Another way to work at a desk

Article Abstract:

Keyboard or mouse commands can easily open, save or discard files. 'Robots' or macros are also provided to automate routine tasks, such as checking the amount of hard disk space available. A 232-page installation and tutorial manual, as well as a 338-page reference manual are included in the package.
