─────────────────────────────What is EzData───────────────────────────
EzData is a set of modules that assists with managing information.    
The term "Information Management" encompasses creation and mainte-    
nance of documents and data bases.  Since information is stored in    
files, EzFile is included as part of any EzData module and is         
started from the Utilities menu by pressing the letter 'F'.           
                                                                      
All of the database files created with EzWare are in a standard ASCII 
format that is readily transferrable to other software; however, you  
do have the ability to use extended ASCII characters with macros.     
                                                                      
With an organized "System", you can readily find and update           
your files with a minimum amount of time and energy.  The computer    
is only as good as the information it processes.                      
                                                                      
With easy-to-use yet powerful EzData Modules, you and your computer   
can work in harmony.

──────────────────────Special Features - EzDate───────────────────────
 ■ EzDate displays a three month calendar with the middle month cor-  
   responding to the month taken from your computer's system time     
   clock.                                                             
                                                                      
 ■ The current day of your time clock blinks on the corresponding     
   calendar day.  If this is not the correct date, press <F9> to      
   set the current date.  To change the display of this calendar, use 
   functions available on the "Special Utilities" menu.               
                                                                      
   . Display a new calendar:                                          
     <U,S,N>                                                          
   . Reset the current display to coincide with your system time      
     clock:                                                           
     <U,S,R>                                                          
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
──────────────────Special Features (cont'd) - EzDate──────────────────
 ■ Each EzDate file consists of one record for each day of the month. 
   For each month, you may want to start a different file, and        
   name the new file with a time stamp.  This will give ready access  
   to any entry you make on a given day.  For example, an EzDate data 
   file for the month of September in the year 1992 is: 91992.6.  Re- 
   fer to "EzWare Files" topics in the general help file for more in- 
   formation about naming your EzWare files.                          
                                                                      
 ■ If you have a file open with entries in one of the days, the day(s)
   will also be reverse video displayed to give you quick feedback of 
   notes you have made on the corresponding day of the month.         
                                                                      
 ■ When you open a file, EzDate automatically goes the the record of  
   that file corresponding to the day of your system time clock.      
                                                                      
 ■ Within EzWare, these special features are available only in EzDate.

────────────────────────Tab and Shift-Tab Keys────────────────────────
The Tab and Shift-Tab keys may be customized by the user.  Default    
settings will move the cursor to the right <Tab> or left <Shift-Tab>  
8 spaces at a time.  To change these settings, press <Shift-F2>, then 
place the capital letter 'T' at the desired tab stop locations.       
These settings remain in effect until they are reset by pressing      
<Shift-F1>.                                                           
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
────────────────────────Customizing The Cursor────────────────────────
You have four different options to customize the cursor positioning   
while in the edit mode.                                               
                                                                      
 ■ Cursor Left <U,C,L >                                               
   This option will position the cursor at the start of each new line 
 ■ Cursor Right <U,C,R >                                              
   This option will position the cursor at the end of each new line   
 ■ Cursor Relative <U,C,S >                                           
   This option will position the cursor at the end of the next line   
   if that position is to the left of the current cursor position     
 ■ Cursor Complex <U,C,C >                                            
   This option is similar to the relative option except the cursor    
   position is remembered from record to record.                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
──────────────────────────Special Utilities───────────────────────────
Some utilities are only active for a particular EzData module.  For   
example, EzWord, EzNote, and EzDate are modules that more closely re- 
semble a wordprocessor than a database.  Thus, sorting options do not 
appear on EzWord, EzNote, or EzDate bar menus.                        
Below is a table of the currently available special utilities:        
    ┌DESCRIPTION──────────────────KEYSTROKES┐

    └───────────────────────────────────────┘                         
To sort your current records, save the records to a file before       
starting the sort operation, unless you want to change the logic      
without effecting the order of your current records.                  
A temporary sort file is used as a backup for your data.  The name    
of this file is displayed prior to executing the record sort.         
──────────────────────────Editing Functions───────────────────────────
These utilities may save time in editing your records.

─────────────────────Moving to a Different Record─────────────────────
There are a number of ways to change records.                         
                                                                      
 ■ Press the down arrow on the last line of the edit screen to go to  
   the next record.                                                   
 ■ Press the Page Down key <PgDn> to go to the next record.           
 ■ Press the up arrow on the first line of the edit screen to go to   
   the prior record.                                                  
 ■ Press the Page Up key <PgUp> to go to the prior record.            
 ■ Press <Ctrl-F1> to go to the first record.                         
 ■ Press <Ctrl-F10> to go to the last record.                         
 ■ Press <Ctrl-F6> and enter a record number to go to that specific   
   record.                                                            
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
────────────────────────────Record Search─────────────────────────────
While in the edit mode, you may search the current records for a term 
or specific sequence of characters by pressing <Ctrl-F7>.  You are    
prompted to enter an item to find.  Type one or more characters that  
define your desired search and press return.  The search is case sen- 
sitive and will begin with the first record.  If an occurrence of the 
search string is found, the search will stop on the record that con-  
tains your item to find.  To continue searching for another occur-    
rence press <Ctrl-F8>.                                                
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
─────────────────────────Clearing System Memory───────────────────────
You may clear records from system memory by pressing <M,P>.  Clearing 
the system memory does not change contents of your files.  The system 
memory is automatically cleared when a file is opened <O> or when     
you exit the current EzData module.                                   
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
─────────────────────────────Custom Menu──────────────────────────────
In each EzData module, you may define descriptions and commands to    
make a custom menu that can be displayed, changed and immediately     
executed using the <Alt-F1> thru <Alt-F10> function keys.  Below is a 
table of the custom menu function keys.

──────────────────────────Default Settings────────────────────────────
Default settings are values that EzData loads from the EZ____.EZB file
upon initial program startup.  EzData modules each have their own     
global file so you can customize each module to best meet your needs. 
Any changes are automatically saved when you exit from the EzData     
module so you need not redefine them at the start of each session.    
Below is a table of the defaults and keystrokes used to change them:

──────────────────────────Parameter Passing───────────────────────────
Parameters can be passed into a database module from the command line.
If no parameter is used, defaults in the database global file will be 
used.  A default data file can be sent to the database module as a    
parameter.  When the file name or path is sent as a parameter, the    
file will be opened automatically.                                    
                                                                      
An example of passing a parameter into an EzData module is listed     
below.  It illustrates loading a file upon initial program startup.
