TIP DISK INSTRUCTIONS --------------------- To access these Tip Disk programs, type "RUNN" (with two N's). When the Catalog appears, press any key to continue searching, or press Return to select one of the programs on the screen. Now type the letter of the program you wish to Run. Of course, all of the programs may also be accessed with normal DOS commands- RUN, LOAD, etc. These programs are intended to teach, so please LIST them, change them, and learn. Have fun!
