Be     sure to save current information before choosing this option.                                                                                               When "Saving a File", the program will always save 1040 basic information,    and will save any form which you have entered whether there is relevant       data here or not. This gives you the opportunity to save a partial return     and come back to it later without losing information. To keep file size       to a minimum, don't save a return in which you've been mainly exploring.      Explore first, then load NEW to begin the return you will save.                                                   << PgDn for next page >>  Page 4 of 7     You can enter forms and worksheets directly from the menu by choosing         "Forms menu" or "Worksheets".                                                                                                                               The menu item "Active forms" allows you to view active forms and delete       a form from the current active return.  Delete a form that is no longer       needed, or Return after viewing.  Caution:  You will lose any information     on the form deleted if it hasn't been saved to disk.  The "Active forms"      option pops up a window which lists forms for the current return and gives    you the option of deleting a form.                                                                                << PgDn for next page >>  Page 5 of 7     ALT+(C)alc      : Pop-up calculator is available from any screen.
