If a powerful program is simple to use, then many things are going on behind the screen. So it is with GEOS, the new operating system for the Commodore 64 family of computers.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF GEOS helps the new user discover and take advantage of the power that GEOS hides under its desktop icons. Chapters on geoWrite and geoPaint give hints on how to create your documents more quickly and easily, and on how to avoid the undocumented features.

For the user needing more power and flexibility, HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF GEOS provides utilities for importing text from other popular word processors, grabbing graphics from your favorite drawing program, translating GEOS application files into and back from sequential files that you can send over the modem to your friends, and a telecommunications program you can use to do it.

If that is not enough to satisfy your needs, HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF GEOS documents the GEOS file structure and maps the important locations of the GEOS operating system so you can custom design your own utilities and applications.
