User Guide

  Start Up:

  When the program is started for the first time, you should
enter the description of your vehicle and the current odometer
reading. This process will create the mpg.dat file. WARNING:
Even though the mpg.dat file is just a text file, I don't
recommend that you edit this file. Let the program do it!
After entering a lot of fill-up data, editing this file
separately could mess up the accuracy of the "Totals" data.


  General:

  The program uses the function keys, number keys, menu key
and the arrow keys and has the look and feel of the built-in
applications.


F1: 'Help'     A small Helpfile
F2: 'Totals'   A window showing the total data calculated.
F3: 'Fillup'   Press this when you fill you tank.
F4: 'Service'  Press this to record the odometer reading
               when service is performed.
