THE MENUS
As with most other AMIGA programs, moving the mouse pointer to the
windows title bar and holding down the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON reveals a
list or strip of 'MENUS'. By further mouse movement the contents of
each menu can be revealed and selected with the left mouse button. If
you are unfamiliar with this process please refer to your AMIGA's
manual which explains the process at some length.
PENNYWISE has four such menus:
THE PROJECT MENU options:
NEW..... To Create a NEW Pennywise File
(* NOTE: The Subscriber version will create new files
based on an old file's definition *)
OPEN.... To open another (existing) PENNYWISE Data File
CLOSE... Same as QUIT.. Closes all files and exits PENNYWISE
PRINT... For future expansion
ABOUT... About me, CVT and everything!
HELP.... That's how you got here!
QUIT... Same as CLOSE
THE EDIT MENU
EDIT... Edit/ change something in the current record item.
The cursor should appear in the first field to be
edited. If it doesn't, select the place to edit
with the MOUSE
FIND... Brings up the SCAN LIST or TRANSACTION SELECTION
window (whichever is appropriate) so you can select or find
a particular item.
DELETE..Allows you to delete an item. Note that debits and credits
applying to the item you want to delete must be set at
zero. YOU CANNOT DELETE AN ITEM THAT HAS SOME COSTING
ATTACHED TO IT!
NEW... Clears the current item from the window and allows you
enter a brand-new one!
SAVE NOW!. Exactly that... saves the current record. A
requester appears asking you to confirm the save action.
NOTE: ONLY WORKS IF THE RECORD NEEDS SAVING!
PENNYWISE is careful about unsaved records. It always
gives you a reminder if a record needs saving
UNDO!...Ahemm!!! I'm still working on this, but ideally it
restores the status quo if you've botched the current
entry!
THE SPECIAL MENU
SELECT TRANSACTION
ACCOUNT DETAILS
PAYEE/ PAYERR DETAILS
COSTING CENTRES
TRANSACTION TYPES
TRANSACTIONS
(* Selects the appropriate window and mode *)
SHOW NON-RECONCILED... Toggles the highliting of transactions
in the transaction selection window that have not
had the 'RECONCILED' date entered.
VALIDATE ALL... If you have doubts about the calculated results.
Recalculates all transactions afresh. Might
take a while!
REPORT OPTIONS... Takes you to the PENNYWISE REPORT
GENERATOR WINDOW
PREFERENCES WINDOW
DISPLAY TRANSACTIONS BY
DATE (of entry)
NUMBER (of cheque etc)
TYPE (Transaction Type)
NAME (Payees/ Payer name)
Determines how transactions are sorted and displayed in
the TRANSACTION SELECTION window
(*----------------------------------------------------------------*)
Those menu options that have a letter or number highlited at the right
may be selected by pressing the RIGHT AMIGA KEY and the specified key
at the same time.
For example [RIGHT AMIGA] and [N] will put you into NEW ENTRY mode
[RIGHT AMIGA] and [S] will save the record.
