) md cpsure ENTER cd cpsure ENTER Alternatively, you can install Composure in your regular keyboard/macro directory. (If you decide to remove it later, you can use wildcards to delete the files: CP*.*.) 2. From the above directory, copy the .EXE file from your floppy disk drive to your hard drive: copy a:\*.exe ENTER (or b: as appropriate) 3. Extract the files: cpsure??.exe ENTER (?? is the release number) 4. Load WordPerfect according to your usual practice. 5. Press Shift-F1, 6, 2 and change the path to your keyboards and macros to C:\CPSURE. (If you have opted to install Composure into your regular keyboard/macro directory, skip this step.) 6. Press 5. If the path to your style files is different from what is now your keyboard/macro directory path, make note of the paths to both for future reference. 7. Cursor down a line and change your library filename to CPSURE.STY. (Alternatively, you can skip this step, but Composure will then have to pause to make a few necessary style files each time you create a file. If you use styles regularly and have tailored your default library style file for special appli- cations, try leaving things as they are for the trial period until you familiarize yourself with how the Composure style platform works. You can also add the two styles in CPSURE.STY to your default library style file, but for the greatest flexibility, speed, and overall reduction of file sizes, using CPSURE.STY as the default is recommended.) 8. Press F7 to return to your normal editing screen, then press F5, the equal sign (=), and the path to your keyboard/macro directory. Press ENTER twice. 9. Press F5 and type CP*.STY, ENTER. You should see a listing of Composure's eleven style files. If your style files are NOT in a different directory from the keyboard/macro files (refer to step 6 above), press F7. Otherwise, do the following: ALT-F5 to tag all files Select 3, move the files to your Styles directory F7 10. If you want to be able to use Composure's compose character lookup feature (for all characters in WordPerfect's eleven character sets), follow the same steps above to copy the .TXT files to your working directory: F5, type CP*.TXT, ENTER Select 3, move the files to your working directory F7 Composure's registration form and product descrip- tion files also end in .TXT: CPREGIS.TXT (includes attractive discount packages) and CPRODUCT.TXT. 11. If the above steps have been completed successfully, press F5, n (or =) to name search for CP*.EXE, and delete the file. 12. Create an ALT-key macro to call Composure (we suggest ALT-L, since Composure's keyboards use L for the language module and main menu access, but use any key you like): CTRL-F10 (to start recording macro) ALT-L Overwrite existing macro if desired (or start over) Enter description if desired ALT-F10 (to invoke a macro) cpsure (the name of Composure's main macro) ENTER CTRL-F10 (to stop recording the macro) Composure is now installed. Press the ALT-key macro you just defined, then @ to read the on-line welcome and instructions.
