' Notes:
' TO PAINT A POP-WINDOW:
' ====================
' Open an ASCII text-file like this one, naming it *.PW -- and draw
' the window like the above by framing it with carrots (well, OK --
' carats). Type in any text you want to show and then place the start
' of each entry filed with a left brace. After the box you can put notes
' to yourself and stuff like this -- I like a guide line to measure
' fields by ...
'
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
' Then put a "\" (backslash) right at the margin as below, and follow it
' with the name of each field and its mask-string (as in PRINT USING
' statements). These will become additional DATA lines. Of course, the
' names of the fields will also have to appear in your BASIC program as
' string literals (in quotes) as in the Demo -- specifically they will
' be arguments for PWSETUP ().
'
' Finally, save the file, compile PWW.BAS and use it to create an .INC
' file from your .PW file.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
