This organization enables you to readily locate all items of a particular type - just click on the [image] icon to access the Sections Dialog; then select a section by clicking the left mouse button on the desired checkbox.  However, since each section has both an individual and a collective meaning, the best results will be obtained by reading each subject from 1 to 8.


RECORDS

The basic unit of deposit in the Idea Saving Bank is a record. Each record is like an index card that holds one paragraph of information.  Anyone who can fill out an index card can use this program.

Individual cards can be linked together to make a bigger paragraph.  Separate but related cards, using indexes, can be sent to printer or disk to make multi-paragraph reports, books, etc.

The text block of each index card is 60 characters wide by 11 lines deep.  Any text that can be entered into this structure is suitable for the Idea Savings Bank.

Each "index card" you fill out is filed in six electronic file cabinets.  Its position in each file cabinet is determined by what you put into the key fields listed below:

1. Record Number - Automatically assigned, can be edited.

xxxxxx	(6)

2. Author's Name - Two part key: Last Name + First Name.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx + xxxxxxxxxxxxxx	(30)

3. Subject - 3 part key: Subject + Section + Record Number.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx + x + xxxxxx	(20)

4. Book Code - Two part key: Book Code + Page Number.

xx + xxxx	(6)

5. Subtitle - Single key.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx	(13)

6. User Code - Single key.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx	(13)

The filing system is all set up.  The names, words and numbers you put into the key fields above determine how your "index cards" are arranged.

Use Add to type a new idea on a fresh card; use Edit to change an existing card (anytime a card is changed, the changes are reflected in all six file cabinets); use Browse or View to see an existing card on screen; use Print to send a report to the printer; use Write to send a report to a disk file.


INDEXES

Indexes allow you to access records in different sequences. A Key is data entered into a field on which an Index is maintained.

An Index is a sequential list of keys.  Each points to a different record; just like a phone book is indexed alphabetically with each name corresponding to a phone number.

Indexes can become easily corrupted and have a tendency to corrode over time.  You can restore them with the utility Tools|Rebuild Indexes.

The program maintains six indexes.  Your input of keys allows you to customize data retrieval and output in the sequences of your choice.  They are:

1. Record Number - Automatically assigned, can be edited.

xxxxxx	(6)

2. Author's Name - Two part key: Last Name + First Name.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx + xxxxxxxxxxxxxx	(30)

3. Subject - 3 part key: Subject + Section + Record Number.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx + x + xxxxxx	(20)

4. Book Code - Two part key: Book Code + Page Number.

xx + xxxx	(6)

5. Subtitle - Single key.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx	(13)

6. User Code - Single key.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx	(13)


FILTERS

Filters allow you customize program output.

They act as your electronic gatekeepers.

Their default state is OFF - they are asleep.

You can toggle them ON - wake them up.

Turn ON one or more to customize program output.

Here's how they work:

Each filter tests for its named quality.

The display gate opens only if the test is passed.

When multiple filters are ON it is only necessary

for a quote to pass one test to be shown.

Filter Name      	Factor*      	Group

Ancient Times    	  28%             	Time

Middle Ages      	  36%             	Time

Modern Era       	  36%             	Time

Short Selections 	  60%             	Size

Long Selections  	  40%             	Size

BROWSER OVERVIEW

The browser allows you to examine records in one line tabular format.

The browsing window offers a number of ways to control which records are displayed. One record is always highlighted and is considered to be the current record.  Double clicking on the highlighted record causes that record to be displayed in the View Screen.

When using the mouse, a click on the left mouse button triggers most actions. When the mouse pointer is on a scroll bar, clicking the left button causes a page move in the direction indicated by the pointer's position relative to the scroll bar "thumb".  Clicking while the pointer is on a scroll bar's arrow causes a single row or column scroll. Pressing the left mouse button while on the thumb allows dragging the thumb to a new location, which takes effect when the mouse button is released.  Clicking the mouse over a new row of the browser window moves the highlight to that row. Holding down the left button while the pointer is over the browsing window allows dragging the highlight bar to a new location.

See Browser Keyboard Commands for details about the effect keyboard input has on the browser.


BROWSER TIPS

Press any letter to move the Browser's highlight bar to the first record whose selected key string begins with that letter. If the active index is Subject then pressing either "B" or "b" will position the highlight bar on the first record in the subject of Beauty, which happens to be the first subject which begins with the letter "B."

Records can be arranged by any of the six available keys in the browser. You will notice that as you change Index Keys the Browser screen format will automatically change to a format that matches the selected key.  The current index key will be listed on the bottom of the browser screen.


BROWSER KEYBOARD COMMANDS

The following browser actions are associated with the keyboard:

Alphanumeric keys

Move the highlight bar to the first record whose selected key string begins with the entered character. If the current index is Author Name then pressing either "Z" or "z" will position the highlight on the first author whose last name begins with "Z" such as Zangwell.

<Up>, <Down>

Move the highlight bar up or down one row.

<CtrlHome>, <CtrlEnd>

Move the highlight to the first or last data record.

<PgUp>, <PgDn>

FIELDS

Record Number Field

The program automatically maintains a running count of Records entered.  The last record entered will have the highest number. Record Number is one of the six Key fields and is used as the tertiary sort field in the Subject index (Subject-Section-Record Number).

You can manually change record numbers when you're adding a new record or editing an existing record.

 Book Code Field

Enter a two character code for the source of your material., i.e. "AA", "3C", etc.  This field is the first part of Book Code Index The second part is the Book Page Field.

The program converts all letters to upper case when writing Keys so that aa sorts the same way as AA.

 Book Page Field

Enter the page numbers of your source in this field., i.e. "544", "2370", etc.  This field is the second part of  Book Code Index. The contents of this field are right adjusted.  If you make several entries from the same source, the program will order them by page number when your sort by Book Code.

 Subject Field

Enter any subject up to 13 characters in length.  This field is the first part of the Subject Index.  Some sample subjects include "Marriage" or "Success" or "Chapter 7" or "Essay Idea."

 Section Field

Enter any number from <1> to <9> in this field.

This field is the second part of the Subject Index and is used to differentiate between identical subjects. i.e. "Marriage 1" comes before "Marriage 2".  Section names have been assigned to numbers <1> to <8>.

 Subtitle Field

This field is one of the six system maintained indexes.  Enter any subtitle up to 13 characters in length.

We used this field to establish links to subjects.  When an item could go into two subjects, such as "War" and "Peace", the secondary subject goes into the Subtitle field.  Sometimes this field is referred to as a "Link."

 User Code Field

This field is one of the six system maintained indexes.  Enter any user defined code up to 13 characters in length.

 Author's Last Name Field

This field is the first part of the Author's Name Index which is one of the six system maintained Indexes.  The second part is the Author's First Name Field.  Use this field to enter the last name of the author up to 16 characters in length.

 Author's First Name Field

This field is the second part of the Author's Name Index.  Use this field to enter the first name of the author up to 15 characters in length.  Only the first 14 characters will be used for the index.

 Author's Display Name Field

This field enables access of Records by Author's Last Name - Author's First Name, but displays them in a First Name - Last Name - Dates format.  This is field you see in the View mode.

 Author's Bio Description Field

Use this field to enter a brief biographical snapshot of the source.  This field is 50 characters long.

 Book Name Field

Enter the full name of the book, magazine or newspaper source. This is field appears under the Author's Display Name Field in the View mode.

 Multi-Page Flag

Make this field True (T) if your idea spans more than one Record (anytime you need more than 11 lines of text).  This will suppress the writing of the Author's Display Name at the end of the eleventh line.  You can repeat this as many times as you like.

 Line Fields

Each Record contains eleven line fields.  Each of these fields is 60 characters long and is numbered 1 to 11.   Take a look at the Field Edit Commands to see what is available to you.

Each field is a separate entity.  There is no word wrap between fields.  Most of the output modes, such as Print, View and Write to Disk will remove any fields that are totally blank.   If 11 lines are insufficient you can link Records together by flipping the Multi-Page Flag Switch to True (T).  The default is False (F).

Hints, Tips and Useful Information
HINTS AND TIPS

Click the Tutor icon [image] for a short functional description of the other Toolbar Icons.

The [image] icon indicates a Subject Icon Menu. You can use the TAB key to move around.  Information about the selected icon appears at the bottom of the dialog box.  Numbered icons, in the lower left corner of the dialog, indicate multiple Subject Icon Menus.  Just click the numbered icon to access the menu.

The [image] icon lets you float to any section. Every subject is uniformly divided into sections such as Positive, Negative, Advice, etc.

TO FIND JOKES:  Click [image] icon; select subject.  Click [image] icon; click the Jokes radio button.

Use the [image] icon to set filters or toggle them off. Filters are electronic gatekeepers.  They allow you to customize the quotes that are displayed.

Quote-A-Day enables you to start every Windows session with a quote or joke.  Just copy the program icon to your StartUp group and start the program with the D command switch.

Just press any letter when you're in the Browser, and the highlight bar will immediately move to the first record whose key string, in the currently Active Index, begins with that letter.  The currently Active Index is displayed at the bottom of the Browser screen.


QUOTE-A-DAY

Quote-A-Day enables you to start every Windows session with a random quote from the Men on Women/Women on Men.

Here's how it works.  Windows has a StartUp group.  Each time Windows starts it will automatically run the program(s) in its StartUp group. We've added a command switch, "D" for Daily, to MWWM that takes advantage of this feature.

When you start MWWM with the D command switch, all the opening screens are bypassed.  The first thing you see is your quote for the day.  When you're done reading it, you can select the Exit command to immediately end the program or continue on.

All you have to do to activate this feature is copy the program icon to your StartUp group, and then add the D command switch to the Program Item Properties Command Line as follows:

Change:      	 C:\MenWom25\MWWM

To:          	 C:\MenWom25\MWWM D

Detailed instructions are as follows:

1. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | Men on Women...

2. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | StartUp.  (Both groups should now be open on your Desktop.  You may want to move one group so you can see both of them.)

3. Press and hold down CTRL while you drag the MWWM icon from the Men on Women... window to the StartUp window. (Notice how the mouse pointer becomes a replica of the MWWM icon.)

4. When the MWWM icon is in the StartUp group window release both the mouse button and the CTRL key.

5. From Program Manager's Main Menu select File | Properties and the Program Item Properties dialog appears.

6. Press the TAB key once to move to the "Command Line."

7. Press the END key once to move to the end of the "Command Line."

8. Press the SpaceBar once and then type the letter D.

9. Click the OK button.

Quote-A-Day should now be enabled.  It'll take effect the very next time you start Windows.

Of course, you can also use Quote-A-Day from the Quick Start Menu.  Or, you can copy the icon from your StartUp group window to one of your other windows.  It already has the "D" command switch on the "Command Line." Then you can just click that icon anytime you want to be inspired.

Note:  Two features you'll probably use in conjunction with Quote-A-Day are Quick Exit and Save Options.


Unequivocal Exit Command
Quick Exit

The Exit command from the View Screen causes an immediate and unconditional exit from the program.


IDEA SAVINGS BANK

The Idea Savings Bank is our custom data base engine.  We use it to give you easy access to all of our programs including  Men on Women/Women on Men.


ADD NEW RECORD - CLIPBOARD

To import the contents of your clipboard into the data base select Edit|Add New Record - Clipboard. The Clipboard Import Screen will be displayed.  Press <Shift> <Ins> to copy the contents of your clipboard into the multi-line edit control.  When you're satisfied with the appearance of your text, use the <Tab> key or the mouse to move to other fields in the lower half of the screen.

Enter data in the new record's key fields and selected data fields as necessary.  Click left mouse button on the OK push-button when you're satisfied with your entry.

After you've entered at least one record you'll be able to click the [image] icon to replicate the key and selected data fields from your previous record.

The record number field will be automatically filled in with the next record number.

Each record can hold eleven lines of text.  If the edit control has more than 11 lines of text, two new records will be created.  Although the multi-line edit can hold more than 22 lines of text, only the first 22 lines will be processed.  Break larger amounts of text into 22 line blocks.

If two records are created from one edit control, the first record have the legend "Record Continues" at the bottom of the screen.  The second record's key and data fields will be the same as the first, but the record number will be incremented by one.
