Help

This help page is not your typical HELP page found on most computer programs.

This help page is for someone who does not have widespread use of computers and who has no convenient access to the many people who do know computers. This page is for  people who although living in the digital age were born before the computer age. This HELP page is for those who have little or no knowledge, training, experience or understanding of how to navigate around a computer program.  Web author has tried to give new learners the vocabulary, terminology, the steps, the way out of pit falls that one can easily get into, as well as the confidence to keep going.  Enjoy!
