 ADDING EVENTS [F2]

You are asked to enter the Year, Month and Day (separated by blanks) an event
is to occur and then the message to be displayed on that date.  A 0 may be 
entered for year, month or day (but not all), to indicate a reoccurring 
event. For example, a 0 for year means this event occurs every year, such as 
a birthday or holiday. You may enter just the last two digits of the year, 
also. After entering the date, you will be asked for the message.
When entering several messages, Return (Enter) will give the previous date.

Examples:
 1988  7  1     01:30p - Pick up birthday gift for Bill
 1988  4 15     Income tax due today.
    0 12 25     Christmas Day                 
    0  0 10     Car payment due 10th every month, any year
   89  6  0     This is every day in June, 1989   
    0  8  0     This is every day in September, any year   
 ADDING EVENTS [F2] (Continued)

There is a format for specifying an event to occur on a specific day of the 
week.  You may specify first through fifth, and last for days Monday through 
Sunday in the following way.  The number stands for first, second, etc.  The 
two letters are the first two letters of the day of the week.

 Example:  2WE  means the second Wednesday.

 The format is  nww  where n is 1 for first, 2 for second, ... ,5 for fifth,
 and 6 for last; and ww is MO for Monday, ... SU for Sunday.
 Also, you can enter LAS for the day, meaning the last day in the month.

 1989  3 1TU     This is the first Tuesday in March, 1989
    0 11 6TH     Last Thursday in November, Thanksgiving
    0  0 5FR     Fifth Friday of every month (doesn't occur if no 5th Friday)
   88  0 LAS     Last day in every month in 1988, Payday!
 ADDING EVENTS [F2] (Continued)

You may also specify a date by indicating how many days from today the event
is to occur.  This format is +n, where n is a number between 0 and 365.  For
this format, you don't need to specify the year or month, these are generated
automatically.  If the date today is Jan. 1, 1989, entering   

+10             

will create a data of Jan 11, 1989. This would be the same as having entered:

 1989  1 11

This form is useful, if, for example, you have something coming due in 90
days, and don't want to bother looking up exactly when that will be.

You can enter +0, which will give you today's date.
 ADDING EVENTS [F2] (Concluded)

You can specify a TIME on an event and have events sorted by that time.
If the first 6 characters of your MESSAGE are valid time, CALENDR will sort
the messages by this time.  The time format is HH:MMx where HH is the hour
(00 to 23), MM is the minutes (00 to 59) and x is 'A' or 'a' for 'am', or 
'p', 'P' for  'pm'.  Time may be entered in either 12 or 24 hour clocks; if 
24, the am or pm is ignored.  

Examples of Messages with times:
          12:00a   Midnight  or  12 O'clock am  or  Zero hundred hours
          09:30a   Nine-thirty am  
          09:31    Nine-thirtyone am (Note: Blank means am)
          12:00p   Noon  or  12 pm  or  Twelve hundred hours
          12:00    Noon also (Note: 12 is only hour where blank means pm)
          09:40p   Nine-forty pm
          21:40    2140  or  Nine-forty pm
 CHANGING EVENTS [F3]

When you choose Change Events, events are displayed on the screen in groups 
of fifteen and given numbers.  You can page through events using the PgUp, 
PgDn, Home and End keys.  To select an event to change, enter its number.  
You can then change the message associated with that event.  To quit without 
changing the event, hit Esc. Otherwise, hit enter to accept the new message. 
You can only change an event's message.  

To change the date, you must delete the event and Add a new one with that 
message. 

Hit Esc when through with all changes.  The changes are saved to disk when
you exit the program.



 DELETING/CANCELING EVENTS [F4]

This is similar to Change Events.  The PgUp, PgDn and Esc work the same. 
However, when you pick an event by number, if it is unmarked, you are asked 
whether to delete it or cancel it.  To Delete, enter 'D', to Cancel, enter 
'C' or <CR> (Carriage Return or Enter), to leave unchanged, hit ESC.  The 
event is then marked with a 'D' or 'C'.  If you want to remove the mark on 
any event, select it again, and the mark is automatically removed.  Any 
event marked will not display on the calendar.  
 The difference between delete and cancel is that when you quit the program, 
events marked with 'D' are deleted (not saved to the data file), while 
events marked with 'C' ARE saved to the data file, and also marked in this 
file with the 'C'.  These events won't display until the cancel mark is 
removed by selecting it again under Delete/Cancel.  Deleted events are only 
deleted upon quitting CALENDR, so you can change you mind before you quit. 
 If a deleted or canceled event is chosen under Change Events, then the mark 
is turned off. 
End of Help file.  You can't delete the "Info" screen.
