6.5     Clear Pledges
        =============

        Here you permanently remove all closed pledges from the pledge file.

        To clear pledges:

        A. Select "Clear Pledges" at the "Stewardship" menu, and press <Enter>.

           A warning message will appear:

           =================================================================
           |                 * * *  W A R N I N G * * *                    |
           |  Clearing Pledges will permanently remove all closed pledges! |
           | Would you like to print a list of closed pledges first? [Y/n] |
           =================================================================

        B. Press <Y> or <Enter> to generate a listing of closed pledges, or

           press <N> if you don't want a report and proceed.

           If you pressed <Y> the alternate "Report Output" window will appear
           and you can generate the report. For details on report generation
           refer to the Appendix, chapter 10.2 "Generate Standard Reports in
           CMS".

           Now a confirmation window will appear:

           ============================================
           | Ready to clear all closed pledges? [y/N] |
           ============================================

           If you press <N> or <Enter> no pledges will be removed and you will
           be returned to the "Stewardship" menu.

        C. Press <Y> to close all pledges, and press <Enter>.

           The pledge file will now be updated, and you will be returned to
           the "Stewardship" menu.
