- This is the TMC Rolodex, an online way to store and retrieve information
- about people you know, and other important pieces of data.
- Data is stored in units called entries.. There will generally be an entry
- for each person in your rolodex. Inside entries are items. Items store such
- things as a person's name, his phone number(s), and address(es). You can
- change items or add new ones. You can create or delete entire entries also.
- At any time you can type the character '\' followed by RETURN to abort
- what you are currently doing. Most of the time '?' or 'help' followed by
- RETURN will get you more information on what you are expected to type in next.
- If for some reason you wish to terminate the rolodex program without
- saving any changes you have made, hold down the CTRL key and type 'c'.
-
- When you are searching for information, typing in any part of the
- information that uniquely identifies it is good enough. For instance, if you
- were looking for John Finklesnort, typing 'John' is probably not a good idea
- because you probably have a few names that contain 'John', but typing 'Finkle'
- or 'snort' will probably uniquely identify the entry you want. The search
- program is completely case-insensitive.
- The rolodex search is completely case-insensitive (e.g., searching for
- 'Finkle' is the same as searching for 'finkle' is the same as 'fInKLe').
