If you start with the free service, you can upgrade to the paid service at any time, or you may choose to use a different provider altogether. When you open Juno, you will be able to import an existing account or create a new account if you do not already have one. You may also create or import accounts for other family members who will have access to your computer.

If you choose to subscribe to Juno's paid service, please indicate you were referred by jaustin19. Juno will mail a check for $20 that can be used to futher our work at TCPI, The Texas Center for the Physically Impaired.

There are many sites of service around the country, possibly you can find one from the telephone list that will be a local call. If you can't use the service from a local call, it is no longer free, and may be of no interest to you under these circumstances. If this is not a local call for you it will not connect until a "1" is entered in the dialing sequence. Be sure you un-check the dial "1" box when setting up the phone numbers. You will incur telephone toll charges if the call is long distance.

In this case you may not wish to use the free email service or you may prefer to subscribe with an internet service provider who offers a local connection. Please note all letters in you user id are lower case. This is an Internet thing and should be followed.

Windows programs are by design graphical where you manipulate a cursor (pointer) on the screen to point to little pictures (icons) and clicking a button on the computer mouse. The mouse is a roller device that moves the cursor on the screen. It has switches on top for "clicking" on icons.

Mail can be sent and received using the mouse or a complete mail session can be completed using only keyboard commands, which alleviates pointing on the screen. But, you still must know where you are to execute the keyboard commands, each has an underlined letter that is a substitute for clicking the mouse.

The ALT key held down at the same time as the "N" is the same as clicking on NEXT,

• ALT + W is the write command,
• ALT+R is the read,
• ALT + D is the delete command,
• ALT+Y means "yes",
• ALT+F4 closes the program with an answer of Alt+Y (YES), as well as closing windows plus an OK which is a simple return for windows31, and enter for win95/98, plus shutting down the power on the later.

When Juno opens it will present the read screen and ask if you want to check mail. If you answer "yes"(ALT+Y), then it will dial the Juno server and make a trial connection, then announce it will connect within 45 seconds. In a few seconds it will connect again and begin downloading mail. Normally this would take only a few minutes; however, they have added more advertisements and download time is increased. This is a good reason not to use this service if you are paying toll charges.

For a local call, it is a bargain even for long ads. If it is a toll charge for you it will miss-dial until a "1" is added to the dialing sequence. This will prevent unintentional toll charges.

After completing the mail download process, Juno hangs up the phone and processes mail for a short time. Then you can look at the mail. You may answer your mail by switching to WRITE (ALT+W) and typing in the email address of the recipient plus the message.

It may be one line, one word or several pages. When sent on the Internet it usually gets to a destination anywhere in the world, in a matter of three or four minutes. My address is jaustin@texoma.net, if you would let me know you have it working, I will answer all email within a day or two. When setting up your account, you will enter new telephone numbers. There are several screens where you will modify the phone setup.

If you have "call waiting" you will need to go to this screen and check that as an option. Change only those items needed to make your call. Screens may be passed over by ALT+N (NEXT). It shouldn't be necessary to reinstall the modem, it is installed now and should serve your needs as is. ALT+N past the modem setup page to get to FINISH.

A complete Juno session may be completed from the keyboard, the sequence is described for win95/98 setup. With the computer booted up tab to the Juno icon and press enter. This will open the Juno program where it asks for your login information. If you were the last person to use the service your login name(id) will be displayed, so the only entry needed will be your login password. Passwords are private, and should be something you can remember easily, something that you associate with a pet or favorite person are usually good choices. Juno will ask if you want to check your mail on the next screen, ALT+Y will send it to dialing the modem to connect with the service to check your mail.

Frequently Juno will send you a message or two, about the system or an advertising offer they make. After the mail downloads it will default to the read screen, where you can read any messages received. ALT+D will delete any message you do not wish to keep. In order to reply to a message, ALT+W will move to the WRITE screen, where you compose a message for out going mail. On these messages there is a TO: addressee space, a CC; carbon copy space, a SUBJECT: space, and the body of the email letter. TAB will move sequentially from space to space, SHIFT+TAB will move in the reverse order. When your message is ready to send, ALT+S will send the mail, but it must be preceeded by the WINDOW-EYES BYPASS which is INS-B, then ALT-S-G, to send and get mail.

For multiple replies, use ALT-S-P to put messages in the outbox, until finished composing replys. Then ALT-S-G to send all the messages. ALT-S, is the only Juno command that conflicts with W-E, so must be preceeded by the bypass command INS-B. To close the session press ALT+F4, and it will ask if you really want to quit, answer ALT+Y to close Juno and return to windows.

ALT+F4 will close most window sub-windows/menus and produce the shutdown menu. The options are Shutdown, restart, restart in dos mode or cancel. If you haven't used any of these but shutdown in the past it will be checked so enter will continue shutdown. After windows does its house keeping the message "you may turn off your computer" will appear. Turn off the power at this point even if you have changed your mind; it needs to completely shut down and restart from scratch.

I hope you enjoy your computer and find it to be useful.
