         SYMBOL CONVENTIONS 

It can be helpful to make up a personal code system.  For example, let's say you want to make it easy to get together all your notes requiring some action.  If you put, say a "*", in each action note you can search for "*" to collect those notes.  (You could also just use "TODO").  Here is a list of possible conventions: 

* action
@ long term reference
\ short term reference
*c contact to follow up
*s something suzie has to do

SUPER GIFT
After you see how useful Tornado Notes is for yourself, consider ordering for your friends and associates.  It is the type of gift that is appreciated for a long time.  If you are using Tornado Notes at work why not recommend that all PC users benefit from this new productivity tool.

MEMORY USAGE
You can reduce the RAM used by Tornado Notes substantially.  You are now using a generous 20K note buffer.  You can use as little as 5K if you prefer.  Soon you will be able to load without the beginner help screens and save more memory.   The minimum configuration is about 60k.

EFFICIENCY
For slightly involved reasons, 
the width of this note is usually best.  Tall notes use screen space more effectively than wide ones.

         SAVING YOUR NOTES

IMPORTANT: Whenever you add notes, change notes, remove notes or make any adjustments ... the changes are NOT permanent until you request that everything be put on to a floppy or hard disk.  Periodically, and especially before turning off your machine you must save your work onto disk by typing D S (Disk Save).  (DON'T do this now because you don't want to alter this set of notes.)
58 16 4
Here are some basic functions.  There is no need to try these commands now, but you can look them over.  

ß Press F1 to cycle thru 3 help modes.
ß Use the <Esc> key to cancel a mode.
ß To add a new note press N; type anything; press <Esc>;
  adjust shape via arrows if desired; press <Esc> again. 
ß To browse down thru the pile of notes to find underlying
  notes use the down arrow; to browse up use the up arrow.
  Try down, up, down, up several times to see how it
  works.  Keep your eye on the highlighted window.

The main menu (the box with the thick border) moves as you browse thru notes.  To avoid this distraction, press the <F1> key enough times to turn the menu off.  You can turn the menu back on with <F1> later.
58 13 4
BUT MY COMPUTER IS NOT USUALLY ON ...
Some new users say, "my computer is only on some of the time, so I can't use Tornado Notes."  The answer quite simply is, "so, leave it on."  Then you might reply, "why should I leave my expensive machine on just for a few seconds of use here and there."  The answer is that you will end up using Tornado Notes not for seconds - but hours.  It will become the focus point for everything you do.  Also, computers are built for continuous operation.  "But moving my machine to my main desk takes up too much space."  Actually, the space taken is more than compensated for by the paper Tornado Notes clears away!  Try it - you will be glad you did.
38 12 4
START WITH BASICS
Instead of trying to learn everything at once, you can start benefiting from Tornado Notes by using the basic commands right away.  All you need to get started are a few of the commands from the main menu and the commands Disk-Save (D S).  The built-in editor uses the natural keyboard - there are no control codes or function keys to learn.  You can leave the advanced features until later.
18 10 4
If your computer is not located on your main desk we recommend putting it there.  This will have a significant effect on how you benefit from Tornado Notes.

     Welcome to a quick tour of
           TORNADO NOTES

You are now looking at a collection of notes we typed in to help you learn some of the basics of Tornado Notes.  
Please do not be intimidated by all the information in front of you - you will soon see the benefits of a filled screen.
