How to Use ========= 1. Dialing: --------------- To be able to use this program the user's telephone must be connected to a modem. Custom program configuration is available in the "Tools" menu. You can type the phone number in any format you wish, all formats are acceptable, for example: (###) ###-### or ############# or ##.###.#### and letters 1-800-PIZZA If you have a USRobotics or any Hayes compatible modem you may want to insert Pauses, between numbers you dial. This is specially useful if you are calling a place, requiring you to punch in additional numbers (for instance, a phone card, an extension number or account number). The character for Pause is "," and each "," creates a delay of 2 seconds. For example, if you want to call your bank (111)-222 3333 and talk to a person at extension number 555 you would dial like this: (111)-222 3333,,,555 In this example the total delay is 6 seconds.
