M NO² List Manager Overview The list manager is designed to sort, modify and report columnar files. Modfications can be limited to a section of a file (such as a table within a letter) by defining a block. A block is identfied by a marker in column two next to the records in the block. Each line of the file is defined as a record. The current record is highlighted with the cursor next to it. Columns can be defined as fields using the create²F√ields command. Fields are used to sort, move, and search data. They are identfied with a letter A to Z. A marked record is identfied by a ²√ next to the record. Only marked records will be written with the ²R√eport function. ²1√ - Available Commands ²2√ - Function and cursor key use NMPSWXY[v]O² Available Commands ²M√arkRecords - Marks records meeting a search criteria - ²1√ for more ²R√eport - Writes a report using marked records - ²2√ for more ²D√elete - Deletes the current record ²A√dd - Add a new record - ²3√ for more ²E√dit - Edit the current record - ²3√ for more Create²F√ields - Create/modify fields - ²4√ for more ²S√ort - Sort records - ²5√ for more ²O√rder - Change field order or delete columns - ²6√ for more ²C√alculate - Total, average, or count a field - ²7√ for more ²L√ocate - Locate a text string in the file - ²8√ for more ²G√oto - Go to a specfic record number - ²8√ for more ²T√op - Go to the top of file ²B√ottom - Go to the bottom of file ²Q√uit - Exit the list manager ²9√ - Function and cursor key use ONb`² Function/Cursor key use ²Function keys ²F1√ - Identify a block - ²1√ for more ²F2√ - Move to next marked (²√) record ²F7√ - Toggle between display of all data and display of only field data ²F8√ - Modify record marking format during search - ²2√ for more ²F9√ - Mark/Unmark current record ²F10√ - Mark/Unmark all records ²Cursor movement File movement ² √,² √,²ret√ - Move up/down one record ²√,²√,²tab√ - Right/Left ²pgup√ - Move up 12 lines ²home√ - Display column 1 ²pgdn√ - Move down 12 lines ²end√ - Display end of line ²T√ - Top of file ²B√ - Bottom of file PNQRX² Mark Records Search the file and mark records meeting the search criteria.

Due to memory constraints all of these cells can not be filled, but, a blank cell will never use any space. Cells are expressed as page column row -- For example ²1G23√ is page ²1√ column ²G√ and row ²23 / is not required to enter commands -- simply enter commands as listed on the top and bottom of the screen. ²F2√ toggles between type in and arrow keys during entry of equations or ranges. Learn/Recall keys (cF1 to cF8 and aF1 to aF8) can be used to learn current cell or recall a learned cell. Equations are calculated in the following hierarchy: values in (), functions ( SQRT, LOG, SIN, etc.), .., ^, /, *, +, then left to right ²1√ - Available commands ²2√ - General cell entry ²3√ - Cursor or screen movement keys ²4√ - Equation information ed ² Equations Available operators are: ..

Without parenthesis calculation order is: functions, .. (sum), ^ (exponential), /, *, +, -, then left to right Examples: 2.0 * 4.0 + 5.0 * 3.0 Gives: 23.00 2.0 * ( 4.0 + 5.0 ) * 3.0 54.00 SQR(5.0) * 2.0 + 9.0 59.00 1A1..3B4 Sum of values in the cube from 1A1 to 3B4 SQR(1B2..1D5) + 5.0 * 3.0 Sum from 1B2 to 1D5 squared plus 15.00 (12.67 * 1A1) ^ SIN(1B2..1D5 + 2G6) Equations can be complex fdqh² Movement Keys ²arrow keys√ - Move cursor up/down/right/left one cell. ²pgup, pgdn√ - Scroll spreadsheet up/down a half screen. ²ctrl right/left arrow√ - Scroll spreadsheet right/left a half screen. ²ctrlPgdn, ctrlPgup√ - Move to next/previous page. ²home√ - Move to column A of current row. ²end√ - Move to last occupied cell on current row. ²alt T√ - Move to the top of page. ²alt B√ - Move to the last occupied cell on page. ²F3√ - Go to specified cell. ²F9√ - Go to specified cell or memorize current cell.
