- select (B) Printer for list to and (E) Tape # for sort by.
-
- 2. The Large Report cannot be listed to the screen.
-
- 3. Your selection for Sort By may be overridden if you have selected (B)
- List Some Movies. If you selected List Some Movies, you will go to
- the MOVIE SELECTOR screen after completing the current screen. If one
- of the fields you list to search on is a key field (ie title, star, co-
- star, director or tape#), the first key field you list will become the
- default Sort By selection. By doing this, the search of the library
- file is rapidly speeded up.
