These are your input fields. By clicking on <Add New>
or <Edit> you can create or edit a record.
The Fields are all self explanatory, except maybe
the <Priority> field. The <Priority> field is where
you can enter a certain code for that person or
company and then Sort by that field.
Esc = Save Arrow Keys = Movement through the fields.
In SETUP you enter your COM port, BAUD rate and TYPE
of phone (Pulse or Tone).
You also select.. the number of times to REDIAL,
load or create a new data base, enter a PCX photo
name, and turn on or off the calling LOG.

You may use <Sort> first and see them sorted by
any field you select to sort on.
EDITing allows you to change any previously entered
data. Normal edit keys are used.
PRINT will print two separate ways.
The First way is to printout the actual <Name &
Address Book>, or printout the <Calls> you have made.
If you select <Calls> then you are asked if you want
to printout the complete listing (ALL), or individual
Months.
FIND will look up any LAST name you enter. It's not
case sensitive nor does it need the complete name to
search for. A partial name will work just as well.
SORT will sort the data base on any field you select.
If you select to sort on the city for example, the
<DISPLAY> will show them sorted in that order.
The side <LETTERS> will jump in sorted order.

(sales) in an orderly fashion. Go through the records

from a calling list or data base list.

it will fill-in this deleted space first to keep the
data base at a minimum size.
