INTRODUCTION The TK-WORKS Programmers' Workbench is an ANSI MUMPS-based software product which provides an efficient and effective solution to the need for an advanced programming environment which is both portable and completely self-contained. TK-WORKS features a full-screen Routine Editor, Routine Management, Release Management, Global Management and other utilities which work together to enhance the process of developing and maintaining application systems.

As is the case with all PG&A products, it is screen oriented and makes full use of the function keys provided with most types of terminal. The functions available in the Routine Editor, as well as each of the system's utilities, are available in only a few keystrokes enabling programmers to perform routine tasks in minimal time.

This manual is designed to provide the information necessary for system managers and programmers to install, initialize and use this exceptional system. The sections outlined below will assist you in getting started, in addition to serving as a reference later.
