- Create your own on-line Help/Data Screen!
-
- This option allows you to define your own industry-specific Help/Data ì
- screen and then view it anytime throughout the program by entering ì
- 'F1'.
-
- Some applications require that you have detailed lists or codes nearby as ì
- you do data entry into the program. This would be particularly true if ì
- you are trying to enter codes specific to your industry into the Client ì
- or activity records.
-
- This Help/Data screen can contain a few entries or up to 15,000 ì
- characters. You can either input this industry specific information at the ì
- keyboard or, if already typed, import an external text file in place of ì
- your manual typing.
-
- Observe this option on the Main Program Menu:
-
- A) Create an on-line Help/Data screen [ now Off]
-
- Note this menu:

- Note that this menu is similar in function to the one described in ì
- Appendix K, Memo Options, with one exception: at this menu, you have ì
- option 8. This allows you to turn 'On' or 'Off' the Help/Data screen.
-
- The memo you create here is accessible throughout the entire program ì
- just by entering the 'F1' function key!
- è
- This menu will tell you at a glance the number of characters in the memo, ì
- the current margins, and today's date. You can input an existing text file ì
- into the memo with options 3 or 4. As your memo begins to grow and ì
- accumulate different items, you can output it to an external text file ì
- using option 2.
-
-
- Option 1 puts you into the edit mode. In this option you are presented ì
- with a full screen word processor with the following message on the bottom ì
- of the screen:
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Edit Screen Codes:
- Up arrow = move up 1 line, Down arrow = move down 1 line, Left Arrow = move
- left 1 character, Right arrow = move right 1 word, HOME = start of current
- line, END = end of current line, [CONTROL] HOME= start of memo, [CONTROL]
- END = end of memo, PgUp = Next edit window up, PgDn = Next edit window down,
- [CONTROL] W = Finished editing and save, ESC = abort editing.
- Use [INS] key for inserting text, [DEL] to delete, [CONTROL] B to reformat
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This message gives you the codes that you can use in the full screen word ì
- processor. Immediately above these codes you will observe your cursor. ì
- You can type as long as you wish, just as in any other word processor. ì
- When finished entering text, you can save it by entering [CONTROL] W, as ì
- per the instructions.
-
- After you become conversant with the codes, you can replace the six lines ì
- of the above instructions with this one line:
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- Edit Screen Codes: [CONTROL] W to save, ESC to abort
- --------------------------------------------------------------

- screens, enter option 6 on the Memo Options Menu.
