  FLORIDA HELP

  This module will  assist you in validating a  license that may have
  been issued by the State of  Florida. Enter the driver's last name,
  first  name, middle  initial, date  of birth,  and sex.  Then press
  <enter>.

  Last Name:
  Note that the  spelling of the last name  may influence the license
  number. Spell carefully.

  First Name:
  Note that the spelling of the  first name may influence the license
  number. Spell carefully.

  Middle Initial:
  Note  that  the  presence  or  absence  of  the  middle initial may
  influence  the  license  number.  Take  care  to  enter or omit the
  initial according to use by your subject.

  Date of Birth:
  Enter  the date  of birth  in  U.S.  format, i.e.  mm/dd/yy. IT  IS
  IMPORTANT that you USE TWO CHARACTERS  FOR EACH PORTION of the DOB.
  You may delimit the month, day,  and year with slashes or dashes if
  you wish, but they are not required. You may enter the data without
  delimiters  to save  time and  keystrokes. For  example, if you are
  entering  a  DOB  for  January  eighth,  1969, either '01/08/69' or
  '010869' would be valid - 1/8/69 would produce an error.

  Sex:
  Enter  'Male' or  just 'M'  for male,  or 'Female'  or just 'F' for
  female.

  When you press <enter>, the  program will generate a license number
  that should  be identical to one  Florida would issue based  on the
  same information.

  You may access additional Florida reference information by invoking
  the reference file. Do this by  accessing the menu and choosing the
  More command. This feature may also be activated easily by pressing
  <Ctrl-M> for MORE.

  If you have the automatic print feature activated, the program will
  direct  a report  to the  default printer  concurrently with screen
  output  each time  you press   <enter>. Likewise,  if you  have the
  automatic  file  output  feature  enabled,  your  disk file will be
  appended (or created) concurrently with  the screen output. You may
  enable both of these options at the same time if you like.

  If you choose to leave the automatic print output disabled, you may
  still  generate a  print of  the report  showing on  the screen  by
  accessing  the  menu  and  choosing  the  RapidPrint  command. This
  feature may be  activated more easily by pressing  <Ctrl-P>. A copy
  of the report  showing will be immediately directed  to the default
  printer.

  When you have finished performing  inquiries for Florida, press the
  escape key to return to the  main program selection screen. To exit
  the program quickly, you should press <Ctrl-X>.

  When you have finished reading this help file, press the escape key
  to return to the Florida module.
