     NT is designed for writing quick notes from the console to a 
disk file.

USAGE:   NT [DIR:][FILE][.TYP]

     Save note to specified file.  If the file already exists, 
the text entered will be appended to it.  If the file extension 
is omitted, a default type is automatically inserted.
     If no file is specified on the command line, NT will prompt 
the user for a filespec on exit [this is configurable].  If no 
filename is given, a default file name, drive, and user area are 
used for output [these are also configurable].

     IMPORTANT:  A filename with a blank .TYP cannot be opened by 
     NT unless the default file type has been patched to '   '.  
     (Such a file would have been created with another program.)

Input uses the BDOS read function, so editing is limited to 
destructive backspace and ^X to clear the line under CP/M 2.2 and 
its derivatives.  Z3PLUS allows nondestructive backspace and many 
other capabilities.  Enter a blank line to save and exit.  A ^C 
at the start of any input line, or RETURN at the start of the 
first line aborts NT.

PATCHES:

ZCNFG.COM, available publicly at no charge, is highly 
recommended.  Put ZCNFG and NT46.CFG in the same drive and user 
area and type

     ZCNFG NT46

ZCNFG will guide you through a menu-driven installation session, 
including online help.  ZCNFG does not install the Type 4 version of
NT.  If you are unable to obtain ZCNFG.COM, the addresses to patch
are as follows:

Patch Location for NT46.COM (Type 1):    ORG + 0BH  (1st record)
  "      "         NT46.4OM (Type 4):    ORG + 10DH (3rd record)

Location     Patch            Current Setting       Optional Settings
--------     -----            ---------------       -----------------
ORG + 0BH    Default Drive    00 - Current drive    Drive number, A=1.
                "    User     FF - Current user     User 00-0F (or more).
                "    Name    'NOTES   '
                "    Ext     'NT '
             Prompt on exit?  00                    Non-zero causes prompt.
