- THE MENUS
-
- As with most other AMIGA programs, moving the mouse pointer to the
- windows title bar and holding down the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON reveals a
- list or strip of 'MENUS'. By further mouse movement the contents of
- each menu can be revealed and selected with the left mouse button. If
- you are unfamiliar with this process please refer to your AMIGA's
- manual which explains the process at some length.
-
- PENNYWISE has four such menus:
-
- THE PROJECT MENU options:
-
- NEW..... To Create a NEW Pennywise File
- (* NOTE: The Subscriber version will create new files
- based on an old file's definition *)
- OPEN.... To open another (existing) PENNYWISE Data File
- CLOSE... Same as QUIT.. Closes all files and exits PENNYWISE
- PRINT... For future expansion
- ABOUT... About me, CVT and everything!
- HELP.... That's how you got here!
- QUIT... Same as CLOSE
-
-
- THE EDIT MENU
-
- EDIT... Edit/ change something in the current record item.
- The cursor should appear in the first field to be
- edited. If it doesn't, select the place to edit
- with the MOUSE
-
- FIND... Brings up the SCAN LIST or TRANSACTION SELECTION
- window (whichever is appropriate) so you can select or find
- a particular item.
-
- DELETE..Allows you to delete an item. Note that debits and credits
- applying to the item you want to delete must be set at
- zero. YOU CANNOT DELETE AN ITEM THAT HAS SOME COSTING
- ATTACHED TO IT!
-
- NEW... Clears the current item from the window and allows you
- enter a brand-new one!
-
- SAVE NOW!. Exactly that... saves the current record. A
- requester appears asking you to confirm the save action.
- NOTE: ONLY WORKS IF THE RECORD NEEDS SAVING!
-
- PENNYWISE is careful about unsaved records. It always
- gives you a reminder if a record needs saving
-
-
- UNDO!...Ahemm!!! I'm still working on this, but ideally it
- restores the status quo if you've botched the current
- entry!
-
-

- in the transaction selection window that have not
- had the 'RECONCILED' date entered.
-
- VALIDATE ALL... If you have doubts about the calculated results.
- Recalculates all transactions afresh. Might
- take a while!

- may be selected by pressing the RIGHT AMIGA KEY and the specified key
