  This option will call up an individual student and list the registration
details of this student. The functions of the buttons and mouse are the same
as in the page through group option. The left button will insert "n"
indicating a note or reason for absence has been supplied. The middle button
"O" for absence and the right button "L" for late. The middle and right
button together will insert a "/" or "\" as appropriate to indicate present,
the middle and left buttons insert a "C" to indicate the student is on a
course and the left and right buttons can be used to insert "T" for
treatment indicating at the dentist etc. The program credits such temporary
absence as present so this should only be used when the student is only
absent for part of the session. For those missing a full half session by
being at the dentist a "n" should be inserted for confirmed absence. All
three buttons reset to unmarked. A and R indicate students logging out and
in during a session. The times are stored in files in !REG and you should use
this to decide which category to edit As and Rs to as these characters are
ignored as far as statistics are concerned.

When using combinations of buttons it is best to position the pointer away
from the marking area, hold down the buttons and move the arrow onto the
position, then when marked, off again and release. With a little practice
this becomes the easiest way to edit but you can also use the keyboard in
conjunction with the pointer when for example editing a group of students in
the same tutor group. Clicking select on the screen buttons or using the
keyboard (Page up, up arrow etc) will show you what is possible. On the term
button, clicking left will give you term 1, middle term 2 and right term 3.
You should leave using exit or your amendments will not be saved to disc.
