HINTS
Presented below are several hints and tips to allow you to get the
most out of MY TIME.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Create batch files to access your favorite applications, and include
My Time's 'Quick Scan' option (MT QS) in the the batch file.  This
will help you to stay aware of pending/past due events.  Your
AUTOEXEC.BAT is another good place to use the 'Quick Scan' option.
For more information on batch files refer to your DOS manual.  See
Command Line in My Time's help index for information on Quick Scan.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
In most places where the (ESC) is used you can substitute the minus
key (-).  The minus key is usually more conveniently located on the
numeric keypad.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If your print-outs are double spaced set the software linefeed
option to OFF.  This is set within the Print Menu.  The Print Menu

QUICK SCAN
The Quick Scan option will display a short summary of
all pending and past due events.  By putting this
command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT you will be notified of
any Pending/Past Due events each time your computer is
booted.  If any events are found to be pending or past
due, you are given the option of running the program.
To use, enter the following at your DOS prompt or in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

        MT QS    (ENTER)

MONOCHROME MODE
The MONO command line option forces the program into a
monochrome mode thus eliminating the use of colors.
Normally, MY TIME will detect the type of video card in
your computer and adjust the colors accordingly.
However, if you are using a color card (CGA, EGA or
VGA) and a monochrome monitor, MY TIME will attempt to
display colors.  This may be difficult to read.  To
override the auto-detect and force the program into a
monochrome mode, start MY TIME as such:

        MT MONO    (ENTER)

The -P: command line option prints the events for a
specified day.  Usage:

   MT -P:[options]:[mo-da-year]    (ENTER)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
      -P: The printer switch (always required for
          this option).

[options] The parts of the report you desire to print.
          The choices are 't','d','r', any combination
          of the three or none at all.  't' prints the
          event's time, 'd' prints the event's
          duration, 'r' prints the event's recurring
          status.  Description always prints by
          default.  If no other switches are set, only
          the description will print.

COMMAND LINE PRINT pg. 2 of 2
[mo-da-year] Is the day for which the events will be printed.
             The date's validity is checked, therefore dates such
             as 13-33-1890 are disallowed.  Also, the fields must
             be the same length as shown.  For example,
             01-01-1990 is acceptable while 1-1-1990 is not.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Examples:

MT -p:              Prints description for today's events.
MT -p:12-31-1991    Prints description for 12-31-1991's events.
MT -p:tdr           Prints time, duration, recurring status
                      and description for today's events.

MT -p:t:01-01-1992  Prints time and description for 1-1-1992

    This prints a report similar to the 'MT QS' command line
    option.  It will print a short summary of all pending and past

    Days, if positive, is the number of days until the event
    happens or, if negative, the number of days past due.

- Reconfigure print-out
    This option allows you to specify what information is printed
    with 'Print highlighted day's events'.  The event's starting
    time, duration and recurring status can be toggled on or off.

- Software linefeed
    Some printers automatically append a linefeed to each carriage
    return received.  When 'Software linefeed' is toggled ON, the
    software sends a linefeed also.  This will cause the print-out
    to be double spaced.  If your print-out is double spaced,
    set 'Software linefeed' to OFF, otherwise set it to ON.

in the State field and '8' in the Phone Number field would
display each entry whose last name began with 'Jo', phone number
began with '8' and whose state matched 'AL' (Alabama).  All other
fields are ignored in this search.  From the Dialer screen you

DISK SPACE WARNING
The amount of free disk space is getting low.  The warning level
was selected to allow you sufficient time to make adjustments.

If this warning is ignored and you continue to add new data, the
disk will fill up.  It is likely that when the disks becomes
full you will lose the data you are attempting to save.

To avoid this problem you should perform disk maintenance to free
up additional space.  If you are running MY TIME on a floppy disk
you should copy seldom used phone directories (.DPL files) and
lists (.DLS files) to another disk and delete them from the
current disk.
