A-PIM can be started from the 'Programs / All-in-1 Personal Information Manager' entry of the Windows Start Menu.
Immediately
after starting A-PIM, if you have not yet registered your installation of the
program, the registration window will appear. See The Registration window
for instructions on what to do with it.
After
you have done with the registration window, if this is your first time you are
using A-PIM, you should select the database you want to work with. See Using Databases and Passwords
for instructions on how to work with databases.
If
you launch A-PIM not for the first time, the program will try to open the database
previously used, if still existing in the same folder, otherwise it will prompt
you to select the database you want to work with.
If
the implicitly or explicitly selected database has a password, you will be
prompted for it, otherwise the database will be opened and you can start using
it.
After
the database selection and password check processes have been terminated, the
A-PIM main window will appear, a simple window with a black background and a
toolbar (you can later make the tool invisible, if you wish).
There
are no fixed drop-down menus in the main window. However you can recall the main context menu in
different ways:
·
By clicking on
the window background with the mouse right button
·
By clicking on
the
icon
of the toolbar
You
can quit A-PIM in different ways:
·
By pressing the
ESC key while no other A-PIM windows are open
·
By choosing the
"Quit the Program" command in the main context menu
·
By pressing the
CTL-Q key combination
·
By clicking in
the "X" box of the main window
