- This option will allow you to see a monthly calendar for any date you
- desire, from now until the year 2040. The current month (or whatever month
- you've selected will appear at the top-center of the screen. The preceding
- month will appear to its left, and the next four succeeding months will appear
- to its right and below it. If you wish another month to be centered at the
- top, enter at the prompt any date during that month.
- You can also use the arrow keys to change the months shown. And pressing
- the `Home' key will return you to today.
- This option is particularly useful if you want to see the day of the
- week on which a particular date falls. Assume, for instance, that you want to
- know the day of the week for the date 55 days from now. Simply enter today's
- date, followed by "+55" (eg: "12 DEC 88 +55"). The desired date will be
- highlighted in the small calendar at the top center of the screen.
- To find the number of days between two dates, enter the first date, then
- a dash, then the second date (eg: "1 Jan 89 - 12 Mar 89").
-
- IMPORTANT: If you press the ESC key to return to the main calendar menu, you
- will return to where you left it. If, however, you press <─┘ to return to the
- main calendar menu, the date highlighted there will be the last date you used
- in this routine. Another use of this routine, therefore, is to quickly skip
- several years forward or backward.
