Chapter 2: Finding HELP While Using QuickDog

QuickDog includes "off-line" help as the primary method of explaining the features of the program. This HELP is available whether you are online or offline and you may access it using the HELP MENU within the QuickDog program. It's simply a collection of text files which explain QuickDog's features and how to use them. The best way to learn QuickDog is to use this online user's guide which includes screen shots. The Online User's Guide covers all the major elements of QuickDog in Chapter by Chapter format.

The HELP MENU button is located on the Windows Menu Bar of QuickDog as indicated by the cursor below. It is shown below as it appears with the "Standard Handicapping" display.
