Navigational Hints
Each Icon on the Main View screen has a corresponding menu option. If you
are uncomfortable using the icons at first, use the menu options. If you
want to start using the Icons, you can learn what each Icon does by placing
your mouse over the Icon, pressing the left mouse button, and holding it down.
When you do this, the Status Bar (last line of the Main View window) will
display a description of what this Icon does. If you move the cursor off the
icon and then release the button, the Icon function will not execute.
Quick Tour
Entering Winfo - Double click on the Winfo Icon to start Winfo. You will
see the title screen appear, then the Main View showing all the records in
a Sample phone book data base. The Menu bar is on top, followed by the Icon
bar, then the Alphabet buttons and the Field Headings for all the Cards.
The last line of the Main View windows is the Status line. It shows the
current status, descriptions. and useful information about the current
database such as number of Cards, Default Form, Current View, and whether
the data base has been modified.
Display Information
Double clicking on any item or pressing F2 in the Main View List will display
the highlighted Card on the default form. If you select Forms from the Menu
or Icon bar, you will see a list of all the forms available for the Phone
database. Select each one and see which one you prefer. You may change
forms at any time without affecting your data. It does not matter which
form you use to enter your data, you can view it on any form.
Add a Card
Pressing F3 from the Main View screen or on a form will bring up a blank form.
Enter your name and address. Once done, pressing F2 will save the Card and
return you to the Main View screen. The new card will be displayed in the
Main View. Adding records is that easy.

cards will be displayed in the main view. Select the fields in the order
you want them to display, then select the default form. Finally enter the
Selection criteria. Press HELP to learn more about selection criteria.

and you're set.
