    ^1Play-A-Melody^0 is an easy to use program for playing songs created 
 with Make-A-Melody.  In a jukebox-like fashion, Play-A-Melody displays a list 
 of song titles in alphabetical order.  You select which songs to play and the 
 sequence in which they are to be played.  
 

^CSELECTING A SONG

    Move the highlight box over a song title and press <ENTER>.  The 
 program will immediately load and play the song you have selected.  Once the 
 song begins to play, pressing <ESC> will stop play and allow you to select 
 another song or exit the program. 
 

^CSELECTING MULTIPLE SONGS
 
     Move the highlight box over the song title and press <F2>.  You will 
 notice that a number is placed to the left of the song title.  This number 
 represents the order in which the song will be played within the list of 
 songs.  Continue selecting songs by moving the highlight box over titles 
 and pressing <F2>.  If you wish to remove a song from the list, move the 
 highlight box over the title and press <F2>.  The song will be removed from 
 the list and all songs following will be renumbered to reflect the new order.  
 Press <F3> and all selected songs will be removed from the list. 
 
    Once you have selected all the songs you wish to play, press <ENTER>.  
 Play-A-Melody will begin playing the songs in the list.  If you wish to stop 
 play of a particular song, press <ESC> while that song is playing.  Play will 
 be stopped and the next song in the list will start.  Press <F4> and play of 
 the entire list will be aborted. 


^CLEAVING PLAY-A-MELODY

    You may exit Play-A-Melody by pressing <ESC>.  If you are currently playing 
 a song or a list of songs, stop play and then press <ESC> to exit the program.


^CGENERAL NOTES

    If there aren't any music files in the current directory, Play-A-Melody 
 will display "No Music Files Found" and prompt you to enter a new path.  
 Once Play-A-Melody is running, you can change the path by pressing <F10> and 
 specifying a new location for the program to look for music files.  

    Play-A-Melody is equipped to detect computers with monochrome monitors 
 and automatically compensate.  Should the program fail to detect this type of 
 system, tell it you have a monochrome monitor by typing ^1PAM M^0 at the DOS 
 prompt.  Big Blue Disk users, type ^1GO M^0 at the DOS prompt. 
 
    To run this program outside ^1Big Blue Disk^0, type:  ^1PAM^0.
