6.4     Close Pledges
        =============

        Here you close all pledges within a specified time period.  To remove
        all closed pledges from the pledge file refer to chapter 6.5 "Clear
        Pledges". If you want to close individual pledges refer to chapter
        6.353 "Close or Open a Pledge".

        To close pledges from the "Stewardship" menu:

        A. Select "Close Pledges" and press <Enter>.

           A message window will appear (we will assume the system date of
           your computer to be May 5, 1991 as an example):

           ================================================================
           | This option will close all pledges with pledge closing dates |
           |                  later than 05/05/91                         |
           |         Proceed, Change Date, or Abandon? [p/c/A]            |
           ================================================================

           If you press <A> or <Enter> then no pledges will be closed and you
           will be returned to the "Stewardship" menu.

        B. Press <P> to proceed with closing pledges,

           or

           press <C> to change the date.


           If you press <P> then all pledges whose pledge closing date is
           prior to your computer's system date (most likely today's date)
           will be closed, and you will be returned to the "Stewardship" menu.

           If you press <C> a new window will appear:

           =============================
           | Change Close Pledge Date: |
           |       [05/05/91]          |
           =============================

           Enter the new date, so that all pledges with pledge closing dates
           prior to this new date shall be closed, or press <F2> to pick this
           date from the pop-up calendar, and press <Enter>.

           All pledges whose pledge closing date is prior to this new date
           will be closed, and you will be returned to the "Stewardship" menu.
