RECEIPT TRANSACTION SYSTEM
                         VERSION 2.0


The receipt transaction system was created to keep track of
receipts coming in to a business or for home uses.  The
program keeps track of receipts and produces reports of
several different types.

The following documentation shows step by step instructions
on how to use this easy-to-use but powerful program.

The following paragraphs are listed in the order they appear
on the MAIN PROGRAM MENU.  To bring up this menu on the
screen simply at the DOS prompt type <RECEIPT> and press
<ENTER>.

An introduction screen will appear.  At this time simply
press ANY KEY to continue.  When any key is hit the main menu
will then appear on the screen with a list of options.  To
choose an option simply press the function key number listed
beside the option or press the number of the function key.
To EXIT the program press function key number 5.

                       ADD TO RECORDS

To add a record to your files simply press function key 1.  A
subscreen will then appear.  The computer will ask for a
transaction code.  Enter a transaction code which can be
any kind of coding system you wish.  That is what makes
this program very powerful.  You pick your OWN coding
system.  The computer handles the rest.  Most programs
require that their coding systems are used.  Make up your own
system and enter a code for each type of receipt you have.
For example enter 010 for paychecks from one job and 020 for
paychecks from another job.  After all information is entered
the computer will then produce a screen to verify all the
information before saving it to disk.  If all the information
is correct hit function 1.  To edit the information press
function 2.  To exit to main menu press the escape key.

                        VIEW RECORDS

To view the records press function 2.  A submenu will appear
asking which method to search by.

To search all records press function 1 to view bulk.  The
computer will then ask where to direction the output to
either SCREEN or PRINTER.  Press "S" for screen or "P" for
printer.  To exit to main menu simple press the escape key.
If "P" or "S" is hit, all the records will be displayed
either to screen or the printer.  After all the records have
been displayed the average receipt will be printed and totals
for each code will also be displayed.

To search a certain month code press function 2 to view a
certain month code.  Enter the appropriate month code (01-12)
and press <ENTER>.  The computer will then ask where to
direction the output.  Press the appropriate key and all the
records with the transaction date equal to the month
selected will be displayed. To search a certain range of
record numbers press function 3.  The computer will then ask
for a beginning record number and an ending record number.
Enter the values in and press <ENTER> after each prompt and
enter where the information is to be displayed and the
computer will print the range of record numbers.

To search for a certain transaction code press function 4.
The computer will ask for the description of the transaction
code.  Enter your transaction code and press <ENTER>.  The
computer will then ask what type of subsearch is to be
performed.  The computer will ask if the subsearch is to be
for a certain month.  Press "Y" for YES or "N" for NO.  If
"Y" is pressed the computer will ask for the month code.
Enter the code and press <ENTER>.  All the records with only
the description and the month code will be displayed.  If "N"
is pressed then the computer will ask if the search is to be
a bulk search or to search all records.  If the search is to
be bulk then press "Y".  If the search is not to be bulk
simply press "N".  If "Y" is pressed then a bulk search is
performed and only the records with the description selected
are displayed.  If "N" is pressed the computer assumes a
range search is to be performed.  The computer will prompt
for the lower and upper record numbers.  Enter each of the
numbers and press <ENTER> after each.  Only the record
numbers with the description and in the range entered will be
displayed.

               DELETE LAST DATA RECORD ENTERED

To delete the last data record entered simply press function
3.  A subscreen will then appear.  You must enter the correct
password to erase the last record entered.  This is to
prevent unauthorized persons from erasing your files.  The
password to erase the last file is "ERASE".  Type "ERASE" and
press <ENTER>.  Once the enter key is pressed the record is
lost forever so BE CAREFUL!  The computer erases the last
record stored on the disk and then returns to the main
program menu.

                   DELETE ALL DATA RECORDS

To delete ALL data records from the disk press function 4.  A
subscreen will then appear.  You must enter the correct
password to erase ALL the files from the disk.  This is to
prevent unauthorized persons from erasing your files.  The
password to erase ALL the records from the disk is "ERASE".
Type "ERASE" and press <ENTER>.  Once the enter key is
pressed ALL the data records on the disk will be lost forever
so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL with this option.  Actually the only
time this option would be used is when you want to give the
program to someone else or at the end of the year to reset
the balances to 0 or some similar reason.  Remember once the
password is entered the records are lost forever and can not
be viewed again.  Make backup copies of your data files or
print them out to a printer before erasing the files.

                         EXIT TO DOS

To exit back to the DOS operating system press function key
