JUDY Documentation Version 1.01

WHAT IS JUDY?
I have lived with a Judy, a flesh and blood Judy, for many years now.
She has made life a lot more pleasant and considerably easier. I'm kind of an
absent-minded guy. My wife, Judy, is a very practical person. She manages to
keep track of some things which elude me. I've come to depend upon her.
What would happen if - God forbid!- we got divorced? The spiritual and
romantic benefits of marriage would be hard to replace, but how about the
nagging? Couldn't the constant reminders be performed by a computer?
Of course, they would be performed less artfully than by my real Judy,
but no less resolutely.
Thus the genesis of JUDY, the Electronic Yenta.

She shares some of my wife's better qualities:

She never forgets:
All your appointments and commitments for the rest of the century are in JUDY's
memory. There can be a thousand appointments pending at any one time, and an
unlimited number recorded in her logs.

She'll go anywhere with you:
As you use your computer, going from one piece of software to another, from one
directory to another, from drive to drive, JUDY stays with you, waiting in the
background, never losing her bearings.

She's slim:
Since JUDY is always at hand, she must always occupy some RAM. However she's
kept her weight down to a mere 7K.

She thinks fast:
Any concurrent program requires a flicker of attention every so often. JUDY has
been crafted to keep this flicker to a minimum. She uses less than one
millisecond per second. (Your software will run better than 99.9% of its normal
speed.)




TWO FACES OF JUDY:

JUDY consists of two software elements, which are distinct but
interconnected. Either can be run alone and be useful, but they are far more
powerful together. These two facets are "JudyK" and "JK". It might help to
think of them as the conscious and subconscious mind: two very different aspects
of the same personality. JudyK, whose thoughts are frontstage, is analogous to
the conscious, while JK, running quietly in the background, approximates the
subconscious.

JudyK is responsible for large displays and long-range views. Through
JudyK, JUDY presents you with the full-screen interactive calendar, she takes
appointments, has editing functions, makes hard-copy, and (invisibly to you)
goes through your notes and records, doing the daily filing tasks. JudyK fills
your computer's memory, does her job, them leaves, returning her space to the
memory pool.

The other facet of JUDY is JK. While JudyK is expansive and full, JK is
slim and laconic. Unlike JudyK, JK slips into your memory and stays there.
Because she occupies memory, she needs to be lean, all function and no fat.
--2
USING JUDY:
JudyK prepares the day's agenda for JK. So to use JUDY, you first run
Judyk and then JK. You can do this automatically with JUDY.bat: just type
"JUDY". Or better still, add the two commands "JUDYK" and "JK" (in that order),
to your AUTOEXEC.bat file.

THE FIRST TIME: INSTALLING JUDY:

JUDY needs to reside on one of your disks, preferably a hard disk.
To install her, simply copy the JUDY files from your distribution disk to
the hard disk or floppy which you will use for JUDY.
The files you will need are JUDYK.COM, JK.COM, and JUDY.HLP. (The .HLP
file can be omitted. If you do not need online help screens, this will save some
disk space.) Another useful option is JUDY.BAT, which simply invokes JUDYK and
JK. (Judy.doc is this text, and does not need to be transferred.)

Now it is time to start up JUDY and make her your own. To bring her to
life, type "JUDYK". She will then ask you a series of simple questions. See
Dialogue 1 in the Appendices for details of this session.


JUDY'S AREA

JUDY uses a particular directory on a particular drive disk to leave
notes for herself. If these notes were scattered all over various disks and
directories, JUDY would have a hard time keeping track of them, or even knowing
of their existence. We need to set aside an area for all of JUDY's files. It
can be in her own private directory but it doesn't have to be. Her default is to
occupy a directory called \JUDY, so I'll call it that. You select any directory
you want, (including the root "\" directory, which is equivalent to no directory
at all.) If the directory you indicate doesn't yet exist, JUDY will create it.
JUDY populates her area during the Initialization process. The \JUDY
directory holds her four data files (CALENDAR.JK, ADDRESS.JK, EXPENSES.JK,
IDEAS.JK), as well as "SCRATCH.PAD" and "NOTE.PAD" that she uses herself.

Judy's two executable files: JUDYK.COM and JK.COM, and her two batch
files JUDY.BAT and WHERE'S.BAT (which she makes) need not be in the \JUDY area.
They ought to be somewhere in the Path. They can find the \Judy area no matter
where they or you are. (Your DOS manual explains use of the Path).

Of course floppy disk users must insure that the correct actual disk
is in the proper drive, but only during daily bootup, and when using Judy's
disk functions (JOT and the optional PhoneBook DIAL.) Hard disk users do not
have this concern. JUDY will always find her disk and directory.

If you use the wrong disk: (floppy disk users)
When JOTting, JUDY looks first for her directory. If it is not
available, she issues a message and allows you to change disks, or cancel.
Her directory could be available on the wrong disk (JUDY's area might be
the root directory, for instance, which will always be present). In this case,
JUDY won't complain. Having found her area, JUDY adds another note to her
scratchpad. (A file called SCRATCH.PAD, which is read, then flushed out
by JudyK as soon as she boots up.)
If there's no scratch.pad in her area, JUDY creates a new one. But if
this scratch.pad is not on JUDY's disk, JudyK will not find it the next morning.
Don't worry. You can add this scratch.pad to real one by typing:
"COPY B:SCRATCH.PAD + A:SCRATCH.PAD" (if B: is the real JUDY disk.)
"ERASE A:SCRATCH.PAD" (to get rid of the accidental scratch.pad)
--3
JUDY IN THE FOREGROUND:

After typing JUDY, (or directly invoking JUDYK), you'll see her sign on.
Then the calendar display will appear. You will see the screen arranged into ten
'windows'- boxes which enclose particular functions. In the Month Window, for
example, the current month is highlighted. Similarly the day of the month is lit
in the Day Window. On the left side of the screen is today's list of
appointments. As a new user, you'll have no appointments, and this box will be
empty. Get to work! Make some appointments.

Notice that each of the windows has "button" on it. The button
corresponds to a function key. When the key is struck , the window is activated:
It lights up, and its function is engaged.


F1: HELP
This presents on onscreen help function, should that be
necessary. Press F1 for Help then press the key that you want help for. Pressing
[Esc], or any Function Key twice, sends you home from helpland.


F2: MONTH:
Activates the Month array. You can now change the currently
displayed month by using the cursor keys. Right/Left or Up/Down move you month
by month. Home/End jump between January and December. You can scroll past
December into January of the next year, and vice-versa.
Notice how the display cascades: changing the month causes a new
calendar to appear, and a new list of messages.
By hitting the asterisk (*), you invoke the Wild Month. (See
WILDCARDS below)


F4: YEAR:
Activates the Year window. The years can be scrolled, with the
Left/Right keys. Decades scroll with Up/Down. The display cascades as in the
Month Window. And as in the other date windows the * activates the Wild Year.


F6: DAY:
The calendar of days is active. As you scroll, (Left/Right for
days, Up/Down for weeks), the notes for that day appear on the left side of the
screen. The * will activate the Wild Day. See WILDCARDS below.
Note the single-line box around those dates that have no
appointments, and double-lines around those which do.


F3: NOTES:
This key opens the Notes Window, displaying the notes for the
active date. Notes are available for editing in this mode, and are expanded
from their normal truncated display.
The cursor keys serve as normal editing keys, and you have both
overwrite and push-to-the-right editing available. Hitting the Insert key will
toggle this back and forth. (The cursor shows the current state.)
To delete a note altogether use [Ctrl]/[End] (the two keys
together). To edit the time of a message use the Left key, or [Ctrl][Left].

--4
F5: ENTER:
This function is used to add appointments to your calendar. The
entry window will light up. Appointments are added to the currently displayed
date. First fill in the time, (see TELLING JUDY THE TIME, below), then enter the
message.


F7: SEARCH:
This allows you to find any name or fragment in your appointment
book. Simply type in the name, or piece (pay no attention to Upper and Lower
Case.. Judy won't.) Then press Enter Judy will locate the appointment and flip
the calendar to that date. Pressing Enter again finds the next occurrence. Any
Function Key will escape. (Note that the order of the Search is from the most
recently added back.)


F8: PHONEBOOK:
An available option is JUDY's phonebook utility which allows
extremely rapid and intelligent access to thousands and thousands of names in
your Address file. JUDY she can place calls for you from this list.


F9: PRINTOUT:
JUDY lists out the displayed schedule on your printer. The
printer type and port should be set during initialization. After printing, you
are asked whether you want a "Page Eject?".


F10: EXIT:
Return to DOS saving all changes.

WILDCARDS:
Like DOS, JUDY understands WILDCARDS. She uses them for three parts of
the date: the day, the month, and the year. This is (obviously) useful for
various types of regular occurrences. For example:

day/month/*: every year on this date: birthdays, anniversaries
day/*/year: this day every month this year: bill payments
*/month/year: every day of the month: monthlong project
*/*/year: every day this year: long term project
*/month/*: all month, every year: seasonal reminder
day/*/*: certain day of the month: rent payment
*/*/*: every day: inspirational message


NAG FILE:
The Nag File is opened by hitting the letter 'N' in the Day window.
The Nag File is the list of those things that must get done as soon as possible,
not on a particular day. Changing the oil in your car for example.
The contents of the Nag File are always added to Today's messages,
and they follow you every day until you finally get take care of them.


WEEKLY OCCURRENCES:
Weekly occurrences can be flagged by hitting the 'W' key from within
the day window. This creates messages that appear every Tuesday, for instance,
if the cursor was on Tuesday when 'W' was pressed.

JUDY IN THE BACKGROUND:

When you typed JUDY, the full-screen JudyK program appeared. After you
exited, the background portion of JUDY (called JK) was loaded. This is done
only once after the computer is booted up. If you did not use the JUDY batch
file, simply type "JK".
When Judy loads, she responds with the line
JUDY is here. Call me anytime with the Double Shift.
She also immediately puts a clock in the upper right corner. (See CLOCK below.)
You now have JUDY running under all your other software, until the system is re-
booted. Where ever you wander in your computer, JUDY will follow you, staying
quietly in the background, maintaining your clock, and waiting. Two things can
bring her up front. If she has a message for you, she'll let you know. Or if you
want her, you can always summon her up.




WHEN JUDY CALLS:
When JUDY has a message for you, she will sound a thrumming note.
She will also interrupt whatever process you are engaged in. The rest of
the computer's operations, (except for life-support functions) are suspended
while JUDY presents her message, which appears as a bright, underlined message
in the center of the screen. (You can change the color and position.)
You acknowledge the message with a [Esc] or [Return]. The JUDY message
will disappear, the screen will be repaired, and the interrupted software will
resume. The message is then considered delivered, and JUDY will reuse its space.
Alternatively, the 's' key can be used as a 'snooze bar', a
procrastination feature that postpones the message for five minutes. (This is
customizable also.)
Any keystroke other than [Esc], [Return], 's', or 'S' will be ignored
and thrown away. This insures that you will not miss the message.




WHEN YOU CALL JUDY:
The "Double Shift" calls Judy to the foreground of your screen.
To do the double shift, you hold down both left and right shift keys at once.
Press them firmly down, and hold 'em in until JUDY presents herself. She'll
appear with this menu:
Memo Jot Review Clock Quit
You choose these functions by tapping the first letter. (The 'c' key,
shifted or not, will give you the CLOCK, for instance. After performing the
chosen function, JUDY will drop away, returning you to exactly where you were
when you called her.
--6


These are the JUDY background functions:



MEMO:
MEMO is used to add a message to today's list. MEMO puts notes
into current memory only, it does not write to disk. Like everything in memory,
MEMO messages vanish when the computer is turned off or rebooted. So they should
only be used for short term notes. For more permanent notes use JOT.
To set a MEMO, call JUDY with the Double Shift. When she
appears, hit 'm' for Memo. Then fill in the time of the message. (See TELLING
JUDY THE TIME below.) After the time has been filled in, a blank line will
appear. Type your message in the line (using left, right and backspace keys to
correct errors). Then hit either [Esc] or [Return]. The message is now tucked
away. It can be checked with REVIEW, and when the time comes, you'll be hearing
from JUDY.





DIAL:
After the "Dial Whom?" prompt type a number. If it is a longdistance
number JUDY will use your "longdistance access" string to connect through your
preferred carrier. Set it with JUDYK/s (setup) (see below). 800 numbers do not
use the longdistance string, they use a separate "800 access" string to save
connect charges for what should be a toll-free call.
Owners of JUDY's PhoneBook option can also type a name at this point,
JUDY will then fetch the number from the phonebook and dial it.
After a call has been placed, the DIAL option on the menu is replaced by
HANGUP. 'H' will simply hangup the telephone. Note that both DIAL and HANGUP are
both always available, even though only one is displayed.



REVIEW:
This function allows you to check upcoming messages, and to
cancel any of them. To REVIEW, call Judy with the Double Shift, then press 'r'.
This prompt will appear:
[Del] kills, other keys advance
From this point on, you press any key to see the next message. They are
presented one at a time in chronological order, and then Judy drops away. If
there are no messages Judy disappears immediately. To cancel a message, simply
press the [Del] key while it is onscreen. The message is eradicated and its
space recovered for later use.


CLOCK:
JUDY presents a 12-hour hour-minute-second clock, which she updates
each second. If the position of the clock, or its existence, is not desired, the
CLOCK function allows you to change it temporarily. (Use JudyK/s to permanently
alter it.) Call JUDY with the Double Shift, and tap the 'c' key. Now you can
place the clock anywhere on the screen using the arrow keys. Or you can remove
the clock with the [Ins] key. If the clock is already gone, the [Ins] key will
restore it. When done, the [Return] or [Esc] key will bring you back to your
main task.

--7
JOT:
Jot is JUDY's access to the disk, and thus to long term storage.
(Read the note on JUDY'S AREA for a discussion of disk usage.) Jot, invoked by
the Double Shift, then 'j', will present you with a further choice:
Calendar Address Expense Idea
The Calendar option allows you to leave a message for any time this
decade. After filling out the time and date (see below), a line appears into
which you drop your message. Note that even if a message is for today's date,
JUDY will not remind you of it, until it has been "digested" by JudyK. On the
other hand, a JOTted date even in the past, will become part of your calendar
and log files.
Address, Expense, Idea each simply mark the succeeding message for
filing into one of three bins: ADDRESS.JK, EXPENSES.JK, IDEAS.JK. These are
sorted and assembled by JudyK. However, unlike the CALENDAR notes, they are
simply converted into text files, which can then be read with a text editor, or
with a filter such as DOS's "FIND", or your own software. During Installation,
JUDY creates a file called WHERE'S.BAT. WHERE'S demonstrates the use of
the DOS "FIND" filter with ADDRESS.JK. Use it thus:
"Where's Jim".
Optional JUDY modules make more intimate use of these files, dialing
your phone, preparing expense reports, etc. from this data.



DOS LOCK: Flashing Triangles in Clock Display:
These downward pointing triangles indicate that JUDY wants to download
the most recent JOT to disk, but DOS is locked. DOS is locked during certain
critical states, and it should not be interrupted. Oddly, one of those states is
when you are 'sitting at the carat'; ie: just in DOS, with no application
program running.
You don't have to do anything, JUDY will wait for the best time and then
perform the disk write. Just do not turn off the computer before she's had her
chance. (Usually some screen activity will unlock DOS. Hit Return a few times.)


TELLING JUDY THE TIME:
Judy accepts both 12 hour or 24 hour ("military") time. If there is an
ambiguity, she will ask for 'a' or 'p' (am/pm). Judy takes care of all
punctuation, you need only give her the digits, (and 'a' or 'p'). She ignores
illegal digits. Using [Enter] for defaults:
Before first digit: No time attached to message.
Before the minutes: Even o'clock, (eg: 7:00)
Before am/pm: "Normal office" hours. (8:31 am to 8:30 pm)



TELLING JUDY THE DATE:
When using the Jot-Calendar feature, you will need to enter a date. Judy
starts you with the current date, allowing you to overwrite it. You can change
as much of the date as you like , scooting around with the left and right
arrows. As soon as you hit the Enter key, it is accepted. For instance if you
want to leave a message for today's date, you don't type in anything, just hit
Enter. Or change a single digit and Enter to leave a message for tomorrow.
The date is day/month-name/'year. The day is filled in as two digits.
Note that the first digit cannot exceed 3. The month is selected using the up
and down cursor keys to scroll through the month-names, and hitting the return
key to pick one. For the year, you need only fill in the last digit, as it is
assumed to be in the 1980's.
--8
Error Messages:

'Bad disk; fix & hit key. Or Esc.'
When you loaded JK, the JUDY disk was not the default
drive. Or the JUDY disk is damaged. Replace the disk, hit a key, and it will
re-attempt to load. If you use [Esc], JUDY will install herself, but without any
of today's messages. She will use Drive B: as her home drive.

'Sorry, my memory is full now. '
Judy can only hold sixteen pending "today's" messages. There are
sixteen active ones already. Delete one with the REVIEW function if you want.

'Cannot write. Hit [Esc] to free.'
JUDY cannot jot a note into her directory. Most likely, the
wrong floppy is in the drive. Replace the disk, if necessary, and hit a key.
Otherwise abort out with [Esc]. Note will not be written.

'Cannot create scratch.pad. hit [Esc]'
Judy cannot open up a file in her directory. Probably the
directory is full or it is nonexistent. Hit [Escape] and investigate. Your note
will not be written.

'Judy`s already here. Hit [Esc]'
JK, the resident part of JUDY, is already in residence. There
are few reasons for double loading JUDY, and it might create trouble. Trouble
makers can force a doubleload with 'f'. (One reason might be to maintain two
JUDY's with different longdistance access. Be sure to configure different
DoubleShift patterns as well.

'Version mismatch. Maybe trouble.'
The JUDYK and JK files are not the same version number. Check
the numbers during signon. This may or may not present problems.

'Not now.'
This message occasionally appears if you call JUDY during a
time when the computer's operation should not be interrupted. Try again in a few
seconds.

'Error on LPT1:' 'IO ERROR' or 'OUT OF PAPER'
These selfexplanatory messages might appear during hardcopy
printout. Usually your printer is turned off, off-line or out of paper. However
be certain that the LPT number in the error message corresponds to your actual
printer port.

'This is not MY Calendar'
You have gotten the wrong calendar.jk file in your system. You
can delete it and then use Judyk/F to replace this (and any other missing
files). JUDY Clones will not read the files of another JUDY clone.

'Cannot find file xxxx.jk'
The requested file is not available. Do you have the wrong disk
mounted? If not then, type 'Judyk/F' to replace the missing file with a clean
slate.

The JUDY Distribution Disk:


-the software--
JUDYK.com : the full-screen calendar, sorting program. Transient.
JK .com : the background software, Remains Resident.

-a little help--
JUDY .BAT : simply calls JudyK, then JK
JUDY .HLP : help screens for Judy.. can be removed.
JUDY .DOC : this documentation



JUDY WILL CREATE THE FOLLOWING FILES

in the current directory:
WHERE'S.bat : sample use of ADDRESS.jk with FIND

in the the JUDY directory:
ADDRESS.jk : list of addresses, readable by any text editor.
EXPENSES.jk : list of expense, readable by any text editor.
IDEAS.jk : idea 'heap', readable by any text editor.
*CALENDAR.jk : records appointments, only readable by JUDY
*SCRATCH.pad : JK's notes to JUDYK
*NOTE.pad : JUDYK's notes to JK
MON'YR.LOG : (ie: JAN'85.LOG) Diary files, records of old events.

*for internal use only





Diary Files:

JUDY will uses all available memory up to about 128K to hold the
largest possible Calendar file. (Several thousand appointments.) When there
is no more room, she automatically spills off the oldest inactive appointments
into nicely formatted Diary files. She can no longer read them but you can,
with any word processor . There is a separate file for each month.
JUDY will explain to you what she is doing when she does it.

-10
JUDY SWITCHES:
Quick: Judyk /Q
Do the filing and exit, no fullscreen display
Useful in AUTOEXEC's where the calendar display is unwanted.

Printout: Judyk /P
Print out today's agenda. Can be combined with /q.
Useful if you want hard copy every morning.

Setup: Judyk /S
Tailor Judy to user's parameters. See section on Set-up.
Useful as your equipment, or your taste changes.

Fresh Files: Judyk /F
Any JUDY files not present will be created.
Useful after a disk disaster, or simply to start from scratch.
Use the subswitch /O (Judyk /f /o) to overwrite (kill) existing files.

Clone: Judyk /C
Create a free-sample JUDY. See below.
Useful if you wish to give JUDY away, yet maintain your integrity.

Identify: Judyk /I
JUDY identifies herself, her owner, her condition.
Useful if you've gotten confused.


PASSWORDS:
You might work in an environment where you have to worry about an
unfriendly someone browsing through your records. If so, you have my sympathy
and JUDY's modest help. A password, or passkey, can be installed at the gates to
JUDY. It is equivalent to the lock on a briefcase, it helps the curious remember
their manners, but a serious thief would work his way through.
When asked for a password you have three choices:
[Enter] means no password protection.
NAME [Enter] means NAME is the password.
[Any function key, or cursorpad key] is the single strike passkey.


COPYRIGHTS AND CLONES:

JUDY is copyrighted material, and of course it is illegal to distribute
unauthorised copies, whether for fun or profit. You may make safety copies for
yourself, naturally.

If you work on more than one machine, please feel free to put JUDY on
your several computers, (for your use only). You are the licensed user, not your
machine.
We hope you enjoy JUDY. You may find that you want to share this
software with your friends. You cannot copy her, but you can clone her! This
produces a free-sample of JUDY which you are encouraged to give away. In fact,
we will pay you to give away clones:
Your JUDY passes her "genetic code" to her clones. If you register your
code, you'll be rewarded for the seeds you sow, as the clone-owners order new
JUDY's. To be specific, we will pay you 20% of our gross receipts for all JUDY
orders which results from your clones!


WARRANTEE:
JUDY will be replaced if found defective.
That is the total limit of our responsibility.

dialogue 1: JUDY INSTALLATION:
upon first powerup of Judy

Welcome, new JUDY user. Are you ready to install her?
Judy asks if you are ready to make sure you know what you're doing when you
install her. By reading this manual you will be ready.
typical answer: Y or Enter

Sometimes there will be defaults. They look like [this].
Whenever possible, Judy will suggest a sensible answer for each of her own
questions. She'll present the default answer in a different color, and in
brackets.
typical answer: [spacebar], any key at all

Your name:
Judy wants to know your name. It is very IMPORTANT that you answer this question
seriously. Judy won't allow you to change your name later, because Judy belongs
to only person. Almost everything else can be changed by running "Judyk/s".
typical answer: Edith Snitnow

What is your birthday? first the MONTH [1-12] and the DAY [1-31]
Just enter the month of your birth. Again, you're advised to take this
seriously. Judy uses your birthday to identify you and your files. Using your
real birthday will make things simpler.
typical answer: 5 [Enter]
then 15 [Enter] (Edith's birthday is May 15th)

Set your password, if desired:
Again BE CAREFUL, answer this seriously. If you feel sensitive about your
personal schedule, you can install a password into Judy. Actually you have three
options at this point.
1: You can have NO PASSWORD. Just hit the [Enter] key.
2: You can type in any PASSWORD (ending in with [Enter]).
3: You can simply install a PASS-KEY. Any of the Function keys, Alternate keys,
or even Cursor-pad keys will serve as a one-stroke password. (No [Enter].)
typical answer: popeye (caps don't matter at all)

Where is Judy`s Area?
Judy can be in any directory on any of your disk drives. Judy will, as a default
select the current drive and directory, and add \JUDY to the end. (unless you
are already in a \JUDY directory). If you want any other area type in the drive
and path (these must be valid) and the subdirectory name. If necessary, Judy
will create the new subdirectory. For no subdirectory usage, you indicate the
drive letter and the root, eg: "B:\"
typical answer: C:\BIN\JUDY

Do you wish to do a detailed configuration right now?
You have now completed the information necessary to install Judy into your
system. At this point you are presented the option of further customizing her.
If you care to go on, all the following questions have simple defaults. If you
answer Yes at this point, you'll fall into the Judy Configuration dialogue.
typical answer: N or Enter (for no)

At this point there is a pause while Judy does some disk work. She will
establish the Judy directory and create on it a series of files for various
types of data. Please be patient.
-12
dialogue 2: JUDY CONFIGURATION:
Upon invocation by Judyk/s

Where should the clock be? (Use Cursor keys)
If you don't like where the clock comes up (the upper right hand corner), you
can change this home position by pushing around the marker with the cursor keys.
Of course, you can always change the actual clock position at any time.
typical answer: (Move the marker with the four cursor keys, then press [Enter].)

Where should Judy appear?
Similarly, you indicate a position on the screen. Notice that the legal area for
the marker is constrained to an area smaller than the full screen.
typical answer: (Move the marker with the four cursor keys, then press [Enter].)

What color code for clock? (Use Cursor keys)
There are 256 available colors, which you can scroll through. The order of the
colors can be found in Table C of the IBM Tech Ref Manual. Monochrome owners
will find that a great many colors are exactly the same as one another, and that
scrolling through them is rather boring. For both color and monochrome colors
128-255 are all blinking.
typical answer: (View colors with arrows, then select by pressing [Enter].)

How about a color code for Judy menus?
This color is the one in which you want Judy to present herself when she
interrupts you from the background.
typical answer: (View colors with arrows, then select by pressing [Enter].)

And for urgent Judy messages?
This is the color in which all highlighted words used by Judy will be presented.
This means not only urgent text, but other non-emergency characters, most
notably the cursor.
typical answer: (View colors with arrows, then select by pressing [Enter].)

How long is the snooze period? {in minutes}
The snooze period is the time which you get to procrastinate.. When Judy
interrupts you with a message and you hit 'S' or spacebar to postpone that
message a few minutes, the Snooze Period will determine that interval.
typical answer: 5

Do you wish to change the "Double Shift" pattern?
If for some reason, you want to call JUDY with something other than the
traditional double-shift (left and right shiftkeys), you can change that. Simply
answer Yes, then set any combination of left shift, right shift, Alt and Ctl.
Use [Enter] to accept, or [Del] to clear the combination and try again.

What type of printer? { Vanilla=0 Epson=1 }
This regulates the type of control codes which Judy will use to create special
printer effects when making hardcopy of your schedule.
The Vanilla option attempts no printer effects, it sends only pure ASCII code.

Where's the modem? { 0 (no modem), 1,2,3 }
If you wish to use JUDY's dialing capabilities, either the optional PhoneBook
features, or the simple autodialer, tell JUDY which COM port has the modem.
typical answer: 1

What baudrate? { 300, 1200 }
You get a choice of 300 or 1200. Your modem is one or the other. Which is it?
typical answer: 1200

Modem Command= INIT & DIAL:
This is the string which is issued before every number is dialed. JUDY's default
is to tonedial, turn on the speaker, and to treat the call as a voice, rather
than data connection. She also assumes that she is talking to a Hayes
Smartmodem, or the equivalent, a modem that speaks "AT" protocol. Her
default INIT & DIAL string is ATE0M2DT ("ATtention, do not Echo, turn speaker
Monitor on, Dial (by touchTone) the following number"). You may construct your
own string to suit your purposes or your modem. You might need to put a "9" and
some pauses (commas) at the end to dial out of your PBX system, for instance.
typical answer: [Enter]

Modem Command= TERMINATOR:
This is the string which goes AFTER the number is dialed. A carriage-return is
generally enough. JUDY uses a full semicolon, linefeed, carriage-return string.
typical answer: [Enter]

Modem Command= HANG UP:
This is the command which is issued to hang up the phone and to put the modem
back in its expected state. JUDY's default is "ATH" (Hang Up) followed by "ATZ"
(Reset yourself, modem).
typical answer: [Enter]

Long Distance access:
This is the string which you wish JUDY to issue before each longdistance number.
It may be nothing (enter just a carriage return). Or just a "1", or perhaps a
complex series of digits and pauses which connect you to your longdistance
service. Note that the popular "smart" modems are not smart enough to detect and
report a dial tone. You will have to incorporate pauses into the string to allow
your service to provide you a line. Note that the "AT" protocol uses a comma to
represent each 2 second pause.
typical answer: (local access number) ,,, (personal id number)

800 access:
JUDY can distinguish longdistance from local numbers. She can also distinguish
800 numbers and will treat them differently. You will probably want to use your
default long-distance service (typically AT&T) to make this connection quickly
and without any charge to you.
typical answer: 1

Your home Area Code?
When dialing JUDY must distinguish between local and longdistance numbers. Users
of the PhoneBook option are encouraged to maintain all the numbers as full ten-
digit numbers. That way JUDY can still function when you move, travel, or (as
just happened here), your area code is suddenly changed by the phone company.
typical answer: 718

Thank you. That's all.
