AMEND LIST OF ACCOUNTS If you select this item, you may change the setup of your chart of accounts. See the help file under the main menu for the rules for setting up your accounts. 2. PERMIT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTS Normally when you are amending your chart of accounts, you cannot change the amounts in the various accounts. However, if you select item 2 from the Utility Menu, you will be enabled to do so. When using this feature there will be no audit trail left. See the Help file under the main menu. 3. CHANGE DEFAULTS For changing the default values of your checking and savings account numbers, your Equity account number and the printer control numbers. I would suggest not changing the original values used by the program. 4. PRINT CHART OF ACCOUNTS For printing out your chart of accounts. 5. INSPECT TRANSACTION FILE For inspecting year to date transactions in the account you select. Monthly transactions are not reflected in the transaction file until the month is closed. 6. CHANGE MONTH For changing the month on which you are working. 7. CHECK INCOME & EXPENSE Checks the total of income and expense for the current month and the year. 8. CHECK DEBITS AND CREDITS Checks the debits and credits for the current month and the year to date. 9. SWITCH TO COLOR Switches the program to color. This switch can be made permanent. 10. SWITCH TO MONOCHROME Switches the program to monochrome. 11. RESET POSTED SIGNS You seldom if ever will need this procedure. However, it is included for the rare occasion when you might wish to reconstruct your transaction file for the year. If, for example, in May you somehow lost your transaction file, but you had saved the Acctfile.dat for December 31 of the prior year and your monthly transaction files, you could rename your monthly transaction files from the extension of 01, 02, etc. to jan, feb, etc., reset the posted signs for each of the months, post the months to reconstruct you transaction file. It goes without saying that you should have adequate back-ups before attempting such an undertaking. 13.
