	For DOS TSR Program:

	     To activate the TSR program, simply hold down 'Alt' key, the 'Shift'
	     key on the left keyboard, then press a third key.  These keys are
	     the Hot Keys.  For example, to bring up the HELP screen, press:

			-----  -----------  -----
			|Alt|  |LeftShift|  | H |
			-----  -----------  -----

	     The HELP screen pops up and shows you all the options provided by
	     this program.

	     When TSR is activated by Hot Keys, it displays two characters at
	     the upper left corner of the screen for one second as
	     acknowledgement.  The acknowledgements are:

		    For 1-in-2-out mode:
	      +-------------------------------+----------------------------+
	      |   Acknowledgement & Hot Keys  |          Function          |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | PA  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [A]  |       Link to Port A       |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | PA  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [1]  |       Link to Port A       |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | PB  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [B]  |       Link to Port B       |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | PB  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [2]  |       Link to Port B       |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | Br  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [X]  |       Broadcast Mode       |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | Br  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [C]  |       Broadcast Mode       |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+

		    For 2-in-1-out mode:
	      +-------------------------------+----------------------------+
	      |   Acknowledgement & Hot Keys  |          Function          |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | LE  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [L]  |    File Transfer Enable    |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | LE  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [E]  |    File Transfer Enable    |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | UD  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [U]  |    File Transfer Disable   |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+
	      | UD  |   [Alt][LeftShift] [D]  |    File Transfer Disable   |
	      +-----+-------------------------+----------------------------+

	  Note: The two-character acknowledgement is effective in TEXT mode
		only.

	     To select Port 'A', press:

			-----  -----------  -----
			|Alt|  |LeftShift|  | A |
			-----  -----------  -----
				or
			-----  -----------  -----
			|Alt|  |LeftShift|  | 1 |
			-----  -----------  -----

	     'PA' should appear at the upper-left corner for one second.  

	     If the Hot Keys coincide with other TSR program's, you may hold
	     down a 'Ctrl' key along with an 'Alt' key and the left 'Shift' key
	     to resolve Hot Keys conflict.  For example:

			-----  -----------  ------  -----
			|Alt|  |LeftShift|  |Ctrl|  | A |
			-----  -----------  ------  -----
				 or
			-----  -----------  ------  -----
			|Alt|  |LeftShift|  |Ctrl|  | 1 |
			-----  -----------  ------  -----
