- ══════ Help ══════
-
- This document being read can also be accessed from within
- Personal Recipe Cookbook. With the use of the <F1> key select
- Document from the menu.
- There are some useful commands while viewing this document.
- The <Alt-S> key allows you to search the text for a word or
- phrase and the <Alt-A> key allows you to search for the next
- occurrence. One thing to remember, searches begin from the area
- thats being viewed. If you want to search the whole document you
- must go to the beginning of the text to do so.
-
- ─────────────────────────────
-
- From the Main Menu there are 5 important areas to this program.
- Each one has functions that need some explanation.
-
-
- ═════ Recipe Add/Edit/VIEW ═════
-
- This choice directs you to another menu were you can add a
- recipe. It must be noted that not all these commands are
- available for use with the different options.
-
- Explanation of the commands:
- <F2> brings up a list of categories to choose from for the Main
- Category. Use the arrow keys to scroll up or down the list and
- make your choice. Then use the <ENTER> key to write your choice
- to your record. The SUB CATEGORY is an added field that you can
- use to further define the recipe record your presently working
- on. This field has no real significance in doing searches or
- cataloging the recipe in this program. However it may be useful
- when index cards are used with a card file.
-
- <F3> brings up a handy measurement chart for reference. This
- chart can be printed to your printer at anytime from the chart
- or the Print Menu.
-
- <F5> lets you print the recipe while still in the record. It's
- important to note that selecting this option from the record
- prints just the recipe you are viewing in a set format.
- If you make note of the recipe and go to the Print Menu you have
- different options for printing this recipe.
-
- <F9> lets you see the previous record.
-
- <F10> lets you go to the next record.
-
- <PgUp> & <PgDwn> Either key can be used to switch between page_1
- and page_2 of your recipe to give you the ability to add more
- ingredients if needed.

-
- ═════ Utilities ═════
-
- When you choose UTILITIES you are directed to another menu that
- lets you import/export recipes, compact the database
- & view/print the Measurement Chart.
-
- The MEASUREMENT CHART is the same chart that is available in
- Add/Edit & Search.
-
- COMPACT THE DATABASE when you do some editing and deleting of
- files. This utility rearranges your recipes so that they are
- written next to each other on your disk.
-
- IMPORT/EXPORT RECIPE: Recipes that are exported in a
- REC_TRAN.DBF file format can be imported (added) to your
- database. It must be noted that this format is used only by
- Personal Recipe Cookbook so imports will be limited to recipes
- from others using this program.
- If the recipes that are being imported have different categories
- and abbreviations, make note of them. After you have brought
- them in, go to Category Add/Edit/Delete and add the new
- categories to your program. If this is not done you will not be
- able to search for these recipes using <F3>Category in any of
- search menus The only way to find these recipes is to then use
- the <F4> key to search directly for the recipe.
-
-
-
- ══════ Print Menu ══════
-
- Here you can select to print a recipe on a full sheet of paper
- and by card. You can also print the recipe index or category
- list. All of these selections give you the option to print to
- the printer, file or screen.
-
- PRINT RECIPE (card size) gives you two choices 3"x 5" & 4"x 6".
- Choose the size of card to print. The menu that gives you the
- option to print to printer, file or screen also has a utility
- that helps you align your cards for printing. Select the SETUP
- CARD FORMAT to do this.
-
- SIMULATE 3"x 5" Cards on 8 1/2"x 11" Paper: This selection goes
- right to the search menu to choose your recipe or recipes for
- printing and then gives you the option to print to printer/file
- or screen.
-
-
-
- ══════ Printer Configuration ══════
-
- You can select a printer from this menu. After you move the bar
- down to your choice press <ENTER>.
- The program can also be reconfigured from color/mono. After you
- have made your selections use the <ESC> key to exit and save.

- ══════Category Add/Edit/View ══════
-
- This file section is for adding Main Categories for use in the
- Recipe Add/Edit/View section. You are also asked to add an
- abbreviation of the Category you are entering. If you fail to do
- so the program will use the first 6 letters of the category name
- as an abbreviation. Editing categories should only be done if it
- is necessary. If categories are changed after they are used in
- recipes you will not be able to locate those recipes with
- category searches. You will have to search for the recipe
- directly. Another alternative is to go through your recipes and
- edit that field (main category).
-
- See Import/Export Recipe for more information on categories.
