The Key Word Search:

You may search for, "Find" or "List" records by using  Key Word Search.

When selecting a key word search you will prompted about searching all
fields or specific fields.  A response to search specifc fields will
cause a list all the field names to be listed on the screen with their
respective field numbers. You may then select the number of the field to
search followed by pressing return and then entering a sign (see below)
and the key word you want to search for. You may search addtional fields
by entering another field number and then the same or another key word.
When searching all fields you are only prompted for the search word.

The following Signs are used in Key Word searches:  The sign '=' means
to find a character, word or phrase equal to the 'Key Word' entered.
The sign '>' means to search for an item equal to, or greater than the
'Key Word'. And the sign '<' is for equal to or less than the key. Not
entering any sign for a key word search is the same as ''='' equal to.

Index Search:

You may search for, "Find" or "List" records by using an Index.

When selecting an Index for Finding or Listing records you will be
prompted for which index to use. (The first 3 fields are automatically
indexed.) With "List" function you will be prompted for which index and
then prompted for the word to search for. With the "Find" function the
a blank record is displayed and you enter the word to search for in the
blank field.

Index searchs are the fastest method for locating or listing records.

Using the Sort function cause the records to be listed in order based
upon the index search word. For example entering the 1000 in a numeric
index causes the sort to be for all records with 1000 or less. If the
field is Alphabetic then the sort will be in alphabetic order.

Using the Find function also prompts you about paging forward or
backwards through the records after the first record is found.
