AuthorWare Tutorial for the Macintosh

     EMASHE (Establishing Multimedia Authoring Skills in Higher
     Education) is providing a variety of materials designed to
     simplify your introduction to multimedia authoring. You may
     decide to author your own applications; in this case, you will
     have the skills to design, create, and deliver a package enhanced
     using any aspects of multimedia you feel are appropriate to your
     subject. You will be able to identify areas where you may wish to
     gain further expertise, and you will know how to do so. You will
     have the foundation skills to make an informed decision between
     authoring for yourself or designing/specifying a package to be
     constructed by someone else.

     As part of the overall EMASHE package, the "AuthorWare Tutorial
     for the Macintosh" is now available independently.  (The PC
     version, and tutorials for ToolBook and HyperCard will follow).
     This printed tutorial manual, which comes with materials on disk
     for the creation of the tutorial example, leads the user through
     the creation of a course-information package to learn:

             1.  Text production/importing/editing
