Valet is a software package that allows you to temporarily interrupt a
program to perform other functions and then return directly to the
program that was interrupted.
Valet functions range from simply displaying the date and time of day to
performing complex mathematical calculations. When the Valet function is
complete, a single keystroke returns you to the interrupted program •
immediately.
How might you use this? Say you're working on a report using WordStar-
Plus and need to figure some 'percentages for inclusion in the report.
You can quickly switch to Valet's calculator, make the required
calculations, and just as quickly return to your report.
Continuing with this example, after you make the calculations and return
to WordStar-Plus, you could type in a table based on your calculations
and then use Valet's screen dump to print what is displayed on the
screen.
When the printout is complete, you can instantly return to WordStar-Plus
with the cursor at the point of interruption in your report, just as
though you had never left the program.
If you are writing your report and also trying to maintain your schedule,
you can use Valet's alarm function to schedule alarms that will sound at
specif ied times with messages to remind you of meetings or other
obligations.
Valet·s ·Set-Up Mode· functions are described on the top row of the
keyboard template and displayed on the screen when
you
press CTRL and ESC
simultaneously.
You may then press the appropriate number key for your desired function
or press ESC again to return to what
you
were doing before activating
Set-Up Mode.
Valet·s ·Main Menu· functions are accessed while in Set-Up Mode by
pressing the TAB key. The Main Menu displays options for using the
calculator, alarms, printer installation, and screen dump functions. You
can also bypass this menu and go directly from Set-up Mode to the desired
Valet functIon.
The interrupted program remains on the screen when Valet is being used.
When you are finished with the Valet function, Attache returns directly
to the interrupted program.
