Technical Notes
---------------
Therapist Helper 4.5 supports a mouse.  The colored rectangle which may
appear on your screen is the mouse's current position.  Move the rectangle
by moving your mouse.  If you do not like to use your mouse, you may wish
to move the rectangle to a corner of the screen where it is out of the way.
The rectangle will not affect Helper's performance.

If you experience memory problems when running Therapist Helper, be sure
that your CONFIG.SYS file contains at least Files=25 and Buffers=25.  If
your computer has 560K of the base 640K free at the DOS prompt, you should
not experience any memory problems.

Type DI and press Enter when in the \HELPER directory to refresh index files.
This should be done periodically to enhance processing speed.

Type CHECK and press Enter when in the \HELPER directory to run the database
check.  This feature examines data integrity.  Run this check if Helper acts
strangely (bad data, inappropriate errors).  Errors are usually caused by
power surges.  Protect your computer with a surge protector.  If errors are
found, type DOCTOR and press Enter when in the \HELPER directory.  This will
go through a process to mend your database.  If Doctor fails, call Brand 
Software for instructions on mending database errors.

Type THCHECK and press Enter when in the \HELPER directory to run the
database check.  This feature examines the logic of your data.  It is not a
replacement for CHECK.  It should be run with CHECK to find all errors as
soon as possible.  To fix any errors found using THCHECK, type THCHECK /f2
and press Enter when in the \HELPER directory.  If you have any questions,
call Brand Software for instructions.
