FGeneric HelpPressing the Alt key will show the Alt menu on the status         line.  The Alt menu is divided into two parts, "Action            Keys" and "Toggle Keys".  Pressing Alt and one of the             highlighted Action Keys will cause the appropriate action to      occur.  Pressing Alt and one of the highlighted Toggle Keys       will toggle the appropriate indicator in the indicator            window located in the lower left hand corner of the screen.                                                                         `Alt Action Keys                                                  The Alt Action Keys will have no effect when responding to        an error, a prompt, or inside of Help.  They also have no         effect while positioned on a directory in the Pick file           window.                                                                                                                             The Alt Action Keys are:                                                                                                            Alt-A     Append records in the current database.

If pressed               while in Edit or Append is the same as pressing Esc               to abort.                                                                                                                 Alt-E     Edit records in the current database.  If the file                access mode is read-only, Edit acts as a full screen              record viewer.

The Alt Toggle Keys are:                                                                                                            Alt-C     Toggles the case sensitivity indicator between "IC",              ignore case, and "CS", case sensitive.  This indicator            affects the find function available in Browse and Edit            (see Help when in Find).                                                                                                  Alt-D     Toggles the field border indicator between "NB", no               borders, and "BO", borders on.  This indicator affects            how the find function behaves.                                                                                            Alt-I     Toggles the insert/overstrike indicator between "IN",             insert mode, and "OV", overstrike mode.  This                     indicator affects how text is placed into fields in               Edit.  It can also be toggled by pressing Insert.                                                                         Alt-M     Toggles the file access mode indicator between "RO",              read-only mode , and "RW", read-write mode.  When the             file access mode is read-only, records can not be                 appended or edited.  An error will occur if an attempt            is made to use read-write on a read-only database.                                                                                  On a network, read-write mode will open databases for             EXCLUSIVE access.  Read-only mode will allow multiple             access to databases.  No record level locking is                  currently implemented.                                                                                                              If an attempt to open a file in read-write mode fails,            another attempt to open the file in read-only mode will           occur automatically.  If successful, when closing this            file, the mode will automatically return to read-write.

If any fields are numbered, only those   fields will be shown when you Browse or Edit records.  The   number beside the field determines the order in which it     will be displayed.  Two fields with the same number will     remain in the same relative position to each other.                                                                       `Clear All Field Numbers (F2)                                Pressing F2 will clear all field numbers, but leave the      file structure in the present order.  This means that you    can assign field numbers, press F4 to order the fields, and  then remove all field numbers by pressing F2.  This will     allow you to view all fields but in an order different from  the original.

If you enter a value larger than the   default, as much data as can fit in that width   will be printed.  If your printer is not set up  to handle that width, the data will wrap around  to the next line.                                                                                 If the value that you enter is larger than the   the entire record (the entire record may be only three fields if that is all you numbered), the   data will be centered within the specified width.                                                 The maximum width is 250.                        Assign Field NumberField numbers are used to limit Browse and Edit to   to selected fields.  This option allows you to assigna specific number to a field.  A number of zero,     unnumbers the field.                                                                                      To see the new field order before going into Browse  or Edit, press F4.  Pressing F4 with no fields       numbered restores the original field structure order.Print Using Previous FindThis is a yes/no option.  An answer of either 'Y' or'y' will use the previous Find (providing there was one) condition and print only records that meet thatcondition.  Any other response will print all the   records in the specified range.                     Edit/Append RecordsPressing the Alt key will show you the Alt menu.  For HELP   on understanding the Alt menu, see "Generic Help" by         pressing Alt-F1.                                                                                                          `Copying Records (F2)                                        Pressing F2 will prompt you for the record number of the     record you want to copy into the current record.  To repeat  this process you can press Ctrl-F2, which will use the       previously specified record number for copying.  Using this  in Append is a quick way to build test data.                                                                              `Goto a Specific Record (F3)                                 Pressing F3 will prompt for a new record position.  If the   record number specified is greater than the number of recordsin the file an error will occur and the lite-bar will stay onthe same record.                                                                                                          `Cut Field into Keyboard Paste Buffer (F4)                   Pressing F4 will 'cut' the current field into the keyboard   paste buffer.  If data has been cut into the paste buffer it is indicated by the letter 'P' in the top border of the Edit window.                                                                                                                   Trailing blanks are not cut.  Each cut field is terminated bya user selected key.  The termination key will be placed intothe paste buffer after the cut field, unless it is ESC.  If acomma (,) is pressed an additional space key is placed into  the paste buffer.  This is for use with 'City, State' cuts aswell as 'Lastname, Firstname' cuts.                                                                                       If not enough room is left in the paste buffer, a beep will  sound indicating that the field was NOT placed into the pastebuffer.                                                                                                                   The entire paste buffer can be retrieved and "pasted" into anunderlying application by pressing the paste hotkey (defaultsto Ctrl-Alt-P) when in that application.  Useful for pasting names and addresses into word processing programs, etc.  Datacan be pasted multiple times.  You can also paste informationwhile inside PopDBF by pressing Ctrl-P.  See below.                                                                       The paste buffer is cleared when a field is cut and the      current paste buffer has been "pasted" at least once.                                                                     `Clear Keyboard Paste Buffer (Shift-F4)                      To clear the keyboard paste buffer, press Shift-F4.                                                                       If any data has been placed into the paste buffer it is      indicated by the letter 'P' in the top border of the Edit    window. Pressing Shift-F4 will also turn off this indicator.                                                              `Find Text (F7)                                              Pressing F7 will prompt you for the text you want to find.   Memo fields are not searched and dBASE dates need to be      searched differently.  Find will locate text even if it      crosses field boundaries unless field borders are on (BO).   If Find fails a low beep will be sounded.  Press F1 for more Help after pressing F7.                                                                                                   `Find Next Occurrence of Text (F8)                           Pressing F8 will do a find next, which starts at the next    record in the file and begins the find.  If Find Next fails  a low beep will be sounded.                                                                                               `Print Database Record(s) (F9)                               Pressing F9 prompts for print parameters and then prints the data.  Data is printed exactly as it is seen in the          Edit/Append window.  Blank fields produce blank lines.                                                                    The extra lines parameter is used to allow you to print      labels even if the data you are using doesn't fill up an     entire label.  It defaults to 1 to space between records.                                                                 Records which require more than one page for all fields must be printed one page at a time.                                                                                            Print can be used in conjunction with the find text string   to print only records that contain the text.  Find behaves   here as described above.                                                                                                  `Field Information (F10)                                     Pressing F10 will pop-up a window containing information     about the field in which the cursor is currently positioned. This can be helpful if you forget the field type or want to  know exactly how long it is.                                                                                              `Toggle Squeeze (F11)                                        Pressing F11 will "squeeze" as many fields onto one page as  is possible.  Two columns of fields are formed.  User        placement of fields is a feature being developed.                                                                         `Toggle Paste Blanks (F12)                                   Pressing F12 will toggle the paste blanks flag.  When on, a  B is displayed in the upper right corner of the Edit window  border.  Pasting fields when paste blanks is on will cause   trailing blanks NOT to be trimmed before pasting.                                                                         `Toggle Century On/Off (Ctrl-K)                              Pressing Ctrl-K will toggle the century on and off.  When    on, the date is formatted as MM/DD/YYYY.                                                                                  `Paste Into Current Record (Ctrl-P)                          You can paste information identified previously via F4 by    pressing Ctrl-P (only in resident mode).  This can be used   to copy information from one part of a record to another     to avoid retyping.  It can also be used to copy an entire    record to another database.                                                                                               This feature should be used with extreme caution.  It is     possible to overwrite information which causes movement      OFF the current record and makes using Ctrl-O to restore     the record impossible.                                                                                                    `Dial the Telephone (Ctrl-T)                                 Pressing Ctrl-T will dial the phone using the text in the    current field.  The phone will be dialed and a prompt will   ask you to press Escape to hang up or any other key to       talk (which means you must have already picked up the        phone).                                                                                                                   To use this feature you must first have invoked PopDBF       using the modem (/m) option.                                                                                              `Toggle Record Delete Flag (Ctrl-U)                          Pressing Ctrl-U will toggle the record delete flag.  Only    works if read-write mode (RW) is on.                                                                                      `Toggle Verify Mode On/Off (Ctrl-V)                          Pressing Ctrl-V will toggle verify mode on and off.  When on,a V is displayed in the upper right corner of the Edit windowborder.  In verify mode entering data in the last position ofa field will NOT cause the cursor to move to the next field. You MUST press ENTER or use the arrow keys to move to the    next field.  This is the same as SET CONFIRM ON in dBase and other compatible programs.                                                                                                `Show Memo Block Number (Ctrl-@)                             Pressing Ctrl-@ will toggle between showing the word "Memo"  and the actual memo field's block number.                                                                                 `Summary of Special Edit/Append Keystrokes                   Ctrl-J           Restore field data                          Ctrl-K           Toggles century                             Ctrl-M           Enter system date                           Ctrl-N           Move to last position                       Ctrl-O           Restore record data                         Ctrl-P           Paste data (resident mode only)             Ctrl-Q/Esc       Abort and Ignore changes                    Ctrl-T           Dial phone using current field              Ctrl-U           Toggle record delete flag                   Ctrl-V           Toggles verify mode                         Ctrl-W/Ctrl-End  Quit and Save changes                       Ctrl-Y           Blank field                                 Ctrl-Delete      Blank to end of field                       Ctrl-Down        Move to bottom field on screen              Ctrl-Left        Move to previous word                       Ctrl-Right       Move to next word                           Ctrl-Up          Move to top field on screen                 Ctrl-@           Show memo block number                      End              Position at end of data                     Home             Move to first position                      Alt-PgUp         Previous record, same page                  Alt-PgDn         Next record, same page                      Copy A RecordEnter the number of the record that you want    copied on top of the current record you are     appending/editing.

If the lower left corner has 'No Local', PopDBF will look for POPDBF.FRQ in the master .FRQ directory.  This is by  default where POPDBF.EXE is located, but can be specified on the command line using the /L<dir> option.                                                                       If 'Local' is specified, PopDBF will first look for       POPDBF.FRQ in the current directory.  If not found, it    will then look in the master .FRQ directory.  If not foundin either location, you will here a beep.                                                                           Pressing Ctrl-F will toggle 'No Local' / 'Local'.  By     default it is set to 'Local', but you can specify         'No Local' on the command line using the /TM option.      Version/Products`PopDBF 4.0 Help, dated 08/14/91 2:45am                              PopDBF is written entirely in hand-crafted assembly.  It is          compiled and linked using Borland International's Turbo-Assembler    (TASM) and Turbo-Linker (TLINK).                                                                                                          Special thanks goes to Mike Schmit, from Quantasm Corporation,       for his help in converting over 20,000 lines of code so that I       could use his excellent MagicTSR product to do swapping.  He also    helped find some almost impossible bugs and is truly an assembly     "guru". Version 4.1 of PopDBF will use yet another Quantasm product  called the Quantasm Power Library.
