FileThis menu works with your data files. There are functions to make back-up
copies to floppy disk, restore copies from floppy disk, format floppy disks,
and exit (end) the programme.
Set-upThis screen lets you set operating parameters for WVH including
whether or not to allow entry of a labor rate on the Maintenance Data Entry
screen and the sales tax rate (if any) to add to the parts cost.
Back-upUse this to make a back-up copy of your data files. You must have
a formatted floppy disk ready. You can use the same back-up disk over and
over again (the new copy will over-write the old one), but it may be a
good idea to alternate at least three back-up copies.~~|Advice|~~ Use a
rotating back-up scheme. Make regular back-ups. Isn't your information
worth protecting?
RestoreUse this to recover your data files from a back-up copy. This
is useful if your data files become damaged or are accidentally
erased.~~|CAUTION|~~Restoring data files |erases| any data files of
the same name which exist. If you need to restore a single file, do
so manually from the DOS prompt.
Format FloppiesBefore you use a floppy disk it must be formatted. When
you select this option a search for the file WFF.EXE is made. If found,
What Floppy Format? is run; otherwise, you will be asked for the drive
and type of disk you wish to format.~~|CAUTION|~~Formatting completely
erases any information which may be on a disk.~~|NOTES|~~Your DOS |path|
must point to |format.com| (which is probably in your DOS directory). If
it does not you will see 'Bad command or file name' flash on your screen
and disks will not be formatted.
ExitUse this option to end the program and return to DOS.
Data EntryThese screens let you enter information about the vehicles your
company has, the divisions or departments in your company, and the types of
service (usually 3,000 mile service, 6,000 mile service, etc.). Once you
have set-up your vehicles, divisions, and service codes, you can use the
Maintenance option to enter service information.

on a vehicle, including parts used. The steps in this process are:~~
|1.| Select a vehicle~|2.| Select a service code~|3.| Select a date or
"new"~|4.| Enter the service information.~~Step 4, entering the
service information, has three windows. You can |jump| between the
windows by pressing the |F6| key. See the bottom of your screen for
other special action keys.
Data Entry ── DivisionsThis lets you set up the divisions/departments in your
company. These divisions are used for billing purposes. Special function

Data Entry ── Service CodesThis allows you to enter service codes you will use
to identify the type of service given to a vehicle (e.g., 3,000 mile service,
6,000 mile service, etc.). Special function keys are displayed at the bottom
of the screen.

department for each Place of Service and/or employee who performs service
work. You can press Esc to skip defining a department for a code. When
