Professional Bartender 2.1

 	The Professional Bartender is a complete bartending program to assist both the professional

bartender and the amateur mixer just mixing a few drinks for friends.  The program is easy to use yet

very powerful.

 	When run the program will display the main screen.  The full list of over 1000 drinks will be

displayed in the list box.  Clicking the mouse button on any drink will display the drink.  Multiple

drinks can be highlighted by holding down the <CTRL> key while selecting a drink.  This allows you

to print only the drinks in the drink box that you want to.

 	(Note: The shareware version has only 220 drinks.  Register now for 1000+ drinks!)

Search

SEARCH:

 	The real power of this program is the search feature.  You can search for drinks on any key,

using logical AND and OR statements.  The last search string you used will appear in the search window

when you call it.  This allows you to narrow the last search further.

 	Searches must be entered in the order <<Search field>> <<AND or OR>> <<Search field>> etc...

You will not be allowed to enter two items in a row, or and AND right after an OR for example.

 	Please note:  On a 386 or slower computer, complex searches may take a while.  Up to a minute

or two is possible so please be patient.

    MENU BAR:

 	The menu bar is used to enter in the item for the search.  When you click on the item it will

appear in the search string window.  To enter an item not in the menu bar, click on the OTHER menu

option.  You will then be prompted to enter in the field on which you wish to search on.

    NEW SEARCH:

 	When the New Search radio button is pushed, the search will clear the drink list box.  Only the

drinks that satisfy your search string will appear.

    APPEND SEARCH:

 	When the Append Search radio button is pushed, the items that satisfy your search string will be

added to the drinks already in the drink list box.

    ALL:

 	Searching with the all key will re-list all possible drinks.

    AND:

 	And will search for drinks that include all of items listed.  For example:

 	Liquor(Vodka) AND Ingredients(Orange Juice) AND Glassware(Collins)

    OR:

 	Or will search for drinks that include either of the items listed.  For example:

    SEARCH will initiate the search, while CANCEL will cancel the search.

 	The MARK button will mark the currently displayed drink.  The drink will be placed into an

invisible print queue.  The computer will beep to signify that the drink has been marked.  Note

that there will be no visual conformation of this but the program will remember all drinks that

have been marked.

 	If you press the MARK button for a drink that has already been marked, a prompt will be

displayed asking if the drink should be un-marked.  This is how a drink can be removed from

the mark queue.

   	The marked drinks can be displayed by selecting the 'Display Marks' menu selection

under 'Display' on the menu bar.

 	The mark queue can be cleared by the 'Clear Marks' menu selection under 'Display' on the
