What is PalFinder?
------------------
This program allows BBS users to enter their personal profiles into 
an on-line database.  PalFinder makes it easy to locate people of specific
interests, age or profession and provides the means of introducing oneself
to others.


Main Menu
---------
Search profiles database - Find some interesting people on the system.

Edit YOUR profile        - Add/Change your own profile

Delete YOUR profile      - Permanently remove your record 


Search Menu
-----------
Enter partial information in every field you want included in the 
search (leaving all fields blank will give you a list of ALL BBS users).
For example, let's suppose you're looking for a single female born
in 1969, who's interested in golf.  You need to specify the following:

3.      Birthdate: 69
4.            Sex: Female
5. Marital Status: Single
7.        Hobbies: GOLF

When done, press X to initiate the search.

NOTE: Wildcards like ? or * and logical operators (AND, OR, NOT, &, |, !,
      etc. are not supported in this release).  The program simply performs
      substring search on all non-blank fields.
      

Search Results
--------------
To move between records, use the following keys: P, N, & G.
Pressing P will display record immediately preceding the current one
Pressing N will jump to the next consecutive record.  
If you need to make a jump to a specific record in the list, press G,
then just type in desired record number.


Profile Editor
--------------
Each profile consists of 8 entries. Entry #1, the caller's name, is
fixed and cannot be changed. The remaining 7 may be individually
modified at user's (or sysop's) discretion. Most are free-format,
and may consist of any printable characters. Sex and Marital Status
fields are limited to only pre-defined choices.  If you do not wish
to specify either of these, type N at the selection prompt.
   All entries are automatically converted to upper case.
