The Main Menu.
==============
The main menu will present you with a list of six options as listed
below. Each option of the menu is detailed further on in the
documentation.
A - Add a new Tube to the Database
C - Cross Reference a Tube
D - Delete a Tube from the Database
I - Information of this Program
P - Print a Tube Cross Reference
X - Exit to DOS
A - Add a Tube.
===============
Choosing the option 'A' from the main menu will allow you to add
a vaccum tube to the cross reference database. You will be prompted
to enter the tube number, and the program will check the database
for the existance of the tube. If found you will be told it is in
the database and told how many substitution entries it has. You
will then be asked if you want to enter additional substitute data.
Entering additional or new tube data you will be asked for the
substitute numbers and given a prompt that looks like this:
Substitute #: ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
To halt entering substitute data enter a '*' and press return.
You will then be shown the data you just typed in, and asked to
confirm saving it to the main data file.
C - Cross Reference a Tube.
===========================
Cross Referencing a tube consists of entering the vaccum tube
number that you would like the substitution information for.
The program will then scan through the data file and if the tube
is found will be displayed on the screen. When you have the data
you need press return and you will be taked back to the main menu.

Example:
Tube Number: 6LQ6
Substitute: 6JE6C
Substitute: 6JM6
PRESS RETURN
D - Delete a Tube.
==================
CAUTION - Deleting a tube from the database is irreversable! You
can not un-delete a tubes information once you have deleted it. You
will have to re-enter it with the Add a Tube option.
Deleting a Tube from the database is straight forward. You will
be asked to supply the tube number you want to delete, and the
program will scan the data file for it. If found you will be
informed of how many entries will be deleted along with it. You
will then be prompted to confirm the operation. Anything but 'Y'
will keep the data file intact.
Example:
Tube Number: 6LQ6
6LQ6 will be deleted along with 2 entries.
Delete this information <Y/N>?
6LQ6 and 2 entries have been deleted.
PRESS RETURN
I - Information on this Program.
================================
The information screen will basically show you a brief run down on
the programs shareware license and other various information.

This option is exactly like Cross Referencing a tube, except
that the output is directed to your printer. Be sure you turn
your printer on.
Printing a Tube Cross Reference consists of entering the vaccum
tube number that you would like the substitution information for.
The program will then scan through the data file and if the tube
is found will be printed on the printer. When you have the data
