- APPOINTMENT SECRETARY
- by
- D. J. B. Shibley
-
-
- The APPOINTMENT SECRETARY is a
-
- computerized calendar that can keep
-
- track of birthdays, anniversaries, and
-
- your other important dates-- through
-
- the year 2099.
-
-
- When you run the program, you will
-
- see that the calendar itself takes up
-
- most of the screen. Asterisks mark
-
- each month's important dates.
-
-
- The window at the top of the screen
-
- contains the cursor, the month, and
-
- the year of the calendar displayed
-
- below. When you stop on a non-
-
- asterisked day, the window at the
-
- bottom of the screen contains four
-
- commands:
-
-
- 1. Pressing the "+" key displays the
-
- next month.
-
-
- 2. The "-" key displays the previous
-
- month.
-
-
- 3. The "J" key toggles between
-
- displaying days of the month and
-
- days of the year.
-
-
- 4. The "P" key makes a printout of
-
- the month displayed.
-
-
- If you move the cursor down one
-
- space (by using the arrow keys), a
-
- "question mark" prompts you to enter a
-
- new month and year. If you still wish
-
- to view the month that was originally
-
- displayed, merely move the cursor down
-
- into the calendar area.
-
-
- When the cursor is in the calendar
-
- area, if you move the cursor to a date
-
- marked with an asterisk, that date's
-
- message will be displayed in the
-
- window at the lower part of the
-
- screen.
-
-
- If the cursor rests at an unmarked
-
- date, the bottom window will display
-
- the commands that will flag an
-
- important date (the asterisk) or erase
-
- a date already marked (the up arrow).
-
-
- COMMAND MODE
-
-
- The APPOINTMENT SECRETARY has
-
- several more commands. If you move
-
- the cursor up or down out of the
-
- calendar area, a message in the
-
- bottom window will prompt you to
-
- "RETURN COMMAND".
-
-
- To see a list of possible commands,
-
- type in "HELP" and press RETURN. The
-
- commands are:
-
-
- 1. HOME-- returns the cursor to its
-
- beginning position.
-
-
- 2. PRINT 19XX-- prints out the
-
- entire year "XX".
-
-
- 3. MONTH=XX-- changes the "start up"
-
- month-- the month the program
-
- displays when it's first run.
-
-
- 4. YEAR=XX-- changes the "start up"
-
- year.
-
-
- 5. QUIT-- Quits Appointment
-
- Secretary.
-
-
- If you wish to get out of COMMAND
-
- MODE, press RETURN.
