The Complete Communicator version 2.6x or higher software gives
the ability to send short notes by using the cover sheet
functions, and to retain those cover sheets by giving them a
filename that is meaningful to you.

To create a single cover sheet, press F3 from the Send Faxes
screen.  The CCOM software prompts you to enter a filename.  For
a new cover sheet, choose  a unique filename (usually the
recipient's name or company name so you can remember it easily)
no longer than 8 characters, e.g. COMPLETE.  To modify or re-use
an existing cover, enter it's name.

Once you choose a filename and press enter, the cover sheet
editing screen comes up, ready for you to manipulate.   Type in
your information, then press F10 to save it and return to the
Send Faxes screen.  At the Send Faxes screen, press Tab to move
the cursor to the Phone Number field where you can enter the
phone number of the recipient, a group name or  select a phone
number from the Phone Book by pressing F7 twice.  Once you have
entered the recipient's number, press F10 to exit and send the
fax.

The Cover sheet is converted to fax file format as a temporary
file.  The converted version of the cover sheet is automatically
deleted when the file is either sent successfully or when the
Maximum Number of Retries has been exhausted.  Two other copies
of the named cover sheet are saved in the C:\CC directory.  The
extensions of these files are .CVR and .COV.  Because they do not
have the extension .001 for a converted cover sheet, they do not
show up in the FAX Directory within the CCOM menus.  One way to
find out which files you still have stored is to exit to DOS and
do a directory of *.CVR or *.COV.  Another way to access the list
is from Send Fax, F7 List option.  Once the software prompts you
for the directory name, you can have it search the specific
directory and all files within that directory with the extension
.CVR, i.e. C:\OLDFAX\*.CVR.  Select the coversheet you want to
send and then press F10 to return to the file list screen and F10
again to return to Send Faxes.  You can delete these files from
the DOS Directory screen or at your DOS prompt, using the DOS DEL
command.

If you want to edit the cover sheet before sending,  press F3 for
Single cover sheet from the Send Faxes screen.  When the software
prompts you, enter the filename and press enter.  The text you
previously typed in will appear on the screen, ready to be
changed.  To resend a cover sheet, simply enter the filename
(e.g. COMPLETE.CVR) under "Filename" on the Send Faxes screen,
then enter the fax Phone Number of the recipient.

If you wish to keep a converted copy of that named cover sheet,
manually convert it to fax file format.  To do this, go to the
Special Features menu (F7) then Convert to Fax (F2).  Enter the
filename of the cover sheet you wish to convert (e.g.
COMPLETE.CVR), Type C for cover sheet "Type" and either Standard
or Fine resolution.  Press F3 to convert.  The converted file
(e.g. COMPLETE.000) is created and stored in the C:\CC directory.
Since it has the extension .000, it will not show in the Fax
Directory screen.

Warning: The cover sheet file, CVR uses quotation marks (") as
the end of line marker.  If you use quotation marks in the cover
sheet, all text following the first quotation mark will be
deleted when converted to fax.  Single quotes are okay.
