PMCARD
Jeff Prosise October 30, 1990 (Utilities)
Purpose: An OS/2 Presentation Manager utility that stores and retrieves
names, addresses, and telephone numbers. The program can search its data file
for a specified string and, if a modem is connected, it can dial the phone.
Format: PMCARD [filename]
Remarks: PMCARD (short for CardFile for Presentation Manager) can be
given a card data [filename] either on the command line or in its Settings
menu. If you run the program for the first time without specifying a
filename, it will present a blank card. Information can be entered in any
form, up to six lines per card. New blank cards can be inserted at a
particular position by selecting Insert Card with the mouse or by pressing F4.
The clipboard commands can be used to copy information to additional cards and
to exchange information with other PM applications. Phone numbers may include
hyphens, spaces, commas, and parentheses; two phone numbers listed on the same
line must be separated by at least one other character than these.
There are three ways to search for user-specified text strings: click
on the Srch button, select Search from the Options menu, or press F5. You can
specify whether searches should be case sensitive or not by checking or
unchecking the case sensitive box in the Search dialog box. The default
communications parameters are COM1, 1200 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1
and hang-up command strings from the Settings menu. Thereafter, if you
connect a modem, you can call a number by using the Dial button or F9. The
number you wish to call is displayed in the dialog box entry field and may
changed or entered manually.
The major CardFile mouse-selectable commands, together with keyboard
alternatives, are shown below:
