POWER BUDGET is a powerful, commercial quality program. It
is an expandable budgeting system that will make keeping track of
your money much easier. POWER BUDGET is set up like a fixed
spreadsheet, meaning you can move left, right, up or down using
your cursor keys, mouse, or a joystick plugged into port #2.
Items that you enter into this spreadsheet may be changed at will
and the entire spreadsheet can be recalculated to update your
figures.
Using the REPORT feature, you can print out an extensive
report for the entire year or just one month -- easy as pie.
POWER BUDGET is also set up so that you can make easy projections
with tentative budgets for an entire year. With POWER BUDGET you
can use one of two onboard calculators to make correcting your
data quick and easy.
POWER BUDGET is menu driven and thus easy to use since there
are no complicated commands to remember. To select any option on
POWER BUDGET's main menu, move the cursor over to the desired
option with the cursor keys, joystick or mouse. When the desired
option is selected, press RETURN, CLICK or FIRE.

FOR HELP, WITH ANY OPTION ON THE MAIN MENU, move the cursor
to the desired option but instead of pressing RETURN, press
CTRL-H for help. Make sure that a POWER BUDGET disk in in the
drive with all the help files copied. These help files are
actually bits and snatches of this expanded manual always at hand
for your convenience.
