               Zapple is the monitor program for the TPM operating
               system of Valdocs.  It is very powerful, therefore, you
               should be familiar with its commands before you start
               using them, or at the very least, follow the step-by-
               step instructions of another paper that tells you how
               to use it.  If misused, it may damage your QX computer.

          The Dual In-line Package (DIP) that is used in this method is on
          the back of your QX computer between the speaker control and the
          monitor port.  It contains 8 switches.

          Getting into Zapple

          1.   Place switch 2 of the DIP in the DOWN (OFF) position.

          2.   If the computer is already on, use step A.  Otherwise, use
               step B.

               A.   Place the Valdocs 1.1x System disk in the left drive
                    and press the Reset button.  The Reset button is
                    located on the front of the computer below the right
                    disk drive.

               B.   Turn your computer on and place the Valdocs system
                    diskette in the left drive.

          Instead of loading Valdocs, the computer will only load the
          Zapple monitor.  You may now enter any necessary Zapple commands.


          Getting back into Valdocs 1.1x

          1.   When you are through, just place DIP switch 2 back UP (ON).

          2.   Press the Reset button.

          Valdocs will now load in its normal fashion.
