             1. TRANSACTION NUMBER

Enter the transaction (or check number) number
for this transaction. If the number is of a
transaction that has previously been recorded,
it will be recalled. When a transaction has
been recalled, if the transaction has not been
posted, it can be amended. If you are writing
the first check of a month be sure to use the
check number after the last check number of
the previous month. However, for Deposits and
Journal entries you may start out each month
with transaction number one.

     2. DEPOSIT, JOURNAL AND VENDOR CODES

These codes are used for recalling recurring
transactions which have been previously saved.
A list of the codes may be called up by
pressing the F5 key. If the transaction you
are entering has not been previously saved,
then ignore the code entry by merely pressing
the Enter key when prompted. If you write a
check to the Electric Company each month for
your utility bill, for example, you can save a
great amount of time by saving the transaction
and then recalling the information each month
as you write the check. You can use the amount
of $0.00 when you save the transaction if the
amount will vary each month. If your Electric
Company is named "Washingto Power & Light",
you might use WP&L for the code. If you select
an improper name for the code, you will be
taken to a window from where you can move
around and select the proper code.

If your salary is a set amount each month and
your deducts are the same, you will wish to
save the deposit transaction of your salary
for later recall. You might use the code of
SALA, for example.

                    3. DATE

Enter the date of the transaction. You may use
the + or - keys to increment or decrement the
date.

               4. ACCOUNT NUMBER

Enter the account number of the account you
wish to either debit or credit. When making
deposits, the first line of debit or credit
entries should be used for crediting your bank
account. When writing checks, the account
number on the check itself should be for one
of your bank accounts. The default account
number for line one of both deposits and
checks is 111. You may change this to the
number of another of your bank accounts should
you so desire.

For subsequent lines enter the number of the
account you wish to either debit or credit. If
you enter a number which is improper, you will
be taken to a window from which you may make
the proper selection. If you cannot recall a
particular number, then enter an incorrect
number the first numberal of which is the same
as the number you wish to recall. If you are
trying to recall the Utility Expense account,
for example, then  you might enter the number
5000 (there is no such account) since all
expense accounts have five as their first
numeral. You will be taken to the window where
all of the accounts will be shown with their
numerals arranged alphabetically. (So that all
accounts starting with the numeral 5 will be
together.) The cursor will be positioned as
close to the numeral 5000 as it can get.  From
there you can move around to select the
Utility expense account.

As an alternative you may enter the first few
letters of the name of the account instead of
the number. This feature is not case
sensitive. If the letters you enter are not
proper, you will be taken to a window from
which you may move around and select the
proper account name. You can use this
procedure in a similar manner to the one in
the preceding paragraph. Say that you wish to
credit a tax-free interest account but you
cannot recall its name. You think that the
name started with the letters Int. You could
enter the letters Iaa (not a valid name). You
would be taken to a window wherein the names
of the various accounts are arranged
alphabetically. From there you can move around
and select the tax-free interest account.

Only the Detail accounts are shown in the
windows since you cannot post to Summary
accounts. (See the Help file when using the
Amend Accounts Procedure under the Utilities
Menu.)

                5. ACCOUNT NAME

The account name is entered automatically when
the proper account number is entered.

             6. COMMENT OR SOURCE

The use of this entry is optional but it can
be used to properly identify the transaction
you are entering.

          7. DEBIT OR CREDIT ENTRIES

You enter the debit or credit amounts for the
various accounts at these positions. If you
wish to credit an amount, press the enter key
when prompted for a debit amount and the
cursor will automatically move to the credit
position.

You are restricted to debiting the first line
of the Deposit procedure since all deposits to
your bank account will, of course, be debits.
Similarly, you are restricted to crediting the
first line of the Check Writing procedure
since all checks will be credits to your bank
account. Be sure that the first line of the
debits and credits are used for debiting or
crediting one of your bank accounts when
making deposits or writing checks.

The total of debits and credits will be shown
at the bottom of the screen. They must balance
before you are permitted to record the
transaction.

You may debit or credit as many as 13
different accounts when making deposits or
journal entries and as many as 7 when writing
checks. You may use as few as two different
different accounts for each of these types of
transactions since there is a minimum of one
debit and one credit for a transaction.

When writing checks, you credit your bank
account and debit expense accounts. When
making deposits, you debit your bank account
and credit income accounts.

                8. POSTED FLAG

The status of the posted flag will be shown at
the lower left of the screen. You may amend
transactions before they are posted but not
after posting. To amend a transaction, recall
it by entering its number and then make your
changes.

           9. AMEND LIST OF ACCOUNTS

You may go directly to the Amend List of
Accounts procedure by pressing the F8 key when
you are writing a check, making a deposit or
making a journal entry. If, for example, you
are making a deposit from a new income source
for which you wish to create a new income
account, press the F8 key, create the new
account, return to the Deposit procedure and
then credit your income to this new account.

               10. SPECIAL KEYS

The special keys which may be used are shown
at the bottom of the screen. The Shift key and
the Tab key pressed at the same time will back
up one position. The F1 key is for Help.  The
F3 key will delete the current transaction.
The F4 key will save a transaction for future
recall. Use it for transactions that you enter
every month such as paying the telephone bill,
for example.  The F5 key will call up the list
of codes you have previously saved. The F8 key
will take you directly to the Amend Accounts
procedure.  It is useful for adding an account
when you are in the middle of writing a check,
for example, and you wish to create a new
account "on the fly".  The F9 key is the
automatic entry key.  It works in two ways. If
line one of the debits and credit lines has
the amount of $0.00 as an entry, the F9 key
acts as an adding machine and will determine
the amount which should be entered on line one
in order for credits and debits to balance. If
there is an amount on line one, the F9 key
will enter the amount on the current line
which is needed to balance debits and credits.
The F10 key will process the current
transaction and move to the next transaction.
The Escape key will process the current
transaction and return to the previous menu.
