Chapter 5
THE DATA PROCESSOR
So the secretary will always be in business, as will the data
processor. Processing real data in record form. There is a lot
of information that needs to be stored on file-card type records.
And then grouped and regrouped and processed in many different
ways. This is the job for the real data processor! There are
programs like DataBase III and File Express and the like which
are geared to the file-card set up. Custom outlines or forms
are made first and then the information is entered on the forms
one record or card at a time. It's as easy as that. The newer
programs however are more user friendly with better and more fun
graphics to help you make the proper entries. They are MENU
DRIVEN rather than the old way of being COMMAND LINE driven.
That means that instead of having to write out every command
(exactly and precisely), now there are accessible MENUS that can
be accessed at the top or bottom of the screen with lists of
commands on them. All you need to do here is to highlight the
line you want and hit the enter key. There is no typing of
commands. This is more USER-FRIENDLY than all that typing! See
what we mean, now, by user-friendly.
