The List Converter Control Keys
-------------------------------
The following control keys are available while using List Converter:
=============================================================================
Control Key Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Alt><L> This key combination will load a sample file list and
display the file list's first line in List Converter's
file list display line.
<Down Arrow> Displays the next line in the sample file list.
<Up Arrow> Displays the previous line in the sample file list.
<Left Arrow> Moves the template line's cursor to the next character
position.
<Right Arrow> Moves the template line's cursor to the previous
character position.
<Pg Dn> Displays the next template.
<Pg Up> Displays the previous template.
<Alt><S> This key combination saves the revised templates. List
Converter will prompt you to name the "User Defined"
template. If you do not want to save the "User Defined"
template, just leave the name blank and List. Converter
won't bother to save it.
<F> Sets the starting position for the file's name in the
file list template.
<L> Sets the starting and ending positions for the file's
length in the file list template. Because the file length
can be a variable length field, pressing <L> the first
time will only mark the starting position for the file
length. Once you have marked the file length's starting
position, move the template line's cursor to the right
and press <L> again to define the file length's ending
position.
<D> Sets the starting position for the file's date in the
file list template. You should note that List
Converter can work with dates using either the MM-DD-YY
or YYMMDD formats. MM-DD-YY is the default format. You
can toggle this to the YYMMDD format, by leaving the
template line's cursor in the date's first position and
pressing <D> again.
<X> Sets the starting position for the file's description.
List Converter assumes that the description's ending
position is the end of the line.
<Alt><X> This key combination starts the conversion process.
List Converter will ask you to enter the file name for
the file list(s) to be converted. You can use DOS wild
card characters to specify multiple files in a single
directory. List Converter will then ask you to enter
the name of the directory that you want the converted
file list(s) to be placed in. Please note that List
Converter will use the original file list's name for
the converted file list; therefore, you should not
specify the same directory where the original file
list(s) are located.
