======================= CCI Home Budget ========================
2.4 Keyboard
------------
The program can best be used from the number pad with the number
lock "on" for fast single key stroke operation.
Continuous error checking of input allows only correct types of
input. The program beeps when a bad key is hit and/or a warning
message is displayed.
Use the "Backspace" key to erase the last key stroke(s).
"<SB>" means spacebar.
Enter a blank space to clear any string (text) value.
Pressing <ENTER> at an input prompt is considered a continue
command if no data is entered, or entered and then erased using
the backspace key. A continue command does not effect any
existing values.
