|     If you are not familiar with    |
| Apple's ProDOS and the unique way   |
| that it can organize files, we      |
| suggest that you that you choose the|
| Easy File system. The Easy File     |
| system uses the File menu features  |
| Format Disk, Load, Save, and Delete.|
| Let's start by looking at how you   |
| format a disk.                      |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Easy File - Format Disk             |
|                                     |
|     Before you can save a drawing,  |
| you must prepare a disk to recieve  |
| information from the computer. This |
| is called "formatting your disk".   |
|                                     |
|     You should have either a black  |
| disk or one with data on it that you|
| no longer want. Whenever you format |
| a disk that's already been used, all|
| the information on it will be       |
| erased.                             |
|                                     |
|     Here's how to format a disk:    |
|                                     |
|     1. Select Format Disk from the  |
|        File menu.                   |
|                                     |
|     2. A dialogue box will appear on|
|        the screen.                  |
|                                     |
|     3. Remove the Dazzle Draw       |
|        program disk and put the disk|
|        you want ot format into the  |
|        start-up disk drive.         |
|                                     |
|     4. Dazzle Draw automatically    |
|        names you disk for you.      |
|                                     |
|     5. If Dazzle Draw finds         |
|        information on the disk you  |
|        are formatting, you must     |
|        confirm that you really want |
|        to format the disk by        |
|        clicking Okay. Remember, if  |
|        you format a disk with       |
|        information on it, you'll    |
|        erase everything on the disk.|
|                                     |
|     6. When the formatting is       |
|        complete, the dialogue box   |
|        should disappear. Then you're|
|        ready to save your drawing.  |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Easy File - Save                    |
|                                     |

|        Section, you will be saving  |
|        the section currently on the |
|        clipboard.                   |
|                                     |
|     3. A catalog will appear in the |

|                                     |
|     4. Type in the name. If you are |
|        re-saving a file already     |
|        listed, click ovr the name.  |

| Professional File - Format Disk     |
|                                     |
|     Before you can save a drawing,  |
| you should have either a black disk |
| or one with data on it that you no  |
| longer want. Whenever you format a  |
| disk tat has already been used, all |
| the information on it will be       |
| erased.                             |
|                                     |
|     The first step is to format your|
| disk. Formatting prepares the blank |
| disk to recieve information fom the |
| computer. Here's how:               |
|                                     |
|     1. Select Format Disk from the  |
|        File menu.                   |
|                                     |
|     2. A dialogue box will appear on|
|        the screen.                  |
|                                     |
|     3. Remove the Dazzle Draw       |
|        program disk and put the disk|
|        you want to format into the  |
|        start-up disk drive.         |
|                                     |
|     4. Type in a name for your disk |
|        by following the rules for   |
|        naming disks and files       |
|        described below.             |
|                                     |
|     5. If Dazzle Draw finds         |
|        information on the disk you  |
|        are formatting, you must     |
|        confirm tht you really want  |
|        to format the disk by        |
|        clicking Okay. Remember, if  |
|        you format a disk with       |
|        information on it, you'll    |
|        erase everthing on the disk! |
|                                     |
|     6. When the formatting is       |
|        completed, the dialogue box  |
|        will disappear. Then you're  |
|        ready to save you drawing.   |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Rules for Naming Disks and Files    |
|                                     |
|     1. Disk names must begin with a |
|        slash followed by a letter.  |
|        File names must begin with a |
|        letter.                      |
|                                     |
|     2. Use only letters, numbers, or|
|        periods, seperately or       |
|        combined.                    |
|                                     |
|     3. Do not use any spaces or     |
|        punctuation characters other |
|        than periods.                |
|                                     |
|     4. Do not use more than 15      |
|        characters.                  |
|                                     |
|     5. Use a differenct name for    |
|        each disk, so you (and Dazzle|
|        Draw) can tell them apart.   |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Professional File/ProDOS - Save     |
|                                     |
|     The Save feature takes you      |
| through the steps for saving a      |
| drawing onto a formatted disk.      |
| Here's how you do it:               |
|                                     |
|     1. Select Save from the File    |
|        menu.                        |
|                                     |
|     2. Select Picture, Section or   |
|        Pattern (set of patterns)    |
|        from the dialogue box,       |
|        depending on what you want to|
|        save. If you select Section, |
|        you will be saving the       |
|        section currently on the     |
|        clipboard.                   |
|                                     |
|     3. If you want to change the    |
|        default value of the prefix, |
|        click over Prefix, click over|
|        Prefix, type in a new name,  |
|        and activate Okay or press   |
|        return.                      |
|                                     |
|     4. Click On Line if you wantto  |
|        save the drawing onto a disk |
|        that is in another drive.    |
|        This will tell you the names |
|        of the disks in the drives.  |
|                                     |
|     5. The next step is changing the|
|        prefix. Use Prefix to set the|
|        ProDOS prefix to the name of |
|        the disk you want to use.    |
|                                     |
|     6. Click over Okay.             |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Professional File/ProDOS - Load     |
|                                     |
|     With Load, you can call up a    |
| picture from a disk. Here's how:    |
|                                     |
|     1. Select Load from the File    |
|        menu.                        |
|                                     |
|     2. Check the directory to find  |
|        the file you want.           |
|                                     |
|     3. Move the cursor to the name  |
|        of the file you want and     |
|        click the mouse. The name    |
|        will appear on the first     |
|        line.                        |
|                                     |
|     4. Click over Okay or press     |
|        return. The picture will     |
|        appear on your screen.       |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Professional File/ProDOS - Delete   |
|                                     |
|     Delete lets you erase old file  |
| from a disk to make room for new    |
| ones. Here's how you do it:         |
|                                     |
|     1. Select Delete from the File  |
|        menu.                        |
|                                     |
|     2. Check the directory for the  |
|        name of the file you want to |
|        erase, then highlight the    |
|        name by clicking the mouse   |
|        over it.                     |
|                                     |
|     3. When the file name appears on|
|        the top line, click the Okay.|
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Professional File/ProDOS - Directory|
|                                     |
|     Make Directory gives you the    |
| option of organizing your disk files|
| into categories or subdivisions. For|
| Example, you might want to file all |
| seascapes or patterns or portraits  |
| together. This feature makes it     |
| easier to locate files. If you want |
| to create multi-level categories,   |
| you should make a directory before  |
| you save your drawings.             |
|                                     |
|     For example, let's say you want |
| to create a subdirectory called     |
| "Pictures" to distinguish pictures  |
| from patterns. Here's how you can do|
| it:                                 |
|                                     |
|     1. Select Make Directory from   |
|        the File menu.               |
|                                     |
|     2. Notice that the name of the  |
|        prefix is /DD. This stands   |
|        for "Dazzle Draw." You should|
|        never assign the Dazzle Draw |
|        disk name to your own data   |
|        disks. When you format a     |
|        disk, use a different name   |
|        like "/DD.2".                |
|                                     |
|     3. To create a new directory,   |
|        type "Pictures" and click    |
|        over Okay. Your new category |
|        will now be filed away in the|
|        disk directory.              |
|                                     |
|     4. To file pictures under       |
|        "Pictures," change the name  |
|        of the Prefix. To do so,     |
|        click over Prefix, and then  |
|        over "Pictures" in the disk  |
|        directory.                   |
|                                     |
|     5. Click over Okay or press     |
|        return. Notice the Prefix on |
|        the second line is now       |
|        "/DD.2/Pictures."            |
|                                     |
|     6. Next time you want to save a |
|        picture, it will             |
|        automatically be filed under |
|        "/DD.2/Pictures."            |
|                                     |

|     To produce your own Dazzle Draw |
| slide shows, you must first create a|
| special Slide Show Disk. When you're|
| done, you'll have a disk that works |
| as a self-running slide show.       |
|                                     |
|     Before you begin, you should    |
| have either a blank disk or one with|
| data you no longer want. As in      |
| formatting a used disk, whenever you|
| create a Slide Show Disk, you'll    |
| erase anything that already may have|
| been stored on the disk.            |
|                                     |
|     Here's how to create a Slide    |
| Show Disk:                          |
|                                     |
|     1. Make sure the Dazzle Draw    |
|        program disk is in the       |
|        start-up disk drive.         |
|                                     |
|     2. Select "Make Slide Disk" from|
|        the File menu.               |
|                                     |
|     3. A dialogue box will appear on|
|        the screen.                  |
|                                     |
|     4. When prompted, remove the    |
|        Dazzle Draw program disk and |
|        put the data disk you want to|
|        use into the start-up disk   |
|        drive.                       |
|                                     |
|     5. If Dazzle Draw finds         |
|        information on the disk you  |
|        are using, you will be       |
|        asked if you are sure        |
|        that you want to format the  |
|        disk                         |
