Consultant's ease of use is due mainly to a beautifully designed interface that is unlike anything previously seen in a PIM. Users may choose from multiple window textures such as "Wood", "Parchment" and "Shimmer." Consultant provides three levels of on-line help to immediately answer any questions a user might have: 1) A context sensitive help system called RealHelp; 2) An on-line agent that offers hints called QuickTips; and 3) A comprehensive on-line help system called Consultant Help. Consultant offers more features than any other PIM available for the Macintosh. It includes Day, Week, Multiday, Month, Year, List, Gantt, Journal and Memo views. It's even smart enough to understand English phrases. If the user types "Meet Heidi tomorrow at noon regarding the proposal," Consultant will schedule the appointment and automatically link Heidi's contact information. If there's a scheduling conflict, Consultant will alert the user and suggest alternate times. Not only does it understand English phrases, Consultant can even speak out loud, notifying the user of important appointments. Consultant is Internet-savvy. Users can launch their favorite e-mail program or browser directly from Consultant. The times of all phone calls and e-mail messages are automatically logged for future reference. In office environments, Consultant allows multiple users to access a single shared data file over a network; each user maintains their own password-protected account. Consultant sports a built-in word processor that can be used to generate custom reports, mail-merges, envelopes, labels, fax cover sheets, address books, etc. Consultant includes two system extensions that allow the user to access their schedule and favorite contacts from the menu bar and receive alarm notifications even when Consultant isn't running. Consultant also comes standard with a companion program, MiniConsultant, whose simple, one-window interface and smaller memory requirements allow the user to quickly schedule appointments and access contacts. Chronos believes users should have the opportunity to try the software for free before they buy. Consultant and a 250-page reference manual are available for electronic download from Chronos' website at www.chronosnet.com. The software may be registered on-line for $39.95. Chronos also offers Consultant on CD with a 90-page printed user manual for $49.95. Palm Pilot synchronization for Consultant is coming soon.

Constantine) Subject: LaserWriter Paper Size defaults (A copy of this message has also been posted to the following newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.hardware, comp.sys.mac.system) Anyone know how to get the laser writer paper size to STAY at US LETTER instead of always defaulting to US LETTER SMALL? I tried the Apple Printer Utility, but it just has settings for LETTER. No size variants. Anyway of removing or defaulting the printer to the proper size? This is extremely annoying and has caused me grief in the past. I had to print my Tax return twice because of this. The SMALL size cuts off a bunch of text. Once I figured out what the problem was, I fixed it. But it's extremly annoying to have to try and remember to change this whenever I print. Any help is appreciated. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Carl B.

I am running System 8.1 on a 7300 PowerMac, with netscape Communicator 4.05. I hve been trying out the email system, Messenger, and have run into the following problem. When I receive a message, like info-mac, that contains quotations from received messages, those quotations are omitted. All I see is a blank space where the quotation should be and then the reply. So am I doing something wrong? Is there a box somewhere I should check? I hve been through the preferences but nothing seems to help. Even mysteriouser - I can see those quotations if I click on the "Reply" button. The Reply window opens, and the email I received is duplicated in the Reply window, TOGETHER WITH those missing quotations! Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?
