     This is a full featured and completely configurable replacement for
 pcboard's internal enter message command.  It will handle all aspects of
 entering messages in an intelligent and efficient mannor.  The program will
 read your conference data and only prompt necessary questions, in a clean
 lightbar format.  A built in AddressBook will allow each user to maintain
 their own personal email addresses and use them when appropriate. 

     A key feature of this program is its ability to act intelligently
 as to YOUR system configuration.  Before a message is entered, the program
 will read in the current conference configuration.  It will then only prompt
 the user for input that is necessary, and nothing more.  For example, it
 will first check conference data to see if private and public messages are
 allowed, and if so then prompt (with lightbars) what the user would like.
 Let's say they choose private, then the program will check your conference
 configuration to see if you allow return receipts.  If so, then it will
 check the minimum security, compare it, and if a return receipt is allowed
 in this circumstance, then that lightbar prompt will appear and allow the
 user to make their decision.  It will then detect if the conference allows
 echomail, and so on.  As you can see, this program will take a look at your
 system configuration and conform itself in a neat and efficient mannor.  No
 more mindless guessing and hopeless keyboard stuffing!

     Another key feature of this program is the built in AddressBook.
 At the message 'To:' prompt, a simple hit of the 'TAB' key will load the
 user's personal Email AddressBook.  They may define shorthand names for
 long Internet style Email Addresses, and then be able to simply enter
 that shorthand name at the 'To:' prompt to call up that Address.  This 
 makes Netmail very easy and efficient.  In the AddressBook editor, the
 user may Add, Delete, or Select an entry.  All the data that they enter
 will be saved in Database III+ format, for fast and efficient manipulation.
 Not only will this built in personal AddressBook elimate all need for a
 seperate AddressBook program, but it will make Netmail and Echomail writing 
 fast and easy!

     All features of this program are fully configurable.  Just by the 
 nature of this program, all default settings will work on any system!  All
 I can do is urge you to try this out, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

     Simply add the path and name of the PPE in your CMD.LST (found within
 PCBSetup), and you should be set. 

 For further configurability, the following files may be edited:

     EENTER.COL - Defines the color scheme and Ansi Positions of prompts.
     EENTER.CFG - Defines various text found within the program.
     EENTER.PCB - The backround Ansi for the Enter Message screen.
     EENTER.TOP - The header Ansi for the AddressBook screen.
     EENTER.BOT - The footer Ansi for the AddressBook screen.

     Be sure to unzip with the -d option.

     I made use of DBase III+ routines in this program, and I personally
 would like to suggest that all programmers take a look DBase if they
 have not already.  It makes data manipulation very fast, easy, and
 efficient.

     I encourage any suggestions or criticisms you may have about this
 program.  In fact, I really look forward to user input on my programs
 so I can learn what could be better, or what was appreciated.  Contact
 me on my system Nuclear Insemination, or catch me on the net.

     Greets out to all my friends, and especially to Drew, The Blue Adept, 
 Bleeding, Viper Krynn, Dupree, Boot Knocka, Warmaster, Mercy, Satan, Doson,
 Felix, Acidburn, Lolo, Prophet, Spectrum, White Cracker, and Perfect Order.
