              The next chapters describe the set up and management of
              groups.   Organizations,  Special Interest Groups, your
              Church  shepherds,   even  the  date  descriptions  you
              commonly track with your members, all of these and more
              we call "Group Processing" in CMS.

              To begin with "Group Processing:
              A. Press <Esc> until you get to the "Main Menu".
              B. Press <G> and then <Enter> to go the "Groups Menu"
              These are the features you can select from the Groups
              Menu:

              - Organization Processing.  Here you  work  with  Church
                Organizations, where you can change and  set   up  new
                organizations, and  generate   reports   and   labels.
                Organization's and  member's  attendance  records  are
                also maintained here.  See chapter  5.1  "Organization
                Processing" for details.

              - Interest Group Processing.  This  feature  deals  with
                Church Special Interest Groups, how to set them up and
                maintain them,  how  to  generate  reports and labels,
                etc.  See  chapter  5.2   " Special   Interest   Group

              - Clear Attendance. Here you can clear all attendance
                records.  Though this feature is also attendance
                related it is kept separate from the other attendance
                functions to prevent accidental loss of information.

                Organizations" for details.

              - Shepherd Processing.  Here you set up and maintain

              - Church Status Processing. Here you set up and define
                the different Church status categories you want to
                maintain.  See chapter 5.6 "Church Status Processing"
