BEGINNING THE SAMPLE SESSION
During most of the sample session, you will be working with sample
data involving Mr. Edwin Raymond’s catering firm, Bon Appetit.
You will be using DeskMate on Edwin’s behalf. The sample session
is divided into mini-sessions, each covering
a different application
or subfunction.
Before you try out some of DeskMate’s features, make backups
(duplicates) of the DeskMate Program Diskette.
Never run DeskMate
with the original Program Diskette-use it
only for making work-
ing copies. Use the backups when you want to run DeskMate. (See
“Making Backups of Non-System Diskettes.”)

DeskMate Diskette and type
