1.  Turn on your computer and get out to DOS

3.  Type DRAFT a:test.sch

4.  When the worksheet appears, press the enter key or the left mouse 
    button and you will see the main menu (MM).  Look at it and see what 
    is available.  It is not intuitive.  You can remove it by pressing 
    Esc.

5.  Select Get from the MM and you will see a command line.
    Use the Esc key and get back to the MM.

6.  Select Get from the MM and enter 74LS08 on the command line
    and you will get a gate (an AND gate). 

7.  To place the gate on your schematic move it with the mouse or arrow 
    keys and press the left mouse button.  You will get a menu.  Select 
    Place.  If you want more AND gates place them as before.  When you 
    are finished press Esc.  The AND gate will disappear.

8.  Try Get and enter 08 at the command line.  You will see a menu of 
    several types of 7408 chips (AND gates).
