One possibility is to always use capital letters; another is to capitalize the first letter of each word or line; it doesn't matter as long as you are consistent!] THE FILES ARE CURRENTLY SET UP TO RECEIVE AS FOLLOWS: ADDRESS #: [The file number is provided--this will vary as the file is sorted in various ways (see SORTING below).] GREETING: (1=Dr.,2=Mr.,3=Mrs.,4=Ms.,5=Miss,6=Your own,7=None): NAME: -------------------------------- TITLE: ------------------------------- COMPANY/P.O.: ------------------------ STREET: ------------------------------ CITY: --------------------- STATE: -- ZIP CODE: ----- TELEPHONE: HOME: ---------------- OFFICE: -------------- BIRTHDAY: --------- NOTE: ---------------------------------------------------- For GREETING you can combine TWO numbers (1-6).

If you wish to delete a line at any point, type <@><Return>. If you have already returned the line which contains the error, you will be provided with an opportunity to correct the file before saving it or you can correct the file by using the EDIT command from the main menu (see below).] [Typing STOP <Return> for any item of requested information will terminate the CREATE sequence and return you to the EDIT menu.

[The GREETING is used when printing mailing labels--see below. Enter the appropriate number(s) (FOR EXAMPLE: 1=Dr.,2=Mr., 3=Mrs., 4=Ms., 5=Miss, 6=Your own, 7=None. Two greetings may also be combined in the following ways: 11=Dr.& Dr., 12=Dr. & Mr., 13=Dr. & Mrs., 14=Dr. & Ms., 23=Mr. & Mrs., 24=Mr. & Ms..] [QUIT at any time type <F1><Return>--this will return you to the MAIN menu. The <F1> serves this function throughout the running of this program.

This will be true throughout the program. Also, before a file is edited or changed in any way, you will be asked if you wish to create a back-up file (filespec.bak) as an extra precaution against losing data.] For <E> (EDIT): The format of the files will be displayed (see the display in the C)REATE section) followed by: --------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT MENU (C) 1983 Date: 00-00-0000 Time: 00:00:00 CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING U)PDATE file A)DD to file E)XAMINE and/or UPDATE NOTE keys KEY F1 = Return to MAIN menu F2 = Return to EDIT menu F7 = List of names in Address Book F8 = Keys used in NOTES F9 = Save/continue F10 = HELP Alt F10 = QUIT [Typing the appropriate command will allow you to add files to an already existing address book, edit files to update them, or examine and/or update the user defined NOTES (see SEARCH menu below).] [The function keys may be used for quick access to other portions of the program as described in the lower right quadrant of the screen above: F1 takes you back to the MAIN menu while F2 returns you to the EDIT menu; F7 produces a complete list of the names currently in the Address Book file being accessed while F8 produces the user defined NOTES and allows you to edit them if you wish; typing F9 will allow you to save the working file and to continue working with the present file --an added precaution against losing data; F10 provides HELP while <Alt> F10 allows you to QUIT --you will be prompted to be sure of your intent. Function keys F1, F7, F8, F9 and F10 provide this function throughout this program regardless of what menu is being accessed. They will be listed on virtually all of the menus in the Address Book. The F2-F6 keys are only displayed on menus in which they are appropriate. Examples are provided in the following pages. A complete summary of the function key commands is provided as a supplement to this documentation.] A brief description/summary of the function keys follows: F1 = Return to MAIN menu F2 = Return to EDIT menu F3 = Return to DELETE menu F4 = Return to SORT menu F5 = Return to SEARCH menu F6 = Return to PRINT menu F7 = List of Names in Address Book F8 = KEYS used in NOTES F9 = Save and Continue F10 = Help Alt F10 = QUIT ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Typing gives-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ENTER: SURNAME & <Return> (full name or any part starting from left most character) OR <!> <Return> TO EXAMINE complete file OR <Return> return to EDIT menu If corrections are necessary, you must REENTER each entry completely!

The <@> character will erase the entry SURNAME... [Type in the surname for the file you wish to edit. An <!> will allow you to examine the complete file sequentially, entry by entry.] [The entry will be presented, line by line, and you will be provided the opportunity to make corrections. If no corrections of a given line are required, simply hit the <Return> key. If you wish to make corrections, you may retype the entire line, use the cursor keys to move to the point you wish to begin inserting data and type from that point on, or type an <&> at the point you wish to insert data and type from that point on.] F KEYS: F1:MAIN menu F2:EDIT menu F7:NAMES F8:NOTES F9:SAVE/CONT -------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that the function keys are provided at the bottom of the screen for easy viewing; this feature is provided on virtually all sub-menus in the Address Book.

For example, your working file might be in alphabetical order and you wish a duplicate file sorted by zipcode. In the interest of saving time, you might save the same file which has been sorted in various ways; you can save each of these files under a different file name. (For example zip-file.dat, name- file.dat, etcetera.) You will be provided with this opportunity You can also save and continue at any time by using function key F9.

The NOTES category can be used to store whatever additional information the author may wish--any information that does not fit into one of the other requested categories. The first characters stored in this category when creating a file can be user defined (e.g. FAM=FAMILY, NEI=NEIGHBOR PRO=PROFESSIONAL COLLEAGUE, STU=STUDENTS, etc.). Any number of characters can be defined but it is suggested that three characters be coded in this way. Ample flexibility is provided with a minimum of complexity. Searches can then be run on any of these categories.] [All telephone numbers (Home and Office) can be searched from beginning or end. That is, for example, the following number can be found by typing a 207 or 34--207-2231134.] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Once a search has been completed, the following will appear: ------------------------------------------------------------------- (C) 1983 Date: 00-00-0000 Time: 00:00:00 Hit any key to Continue OR <D> to give a Printout of Search ONLY [To review additional material retrieved in the search hit any key--if you prefer a printout of the searched material, type <D>] F KEYS: F1:MAIN menu F5:SEARCH menu F7:NAMES F8:NOTES F9:SAVE/CONT ------------------------------------------------------------------- After the last entry of searched material is displayed on the screen, the following appears: ------------------------------------------------------------------- (C) 1983 Date: 00-00-0000 Time: 00:00:00 SEARCH COMPLETED Do you want a HARDCOPY printout of YOUR SEARCH PRINT <Y>-YES or <N>-NO ?

The more important features of the various menus have been outlined here--additional features will be obvious as the program is accessed and run. CUSTOMIZED ADDRESS BOOKS: The address book program provided here allows for approximately 300 files to be saved to and accessed from disk. The program can be modified to allow for a file disk to be used in conjunction with the program disk. This and other customized modifications are available. Mail inquiries to the address provided below. If you wish to discuss a specific modification, our phone number is also provoded for your use. RAM DRIVE OPERATION: The Address Book operates most quickly and efficently if used from a "superdrive or ram drive". An AUTOEXEC.BAT file can be created to load the entire address book, including data files, to the ram drive and to then default to that drive.
