Using Laptop Manager

Quick Commands Box

Application programs you add to the Quick Commands box can be selected by pressing
the function key (F1 to F11) you assign to it. For your convenience, the Laptop File
Manager and several other utilities are assigned to the function keys. However, you can
replace them with your own application programs using the Change Menu procedure
explained in the BatteryPro & Productivity Software User's Manual.

Pressing the F1 key displays the Utilities Description help displays described in Chapter 3
of this manual. You also can view an MS-DOS help display by typing DOSHELP at the
C:\> prompt and pressing the Enter key.

Press the P key and Laptop Manager displays a prompt at the bottom of
the screen at which you can change drives and/or directories. For
