NEW FEATURES IN "LITTLE LISTS"

MATH FIELDS: There are now three special kinds of number fields called Math
fields: Addition, Subtraction and Total. Math fields are used to perform
simple addition and subtraction within the program. To create a Math field,
you need to name the field in a special way. The last four characters of
the field name tell the program what kind of Math field it will be. For an
Addition field, the last four characters of the name must be the underscore
plus the word "ADD". For a Subtraction field, the last four characters must
be the underscore plus the word "SUB". For a Total field, the last four
characters must be the underscore plus the word "TTL". 

For example, if you want two Addition fields, one Subtraction field and a
Total field in your list, you might name them this way: INCOME_ADD,
GIFT_ADD, TAX_SUB, and TOTAL_TTL. Note that there can be only one Total
field in a list.

Later, when you add or change data in the Math fields, the program will
automatically perform the required addition and subtraction, and will enter
the Total. You cannot enter the Total yourself.

On the Setup menu, you have a new choice: "Recalculate Math Now?" If you
are using Math fields in your list, as explained below, you may find that
in some situations the Totals need to be recalculated. This could happen if
you have imported data from another program, or if you have been making
changes in the list by editing and adding fields. If you answer "Y" to this
question, the program will go through all your records and recalculate the
Totals. This option is available only if you have already selected a list
to use.

DATA ENTRY MODULE: You may prefer to have your co-workers or employees
enter data without giving them the ability to create new lists or change
the structure of existing lists. This can help you guard against certain
kinds of mistakes, especially if you have inexperienced users working on a
project. To achieve this goal, you can use a separate data entry program,
provided to registered users on the same disk that contains Little Lists.

The command to start the data entry module is LENTER.

If you have your lists on a different disk or in a different subdirectory
from the Little Lists program, you need to tell the program where to look
for the database files. For example, if your data is on drive B, start the
program with this command:  LENTER B

If your drive letter is something other than B, use the correct letter in
the command instead of B. You can also use subdirectory names: LENTER
C:\MAILING

You can also use the MONO command as described for Little Lists.

The data entry module allows you to select lists in the same way as the
main Little Lists program. However, the "Create a New List" option is not
present, and the <DEL> key will not work to delete a highlighted list.

Once a list has been selected, the choices for viewing, adding, and editing
records are similar to Little Lists. However, the option to add or edit
fields is not available, nor is the option to purge deleted records. The
data entry module does not save or recall label and report formats.
