I'm sorry about the lack of clarity. I'll try to explain it again: a template is any file from which you want to derive other files. This program provides ways to add templates to its database and organize the files by groups. The DOS version gives aliases to the filenames for better readability and provides group names to narrow down a search, and the Windows one organizes the files by two group levels as subfolders of the main template folder. Adding a file to the database is easy for the Windows version: simply right-click a file to add, point to SendTo and click Add Template. You can specify the name of the template as added and up to two grouping levels. If you specify a group that doesn't already exist, it will be creates. The DOS version is a little harder: type "tmpcreat" at the DOS prompt, click Add..., under Type, click Template, then fill in the boxes below it. Temp Name is the long name of the template to add, Temp File is the DOS name to give the file without the extension, and Load File is the path and filename of the file to add. Clicking Load will provide a dialog box to make easier the file-hunting. Then click Add. The DOS version requires you to associate a file type and create the groups. This can be done from the Add button in the main dialog box. The Windows version also requires you to associate file types. An icon is placed on the desktop to run the program that writes the association to the Registry. After that, the ShellNew menu can create the new files. To create new files with the DOS version, run the program and click "Create." Is this helpful?
