  +'ines.Strings'#1#6'hWhen you start LazStats you will see the grid with one e'
  +'mpty cell.  The column represents a variable and'#6'jthe row represents a "'
  +'case", observation or subject of your study.  Before you enter a value in t'
  +'hat first'#6'icell, you should click on the Variables menu and select the D'
  +'efine Variables option.  You will see a form'#6'pthat lets you specify a na'
  +'me or label for the variable as well as a longer title for the variable.  I'
  +'n addition,'#6'jyou specify the type of variable (integer, floating point, '
  +'character string), a missing value, and how you'#6'iwant the values entered'
  +' to be displayed in the cell (justification.)  Default values are provided '
  +'but you'#6'hcan change these by clicking on a specification and entering yo'
  +'ur own.  There are also "drop-down" boxes'#6'pthat let you select the type '
  +'or justification for those specifications.  It is a good idea to define all'
  +' of your'#6'lvariables before you begin entering data.  You can add additio'
  +'nal variables in the Definition form by simply'#6'dpressing the down arrow '
  +'key on your key board and then change any default values to appropriate one'
  +'s'#6#14'for your data.'#6#0#6'jOnce you have specified the variables for th'
  +'e data grid and returned to the grid, you can then enter data '#6'dfor thos'
  +'e variables you have defined.  When you press the down arrow key on your ke'
  +'yboard, a new row'#6'jwill automatically appear to enter the next case.  BE'
  +' CAREFUL!  It is easy to accidentally add new (blank)'#6'klines that should'
  +' not be a part of your data file.  Use the Edit menu and select the Delete '
  +'Row for any row'#6#31'accidentally added to the grid.'#6#0#6'gAvoid leaving'
  +' any cell blank.  It is recommended that you use a value such as 99999 as a'
  +' missing value '#6'juntil you have the correct value for that case and vari'
  +'able.  Generally, it is NOT a good idea to have any'#6'Bmissing data since '
  +'not all procedures will work with missing data.'#6#0#6'eOnce you have enter'
  +'ed data (or need to take a break from data entry) it is time to save the gr'
  +'id data'#6'jinto a disk file.  It is recommended that you save your data as'
  +' a .LAZ file (the top option under the FILE'#6'jmenu.)  This saves not only'
  +' your data but also all of your variable definitions!  You can, of course, '
  +'also'#6'jexport your data to a .TAB or other file format commonly utilized '
  +'by other programs.  These other formats '#6'-do NOT save the definitions of'
  +' the variables!'#6#0#6'iOnce you have entered data in a grid you will disco'
  +'ver it is easy to "navigate" around the grid.  Use the'#6'b"home" key, "end'
  +'" key, "page up" and "page down" keys as needed.  The "TAB" key will move y'
  +'ou from'#6'kcell to cell in a case.  You will also find procedures under th'
  +'e Variables menu and the Edit menu that lets'#6'jyou recode values in the g'
  +'rid, insert, copy and delete rows or columns, transform values in the grid,'
  +' etc.'#6'iExperiment!  Try different options.  There''s not much you can do'
  +' to harm your computer with this program.'#0#10'ScrollBars'#7#14'ssAutoVert'
