DAYO MENU TJS LAB Page: 3
■ MAIN MENU
From the main menu, use the arrow keys to highlight the menu option/DAYO
module that you wish to run, then press Enter/Return. After you exit that
DAYO module, you will return to this menu.
Pressing the first digit will jump down to the next occurrence of that
digit (ie: Pressing 'A' would jump to AR, another press of 'A' would jump
to AP...).
The last options on the menu are the Configuration and MISC Routines.

■ PASSWORD/NAME
From the main menu you can enter any of the modules, but some of them
require a password. Passwords for the Configuration and MISC Routines options
must be maintained via the DAYO Passwords program. For added security,
another option exists which is to add a password to the individual record.
The additional password is kept in a field by the same name, at the 'right
end' of the record...
Before entering the Configuration or MISC Routines menu options, the
following screen will appear asking you for your name, or ID/Password if you
had installed DAYO Passwords in the current directory:

■ MISC ROUTINES
- The MISC routines is a collection of 17 very useful Database Management
Routines. These routines provide you with the 'ability to do whatever was
left out of the rest of the program...'. These routines were modeled after
dBase (tm) III+/IV functions. Familiarity with dBase will help with the
understanding and execution of these routines.
USE WITH CAUTION!
YOU CAN ENHANCE AND CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROGRAM WITH THESE ROUTINES
YOU CAN ALSO MESS THINGS UP PERMANENTLY!

■ CREATE DATABASE
- Create a new database. This routine lets you create entirely new database
structures. At the FIELD_NAME field, enter a unique field name. At the
FIELD_TYPE field, enter a 'C' for character, 'N' for numeric, 'D' for Date,
'L' for logical or 'M' for memofield. At the FIELD_LEN field, enter the
size/length of the character and/or numeric field. At the FIELD_DEC field,
enter the number of decimals for the numeric field.

■ MODIFY DATABASE
- Change the fields/structure of a database. You can add new fields, delete
fields, change the length and type of field in any of the databases. At the
FIELD_NAME field, enter a unique field name. At the FIELD_TYPE field, enter
a 'C' for character, 'N' for numeric, 'D' for Date, 'L' for logical or 'M'
for memofield. At the FIELD_LEN field, enter the size/length of the
character and/or numeric field. At the FIELD_DEC field, enter the number of
decimals for the numeric field.

■ EXPANDED HELP
After Version 1.3, expanded help routines were added to all DAYO modules.
At almost all prompts and menus you can press F1 for help. Help can be a
function key message as displayed on previous page, a message that you have
created (user defined & inputted), or the ability to read the documentation
on the screen (saves paper).
■ USER DEFINED & INPUTTED HELP SCREENS/MESSAGES
If you press F1 and no user defined & inputted message exists for that
section of the program you are currently in you will receive a message to
this effect, and then a blank/empty screen.
The editing keys for this option are the same as for the Simple Editor
(previous page).
