11. Misc.
11.1 User
You are now viewing the user information. It is accessed
from the secondary menu screen by selecting User. An
alternative method is to print a copy of the file named
info.out on a line printer using the Print Manual command
below. A hard copy is thus provided for easy reference.
The User Manual is displayed in parts. The Menu Screen
allows access to each of the 18 sections one at a time.
Select the section and it will be displayed on the screen.
An alternate means of displaying a particular user manual
section is with the F1 Key. Striking F1 at any time will
cause the appropriate manual section to be displayed that
corresponds to the user screen currently in use. A word of
caution about the F1 Key invocation. The manual section is
displayed in reverse video. Some color combinations cause
strange and unreadable text. The user may need to choose
other color combinations in order to get legible on line
help displays.
If there is insufficient RAM to load the user manual into
memory, a message will print stating this fact, and
recommending that the hard copy of the user manual be used.
Machines with the minimum of 448K RAM may see this message.
11.2 Registration
Selecting Registration on the secondary menu will display
the registration information of the program owner, including
this copy's serial number. The ShareWare version shows the
developer as the registered owner.
11.3 Print Manual
A hard copy is printed on your line printer of the User
Manual. An opportunity is given to cancel the request since
the printing operation takes several minutes once it begins.
11.4 Determine Disk Space
Reports to the user the amount of disk space on the
designated data drive. The number is given in bytes.
11.5 Free Memory
Reports the amount of free RAM space that is available for
use by database files. The number is given Kbytes.

11.6 Calculator
A built in calculator is made available for simple
arithmetic calculations. Add (+), Subtract (-), Multiply
(*), Divide (/) and Clear (C) are provided. To exit the
calculator, enter a q or Q when in the operator input mode.
The calculator is available from the Misc Screen by
selecting Calculator, or by depressing the F2 key any time
on any screen.
The calculator is intended for monetary calculations. All
calculated results and user entries are rounded off to two
decimal places. User entered data may contain up to eight
significant figures with up to two decimal places.
Calculations that exceed 8 significant figures will cause
"Error" to display in the Results window.
If the F2 key is depressed when you are about to enter an
amount in the case of any Personal Checking transaction or a
Budget Cash transaction, the total or last calculation made
will be entered into the amount field displayed when the
calculator was invoked. In other words, the results of any
calculations will be entered directly into the transaction.
Invocations of the calculator elsewhere result in the
calculations being lost after the Calculator is exited.
11.7 Order Form
Making this selection brings up the Order form screen that
will generate and print an Invoice to register for the
Official version of PMIS. The user is prompted for their
name, address, city, state, zipcode, quantity, and disk
size. This information is then used to print the completed
Invoice on the user's printer. This order form along with a
check or money order for the total amount should then be
forwarded to the author at the location given on the form.
Within 24 hours of receipt, the author will forward the
latest version of PMIS with all the latest feature additions
and improvements to the person whose name is on the order
form.
