sensitive help is available by pressing F1 while viewing

Basic Operations
------------------------------------------------------------
Keeping Your System Date Accurate
---------------------------------
Cash for Kids uses your system date to determine when to add
recurring transactions like allowances. It is important that the
date is correct. A warning message reminds you whenever the
system date is more than a month apart from the date of your
Cash for Kids data file. If the system date is incorrect, exit
Cash for Kids and correct it at the Windows Control Panel.
International Dates
-------------------
Cash for Kids allows you to use the default Month-Day-Year
format or the Day-Month-Year format. Choose
Administration / Program Options from the Main Menu and
choose the format.
Creating a Bank Account
-----------------------
The Cash for Kids Main Menu is the screen with a picture
of a bank. Buttons for each account appear to the right of
this picture.
While viewing the Main Menu, choose Administration / New
Bank Account to view the Create a New Bank Account dialog
box. Type the Account Name and Starting Balance and choose OK.
Adding More than 6 Accounts
---------------------------
Cash for Kids can have 6 accounts per DOS subdirectory. If
you need more, install Cash for Kids again. This time choose
another path like C:\CFK2.
Using the Kid's Register
------------------------
After adding one or more Kid's accounts, choose an account
name button to view the Kid's Register.
...With Register Screen Keys
Cursor Up Move the Gray Rectangle up one transaction.
Cursor Down Move the Gray Rectangle down one transaction.

End Move to the last transaction in the register.

Page Down Page forwards through the register.
...With the Mouse

under the mouse pointer.
Double-click Move the Gray Rectangle to the transaction
under the mouse pointer and edit this
transaction.
Scrollbar Control movement through the Kid's Register.
100 Transactions per Kid's Register
-----------------------------------
Each Kid's Register holds 100 transactions. When you need to
add more than this, Cash for Kids throws away the oldest to
make room available. This keeps account management simple.
Cash for Kids shows your child the future rather than
dwelling on the past.
No Account Reconciliation Required
----------------------------------
While the Kid's Register looks similar to that of adult
checkbook programs, no reconciliation or balancing of
accounts is needed.
