TIPS FOR QUICK STARTUP


     After downloading the installation program, use  Windows Explorer  and 
     double-click on  the file  you just  downloaded.  Follow the on-screen 
     instructions.  Double-click on  the AstrAstr  icon to  start AstrAstr. 
     Read  the  information  in  the  introduction  window,  then  click on 
     'Continue' to remove the window.

     You will now see three windows, the Natal Input Data window, the Names 
     window, and the Diurnal Input Data  window.  Click  on a  name in  the 
     Names window.  The birth data for that name appears in the Natal Input 
     Data window.  You may change this data or enter data  for a  different 
     person.  The Diurnal Input Data window  is for  entering the  data for 
     transits or progressions or the birth data for another individual.  If 
     the '2nd Person' box is checked in the Diurnal Input Data window, then 
     clicking on a name in the Names window will make  that person's  birth 
     data appear  in the  Diurnal Input  Data window.   This allows  you to 
     compare one person's horoscope  with another.   Data entered  into the 
     Natal Input Data window can be saved to file by clicking on  the 'Save 
     to Disk' command button.  You will be given a choice as to  which data 
     file you want the data saved.

     When you are satisfied with your data entry, click on  the OK  command 
     button to  start the  calculations. Shortly,  the natal  data for  the 
     person whose data is entered into the Natal Input Data  window appears 
     in the Data window. All data and help information will appear in  this 
     window. Whatever appears in this window or has appeared in this window 
     since a new chart was calculated  can be  printed to  your printer  or 
     saved to a disk file. Click on HELP - DATA WINDOW for more information 
     about the DATA window.

     Additional data is displayed  in the  Data window  by clicking  on the 
     DATA menu item in the main AstrAstr window. Select the  data you  want 
     displayed from amongst the  menu item  choices. Go  through each  menu 
     item and see what data that menu item presents. You  can always  click 
     on HELP for more information.

     Various types of chartwheels can be displayed by  clicking on  WHEELS. 
     After displaying the chartwheel, you may view a listing of  aspects in 
     a  separate  window,  change  the orbs  for those  aspects, print  the 
     chartwheel in either full or half  page format,  or view  a chartwheel 
     with proportional or non-proportional  houses.  Go  through each  menu 
     item and see for yourself. In addition you may add or subtract various 
     time lengths to the displayed chart by clicking on UPDATE.

     A natal report analysis or a transit report analysis may  be generated 
     by clicking on the REPORTS menu item. You may print the analysis  to a 
     printer or save it to a file.  Page up and down the report by clicking 
     on the appropriate command button.  The  HOME, END,  PAGE UP  and PAGE 
     DOWN keys also navigate you through the on-screen analysis.

     Change program parameters by selecting the OPTIONS SETTINGS  menu item 
     in the main AstrAstr window.  Edit the options text box  as you  would 
     if you were in NotePad or any other Windows text  editing application.  
     Please review options #18  - #24  and change  the settings  to reflect 
     your current location. Click on SAVE to save  your changes.   Click on 
     QUIT to exit the options window.

     The  HEADER  menu  item  allows  you   to  change   your  personalized 
     information for the generated analysis and the chartwheel.

     Help is available at any time by clicking on the HELP menu item in the 
     AstrAstr  window,  then clicking  on the  topic of  interest. NOTE:  I 
     suggest you at least look at all the HINTS under HELP. Plus, check out 
     the TIP OF THE DAY feature under HELP - TIP OF THE DAY.

     Experiment with AstrAstr. It will not take long for you  to become  an 
     expert user. Thank you.
