Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
The American Naturist Hypertext Guide - 2nd Edition Update 1/93
(Shareware Version) is a result of several years of information
gathering about naturist and nudist organizations in the United
States. Basic information about clubs, groups, SIGs, and other social
outlets for the naturist lifestyle has been maintained in a computer
database, and is now shared with those interested in a form of
communication know as 'hypertext.'

Hypertext enables the reader to easily move around the entire guide
and locate information quickly. Hypertext can be mastered with little
or no computer knowledge.

Naturist organizations are presented in this guide in a similar
fashion as one would find on a business card; names, addresses, phone
numbers, and names of persons to contact. In addition, categories are
provided to give a better understanding as to the focus of the
contact, brief membership information listed, newsletter name and
publishing period where applicable, and known affiliations with
national naturist organizations listed.


The Software
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The American Naturist Hypertext Guide - 2nd Edition comes in two
versions; the Shareware Version and the Retail Version.

The Shareware Version contains a total of 121 naturist & nudist
associations, clubs, and resorts.

The Retail Version contains 428 naturist & nudist associations, clubs,
and resorts as well as Special Interest Groups (SIGs), groups, bed &
breakfast, campgrounds, publications, and other recreational and
leisure interests.

On each card, you will see a menu along the top line of the screen.
Each of these menu links connects to other cards or functions.

You will also find links within the text which also connect to other
cards or functions.

These links are evident by their color. To move between them with a

it out on this card, and press ENTER to select any link. Mouse users
may move the cursor to any link and click to activate the link.

Card Topics
~~~~~~~~~~~
You can select any text on any screen to see if there any other cards
which contain the same topic. On the contact cards, the highlighted
items are the most likely to be able to be linked to other cards.
However, any text on any screen may be selected and will attempt a
match. Simply position the cursor over the word or phrase and press
ENTER. If there is a card which contains that topic, it will be
presented. In the case where there are many cards containing that
topic, you will be shown a list which you may choose from.


Searching the Cards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By pressing 'S' or selecting 'Search' from the menu, you can attempt
to find topics of your choice throughout the cards.

After selecting Search, you will be presented with a Topic Search box.
Decide if the letters you will search for will be a

        (P)refix        String entered is treated as a prefix
        (S)ubstring     String entered is treated as a substring
        (L)ast Search   A topic pick list window will pop up with the
                        cursor at the last topic searched


Printing & Exporting Cards & Text
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To print the card being displayed, press the 'P' key, or select the
PRINT menu link.

A dialog box will pop up; type in the name of the printer you would
like to print to. You have the following choices:

        PRN     The default printer
        LPT1    The printer on the LPT1 port
        LPT2    The printer on the LPT2 port

To export, or copy, the current card to a file, press the 'E' key.

A popup dialog box appear. You will be prompted for an output file
name. (A default file of savecard.txt is used.) After entering a file
name, you may press return to export the card or press ESC to cancel
the operation.


Using Bookmarks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can place a "bookmark" whenever you wish to save your place. Using
bookmarks, you can go and explore other cards, and easily return to
the card where the bookmark was placed.

To place a bookmark, simply press the 'M' key. You may place multiple
bookmarks. To go back to the last bookmark placed, press the 'B' key
(for BACK). Repeatedly pressing 'B' takes you to each bookmark you've
placed, in order of latest to earliest. Pressing the 'F' key (for
FORWARD) takes you in reverse order.

You can store up to 7 bookmarks.


Troubleshooting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IF YOU ENCOUNTER IMMEDIATE BROWSER LOCKUP, read below for some
possible reasons:

    I. Your computer is non-standard in some way in the upper
       memory area (between 640K-1MB), and causes HyperHelper's
       automatic scan of this area to lock up.

       Solution: Try using the -xh option, which will prevent
       HyperHelper from scanning the upper memory area. If you use
       this option, then you may NOT load HyperHelper into the upper
       memory area using the DOS loadhigh command.

   II. If you are using QEMM 6.0 or NetWare, and use the -lim option,
       the browser may lock up. Try using the new -limc option, (which
       moves code but not data, see V3.03a notes), which has been
       known to clear up problems with QEMM and NetWare.

  III. Your mouse driver is old, or is not a true Microsoft compatible
       driver.

       Solution: Try using the -mo- option which disables the use of
       the mouse in the browser. (Notice the dash before AND after
       "mo".) If this clears up the problem, then either use this
       option all the time, or try to update to the latest mouse
       driver you can.

MOUSE DRIVERS:

If you have a Logitech mouse with an old driver (pre-V5.0), the mouse
action will not work properly in HyperHelper. Update to V5.0 or higher
of the driver to correct the problem.

Also, the browser will lock up if you are using a TrueMouse driver,
(purportedly supplied by NorthGate.) Even though this driver is
supposed to be 100% Microsoft compatible, it apparently isn't! The
same symptoms occur with some Mouse System mouse drivers.

Try to use the latest mouse driver you can, and if at all possible,
use a true Microsoft mouse driver.

Update Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2nd Edition - Update 1/93

    *   The 3rd Edition is well on it's way to completion. A new
        hypertext system will be used which will provide more in-depth
        information about organizations as well as graphic maps, the
        ability for the reader to make notes within the book, and
        enhanced searching capabilities. The entire text will be
        revised and expanded. The new hypertext system will be easier
        to use; it features on-line help, use of the arrow keys for
        moving around, reader-configurable colors, and booksmarks.

        Originally, the release of the 3rd Edition was planned for
        January 1993. However, due to the volume of information
        Web-Man Publications is receiving from organizations all over
        the country, the release date has been pushed forward. In the
        interest of keeping readers current on information, Web-Man
        Publications has decided to update the Second Edition, which
        will be sent free of charge to all registered readers.

        None of the text for this edition has been changed; only the
        organization cards have been updated.

    *   The authors wish to thank all of the readers who have provided
        update information about organizations listed by using the
        forms found within this guide. Thanks also to the many
        organizations who have responded to our two mail-outs and
        provided information for publication. Special thanks to
        Steve Pierce who prompted the release of this update.
