Service Charges (Type S)
Upon entry into the Checkbook program you will see an area in the
middle of your screen for recording the transactions. However,
before entering transactions, pull down the Menu and "Select

several orange gadgets that are used to perform the various
checkbook functions. To initiate one of the function, simply use

then depress the left button. The functions that may be
performed are as follows:
Top - Selecting this gadget will cause the top 19 lines
of the checkbook journal to be displayed.

additional transactions into the journal. The new entry

by using the mouse to position the pointer and then
depressing the left button, or by using the Up and Down
Arrows. Information that must be entered includes:
Date - Enter the date of the transaction in
the format of (MM/DD/YY). Depress TAB to use

Split Identifier - If the transaction is to be
applied to more than one expense code, enter
"A" for the first, and "B" for the second,
etc.

company to whom the check is written. If
other than a check, enter any desired

NOTE: Once you have entered Insert mode, you
will remain in this mode until the ESC key is

not change a Check Number or Split Identifier. After
