- Update Prices
-
- Ordinarily, you need never point to the date. Just type the correct
-
- price over the one that's highlighted and press Return. (Or just press
-
- Return if the price is okay.) We'll automatically fill in the date from
-
- the previous screen (which you can change here——but why?) and highlight
-
- the next one.

-
- To enter "one and thirteen sixty-fourths," it's easiest to enter "1
-
- 13/64" and let us, instantly, convert it to its decimal equivalent.
-
-
-
- We know which of your securities are >UTreasury> bonds or notes, and
-
- their weird pricing scheme, so don't hesitate to enter it the proper way
-
- (page >B6>-10). In fact, if you enter "86 and 24/32," we'll convert it
-
- to 84.24. If you enter "86.5," we'll correct your grammar ("86.05") and
-
- if you enter "86.50," we'll correct that to "87.18." This is not a
-
- program that lets a lot of grass grow under its feet.
