-> Plans are used to chart the course that a project is expected to follow. Each Plan you use will based upon a Template file set up with EDITX.COM (accessed by pressing ^E in the MAIN MENU). You should establish a separ- arate Template for each general category of project you handle. -> Each Template (as well as each Plan derived from it) contains a list- ing of the tasks that usually take place in the type of project covered by the template. Each line in the template file consists of an task, an ab- breviation for that task, the type of task (eg: Deadline or Expectation), and remarks about that task. Also included is the interval (expressed in days) that is expected between that task and the immediately preceding one and the date by which you expect that task to be completed. If the task is unrelated to the immediately preceding one but IS related to one of the other preceding ones, it's remark entry should begin with a backslash, followed immediately by the abbreviation of the related task (eg: "\inj"). If an item is completely unrelated to any preceding one, the interval item should be left blank. The remarks item may also be left blank, if you wish, but every line in the file MUST have both an abbreviation and a descrip- tion. The template file may have NO empty lines. -> When a Plan is displayed on the screen, one line will be highlighted. To select the task that you want to affect, use the arrow keys or enter the appropriate ABBreviation. Plans and Templates are complicated subjects. You should refer to the docu- mentation for a more detailed discussion.
