			Printer Form Definition
     In order to use the mail system, you must first define a printer form
for each type of letter, envelope and label form you wish to use.  You
will only have to define the printer form once, and it will be available
anytime you use the mail system.  You will be asked to supply a description 
of each printer form, and these descriptions will be available in a menu 
when the mail system is used.

     In general, the printer form definition describes precisely the type of 
form being used, its dimensions, print spacing, and margins (for letter forms).
At this level, you may add a new printer form, review and/or revise an existing
form or delete a form.











			Printer Form Description
     You must supply a description for each new printer form you define.
This description will become part of a menu of printer forms available
anytime you use the mail system.  Each format should have a different
which identifies it effectively.  For example, if you are defining 
one across, one inch high lables, you could describe the printer for
as "One-Across One Inch High Labels".
     Type the printer form description here followed by Return; or hit
ESCape to escape.














			Printer Form to Review/Revise
     You have chose to review and/or revise an existing printer form.  You
must select the printer form you wish to review from the menu of printer forms.
The descriptions are those provided when the forms were defined.  



















		     Changing Printer Form Descriptions
     You have chosen to review/revise a printer form which has already been
defined.  A description was provided for the format when it was defined--
the description will be used in the mail program as an option in a menu 
to identify this printer form.  If you wish to change the description which
was previously supplied, say yes and you will be given the opportunity to
provide a new printer form description.  If you are happy with the description
as it stands, then say no.














 
			New Printer Form Description 
     You have chosen to provide a new description for this printer form.
The description will be used as an option in a menu in the mail program
to identify this format.  Type the new description followed by a Return;
or hit ESCapte if you do not wish to enter a new description.


















			Printer Form Deletion
     If you no longer need a printer form, or if you have already defined
the maximum number of formats and need room for another (an unlikely
event), you may delete one by merely selecting the appropriate option from
the menu and confirming your selection. 


















			  Printer Form Definition
     At this point, you must specify the features of the printer form being
defined.  Some of the features are not relevant to certain format types--
the margins are not relevant to envelopes, for instance.  You must define
only those features which are relevant to the format being defined.
     It may be helpful occasionally to display the current printer form
definition in order to determine which features need to be defined.
     When you are finished defining the printer form, be sure to save it
(with the bottom option).

			Discard Input to Printer Form 
     You have added a new printer form or made changes to an existing one  
without having saved your input.  After making changes or addition which
you would like to keep, you should select the "Save Printer Form Definition"
option (at the bottom of the menu) before escaping from this level.  If 
you made changes or additions which you would like to discard, then you 
should say so here and they will not be saved; otherwise you should 
specify that the input should be saved, and , in the future, be sure
to save your work before you escape.














                             Left Margin
     The left margin need only be defined for letter formats.  The entire
letter will be printed with the left margin you specify, regardless of 
whether or not the text is being formatted.  You must specify the margin
in TENTH's of an inch--an inch and a half margin, for instance, would be
input as 15.  (Measuring the margins in absolute terms instead of a number
of spaces guarantees consistency when using different pitches).

     Enter the Left Margin here followed by Return; or use ESC to escape.














                         Right Margin
     The right margin need only be defined for letter formats, and it
is only used when the formatting option is enabled with the {format} 
command.  When formatting is enabled, each line will be filled to the 
right margin you specify, and words sticking off the end of a line will 
be hyphenated if they contain the '|' character.

     Enter the margin you desire followed by Return, or use ESC to
escape.









						




		        Continuous Forms Option
     If the forms you are defining are connected to each other so that
they can run through the printer without the need to reload after each
form, then you should specify the Continuous Forms option.  All labels
are continuous forms [by default], as is conventional pinfeed computer
paper.  Envelopes and letterhead paper are also available which are
temporarily attached to pinfeed paper so that they can be run through
printers.  Use of such continuous forms is recommended because throughput
can be increased significantly.

     If you select continuous forms, you will be asked to specify the 
size of each form.











                             Page Size 
     If you are using continuous paper or continuous envelopes or labels,
you must specify the length of each page or envelope.  You should measure
the distance between the top edge of one form and the top of the one 
beneath it.  This measurement should be entered here in NUMBER of LINES.
If you are using a standard printer with 6 lines to the inch, you should
multiply the measurement by 6.  So, if you are using 11 inch long paper,
you should enter 66.

    Enter the page size you desire followed by return, or hit ESC to escape.













			  Number of Labels Across
     You must enter how many labels there are across the page.  If there
is more than one label across, then you will be asked to specify the 
distance between adjacent labels.  Forms with labels more than one
across will speed throughput when a "line printer" is being used instead
of a letter quality printer.

     Enter the number of labels across and then hit Return; or hit ESCape
to escape.













 
	          Horizontal Distance Between Adjacent Labels
     This number represents the number of character spaces between the 
LEFT edge of one label and the LEFT edge of the next.  You should first 
measure the distance between the left edge of one label and the left edge 
of an adjacent label in INCHES.  Then, multiply this number by the number 
of CHARACTERS PER INCH that your printer is set for.  (Standard print
spacing is 10 characters per inch; some printers allow for other spacings,  
particularly 12 characters per inch).   The result is the Horizontal
Distance Between Adjacent Labels.
     As an example, assume you are using labels which are 2 inches wide
with a gap of .1 inch between labels with a printer set at 10 characters
per inch.  The distance between the left edge of one label and the left
edge of the next one is 2.1 inches.  You should multiply this by the print
spacing (10 characters per inch) and enter the number 21 as the Horizontal
Distance Between Adjacent Labels.








		    Vertical Distance Between Labels
     You should measure the distance between the top edge of one label and
the top edge of the label beneath it.  [DO NOT measure the distance between 
the bottom edge of one label and the top edge of the next one].  You should
enter the measurement here expressed in NUMBER of LINES.  If you are using
a standard printer with 6 lines to an inch, then you should multiply the
number of inches by 6.  Thus, for 1 inch high labels, you should enter 6.
Hit Return after entry, or hit ESCape to escape.















			 Default Salutation
     The default salutation is used when the "{salutation}" command is
invoked in letter formatting and the name for a recipient is unavailable
This can occur when, for instance, the name of a contact is not known for 
a particular company when the company is initially enetered.  You may
select any of the default salutations offered in the menu, or you may
define one of you own.  You will probably want to define your own default
salutation when you are sending letters to a well defined group of 
recipients--e.g. "Dear Cromemco Dealer".














			Default Salutation
     You have chosen to define your own default salutation, and you should
enter that salutation here.  You might want to specify the group of recip-
ients to which the letter is being sent (e.g. "Dear Cromemco Dealer", or
"Dear Independent Voter"), or you might want to say something like 
"Dear Friend".

     Enter your default salutation followed by Return; or hit ESCape to 
escape.
