PHONE is a memory resident utility designed to manage lists of phone
numbers. Once installed, PHONE uses about 25K of your computer's memory; just
press PHONE's user-selected "Hotkey" to view and edit lists of names and phone
numbers. Each phone list can hold up to 100 names and numbers. Multiple
phone lists may be stored on disk, too.
To install PHONE, type in ^1PHONE^0 at the DOS prompt. At this point,
PHONE displays the Hotkey which controls the current phone list. The default
Hotkey is <Ctrl>-<N>.
From the Phone List screen, you may add, change, or delete individual
"Name" and "Phone" entries. Use the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to scroll through
the phone list. Move between the "Name" and "Phone" blanks with the <ARROW
KEYS>.
To make an entry, type the person, company, etc. in "Name Field" and press
<ENTER>. Then type in the area code and phone number. Press <ENTER> after
the phone number has been entered. The information is now recorded and the
highlight bar moves to the "Name Field" in the next column.
To edit an entry, simply highlight the appropriate field and type in the
changes or additions. Phone numbers can be entered into either the American
Standard format [(###) ###-####] or the unconstrained Free Format; these
options are contained in F6 - Setup.
