Running the Stack...
 
You may Clean the stack or empty its contents by pushing the Clean stack button. Normally, this is done only prior to importing a new text file. MacWizards has new text files available on a monthly or quarterly basis for $3.00 each. These updates can be imported into PD Pig Out!‚Ñ¢ for your use.
 
The Import Files button simply asks you for the Allfiles.db text file to update your copy of PD Pig Out!‚Ñ¢. You can use the Clean stack button first and import all the files or just import the new records since your last install.
 
Pushing the Find File Button will search for your selected text string in this massive stack. It is a good idea to use at least the first 4-5 characters of the word you are looking for. Once it locates a record that matches your request, you can hit a carriage return to continue the search with the same key word.
 
Pushing the View files button simply takes you to the descriptions area for viewing. Once you have reached this card you can search the library manually using the arrow buttons or the show all button will display them at the rate of about 1 per second. Watch out this guy may wink at you!
 
Searching thoughts...
