In order to use the Psalter file, you should be running Windows
95 with its help engine. It may work with previous help engines,
but has not been tested.

1. Extract the file into its own directory or subdirectory.
2. Place it in your "start" list, or make a desktop shortcut
pointing to Psalms of David in Metre.HLP
3. Enjoy.

If you have a midi file you would rather use with a particular
Psalm, simply rename it according to the number of the Psalm and
place it in the directory with Psalter instead of the midi file
that presently has that number.
