     The installation of Pro-Vote is fairly simple.  Pro-Vote should be in-
     stalled into your CMD.LST  as the command (usually VOTE) that you wish
     to assign to it. The configuration, questionnaire & display files must
     be located in the same directory as the PRO-VOTE.PPE.  A sample config
     file is explained below and must be called PRO-VOTE.CNF.

     The Poll USER NAMES  File:
     ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
     For Poll # 1 it's called NAMELIST.001, Poll # 2 is NAMELIST.002 and so
     on.  Pro-Vote appends the user's name to this file as soon as the user
     answers a particular Questionnaire/Poll so that they can't "re-answer"
     the same one.  Pro-Vote creates this file automatically for every Poll
     answered so you really don't have to worry about creating it yourself.

     Now creates a bulletin that is updated each time a poll is answered.

     Now can be used in the security specific logon files with commandline
     of L to display polls to users to show which polls there are or which
     they have/haven't answered yet.  Use as shown below for this feature.

     Now has a SysOp maintenance module (MAINT.PPE)!!  Just drop it in the
     same dir as PRO-VOTE.PPE and you're set.  Make sure you add the names
     of those users, including you,  that you want to have access to this.
