Viewing a DemonstrationA Note From the Editors

The editors at Franklin Electronic Pub-

lishers wish to note that the documents

in this book were taken word for word

from copies of original documents wher-

ever possible.

Archaic spellings and use of uppercase

were corrected to their modern versions

(for example: “... for all manner of Mynes

of Gold, Sylver, and Copper...” was cor-

rected to “...for all mines of gold, silver,

and copper...”). However, obsolete

words were not changed (for example:

“hath” remained as is, and was not

changed to “has”). The older documents

in particular contain words that are now

considered obsolete.

Likewise, many of the older documents

have no headings, sections, or para-

graphs. In order to make them easier to

read, we added sections where appro-

priate for those documents.

Brackets were used to show where any

word or section heading was added, or

any word was edited (except for spelling

and case).

Before you start using your new

BOOKMAN, you may want to see a

brief demonstration of what it can do.

When a book card is installed in your

BOOKMAN, simply select

View Demo

from the Setup menu to view the demo.

When a book card is not installed in your

BOOKMAN, the demonstration will au-

tomatically appear after you turn the unit

on. To stop the demonstration, press

CLEAR

. To disable it, press

and then

select

Disable Demo

from the Setup

menu. To re-enable it, select

Enable

➤ Help is Always at Hand

You can view a help message at

virtually any screen by pressing

HELP

. Press the direction keys to

read it. To exit help, press

BACK

If you want to read a tutorial, select

Tutorial

from the Setup menu.

➤ Follow the Arrows

The flashing arrows on the right of

the screen show which arrow keys

you can press to move around

menus or to view more text.
