----- The FIRST time Mountain Menus is run ----------------------------------
Your hand is on the mouse.  Your finger poised.  You know you want to do it.
But before you double click on that nice new icon, at least read this section
so you can be ready for the events which WILL NOT happen the second time the 
menu runs...

IT IS ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED THAT THE FIRST PERSON TO RUN MOUNTAIN MENUS
MUST HAVE FULL RIGHTS IN THE DIRECTORY WHERE THE MENU WAS INSTALLED!!
(The menu creates several default data files at that time)

   Mountain Menus checks the Windows Registry on startup to see if its own
properties are there.  If NOT, the menu knows it is being run for the first
time. If so,you will be presented with the License Agreement from the Mountain
Menus Help file.  READ IT!, then close the help window.  Answer the 'I Agree'
Dialog Box.  If you answer NO, the menu will terminate.  Otherwise, the menu
will present you with a dialog box where you can select Program Manager Groups
which will be converted to Mountain Menus Groups.  You should select ALL since
you can always remove/delete the menu item which loads the group.

   Mountain Menus then creates a 'Main Menu' Group consisting of menu items
which open each of the converted groups. The MainMenu group, and all converted
group files are created in the Mountain Menus directory, NOT the Windows
directory. The files will be named the same as the GRP files, but have a
.MMG extension.
(again, we are trying to keep the 'clutter' in \WINDOWS to a minimum)

   Two 'WARNING' boxes pop up before the actual conversions begin.  They warn
about the possibility of 'jinxed' Program Manager .GRP files.  The GRP file
format is perhaps the most INSANE file format ever created.  While I have not
seen the problem lately, I have seen .GRP files cause the convert routine to
crash.  If this happens to you, CALL US on the toll-free line. We would like
to get a copy of the GRP file from you, if possible. (800)804-4168

	When Mountain Menus comes to 'rest' on the screen, you are ready to roll.
Press F1 for HELP any time!!! There is alot of excellent information in the
on-line help (MMW.HLP).  Believe me! What they say about programmers hating
to document their software IS TRUE!!! If it wasn't worth reading...
I wouldn't have written it !!!!!

----- The Mountain Menus Help File (MMW.HLP) --------------------------------
   Like the program itself, the help file is in a Preliminary state.  Feel
free to contact us if it reports something wrong, or fails to desribe anything
to your satisfaction.

	In fact NEVER hesitate to give us a call if you have anything constructive
to offer!!! If the program does something it shouldn't, if it doesn't do
something it should, if something just doesn't make sense... CALL!!!(or email)
