software books listed below. You can order any of these books by calling your VAR.

Here’s an idea of what to look at next:

"I Want to Start at the Beginning"

If you have never used a computer before, we recommend you read the

AMOS User’s

Guide

. This book is a practical introduction to the Alpha Micro computer, containing

instructions for many of the procedures you’ll use every day. It expands on many of the

topics discussed in Chapter 3.

"I Want to Learn How to Maintain My Computer"

If you are going to be responsible for making data backups, adding new terminals or

printers to the computer, running disk diagnostics, and otherwise managing and

maintaining the computer, we highly recommend you read the

System Operator’s

Guide

, and obtain a copy of the

System Commands Reference Manual

The first book explains how to perform the maintenance and diagnostic procedures

required by the Alpha Micro system software. The second book will prove an invaluable

reference tool— it contains short reference sheets on over 200 AMOS programs.

"I Want to Do Text Processing"

If you want to use your computer to prepare documents, there are several books you

should look at:

The

AlphaVUE User’s Manual

for information on the AlphaVUE screen-oriented text

editor; the

TXTFMT User’s Manual

for information on the TXTFMT text formatting

program; and the

AlphaVUE/TXTFMT Training Guide

, a tutorial on document

preparation for the computer novice.

Although AlphaVUE and TXTFMT are the text processing programs included with the

standard AMOS software, you may want to investigate the other word processing

packages your VAR has available for your computer, such as AlphaWRITE.

"I Want to Write Computer Programs"

If you have programmed in BASIC before, and want to learn how to use the

AlphaBASIC programming language, refer to the

AlphaBASIC User’s Manual

. For

AMOS releases 2.1 or later, you may also want to see the

AlphaBASIC Plus User’s

Manual

for information on the enhanced AlphaBASIC Plus programming language.
