                 How To Install Bulletin Board Note Manager
                         From Windows File Manager


INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE:

1.  From Windows File Manager, double click on the directory in which you
have downloaded the self-extracting Bulletin Board Note Mgr. software to.
To continue with the on-line installation example, double click on the
BBNMTEMP directory.  You should see the file name PNOTEMGR.EXE on the  
right hand column of the File Manager screen.
   
2.  Double click on the PNOTEMGR.EXE file to expand the compressed files.

3.  Install the program to your hard drive by selecting the 'FILE' menu
and then 'RUN'.  In the dialog box enter "C:\BBNMTEMP\INSTALL". Select
'O.K.' If you have downloaded the software to a directory other then
BBNMTEMP, please specify that directory name instead of BBNMTEMP.

4.  The installation program will ask you to supply the following 
information:
       
    a: Your PRODIGY ID and Autologon ID/nickname if applicable.  Keep 
       in mind your autologon id is not your password.
    b: BB NOTE MGR NICKNAME: A nickname to distinguish you from other
       household users of the product such as your first name.  This
       is required in order to complete installation.
    c: Where PRODIGY is located on your machine. (Typically, C:\PRODIGY, 
       C:\PRODWIN or C:\PRODIGYW).
    d: Where to install BB Note Mgr.  We suggest you stay with the 
       default.
    e: Whether you are using PRODIGY for DOS or Windows and what time 
       zone you live in.  This will ensure your notes get added to your 
       off-line database in the proper order.
    f: The Program Group you would like Bulletin Board Note Manager to be 
       added to.

5.  To launch Bulletin Board Note Manager, double click on the BB Note
Manager icon.  The first time you use BB Note Manager it will ask if you
wish to download the Welcome Board.  We strongly suggest you do so and
read all of the notes posted in the "How-To & Tips" topic.  These
suggestions were written on the advice of our beta testers, and what they 
felt was most important for you to know BEFORE trying to download notes.
