- FileFinder New Entry Help:
-
- When you first enter into the "NewFile"
- screen, the next file number will be in
- the FileNumber field. This is for reference
- only, and cannot be modified. Even if you
- do change it, the same number originally
- displayed will be used. Also, this file
- will be displayed. From then on, you are
- on your own....
-
- 1: [SearchName]
- The first thing that you should do is enter
- in a "SearchName". This name is to enable
- the program to find your entry VIA a unique
- name. Also note that it is a priority field.
- That means that you cannot save your entry
- without filling in this field.
-
- <all other fields can be
- left blank....if you want>
-
- 2: [FileName]
- Next is the "FileName". This is your own
- personal name for your file. This is only
- required for the printing process. It will
- be used as your header name. It also gives
- you a rough idea what the heck the file is
- for.
-
- 3: [FileNumber]
- This field is generated by the program and
- cannot be changed at all. You can go into
- the field and amend the number, but the
- program will still save the original one
- generated
- <reference only>
-
- 4: [DateEntered]
- This field has been left up to the user
- (you), so you can input the date any way
- you wish. Thereby creating a format that
- is pleasing to yourself. Therefore, no
- search can be effected VIA the date of
- entry.
-
- 5: [BriefDescription]
- Well, this field is not that brief. This
- is a complete "LOG" where you can enter a
- description (contents) of the file. This
- can be any length, but is advised that you
- do not make it to long.
-
- 6: [SAVE BUTTON]
- The "save button" is just that. It will
- save your entry to the "Filefinder", file
- & clear all the fields.
- The FileNumber field will display the next
- number in sequence.
-
- 7: [HELP BUTTON]
- The "help button" will display the main
- help file.
-
- 8: [EXIT BUTTON]
- The "exit button" will exit you back to the
- main menu. If the SearchName field is not
- nil (there is something in the field), then
- you will be prompted to save your entry
- (yes/no).
-
- 9: [CLEAR BUTTON]
- If you happen to make an eror on input....
- you do not have to manually delete each
- field. The "clear button" will blank out
- all of the fields except the quick help
- and the File Number.
