                     SIDEKICK version 1.00A

This  file contains descriptions of Sidekick features which  were
added  after the User's Handbook went to press.



                      NEW NOTEPAD COMMANDS

The  Notepad  has two new commands,  not included in the  printed
documentation. These are:

   Ctrl-Q-O    Jump  to  the end of the file and insert time  and
               date. This works the same way as .LOG files.

   Ctrl-Q-G    Graphics  on/off.  Normally,  the editor  displays
               only  the first 128  ASCII  characters,  excluding
               most  of the semi-graphics and foreign characters.
               This  allows  you to read text files  produced  by
               editors  which use the 8th bit of  the  characters
               (like WordStar).
                  Pressing   Ctrl-Q-G   allows  all   256   ASCII
               characters  to be shown,  and you can use the PC's
               facility  to  hold down Alt and  enter  the  ASCII
               value on the numeric keypad.  You have 1.5 seconds
               to do that before Sidekick's Main Selection Window
               pops up.



                          THE CALENDAR

When  printing appointments from the calendar,  Sidekick makes  a 
form feed after each day. If you would like more than one day per 
page,  you can set your printer's PAGE LENGTH to a whole fraction 
shorter than a full page. 
   If  you use paper with 66 lines,  you could set the  printer's 
page length to 33 lines,  and you will get two days per page;  or 
to  22 lines,  and you will get 3 days per page.  A full day will 
require 28 lines, but if you never have that many appointments in 
a day, you can use a smaller page length.
   Please consult your printer's manual or your in-house  systems 
specialist  for  information  on how to set  the  printer's  page 
length.



                  REMOVING SIDEKICK FROM MEMORY

   MUST BE USED WITH EXTREME CAUTION, AND ONLY BY PERSONS WITH 
                       COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE

In rare cases it can be desirable to remove Sidekick from  memory 
to  create  more  room for other programs without  resetting  the 
computer.

This must only be done if there are NO OTHER RESIDENT PROGRAMS in 
memory AFTER Sidekick. Other resident programs can be for example 
PRINT, in some cases MODE, a NETWORK program, or others. 

This also means that you must ONLY use this command when you have 
activated Sidekick from the DOS;  not when you are inside another 
program,  because  this  program  will  reside  in  memory  AFTER 
Sidekick.

If  you are CERTAIN that Sidekick is the last program in  memory, 
you  can use the hidden command Ctrl-Home Ctrl-End when the  Main 
Selection Window is on the screen. This releases Sidekick thereby 
freeing the memory it occupies.
