			 Printer Form Selection   
     In order to generate letters or other documents, or labels or envelopes,
you must select a "Printer Form".  For details about what constitutes a 
printer form and how to define one, see Chapter 7 of the manual.
     At this point, you must select the printer form you want to use.  
A standard printer form for single unit letters, documents or envelopes
is supplied by the system.  To define a new printer form, select the 
"Define Printer Form" option of the LEVERAGE system menu.















		         Mail Target Selection
     You may select any combination of the following dispositions for the 
forms to be generated.  Hit ESCape when you have finished selecting targets.

1.   CRT.  Forms will be printed on this CRT as they are generated.    

2.   Printer.  Forms will be printed on the hardcopy unit as it they
     are generated.

3.   File.  You will be asked to specify a file name, and the forms
     will be put in that file as they are generated.  You will have
     the option of starting a new file or adding to an existing file.
     Thus, you can collect output of the same type of printer form in     
     a single file for subsequent printing.  

     CRT output only is initially enabled as a list target.  The targets
can be enabled and disabled in a toggle-switch fashion by selecting the
appropriate menu option.  Whether a target is currently activated is 
indicated after the menu option.


=> Hit ESCape when you are finished selecting list targets <=

			   Output File Name
     You have chosen to put the output of the mail program into a file.
You must specify here the name of that file.  You will then be given the
opportunity to specify whether you want to start a new file or add to
an existing file.   

     Type the name of the output file here followed by Return; or hit
ESCape to escape.















			 Output FIle Disposition
     You have chosen to put the output from the mail program into a 
file.  If you want to collect output of one printer form into a single
file, then you should select the "Append" option.  Otherwise, a new
file will be created and any data in any file with the same name will
be lost.

















                             The Input File
     Before you run this program, you must have created a file containing 
a letter, document or address specification.  Type the name of this file 
followed by Return, or hit ESC to escape.  If the file is on a disk other
than the data base disk, then you must specify that disk in the file name.
     The following "word processing" commands may be used in the input file.
For details on how to construct an input file and sample input files, see  
chapter 4.

			Recipient Selection
     The mail program works by merging the information from the data base
into the input file you specified.  You must specify here how the data    
base members to be merged will be selected.  If the recipients share
some common characteristics, you can specify a subset.  If you want to 
have the subset sorted, then you should use the list program to produce 
a sort image.  
       Option         |                     Effect
----------------------|------------------------------------------------
Select by Individual  |  You will be asked to input the member ID for each
  Member ID           |     recipient.  Then you will be shown a data display
		      |     screen for each member with that member ID.  If
		      |     you want to send to the member displayed, hit 'y';
		      |     else hit 'n'.  Hit ESCape when you are finished.
Select by Subset      |  You will be shown a menu of all subsets that have
		      |     been defined and asked which subset to send to. 
Select by Sort Image  |  You will be asked to input the name of a sort image
		      |     file (generated by the list program) from which to
		      |     generate mail recipients.
Send to Recipients    |  Mail will be generated to the same recipients as the
  of Previous Run     |     last mail run.  Use, for example, to address
                      |     envelopes to go with letters.  [This option
		      |     is only available after the first mail run].
                      Member ID for Mail Recipients
     In order to send mail to a data base member, you must type in its 
"Member ID".  The Member ID is comprised of the first four letters of the 
first field on the data display screen, or of the first initial and first 
three letters of the last name if the first field is a person's name.  
After you enter the Member ID, you will be shown a data display screen of 
the first member with that ID; or you will be told that there are no members 
with that ID.  If the member displayed is the one you want to send to, then
type 'y'; else type 'n' to see other members with the same member ID.

     It makes no difference whether you type the characters in upper or
lower case.  After you type in the Member ID, hit RETURN to enter it;
or hit ESCape to abort.  










			  Recipient Selection
     If the member displayed is the one to which you wish to send mail,
then hit 'y'; else hit 'n' and you will be shown any other members with
the same member ID.  



















			   Sort Image File
     If you wish to generate mail in sorted order, then you must first
sort the recipients with the list program, specifying a "sort image"
file for a target.  If you have already generated a sort image file,
then you should type the name of that file here, followed by Return.
     The most common reason for sorting mail recipients is to take advantage
of reduced postal rates for mail sorted by zip code.  You might also want
to sort the recipients in order to maintain a more orderly output, it is
much easier to locate a particular member if the recipients are in some
sort of order.













			    Subset Selection
     You have chosen to send mail to a subset of data base members.  You
must select the subset you wish to send to from the subsets displayed
in the menu.  To define a new subset, select the "Define Subset" option
of the LEVERAGE system menu.
