  ╔F YOU ASK PEOPLE WHAT TOOLS THEY
NEED TO MANAGE THEIR CHECKBOOK, MOST
WILL TELL YOU A PEN OR PENCIL AND A
CALCULATOR.  ╔'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT
A TASK IS MADE EASIER IF YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TOOLS, AND ╔ KNEW MY ├-64 HAD
THE POTENTIAL TO BE A MUCH BETTER TOOL
FOR THE JOB.  ╘HE PROBLEM WAS, NEARLY
ALL THE SOFTWARE AVAILABLE TO MAINTAIN
YOUR CHECKBOOK WAS SCALE-DOWN VERSIONS
OF ACCOUNTING PACKAGES WHICH SEEMED TO
COMPLICATE WHAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE
TASK.  ╔ WROTE ┬┴╬╦ ┴├├╧╒╬╘╙ WITH A
SINGULAR PURPOSE IN MIND...TO REPLACE
THE PEN OR PENCIL & CALCULATOR AS MY
TOOLS FOR USING MY CHECKING & SAVINGS
ACCOUNTS.  ╔'VE TAKEN EVERY EFFORT TO
MAKE IT EASY TO USE AND UNDERSTAND,
AND ONCE YOU GET USED TO THE NEATNESS,
ACCURACY, FLEXIBILITY, & CONVENIENCE
OF THE PROGRAM, ╔ DOUBT YOU'LL EVER
GO BACK TO USING THAT OLD CALCULATOR
METHOD AGAIN.
  ╬OW LET'S LOOK AT THE DETAILS OF THE
PROGRAM:

  ╘O LOAD ┬┴╬╦ ┴├├╧╒╬╘╙, TYPE:

         ╠╧┴─":*",8,1 <RETURN>

  ┘OU'LL NOTICE THAT ╔'VE PUT A COLON
AHEAD OF THE *.  ┘OU'RE PROBABLY USED
TO JUST LOADING "*",8,1 FOR MOST ALL
YOUR COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE, AND YOU MAY
THINK THAT THE COMMAND MEANS LOAD THE
FIRST PROGRAM ON THE DISK.  ╫HAT THE
COMMAND REALLY MEANS IS LOAD THE LAST
PROGRAM THAT WAS LOADED, WHICH IN THE
CASE OF A FRESH POWER-UP DEFAULTS TO
THE FIRST PROGRAM ON THE DISK.  ┬UT IF
YOU JUST USED SOME OTHER PROGRAM AND
THEN TYPED ╬┼╫, SWITCH DISKS AND TRIED
TO LOAD "*",8,1 YOU'D GET A '╞╔╠┼ ╬╧╘
╞╧╒╬─' ERROR BECAUSE THE DRIVE LOOKED
FOR THE LAST PROGRAM YOU LOADED. ╒SING
THE COLON AHEAD OF THE * WILL ┴╠╫┴┘╙
LOAD THE FIRST PROGRAM ON THE DISK.
(╔ DIDN'T MEAN TO GET TECHNICAL HERE,
BUT ╔ THOUGHT YOU MIGHT FIND THIS BIT
OF INFORMATION SOMEWHAT USEFUL.)

  ╧NCE LOADED, YOU'LL BE AT THE ENTRY
MENU.  ┴LL THE MENUS IN ┬┴╬╦ ┴├├╧╒╬╘╙
OPERATE THE SAME.  ┘OU MOVE THE BLUE
HIGHLIGHT TO WHAT YOU WANT TO SELECT
BY USING THE CURSOR KEYS (CURSOR RIGHT
ACTS LIKE CURSOR UP FOR CONVENIENCE)
OR WITH THE JOYSTICK (IN PORT 2), THEN
PRESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬ (OR THE FIRE BUTTON) TO
MAKE THE SELECTION.  ╞ROM THE ENTRY

╘HIS INFORMATION IS USED WHEN PRINTING
YOUR REGISTER, & TO SEE IF AN ACCOUNT
IS ACTIVE BEFORE LETTING YOU USE IT.
┼NTER THE NUMBER FOR THE ACCOUNT YOU
WANT TO START USING, AND THEN ENTER
THE INFORMATION FOR THAT ACCOUNT. ╔F
YOU SELECT A NUMBER OF AN ACCOUNT THAT
IS ALREADY IN USE, YOU WILL BE OFFERED
THE OPTION TO REMOVE DATA EXISTING IN
THE REGISTER AND/OR DELETING ANY DATA
SAVED ON THE DISK FOR THAT ACCOUNT.

╬╧╘┼: ╔F YOU'VE BEEN USING A PREVIOUS
VERSION OF ┬┴╬╦ ┴├├╧╒╬╘╙, ALL YOU NEED
DO TO USE THIS VERSION IS TO TRANSFER

JUST PICK UP FROM WHERE YOU LEFT OFF.
┴LL DATA FILES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS
OF ┬┴╬╦ ┴├├╧╒╬╘╙ WILL WORK WITH THIS
VERSION, EXCEPT FOR THE MO.BILLS FILES
FROM THE EARLIEST VERSION (WHICH USED
NUMERICALLY SELECTED MENU OPTIONS).

  ╧NCE YOU'VE ACTIVATED AN ACCOUNT AND
RETURNED TO THE ENTRY MENU, YOU MAY
BEGIN USING THAT ACCOUNT BY SELECTING
╒╙┼ ┘╧╒╥ ┴├├╧╒╬╘╙ FROM THE MENU.  ╘HIS

ABOUT A MINUTE TO LOAD WITHOUT USING

TO USE THE QUICKLOAD (WHICH REDUCES
THE LOADING TIME TO ABOUT 15 SEC.) SEE
THE SECTION ON ╨╥╧╟╥┴═ ═╧─╔╞╔├┴╘╔╧╬╙.
┴LSO, FOR ADDED CONVENIENCE & QUICKER
LOADING, ONCE YOUR ACCOUNT IS ACTIVE,

╫HEN THE MAIN PROGRAM IS LOADED, YOU

ACCOUNT WILL BE READ FROM THE DISK.
┘OU WILL THEN BE PRESENTED WITH THE
MAIN MENU FOR MANAGING YOUR ACCOUNT.

╓╔┼╫ ┘╧╒╥ ╥┼╟╔╙╘┼╥
  ╘HE REGISTER DISPLAY IS DESIGNED TO

╨AYEE NAME AND REGISTER MEMO FIELDS

═┴╦┼ ┴ ╫╔╘╚─╥┴╫┴╠
  ═AKING A WITHDRAWAL IS SIMILAR TO

═╧─╔╞╔├┴╘╔╧╬╙ FROM THE ENTRY MENU.

┘╧╒╥ ═╧╬╘╚╠┘ ┬╔╠╠╙
  ╘HIS AREA IS DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE

╧NCE YOU ┴── ┴ ═╧╬╘╚╠┘ ┬╔╠╠ TO THE

PAY THE BILL IS THE DATE AND AMOUNT.
╘HE AMOUNT WILL SHOW A DEFAULT OF THE
LAST AMOUNT PAID, SO IF YOU ALWAYS PAY
THE SAME AMOUNT TO THE BILL, YOU ONLY
NEED PRESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬ AT THIS QUESTION.
╘HE CHECK # USED WILL AUTOMATICALLY
DEFAULT TO 1 MORE THAN THE LAST # USED
UNLESS YOU TELL THE PROGRAM OTHERWISE.
┘OU MAY SELECT ╠┴╙╘ ╨┴╔─ ─┴╘┼╙ TO SHOW

  ╘HIS OPTION IS FOR ENTERING CHECKS
THAT AREN'T IN THE MONTHLY BILLS FILE.
┘OU WILL BE ASKED FOR THE DATE, PAYEE,
AMOUNT, A MEMO FOR THE REGISTER, AND A
MEMO FOR THE CHECK (ONLY IF YOU PLAN
ON PRINTING THE CHECK. ╙EE THE SECTION
ON CHECKPRINTING BELOW).  ╩UST LIKE IN
THE MONTHLY BILLS SECTION, THE CHECK #

CHECK # USED UNLESS YOU SAY OTHERWISE.

╨╥╔╬╘╧╒╘ ╥┼╟╔╙╘┼╥
  ╨RINTS A CHECKBOOK STYLE REGISTER TO

RECORD OF YOUR ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS.
╔N ADDITION TO WHAT IS DISPLAYED IN

THE CHECK, AND THE FULL PAYEE NAME &
REGISTER MEMO.

┬┴╠┴╬├┼ ┘╧╒╥ ┴├├╧╒╬╘
  ┬ALANCING YOUR ACCOUNT IS A QUICK &
EASY USING ┬┴╬╦ ┴├├╧╒╬╘╙.  ╫HEN YOUR
MONTHLY BANK STATEMENT ARRIVES, SELECT
THIS OPTION AND YOU'LL BE ASKED WHICH
TRANSACTIONS APPEAR ON THE STATEMENT,
AND IF THERE IS A SERVICE CHARGE. ╘HE
PROGRAM WILL THEN TELL YOU WHAT THE
ENDING BALANCE ON THE STATEMENT SHOULD
BE.  ╔F THE BANK STATEMENT AND PROGRAM
DON'T AGREE ON THE ENDING BALANCE, IT
WILL AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE A BALANCE
ADJUSTMENT TRANSACTION FOR THE AMOUNT
OF THE DISCREPANCY. (SEE THE SECTION
┼─╔╘ ┘╧╒╥ ╘╥┴╬╙┴├╘╔╧╬╙ FOR HOW TO GO
ABOUT CORRECTING MISTAKES THAT MAY BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISCREPANCY). ┴N *

ENTRY WHICH HAS CLEARED THE BANK.

╨╥┼╓╔╧╒╙ ═╧╬╘╚╙
  ╫HEN AN ENTIRE MONTH'S TRANSACTIONS
HAVE CLEARED THE BANK, THEY SHOULD BE
REMOVED FROM YOUR CURRENT REGISTER AND
SAVED TO DISK. ╘HIS WILL FREE UP ROOM
IN THE REGISTER FOR MORE TRANSACTIONS,
AND KEEP THE TIME REQUIRED TO LOAD IN
YOUR REGISTER DATA TO A MINIMUM.
  ╫HEN YOU SELECT THE OPTION ╙┴╓┼ ┴
═╧╬╘╚ ╘╧ ─╔╙╦ YOU WILL BE ASKED WHICH
MONTH YOU WANT TO SAVE, AND AFTER THE

FOR THAT MONTH HAVE CLEARED THE BANK,
YOU WILL BE PROMPTED:  ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦ ╔╬
─╥╔╓┼, ╨╥┼╙╙ ╥┼╘╒╥╬.  ╫HAT YOU SHOULD
DO AT THIS PROMPT WILL DEPEND ON YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES.  ╔F YOU ARE USING ┬┴╬╦
┴├├╧╒╬╘╙ ON A 1581 DRIVE, WHICH CAN
EASILY HOLD MANY YEARS OF DATA ON THE
PROGRAM DISK, YOU JUST PRESS RETURN.
╔F YOU ARE USING A 1541 OR 1571, YOU
WILL EVENTUALLY RUN OUT OF DISK SPACE
IF YOU SAVE YOUR PREVIOUS MONTHS TO
THE PROGRAM DISK, SO YOU SHOULD INSERT
A FORMATTED DISK AT THIS TIME TO SAVE
YOUR PREVIOUS MONTHS ON, ╘╚┼╬ PRESS
RETURN.  ┴FTER THE MONTH IS SAVED, YOU
WILL BE ASKED IF YOU WANT TO SAVE IT
AGAIN ON A BACKUP DISK (A GOOD IDEA).
1581 DRIVE USERS MAY USE A COPY OF THE
PROGRAM DISK FOR THEIR BACKUP DISK,
WHILE 1541/1571 USERS SHOULD JUST USE
ANOTHER FORMATTED DISK FOR BACKUP. ╬OT
ONLY WILL THE MONTH BE SAVED TO THE
BACKUP DISK, BUT THE CURRENT REGISTER
WILL BE SAVED THERE AS WELL.  ╨REVIOUS
MONTHS THAT HAVE BEEN SAVED TO DISK
WILL BE ABLE TO BE RELOADED HERE FOR
VIEWING OR PRINTING, BUT THEY MAY NOT
BE ALTERED, SO DO ANY EDITING TO YOUR
CLEARED TRANSACTIONS ┬┼╞╧╥┼ YOU SAVE
THEM TO THE DISK.

┼─╔╘ ┘╧╒╥ ╘╥┴╬╙┴├╘╔╧╬╙
  ╚ERE'S WHERE NEARLY ALL OTHER MONEY
MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS WILL FAIL YOU....
THEY DON'T OFFER THE FLEXIBILITY OF
ALLOWING YOU TO MODIFY YOUR REGISTER
ENTRIES ONCE THEY'RE MADE. ╫E ALL MAKE
MISTAKES, AND WITH A PENCIL AND ERASER
YOU CAN CORRECT THEM.  ╫ELL, WITH ┬┴╬╦
┴├├╧╒╬╘╙ YOU CAN CORRECT THEM TOO, AND
WITH EASE AND ACCURACY.  ┘OU MAY EDIT
NAMES, DATES, AMOUNTS, AND MEMOS IN
YOUR CURRENT REGISTER, AND CAN DELETE
A TRANSACTION, OR MOVE IT TO ANOTHER
LOCATION IN THE REGISTER, AND ALL YOUR
BALANCES WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST
THEMSELVES ACCORDINGLY.  ╘HIS ADDS
EVEN MORE FLEXIBILITY THAN A PENCIL &
ERASER CAN PROVIDE!

╠┼┴╓┼ ╘╚╔╙ ┴├├╧╒╬╘
  ╘HIS OPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY SAVE
CHANGES TO THE REGISTER AND MONTHLY
BILLS FILES, IF NECESSARY, AND RETURNS
YOU TO THE ACCOUNT MENU, WHERE YOU MAY
CHOOSE TO USE ANOTHER ACCOUNT, OR YOU
CAN RETURN TO THE ENTRY MENU.

  ╫ELL, THAT EXPLAINS ALL THE OPTIONS
AVAILABLE AT THE MAIN MENU, BUT BEFORE
WE GO BACK TO THE ENTRY MENU OPTIONS,
╔'D LIKE TO COVER A FEW OTHER FEATURES
CONTAINED IN THE MAIN PROGRAM:

╨╥╔╬╘╔╬╟ ┘╧╒╥ ├╚┼├╦╙
  ┬┴╬╦ ┴├├╧╒╬╘╙ WILL FILL OUT YOUR
CHECKS FOR YOU, IF YOU WISH (┘OU'LL
STILL NEED TO SIGN THEM).  ╘HE PROGRAM

  ╘O ORDER THE PERSONAL SIZED CHECKS,

╔F YOU PREFER TO USE A DIFFERENT STYLE
CHECK, YOU CAN USE THE OPTION IN THE
╨╥╧╟╥┴═ ═╧─╔╞╔├┴╘╔╧╬╙ TO MODIFY THE
CHECKPRINTING FORMAT TO FIT ANY CHECKS
YOU WISH TO USE.

╒╙╔╬╟ ╘╚┼ ├┴╠├╒╠┴╘╧╥
  ┴T ANY MENU, OR WHILE VIEWING YOUR
REGISTER, YOU MAY MAKE USE OF A UNIQUE
CALCULATOR ╔ BUILT INTO THE PROGRAM BY
PRESSING ╞1.  ┴T THE BOTTOM OF THE
SCREEN WILL BE A  $  WITH A BLINKING
CURSOR.  ┘OU MAY ENTER A NUMBER, THEN
A + OR - , THEN ANOTHER NUMBER (AND
ANOTHER + OR - , AND ANOTHER NUMBER,
AND ANOTHER + OR -, ETC. UP TO A TOTAL
OF 29 CHARACTERS) THEN PRESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬ OR
THE = KEY AND THE TOTAL OF YOUR ENTRY
WILL BE DISPLAYED.  ╔F YOU THEN PRESS
ANOTHER + OR -, THE TOTAL WILL MOVE TO
THE LEFT SO YOU CAN CONTINUE TO ADD &
SUBTRACT BY ENTERING MORE NUMBERS. ╘HE
╞7 KEY CLEARS THE ENTRY FIELD.  ╘HE ╞5
KEY WILL BRING YOUR CURRENT BALANCE IN
TO THE ENTRY FIELD.  ╔F YOU PRESS THE
╞3 KEY WHILE A TOTAL IS DISPLAYED, IT
WILL RETAIN THAT FIGURE FOR LATER USE.
╔F YOU PRESS THE ╞3 KEY AFTER ENTERING
A + OR - IN THE ENTRY FIELD, OR IF THE
ENTRY FIELD IS EMPTY, THE LAST NUMBER
STORED ON THE ╞3 KEY WILL GO INTO THE
ENTRY FIELD. ┴NY NUMBER STORED ON ╞3
WILL BE RETAINED UNTIL EITHER ANOTHER
NUMBER IS STORED ON IT, OR YOU LEAVE
THE ACCOUNT.  ╨RESSING ╞1 WHILE IN THE
CALCULATOR WILL RETURN YOU TO WHATEVER
YOU WERE DOING BEFORE. ╔F YOU EXIT THE
CALCULATOR WHILE A TOTAL IS THERE, IT
WILL STILL BE THERE THE NEXT TIME YOU
USE THE CALCULATOR. ╔ KNOW THIS MAY
SOUND COMPLICATED, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY
QUITE SIMPLE TO USE.  ╘O SUMMARIZE,
THE FUNCTION KEYS DO THE FOLLOWING:
     ╞1 - ├ALCULATOR ╧╬/╧╞╞
     ╞3 - ╙TORE/╥ETRIEVE A NUMBER
     ╞5 - ┬RINGS IN CURRENT BALANCE
     ╞7 - ├LEARS ENTRY FIELD
╧THER THAN THAT, YOU JUST ADD AND
SUBTRACT NUMBERS.  ╘RY IT OUT, YOU'LL
FIND IT EASY TO USE, AND VERY HANDY.

  ╧NE OTHER NOTE: AT ANY PROMPT IN THE
MAIN PROGRAM THAT DISPLAYS A RED >  AT
THE LEFT, YOU CAN SAFELY USE COMMA'S
AND COLONS IN THE DATA ENTERED. ┴T ANY
PROMPT WITH A  ?  AT THE LEFT, BE SURE
NOT TO MOVE THE CURSOR OFF THE LINE.
