Functions:

    ESC - Return to DOS:    Terminates  FORM MASTER program.   Two consecutive
          pushes of this key are required.   If the current form may have been
          modified but not saved, you will be reminded of this after the first
          push of ESC.   If you push ESC once  by accident,  hit any other key
          except ESC to cancel and resume with the program.

    F1  - Help:  Displays on-screen help.

    F2  - Create Form:   Starts form editor with a blank screen so a new  form
          can be built.  More help is available in the form editor by pressing
          F1.   Use F3 instead of this key if  you have already created a form
          and you want to do more editing.

    F3  - Edit Form:   Starts the form editor with the current form in memory.
          A form must have been previously loaded using F5  or F7,  or created
          using F2.  More help is available in the form editor by pressing F1.

    F4  - Execute Form:   Executes the current form you have created or loaded
          from  disk.   Executing a form allows you to  fill  in fields on the
          form and/or print the form.   In addition, fields on the form may be
          loaded from disk,  or saved to disk.   More help is available in the
          form executor by pressing F1.

    F5  - Load Form from Disk:   Retrieves a form from disk and places  it  in
          memory so it may be edited (F3),  executed (F4),  or exported  (F8).
          The form must have been previously saved on disk using F6.  The name
          of the file containing the form must be  listed in the "File"  field
          on the menu.

    F6  - Save/Update Form to Disk:  Writes the current form in memory to disk
          to the file listed in the "File"  field on the menu.  A second  push
          of  F6  will be required to create the  file  or overwrite the file,
          whichever  applies.    You  should make sure that all  the  "Lines",
          "Cols",  "Input Field Attributes",  and Options fields are filled in
          properly prior to executing this function.

    F7  - Import Form from Edit File:   Reads the  file  listed in  the "File"
          field  on the menu and puts it in memory  in  a  form format.   This
          means  you can create a form using an editor/word processor and  use
          it with this program.   Note that this form will be black  and white
          (normal  video)   with  no  special  attributes  or  special   print
          functions.  You will not be able to enter information onto this form
          with the form executor until you modify it with the form editor.  It
          is  suggested that after F7,  fill in the menu fields appropriately,
          edit the form (F3), then save it (F6).

    F8  - Export Form to Edit File:   Writes the current form in memory to the
          edit file listed in the "File"  field on the menu.   You  should  be
          able  to use your editor on this file.    Note  that attributes  and
          special  print  function characters  are  not placed into your  edit
          file.

Menu Input Fields:

    File                     File name used by functions F5  through F8. It is
                             suggested   that  form  files  have   an   ".FRM"
                             extension on their names.   In fact functions  F5
                             and F6  will  automatically append ".FRM"  to the
                             file name in  this field if the extension is left
                             off.

    +------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | NOTE:  The FOLLOWING fields become part of each form saved (F6). |
    | To modify them for a particular form, you must read in the form  |
    | (F5), overwrite with new values, then save the form again (F6).  |
    +------------------------------------------------------------------+

    Lines                    The number of lines in the form.   Functions  F2,
                             F3, F4, F6,  and F8  use this to limit the number
                             of lines in the form.   If you find you need more
                             lines  while  you  are editing,   exit  the  form
                             editor,   increase  this  number,   then   resume
                             editing.  This number may range from 1 to 90.

    Cols                     The  number  of  columns  is  used  by  the  form
                             executor (F4)   to  limit  the  number of columns
                             printed.  This number may range from 20 to 133.

    Input Fields Attributes  These  four  fields   are  used  to  specify  the
                             attributes of form fields where the form executor
                             allows information to be filled in.  See the Form
                             Editor for more information.

    Options:

        Auto Form Numbering
            Start At         The number of the form to be used the  next  time
                             the  form  is  executed.    This  number  can  be
                             automatically entered onto your form by the  form
                             executor.      This    number   is    incremented
                             automatically each  time you execute the form and
                             perform  at  least  one  print  operation.    For
                             example, the  number on  your  invoice  form  can
                             increment  automatically each time you fill it in
                             and print.

        Eject Count          The  number of blank  lines to add to the end  of
                             your  form after it has  been  printed.   This is
                             used  (1)  to align the paper in your printer  to
                             the next  form  if  you have continuous forms, or
                             (2)  to eject the form you have just printed from
                             your printer.

        Pre-printed Forms    Specifies if non-input fields are  to be printed.
                             If  you are printing  on  blank pages,  enter 'N'
                             here.   If you are printing on pre-printed forms,
                             enter 'Y' so only the input fields (what you have
                             typed) are printed.
