1.0 INTRODUCTION
------------
What exactly is PC-COMMANDER? Simply stated, PC-COMMANDER is
a program which allows you to take COMMAND of your computer.
You use it to create custom menus to execute the programs on
your hard disk. Instead of remembering cryptic names of the
programs on your hard disk, PC-COMMANDER presents you with a
menu containing descriptive names (which you create to your
liking) of the programs on your hard disk. You simply point
to the program you want to run, and PC-COMMANDER will execute
it for you. When you are done, PC-COMMANDER will display the
menu for you again, if you choose.
For each task, you can specify that you want PC-COMMANDER to
stay in memory while it is executing that task. This will
cause PC-COMMANDER to immediately re-appear after that task
is finished.
For each task, you can also have PC-COMMANDER prompt for
information to be passed on to the program, such as the name
of a file to edit, a disk to display the directory of, etc.
This feature makes your computer truly user-friendly.
PC-COMMANDER is ideal for use in offices and schools.
The only thing you need to make PC-COMMANDER work for you is
a slight understanding of batch files.
