" FROM THE MENU.LIST..******************
*******************....    AUTO-MENU IS 
A SHORT, SIX-BLOCK.PROGRAM THAT YOU'LL W
ANT TO PLACE AS.THE FIRST FILE ON YOUR P
ROGRAM DISKS....THEN, WHEN YOU LOAD":*",
8 AND RUN IT.A HANDY MENU OF ALL THE FIL
ES ON THE.DISK WILL SHOW ON YOUR SCREEN.
  IF IT.IS NOT THE FIRST FILE ON THE DIS
K,.YOU CAN ALWAYS LOAD"AUTO-MENU",8 AND.
RUN IT...    ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN A
RE THE.FIRST 23 FILES ON YOUR DISK, IN T
HIS.CASE, LOADSTAR #45.  SINCE MANY OF.O
UR FILES ARE NON-RUNNABLE I WOULDN'T.REC
OMMEND CHOOSING A NUMBER AT RANDOM.TO LO
AD OR RUN.  ON LOADSTAR THE.PROPER BOOT 
FILE FOR A PROGRAM IS THE.FIRST FILE AFT
ER A DIVIDER FILE,.WHICH LOOKS LIKE ">--
------- ----<"..MANY BOOT FILES HAVE THE
 ACTUAL WORD."BOOT" IN THEM...    AUTO-M
ENU HAS FIVE OPTIONS: LOAD,.RUN, FIRST P
AGE OF DIRECTORY, NEXT.PAGE OF DIRECTORY
, AND PREVIOUS PAGE.OF DIRECTORY.  YOU D
ON'T HAVE TO LOAD.A FILE BEFORE RUNNING;
 SIMPLY.PRESSING THE KEY "R" AND THEN.EN
TERING THE NUMBER OF THE FILE WILL.LOAD 
AND RUN THE PROGRAM.  TO LOAD A.PROGRAM 
WITHOUT RUNNING IT, JUST.PRESS "L" AND E

HAS MORE THAN 23.FILES ON IT, THE REMAIN
DER OF THE.FILES WILL BE ON LATER 'PAGES
'..PRESSING "N" WILL TAKE YOU TO THE.NEX
T PAGE; "P" WILL TAKE YOU TO THE.PREVIOU
S PAGE; AND "F" WILL TAKE YOU.TO THE FIR

YOU'LL AGREE THAT THIS.IS MUCH EASIER TH
AN LOADING IN A.DIRECTORY AND TYPING LOA
D"FILENAME",8.AND RUN AFTER YOU HUNT DOW
N THE FILE.YOU WANT TO RUN...    SINCE A
UTO-MENU IS A UTILITY THAT.IN MOST CASES
