MACRO: A macro saves the screen full of options in a file for later use.
To list existing macro names, type LISTMAC and press the End key.
To make a new macro, enter a macro name, then enter data, THEN press
the End key to save the macro. A NONEXISTENT error message will
indicate that the name doesn't exist. Press End again to continue.
To change a macro, enter the existing macro name and press the End
key. The NONEXISTENT message will appear if the macro does not
exist. Try again. Make any changes and press the End key to save.
TIME UNITS: Graph data by Day, Week, Month, or Year.
ROLLING TIME FRAME: Enter a number from 1 to 37, and that number of Days,
Weeks, etc. prior to today's date will be plotted. To use the
following Start and End dates, leave the Rolling Time field blank.
START AND END DATEs: If the Rolling Time field is blank, the program will
plot data starting and ending on the selected dates (mo/da/yr).
PRINT TO SCREEN OR PRINTER: Enter a P to print on the printer or S to print
on the screen. See next help screen for hardware required.
#4 Checking Account Graphing Page 2 of 3
Screen printing works with both mono and graphics monitors. Printers
need the ability to print the entire IBM "extended ASCII" character
set. The graphs do not require a graphics capability. They consist
entirely of text characters. Confused? So is the computer industry.
PRINT TO DISK: Enter a filename here to print the graph to a disk file that
may be printed on the screen or printer at a later time. As print
files are entirely text, they may be merged with all word processor
text documents. No graphics capability is needed.
ACCUMULATE TOTALS: Enter N to plot just the amount pertaining to a given time
slot. Enter a Y to plot a cumulative total of the amount in the
given time slot plus the amount in the previously plotted time slot.
POLARITY: + Deposits, interest, and positive dollar amounts are above the
axis, expenditures and negative amounts are below the axis.
0 All amounts are above the axis, regardless of sign.
- The reverse of using + (negative above, positive below the axis)
SHOW GRID LINES: Y to print grid lines, N to not print grid lines.

CHECKING ACCOUNT NUMBER: Select account number 1 to 16.
SELECT PURCHASE ...: To plot data from the entire account, put an E in the
box. To plot just one Purchase Group, put the group number in the
box. Budget limit will not print if the entire account is selected.
To view list of groups, enter group 999, then press the End key.
SELECT TRANSACTIONS: Select the type of data to be printed on each of 4 plots
(i.e., 4 bars can print on one chart). If more than one type is
selected, it will be added algebraically to the other types selected.
COLOR: Select a color for each of the plots selected. Colors for your moni-
tor appear as 0-15 below this field. Monochrome monitor users will
probably select one color for all plots, but use a different STYLE.
STYLE: Select a style for each plot. The styles (A-D) appear above this
field. Color monitor users will probably select style A with 4
different colors. For
