╫HEN YOU FIRST RUN ├HECKBOOK128 FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN YELLOW
(IF YOU HAVE A MONOCHROME MONITOR JUST READ CAREFULLY). ┘OU WILL NEED
SOME SPACE ON YOUR DISK FOR TWO ╙┼╤ FILES. ╧NE WILL HOLD YOUR CURRENT
BALANCE, THE OTHER WILL HOLD ALL YOUR TRANSACTIONS. ╙INCE YOU WILL BE
ADDING MORE TRANSACTIONS THIS FILE WILL ALSO GROW. ═AKE SURE YOU DO
NOT RUN OUT OF SPACE.
┴FTER YOU HAVE SET UP YOUR FILES ON DISK YOU ARE READY TO ENTER
YOUR BEGINNING BALANCE. ╙ELECT '╞╔╠┼ ═┴╔╬╘┼╬┴╬├┼' AND THEN SELECT
'┴╠╘┼╥ ├╒╥╥┼╬╘ ┬┴╠┴╬├┼'.
╔T SHOULD BE 0.00. ┼NTER YOUR BEGINNING BALANCE. ╬EXT, GO BACK TO
THE MAIN MENU. ╞INALLY YOU CAN START TO ENTER YOUR TRANSACTIONS.
┼╬╘┼╥╔╬╟ ╘╥┴╬╙┴├╘╔╧╬╙
╘HE FORMAT FOR ENTERING THE DATE IS ══──┘┘. ╬O "/"'S OR ","'S
ARE NEEDED OR WANTED HERE. ╔ FIND THAT THEY JUST CAUSE PROBLEMS
(ESPECIALLY ","'S IN FILENAMES) ┘OU CAN ENTER A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF
YOUR TRANSACTION NEXT.
╘HE AMOUNT OF THE TRANSACTION IS ENTERED IN A SPECIAL TIME SAVING
WAY. ┘OU ─╧ ╬╧╘ NEED TO USE A DECIMAL TO SEPARATE DOLLARS AND CENTS
(JUST LIKE A BUSINESS CALCULATOR). ╘HE PROGRAM WILL WAIT FOR THE
AMOUNT WITH THIS PROMPT:
─┴╘┼:══──┘┘ ─┼╙├╥╔╨╘╔╧╬:├┴╥ ╨┴┘═┼╬╘ ┴═╧╒╬╘:000
^^^^^^^^^^
╔F YOU WANTED TO ENTER A PAYMENT OF $250.00 YOU WOULD ENTER 25000.
╘HE PROGRAM WILL FORMAT YOUR # INTO 250.00 LATER. ╚ERE ARE SOME
IMPORTANT EXAMPLES:
- YOU WANT TO ENTER $10.95 - ENTER AS 1095
- YOU WANT TO ENTER 95 CENTS - ENTER AS 095 (THE LEADING 0 IS
IMPORTANT)
- YOU WANT TO ENTER 1 CENT - ENTER AS 001 ( " " 0'S ARE
" )
- YOU WANT TO ENTER $1.00 - ENTER AS 100 (AGAIN TRAIL WITH
0'S)
┴S YOU MIGHT HAVE GUESSED, THE AMOUNT ENTERED MUST HAVE AT LEAST
3 DIGITS IN IT TO BE FORMATTED PROPERLY BY THE PROGRAM.
╘HE LARGEST AMOUNT ├HECKBOOK128 CAN ACCEPT IS $99 999.99. ╔F YOU
NEED TO ENTER ANY AMOUNTS LARGER THAN THAT, YOU CAN PROBABLEY AFFORD
TO HIRE SOMEBODY TO BALANCE YOUR ACCOUNTS FOR YOU!
╬EXT ├HECKBOOK ASKS YOU IF YOUR TRANSACTIONS IS A ─┼╨ (DEPOSIT)
OR ╫─╥ (WITHDRAWAL). ╩UST PRESS + OR - .
┘OU WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER 10 TRANSACTIONS AT A TIME IN AN
INTERNAL BUFFER. ╔F YOU ARE ENTERING LESS, ENTER '╬' WHEN YOU ASKED
'┴╬╧╘╚┼╥ ┼╬╘╥┘ [┘/╬] ?'
╙┴╓╔╬╟ ╘╥┴╬╙┴├╘╔╧╬╙
┘OU CAN GET TO THAT OPTION 3 WAYS. ╘HE 1ST WAY IS DIRECTLY FROM
THE MAIN MENU. ╘HE 2ND WAY IN IS BY FILLING THE TRANSACTION BUFFER
(10 TRANSACTIONS). ╘HE 3RD WAY IS FOR YOUR PROTECTION. ╔F YOU TRY
'╤╒╔╘' ├HECKBOOK128, IT WILL CHECK THE BUFFER. ╔F IT IS EMPTY YOU
WILL END YOUR SESSION. ╔F THERE IS UNSAVED TRANSACTIONS IN THE
BUFFER, YOU WILL HAVE TO SAVE THEM FIRST (OR RESET YOUR ├-128). ┴LSO
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ├HECKBOOK128 DISABLES THE ╥╒╬ ╙╘╧╨/╥┼╙╘╧╥┼ KEYS.
