The Transaction requester allows for the editing of the
four types of transactions (Checks, Other Debits,
Deposits, and Other Credits). You select the type of
transaction to edit from the Main Screen's Edit Menu.
For more information, consult the Main Help Screen.
New transactions can be either added (ADD function) to
the current checkbook or not entered at all (CANCEL);
checks can additionally be voided (VOID). Previously
entered transactions (chosen by double-clicking on the
transaction shown in the transaction list on the Main
Screen) can be either updated (UPDATE), deleted
(DELETE), or left unaltered (CANCEL); and also voided
(VOID) if it is a check. Once a check becomes voided,
none of its information can be edited. The only
functions available for voided checks are DELETE and
CANCEL.
If Batch Mode is ON [see the Main Help Screen], selecting
the ADD option will bring up a new transaction of the
same type to edit. To exit Batch Mode editing, select
CANCEL. NOTE: This will neither enter the current
transaction into the checkbook nor toggle Batch Mode to
its OFF state.
After entering new or updating entered transactions,
the running and checkbook balances are automatically
updated.
----------------------------------------------------
The following lists the string gadgets which hold the
transaction's description. Any input requiring a
certain format will be noted after the description.

PAY
For checks, this is the payee description. For the
other types of transactions, this can be a more
specific description than the default
"OTHER DEBIT", "DEPOSIT", or "OTHER CREDIT". You
can customize it to whatever you want.
AMOUNT ($)
The dollar value of the transaction.
FORMAT: nnn,nnn.nn

The following lists, by menu, the operations possible
through the Transaction requester along with their
keyboard equivalents. All the functions below have
equivalent gadgets, selected with the mouse. If you
forget the keyboard equivalents, each gadget has a black
underscored letter which is the key to press with the
RIGHT-AMIGA key.
FUNCTION SELECTED BY
-------- -----------
Transaction Menu
----------------
Add/Update RIGHT-AMIGA A
For initial editing (Add), this function includes
the current transaction into the checkbook as the
last transaction. For previously entered
transactions (Update), this updates its information
and modifies the checkbook balance to reflect any
changes to the transaction's amount.
NOTE: Adding/Updating a transaction which, because
of the changes made to it makes it a non-
viewable transaction (as selected by View
from the Main Screen), will immediately
remove it from the transaction list.
Delete RIGHT-AMIGA D
Removes the current transaction from the checkbook.
This function is only selected for previously
entered transactions.
Void RIGHT-AMIGA V
Cancels the usage of a transaction. This function
is only activated for checks.
Tax RIGHT-AMIGA T
Indicates this transaction is either tax deductible
or used for tax purposes.
Budget RIGHT-AMIGA B
For credits, this function designates the amount as
being reserved for a specific type of expense.
For debits, the transactions' amount is being
charged to the selected budget.
Cancel RIGHT-AMIGA N
Terminates the current editing session. If the
transaction was newly created (selected from the
Edit Menu of the Main Screen), then this function
does not place it into the checkbook. If the
transaction was previously entered (selected by
double-clicking on the entry in the transaction
list of the Main Screen), this function ignores any
changes made during the current editing session and
replaces the previous values.
