Introduction
------------
MONEY MANAGER is not just another check book balancing program,
although it will do an excellent job of that, MONEY MANAGER is
a bank account manager. This means you'll be able sort,
search, balance, graph and lots more.
With ease of use as a primary concern, MONEY MANAGER is
menu-driven and designed to require very little external
documentation. From the main menu, all you have to do is hit
"H" and you'll get all the help you will probably aver need.
---------------
GETTING STARTED
---------------
FLOPPY USERS
If you plan to use this program on floppy disk it is highly
recommended that you create or modify a file called
"CONFIG.SYS" which contains: "BUFFERS=20" Refer to your DOS
manual for details on the use of CONFIG.SYS files, but you
should know that this could speed up processing by as much as
ten times during I/O intensive operations such as searches and
sorts.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM
When you are ready to begin using the program the first thing
you will probably want to do is begin entering checks,
withdrawals and deposits. Hit "A" from the main menu to begin.
Once you've got all your transactions entered you will be ready
to take advantage of the full power of money manager. Use the
"H" key to help you figure where to go from this point.
NOTE: A sample account has been provided so the user can become
aquainted with the program right away, without having to
enter large numbers of transactions first. To go directly
to this account type: (from the DOS prompt)
A>money sample<RETURN>
When the program comes up it will automatically be in the
"SAMPLE" account and you'll be able to try all the functions
including graphing, sorting and searching.
STATEMENT VERIFICATION
When you enter data you will usually choose "NO" for the
"VERIFIED:" field, but when you get your bank statement in the
mail you will want to change all those entries which are found
on the statement to "YES." Once all the verificatons have been
made, hit "F4" to get the VERIFIED balance -- which should be
equal to the balance on the statement.
HIGHLIGHTS
o To start entering DEPOSITS, WITHDRAWALS or CHECKS you must
begin by pressing "A" for (A)dd.
o Once at least one check has been entered, the computer
keeps track of what the next check number should be and to
take advantage of this, simply hit <ENTER> after chosing
(A)dd from the main menu.
o A red key "╓─o" next to the filename indicates that the
file is password protected.
o The value next to "Credits(+):" heading represents the
total of all positive cash flows (DEPOSITS).
o The value next to "Debits(-):" heading indicates the total
of all negative cash flows (CHECKS/WITHDRAWALS).
o To generate a full color, 3-bar, monthly graph, choose F0
(F10) from the main menu and then answer prompts as
required.
o The "YES" or "NO" next to the "VERIFIED:" field indicate
whether or not that particular entry has been verified
against a bank statement. You normally enter a "NO" here
first, but change it to "YES" once you see it is on the
statement you get from the bank.
o Hitting <ENTER> at the DATE prompt when entering data will
automatically enter the date that is in the computer.
o Multiple accounts are possible and easy with MONEY MANAGER.
To create a new account simple hit F6 from the main menu
and respond to the subsequent prompts as required. If you
want to switch to another account without exiting the
program, hit F7 from the main menu and answer with the name
of the account -- password may be required.
o Account name parameters are allowed. For instance, if you
have created an account called "ACCOUNT" so that there is a
file called "ACCOUNT.DAT," and you want to run MONEY
MANAGER and go directly to this account, just type the
following: (from the DOS command line)
C>money account <ENTER>
NOTE: if the account is password protected, you will still
be required to enter it as usual.
