- This program was written to be friendly. At the main menu pick

- searching for. Scroll to the proper record, then Press Enter key.
- To add fresh records, Press Insert key at any search screen. To
- delete obsolete records, Press Delete key at any search screen.
- To record the new information, Press F2 key. To leave a screen,

- In the unlikely event this program stops searching properly, simply

- The program will rebuild these key files for you.
- If you want to remove all of your data to start from scratch, delete
- the files above and [file name].DAT and [file name].MEM. The program
- will generate new empty files for you the next time you initiate it.

- After 20 years in the business world, I have discovered a leading
- cause of stress. I call it brain stuffing. "Brain stuffing is where
- you are using your long term memory too many times each day."
- The solution is to write down notes, names, and events. But then
- you still need to remember where you left the notes. Ugh!
- After all of these years I have learned to hate the "Rolo-Dex"
- the most. First, where is it? "I thought I saw it around here
- somewhere." Second, it is always a mess. "Who pulled out the
- card on 'XYZ' company?" Third, "I wish 'XYZ' company would not
- change Reps every other month. This card is an inch thick with
- white-out."
- If all of this sounds familiar, you will love this program.
- You will know where your list is at all times. Plus you can search
- by Company, Department/Classification and Personnel (First/Last).
- Look at the "Business" file for actual ideas.

- A "Multi-Data" file is the answer to the limitations imposed by programs
- that "store" all of your records in one data file.
- Here is an example. Suppose you and your boss are using this program, and
- it is your job to keep the data file (with client list) up to date. Most
- other programs would make you run two separate copies of their program in
- order to maintain two different data files.
- With this program, simply Press Ctrl F key, then Press INSERT key. You can
- now create and maintain another data file. Your only limit to the number
- of data files that you can create is the size of your disk drive.
- Now you can have separate lists (files) for Personal Data, Client Data,
- Customer Data, and so on.
- Now when your boss needs a current client data file, simply make a copy of
- your Client.DAT and Client.K01 - Client.K04 files. Your boss won't end up
- with your Personal list, and you won't overwrite his or her Personal list.
- To locate a record, perform the following steps.
- Type in part of the name you are searching for.
- When the cyan bar is on the correct name,
- Press Enter key.
- To Add a record, Press Insert key.
- To Delete a record, Press Delete key.
- To Copy a record, Press Alt C key.
- To perform BATCH entry of new records,
- Press Gray colored + key.
- To print out a page of the current record,
- Press F8 key.
- 0 @
- Type in your data in the fields shown. To move
- around the screen, use the
- keys.
- If the mailing address is the same as the street
- address, simply leave these fields blank. The
- program will fill these fields in for you.
- To Save your new data or change, Press F2 key.
- To Exit without saving any change, Press F7 key.
