+ TerseTEX 3.0 -- Usage Information
+
+
+
+1) Installation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+a) Insert the TerseTEX 3.0 diskette in drive A:. The programs will be
+ installed in the subdirectory C:\TTEX\. If this is acceptable go to
+ step b).
+
+ If a different subdirectory is desired, create a back-up diskette
+ first. Then edit the batch file A:TTEX.BAT and change all occurrences
+ of "ttex" (lower-case) to the desired subdirectory (the program name
+ TTEX.BAT itself must not be changed!). Then edit the batch file
+ A:INSTALL.BAT and change all occurences of "ttex" (lower-case only !)
+ to the desired subdirectory. Upper-case "TTEX" must not be changed!.
+ Then go to step b).
+
+b) With the TerseTEX 3.0 diskette in drive A: type
+
+ A:INSTALL c:\path\ <Enter>
+
+ Here "c:\path\" must be a path listed in the "PATH" statement of the
+ AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This will guarantee that TTEX can be invoked from
+ any working directory. Do not forget the closing backslash \.
+
+c) After the "INSTALLATION COMPLETE" message the diskette may be
+ removed.
+
+2) Running TTEX
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+After installation TTEX can be run from any directory by typing
+
+ TTEX "name" <Enter>
+
+If the file "name.TTX" is found in the current directory, it will be
+brought up in the built-in editor for entry or editing. Note that the
+extension "TTX" is implied and must not be entered on the command line.
+After the editing process (type "F1" for help) is complete type "ALT-X"
+to exit the editor. The file "name.TTX" will now be converted to a TEX
+file "name.TEX" in the same directory, which can then be typeset in the
+normal fashion through your TEX system. If errors occur type "X" to exit
+the error display and then "Y" to return to the editor or "N" to
+terminate.
+
+3) Getting Started
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+As a first step it is recommended to copy the file C:\TTEX\DEMO2.TTX to
+your working directory and then run it according to section 2) above. It
+should run without errors.
+
+If you do not have a copy of the User's Guide yet, run the file
+C:\TTEX\MANUAL\TTEXMAN.TTX and typeset the resulting TEX file. Note that
+your TEX system needs to have access to TENSOR.STY, since several tensor
+examples are included in the user's guide. For convenience a copy of
+TENSOR.STY is included in the subdirectory a:\tensor\ of the diskette.
+
+Start writing your own small .TTX files using Table 2 of the User's
+Guide appendix as a guide. Note that the preamble, \start{document} and
+\end{document} statements are automatically inserted by the TTEX program
+and should not not appear in your input.
+
+
+4) About the Editor.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+TTEX uses a third party shareware editor called BINGO as its built-in
+editor. This editor is highly configurable and ideally suited for the
+task. If you plan to use this program on a regular basis, please
+register and pay your fee. Consult the file C:\TTEX\EDITOR\README.DOC
+for the registration procedure.
+
+A full manual is found in the file C:\TTEX\EDITOR\BINGO.DOC and help for
+the configuration used for TTEX is available on-line by means of the
+"F1" function key.
+
+The most frequently used edit functions are described below.
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys are abbreviated as follows:
+
+ # means Shift ^ means Ctrl @ means Alt
+
+^D (for example) means holding down the Ctrl key and then typing the
+letter D.
