.

PC-Wizard will immediately display the Level I Programs Menu where any program
can be executed simply by pressing the function key that corresponds to the
desired program selection. To change the menu level, press the key.

Menu selection slots which you have not yet configured will be displayed as
"Reserved" and selecting these items will result in a BEEP indicating an
invalid choice.

When a valid selection has been made, PC-Wizard will immediately access the
appropriate drive and directory that you specified during set-up and execute
the program. (If the program fails to execute properly it indicates that
incorrect data was provided during the initial set-up and you will need to
reconfigure the function key for that selection.)

PC-Wizard automatically records the time and date that you accessed a program
selection from the Programs Menu and computes the amount of time that you spent
within that particular application. This data is placed in an ACTIVITY.LOG file
with a PATH identifier of {** MENU # **}.

The activity log can be accessed at any time from any of the Programs or the
Backups menus by pressing .

When you quit/exit the current program, PC-Wizard will automatically return you
to the PC-Wizard Programs Menu and allow you to select any of the remaining
programs for running.

To access the Progams Set-up Module in order to add, change or delete a menu
selection, simply press the key. To quit the Programs module and access
the Main Menu press the key.

Special data validation routines have been incorporated into the Programs and
Backups Set-up routines to prevent entering of incorrect data for menu select-
ions. All information input by the user concerning drive, directory and program
files to be executed are checked against the information on your hard disk to
verify that drive and directory exist and that program file is executable!

This version of PowerMaster Plus+ has been enhanced to allow you to access the
Manager by pressing the letter and the Backups module by pressing .


1.6 BACKING-UP DIRECTORIES: To back-up any of the directories that you have
configured through the Backups Set-Up Screen, simply access the Backups Menu
from the PC-Wizard Main Menu by pressing the key while the BACKUPS menu
option is highlighted.

PC-Wizard will immediately display the Level I Backups Menu where any directory
can be backed-up simply by pressing the function key that corresponds to the
desired backup selection. To change the menu level, simply press the key.

Menu selection slots which you have not yet configured will be displayed as
"Reserved" and selecting these items will result in a BEEP indicating an
invalid choice.

When a valid selection has been made, PC-Wizard will immediately access the
Backup Options Screen where you can indicate the type of backup that you want
performed.

The system will immediately access the appropriate drive and directory that you
specified during set-up and perform the backup using the selected option. If
the diskette that you have placed into Drive A: is unformatted it will automat-
ically be formatted prior to commencement of the backup routine.

When the current backup is completed PC-Wizard will automatically return to the
Backup Menu and allow you to select any of the remaining directories for backup
operations.

PC-Wizard automatically records the time and date that you performed a backup
operation from the Backups Menu and computes the amount of time that it took to
complete the backup process. This information is placed in the ACTIVITY.LOG
file with a PATH identifier of {* B-U Menu *.}


1.7 PC-Wizard Manager: The PC-Wizard Manager can be accessed from the PCW
Main Menu by highlighting the selection bar and pressing . The
Manager can also be accessed directly from within the Programs Menus simply by
pressing the letter .

The menu on the left-hand side of the Manager screen lists all of the DOS
commands that can be executed directly from the menu. The first option is the
"WildCard". In the "WildCard" mode, ANY valid command can be issued without
restrictions. This includes executing programs, batch files, utility programs,
and DOS commands that are not included in your version of PC-Wizard PowerMaster
etc. This provides unlimited access to all commands that can be executed by the
computer without the need to first exit PC-Wizard and return to the DOS prompt.

When a menu selection is highlighted on the Manager screen, corresponding
instructional text for that option is displayed in the right-hand "window".
Complete instructions for each command, including uses, syntax, option switches
and comprehensive examples, can be viewed by simply pressing the and
arrow keys on the keypad portion of the computer keyboard. You can
browse through these instructions in order to gain a familiarity with the types
of commands that are available and their general uses (beginner/novice level);
or you can review the instructions in order to "refresh" your memory as to the
proper command structure/syntax (advanced/master level). Either way, the
"learning curve" obstacle has been overcome.

To execute a command from the Manager, simply highlight the desired option and
press the key. The cursor on the Manager Command Line will change color
and shape, indicating that the Manager is now waiting for you to complete the
command by providing the required command parameters according to the displayed
instructions. (It is recommended that you scroll through the instructions for
the command until you have accessed the screen that displays the appropriate
example before you press to access the Command Line. This will ensure
that the needed instructions remain on the screen while you are completing the
command at the Command Line.)

Note: A command can also be accessed by simply pressing the corre-
sponding to the command desired instead of using the and
keys to scroll through the command menu. This is a much faster method of view-
ing instructions for each command!

After the appropriate command parameters have been entered, simply press the
key to execute the command. PC-Wizard will automatically provide a
fresh screen for viewing the results of the executed command and will display
the command at the bottom of the screen. When you are ready to return to the
Manager simply press any key and the Manager menu will reappear and allow you
to enter your next command.

PC-Wizard allows you to automatically re-execute your most recently issued
command by simply pressing the function key. This feature allows you to
quickly and easily REPEAT a given command as often as desired without the need
to retype it each time from the computer keyboard!

The current ACTIVITY LOG can be viewed at any time by pressing the funct-
ion key. When the file becomes larger than you desire, you can "archive" it by
pressing the function key. During the "archive" process, all information
in the current activity log is transferred to a file named ACTIVITY.ARC and a
new ACTIVITY.LOG file is created.

NOTE: The ACTIVITY.LOG(s) can also be accessed from either the Programs Menus
or the Backups Menus simply by pressing the key combination!

Through the use of the PC-Wizard command you can perform "searches"
for specific information contained in the ACTIVITY.ARC file and display this
information on your monitor screen. (Examples: The command "DISPLAY 05-15-90"
will cause only that activity that was performed on 15 May 1990 to be display-
ed. The command "DISPLAY B-U" will display information on all backups that were
performed from the PC-Wizard Backups Menu only. The command "DISPLAY MENU" will
display information on all program executions and backup operations that were
performed from the PC-Wizard menus.)

To exit the Manager and return to PC-Wizard Master Menu or the Programs Menus,
simply press the key.

NOTE: This version of PowerMaster only includes those DOS commands which are
most frequently needed by the average user. However, ALL DOS commands that are
included in your current version of DOS can be executed from the "WildCard"
option. An enhanced version of PowerMaster for the advanced user which will
include all DOS commands is currently under development and will be available
in the near future.


1.9 ACCESSING PC-WIZARD FROM DOS: To start-up PC-Wizard from the DOS prompt
simply type the following command and press the key:

C:\PCW

It is recommended that PC-Wizard be set-up to automatically be executed upon
system start-up by placing the appropriate commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Subsequent reaccesses of PC-Wizard from the DOS prompt can be accomplished by
simply holding down the key and then pressing the function key.

Note: Please ensure that any existing commands for automatic execution of
other programs are removed from your AUTOEXEC.BAT prior to adding the above
command statements. Also ensure that you have loaded the ANSI.SYS device driver
via the command in your CONFIG.SYS file. (example: DEVICE = C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS)
If the ANSI.SYS driver is not loaded the ANSI commands for restarting PC-Wizard
will be treated as ASCII text and the commands will not be interpreted properly
by DOS and will not be executed when the Alt-F10 combination keys are pressed.


1.10 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: To obtain technical assistance call Systematic
Concepts at (714) 633-8438 between 10 A.M - 5 P.M (PST) Mondays thru Fridays.
