Selecting something in OS-98:
Simply click anywhere on the name of the item.  Except for the fast links, the only way you can run these is to click on the number.

To add a program to OS-98:
One good way is to look at prgmOS98P.  there's an example of how to add programs to the lists.  But the lists can only hold a certain amount of items (7 is the max.) so if you go over that, you'll have to create a new menu.  (look in the manual if you don't know how).

Shutdowns:
1. The start menu shutdown.
2.  If the calc. is left on for over five minutes untouched, it will go into a automatic shutdown.  When you turn it back on, it'll be exactly where you left it.

Letter from the maker:
Hi,
   I'm pleased that you chose Fenrir Software's OS-98 for your operating system.  I hope that you enjoy this product from my Software company and will continue to watch us grow in both staff and programs.  This is the fastest OS ever made by Fenrir Software and I don't think it can get any faster than this, Not even with ASM.
Many thanks,
Kyle Symonds (founder and president of Fenrir Software)
