***  A few notes from the author and the boys in the band here at M.R.E.  ***

     Stereo Shell is intelligent menu driven.  What this means is that the
 program analyses the file you have selected and opens the appropriate menu
 for working with that file type.  One of our design goals was to make the
 program so intuitive that little or no instruction would be required to
 learn how to use it.  Even so, it is impossible to build such a capable
 application without incorporating a few non-obvious commands.  The purpose
 of this help file is to provide a quick reference for new users.  This is no
 substitution for the detailed .DOC file, however, if we did our job
 correctly, this file should be all that is required to get you started.
     Stereo Shell uses twin (stereo) file windows to allow the user to work
 between any two drives or directories simultaneously.  These file windows
 share the center area of the screen to display their respective
 sub-directory information and allow the user to switch directories on each
 side.  At any time, only one window can show its sub-directory information
 in this area.  Which brings up the question of which directory is showing.
 The answer is derived from the actual screen graphics.  The sub-directory
 window is always "hooked" graphically to its associated file window.  Thus
 the term "hooked" will be used to refer to the current working side.  The
 hooked side will always be the source of all file operations.  The un-hooked
 side is the default destination of all file moves, and copies.  All DOS
 commands that refer to making sub-directories etc. will always work on the
 hooked side.  After a few minutes of working with STS this concept will
 become "second nature" to you, however we feel all new concepts and terms
 should be mentioned.
     Stereo Shell is the program that copies 'em from anywhere to anywhere
 (sort of like the phone company).  We at M.R.E. certainly hope that if you
 will give this program a fair test you will never want to listen to that
 bland ol' mono DOS again.  Go Hi-Fi man, support shareware today!
