This is the user directory for the gift certificate printing system. 
Included is a sample login command file. Once the CERTIFICATES command 
has been set (be sure to modify CERT.CLD to point to the right image), 
the program may be invoked using it...

	   COMMAND SYNTAX:

	CERTIFICATES

	Command Qualifiers (mutually exclusive)		Defaults

	/BUILD
	/CREATE
	/PRINT
	/MENU						/MENU



	/BUILD	Calls the module to build a file of instruction sets.

	/CREATE	Calls the module to create a list of recipient names.

	/PRINT	Calls the module to print certificates.

	/MENU	Invokes the main menu.


The program should be substantially self teaching. Each TDMS form 
contains some instruction, and help is available (help key). A review 
of the login command file will introduce you to a couple of directory 
commands that are also available.

To use the system, the operator builds an instruction set file. Each 
record in that file contains instructions for printing a set of gift 
certificates. A set may refer to a second file, a name file, which 
contains a list of certificate recipients. When the operator is ready 
to print the certificates, the system produces a file of printed 
certificates as well as a ledger file which is a summary of the 
certificates printed. There is a print command in the login file which 
is in the form desirable for certificate printing.

NOTE: The certificate form we use has two stubs at the left of the 
certificate.
