                             ÍÍÍÍ INSTALLATION ÍÍÍÍ

    To install Xpress put the disk in your current drive type INSTALL &
    press the <Enter> key.  The install program will guide you through the
    process of installing Xpress.


                           ÍÍÍÍ GETTING STARTED ÍÍÍÍ

    1)  Xpress is a menu driven program. All the function keys used within
        this program are displayed with simple explanations. In the various
        menus the functions available within that area will be displayed in
        boxes. In the record entry screens the functions available are
        shown at the base of the screen. Some of these function keys do not
        perform the same function universally throughout the program.  We
        decided not to use multiple key-presses within Xpress. It was our
        intention to cut the amount of time wasted on learning pages of
        commands with multiple key definitions so that you could start
        using Xpress immediately.

         ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿
         ³  Throughout this documentation these brackets "< >" will   ³
         ³  be used to designate a command.  Sometimes with a         ³
         ³  function key (F1, F2,...), sometimes with a letter and    ³
         ³  sometimes with a word.                                    ³
         ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

    2)  The very "FIRST" area that you start with within Xpress are the
        Directories. Before medical, competition, schedules or any other
        record within the FILE section can be used,  it is necessary to
        first list all information applicable throughout the program within
        the GENERAL  and Horse directories.


        ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿
        ³  REMEMBER, information used throughout the program must be   ³
        ³  entered and saved first in the General & Horse Directories. ³
        ³  Bypassing these directories will corrupt the database.      ³
        ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

    3)  Scheduling in Xpress gives the user flexibility. The file section
        includes an area for scheduling horse related activities, feed
        requirements, medication and limitations. Scheduling can also be
        divided between  Medical, Breeding and the Competition file areas.




                                     Page 1





        When adding records to these areas notice the date, it's already
        pre-entered by your system.  Cursor back to the date and change it.
        Use any date you wish.

        Here are some ideas on using the different file sections for
        scheduling.

          Medical: Farrier & veterinary care, medications & immunizations.

          Breeding: Scheduling a stallion for mares that will be covered or
          a timetable for breeding a single mare.

          Competition: Scheduling show or event dates, classes or classes
          for a particular horse.

        Your schedules can be viewed , saved to a disk file or printed.
        Most areas will allow for listing a start date and an end date for
        printing your schedules.

    4)  The <F1> key, when not used for help in certain fields is open to a
        library.  There you have access to many forms of reference
        material.  You can also create your own references, using your
        wordprocessor.  Save it in ascii format and copy it to the Library
        Directory in Xpress for viewing.  Remember there are help files
        already in this directory (much like this manual) to assist you so
        don't save your files with the same name and overwrite them.  Also
        this function can be used to view reports that have been written to
        a disk file.

        Use the <F1> key.  Then cursor up or down using the arrow keys,
        press <Enter> to select a file.  While viewing the text you
        selected you can press <ALT-S> to search for a topic or reference.
        <Alt-A> will list the next occurrence.  The (<-) and (->) keys
        reposition the text on the screen.  After you are done press <Esc>.


                           ÍÍÍÍ NOTES ON EDITING ÍÍÍÍ

    * Only enter real dates. When doing so if the month has only 1 digit
      use a 0 before the digit, like (01/01/90).

    * The General Information window in each of the 3 files "Schedule,
      Competition and Medical" are the main screens for each of these
      records. When you select the option to add or edit a record you will
      find that the cursor is in the lower window. You can use up or down
      arrow keys to move from the top to the bottom window.

    * There are also some fields that require you enter more than 3
      characters. In the Competition file, Event is one of them.  Also when
      you go to Reports and use the "File" option (write to disk) you
      should use more than 3 characters.

    * When a field requires that a box should be marked, use an <X> only.

    * It's not necessary to fill in the area code for a phone number.

    * The last four digits of a zip code don't have to be entered.
      Here is an example: 53007-( leave blank ).

    The Directory is a vital part of Xpress. Information stored in this
    area is used throughout the program.

                               (Adding a record)
    From the "Main" menu choose <Directory>, next select <General>.  From
    this menu you can elect to add a record or records, edit an existing
    record or jump to REPORTS. Select the <Add> function.  Enter all the
    businesses, names, addresses and information available to you.  Be sure
    and fill in the Business field.  If no business name is available use
    the persons name that you entered in the name fields or any identifying
    word that would describe this record. If you intend on using this name
    or business for billing, mark the box with an (X).  If the record is
    not tagged for billing, accounts will not recognize this entry for
    access.  Don't forget to also tag the other listings that pertain to
    this entry (breeder, lessons, boarder, ect).  Mark their status in the
    box.  You can list more than one. People not involved with our business
    can also be kept on record also.  Just mark the box <OTHER>.

    A list of available commands are shown at the base of the data entry
    screen.

    use the <F10> key to save the records.

                               (Editing a record)
    The edit feature is much like adding a record. The delete function
    allows you to delete a record in the general directory. This function
    will also delete all billing information from Accounts.

                               (Adding a record)
    In the Horse Directory horses are listed by name and registration
    number.  This information is vary important and supports major
    functions in this program. It's advisable to make sure that the horses
    name is spelled correctly and the registration number is correct also.
    Once the record is saved neither the name or registration number can be
    edited. What this means is that after you leave the record (save it)
    and find there is a mistake in these 2 fields you must delete the
    entire record and reenter it.

    To select the horses sex, cursor to the field. The program will display
    a listing. Select the proper entry and use the <ENTER> key to write it
    to the record.

    This record will list two veterinarians. These entries will be taken
    from the General Directory. The program does this automatically as you
    pass thru the names. If you choose not to list a vet at this time use
    the <ESC> key after the Search Window displays a listing of
    veterinarians.





                                     Page 3





    Much like the General Directory, the Horse Directory displays a listing
    of entries to tag for the purpose of cataloging the horse entry.  Use
    an (X) when marking an entry. Multiple selection are allowed.  The <F2>
    key is used to allow you the choice of selecting a name (owner) from
    the General Directory and write it to the horse record. In this
    instance it is not necessary to first enter the information in the
    General Directory.  You can enter the name and address manually and it
    doesn't have to be kept in the General Directory. But for billing
    purposes and some reports, it is advisable to first enter the owner's
    name in the General Directory, than allow the program to write it to
    the Horse Directory record.

    For example: If you run a breeding farm and the entry is a mare, She
    may be at your facility for a time. Her owner would also be paying
    board fees as well as breeding fees. This means that the mare is there
    for breeding and she will be boarded also. Both Breeding and Boarding
    would be tagged with an (X).
    A list of available commands are shown at the base of the data entry
    screen.

    <PgDn> to add additional records. When you are finished adding records
    use the <F10> key to save the records.

                               (Editing a record)
    When editing a record in the Horse Directory, all the fields listed
    with the exception of the horses name and registration number may be
    changed. If the listing shows that the horse is a stallion and he has
    now been gelded, go back to that field and manually erase it.(Cursor to
    the beginning and use the space bar to overwrite the field). The
    program will than give you a listing to make another selection from.
    Use this same concept to change veterinarians. Or in this case the
    <ESC> key after erasing the vet name. No listing will be used than.
    Use the <F5> key to delete horses from the program.

                               A word of caution!

    Getting started in this area is fairly simple and straight forward.
    When you choose a file, you can add a record, edit an existing record,
    go to Reports or return to the Files Menu change the selection or exit
    back to the Main Menu. When a record is going to be added the horse is
    selected from the Horse Directory. Use the arrow keys to cursor through
    the listing to the horse this record is intended for. Press <Enter>.
    The name, registration number and sex will be appended to the new
    record. The field which list the horses sex can be edited at any time.
    Cursor to the beginning , use the space bar to overwrite the field.
    The program will than list the options available. Select one, use the
    <Enter> key to write the change to the record. This option is helpful
    when a stallion is gelded and you wish to change subsequent records.

    Adding new records to Training takes on two different meanings.
    Add a completely new file for a horse with a new set of records for a
    different training period. Or adding to an already existing schedule.
    In both cases these are new entries.

    To add a new file or a new file with entries first fill in the
    information necessary to aid in cataloging the period. Here is an
    example. For <File> use the horses name (either full name or an
    abbreviated version. Leave a space than place the date training is to
    start. Remember, the field length is 30 characters in length.

    Breeding allows the user to save information in three areas "mare,
    stallion and foal". Breeding can be used like a schedule and dates pre-
    entered.  Reports can be generated and posted like schedules.  These
    reports can also be updated and used as detailed breeding records.
    Information in this area is also used to print contracts.

    All horses entered in Breeding are first listed from the Horse
    Directory. Selected by record search and appended automatically to the
    breeding record being edited. This is true of all records within the
    file section were information is selected by a search listing.

    Here is an explanation of how to add information to the breeding
    record.

    The first area of importance is to list the breeding season for the
    stallion. From this area the cursor will move to the mare. Use the

    A search window with a selection of mares will appear. If the mare you
    wish to add to this record is not listed, you didn't add her to the
    Horse Directory. You will have to abandon this record and return to the
    Horse Directory to do  so. Use the <ESC> to leave the record without
    saving. If your mare was listed continue with adding information to
    this record. Look at the information that was carried over from the
    Horse Directory. Is it correct? Do you wish to list a different
    veterinarian?  Again, you will have to return to the Horse Directory to
    make the necessary changes. If you will notice that the veterinarian
    listed is the 1st listing from the Horse Directory.  This is the
    primary vet. Lets move on to the Arrival & Departure Date. Enter the
    date the mare is to arrive. If no information is available at this
    time, use the Edit feature at a later date to do this. Now, choose the
    method of breeding, pass over the field with the cursor key.  The
    program will present a listing, select one, press <Enter> to write the
    selection to the record.  Now you can pre-enter breeding dates or do
    this as the mare is covered. The additional information about the
    status of the mare (testing Positive or Negative for pregnancy) can be
    entered at a later time.  Also please note that the results are entered
    using the program much the same way as the breeding method was listed.
    You will find this is done in many area's of the program.  Use the
    <PgDn> key to add additional mares to this stallion.  Press <F10> to
    save the information and exit to the previous window.

                               (Editing a record)
    When the <F5> key is used to delete a record, only the record
    containing the mare listed to the screen will be deleted.

    Pedigree contains  2 pages, Page 1 is general information on the horse.
    Help files are available for Legs, Hoof color and Facial.  Use the <F1>
    key while the cursor is positioned on any of these fields for help with
    describing legs, hoof color and facial markings. This information may
    be helpful for writing descriptions necessary for registration.

    Page 2 displays the pedigree of the horse. This area will show 4
    generations preceding the horse the pedigree is intended for. If you
    are adding a record you have the choice of manually entering all the
    information for the pedigree or use pedigrees from the Sire and/or the
    Dam already on file.  Use <F2>=Create to select pedigree/s from the
    listing stored within this program.

    When you received Xpress there should be an example of both a mare and
    stallion's pedigree on file. Use the edit function from the Pedigree
    menu to browse the records and  view both examples of pedigrees.  After
    you are finished return to the menu and select the add function to
    create a new pedigree. You will be choosing a horse from a listing in
    the Horse Directory for this. It's not important which horse is chosen.
    After a selection is made use the tools described previously to help
    fill in the fields for legs, face, hoof and body. Body doesn't get any
    such help like legs, head, and hoofs do from using the <F1> key.
    When you are ready to move on to page 2 use the <PgDn> key.

    In this area new pedigrees are created.  Use <F2>=Create to bring up
    the menu with Mare, Stallion and Continue.  Choose <Mare>. Select the
    mare from the listing. Now select <Stallion> and make a choice from the
    listing. After you are finished move the bar to <Continue> and press
    <Enter> to remove the pop-up menu. Than press <F10> to save the record
    and return to the Menu.

    Did you notice that both the mare and stallions pedigree's where
    appended one generation to the right?

    Now when creating a pedigree of your own it may be necessary to make
    one or both of the listing manually. After building a file of new
    pedigrees,  creating pedigrees for new foals will not require a lot of
    manual entry.

                               (Editing a record)
    It's important to note that pedigrees from previous entries can only be
    added while adding a new record. In edit mode both page 1 and page 2
    can be edited and saved but the feature using the <F2> key to create a
    new pedigree is not available.

                               (Adding a record)
    Competition includes information about the event, handler, rider, good
    points, things to improve, etc. Multiple records for a single event can
    be saved listing different horses in different classes.  Competition is
    setup differently than the other areas.

    Adding new records to Competition takes on two different meanings.
    Add a completely new event or adding a horse or horses to an existing
    event. In both cases these are new entries.

    To add a new event or a new event with entries first fill in the
    information about the event. If this is not a new event use the <F4> to
    choose an existing event. Information shown can be edited (changed) or
    added too from the existing event. Now if this is a new event and if
    all information necessary is not available at the present time just
    list the event.  Use the <F10> key to save this information and proceed
    to the next area. Notice the information at the top of the screen.
    This is the information listed previously.  It can not be edited from
    this screen. In this area classes are added along with the horse. A
    class must be entered in  order to save this record.  If none is
    entered all information that was listed will be lost.  Lets continue
    and add information to Class.

    After a class is listed press the <Enter> key to move on to the
    Entries, than the Placing. If these aren't available (pre-entry) use
    the <Enter> key to pass over them to and through the horse field.  The
    program will automatically show a listing of horses from the Horse
    Directory.  Cursor to the desired selection, use the <Enter> key to
    write the horse to the record. If a mistake was made in choosing a
    horse, overwrite the horse with the space bar and use the <Enter> key
    to reselect a different horse. Information on points earned or/and
    earnings can be entered also. Totals for these entries will show up in
    the generated reports.

    Comments can be added now or at a later date.  Judges can also be
    added. They may be entered manually or if listed in the General
    Directory, use the <F3> key to append their name to the record.
    If this is a one time thing, entering a judges name manually is OK.
    But if the judge is used in other areas the name should be first
    written to the General Directory than taken from there. Also if the
    judge is not listed in the General Directory the name cannot be used
    for searches.

    (NOTE): the word JUDGE can be interpreted to mean OFFICIAL, STEWARD or
    anyone responsible for the final results in an event.

    Scheduling for events can also be done from within Competition and
    updated as complete records by editing after the event.  Schedules
    created using pre-entered data can be used at events by using the
    blanks left on the uncompleted report to keep notes.  Later these notes
    can be entered into the record.

    When you are finished with this class use the <PgDn> key to add
    additional classes or press <F10> to save the information and exit to
    the previous window.

                               (Editing a record)
    When a record in Competition is to be edited it means only the class
    from that event. Events can only be edited from the function used to
    <Add> a record.

    There are two different functions used for deletion in Competition.
    The <F4> key is used to delete individual classes from an event.
    The <F5> key will delete the event and all the classes tied to the
    event. The horse can still be changed by using the space bar and new or
    different judges can be added. along with adding comments.
    The <Esc> key will allow for leaving the record without making changes.

    This area is setup to keep a record of both renewable and non-renewable
    items. Their cost, value, date of purchase and the vendor item or items
    where purchased from.  Renewable items are such things as hay, grain,
    medication s, etc. Non-renewable items are such things as saddles, hay
    forks, brushes, etc. There are 2 fields listed in the vendor box, one
    is a Date and the other is Vendor Price, that can be used for keeping
    an up to date listing of new item cost.  Neither of these fields can be
    accessed from the reports utility.  You can view them only by the edit
    file. This area will see more development for a better implementation
    of inventory control in later releases of Xpress.

                               (Adding a record)
    The functions for Medical are basically the same as Schedule and
    Competition.  Medical records are added by first selecting a horse from
    the search window. General information like allergies, deformities &
    limitations are than added. These areas most often won't change but
    can still be edited.  Injuries, examinations, hoof care and breeding
    cycles, just to name a few, are occurrences.  These things do change.
    When entering a new record the date field will list the current date
    read from the computer. If this date isn't what you want, cursor to it,
    type over the date. Now use the <Enter> key to proceed on to Category.
    Use the <Enter> key again, a listing will appear, make a selection
    press <Enter> to write that choice to the Category field.  Before going
    on any further it's important to let you know that there is HELP
    available for this area working with Categories and their uses. Use the
    <F1> key while the cursor is in the Category field or on the first line
    where an explanation is going to be listed. The listing shown defines
    some categories with examples on how they can be applied to medical
    records.

    Lets continue on to Complications/Treatment/Hoofcare. For each
    occurrence list that which best describes the condition, treatment or
    scheduled maintenance for the horse's well being. Many times, scheduled
    maintenance for a horse's health or hoof care are reoccurring
    conditions. Using a predefined template eliminates the need to reenter
    the same information. At the base of the screen, were all the commands
    are listed, you'll see one that says <F3>=Notes. This command will
    bring into Medical pre-written instructions or conditions to be used in
    the area describing the occurrence.  The use of templates will not
    restrict you from making modifications.  If additional information is
    going to be added bring in the template first or the added entry will
    be overwritten.

    Here are a few suggestions for Categories and Templates:

        Immunization: List the shots that were given and why.

        Laboratory: Kind of test and results. Coggins, blood, ect.

        Semen Report: Motility, sperm concentration, ect.

        Surgery: What was surgery for and results. (sutured vagina) ect..

        Injury: Describe injury, treatment and results.

        Sickness: Can be disease or ailment, (colic, abortion, cough,
        scours or pneumonia) ect. Treatment can also be listed.  Estrus:
        Heat period for mare. In the comments field you can list the length
        of the heat period.  The date that you entered at the top of the
        category window should be the date when the heat period begun.
        Using this date you can chart the Estrus Cycle for use in your
        mares medical report for the best time cover her.  Cycle last from
        19-26 days the average being 21 days.

        Examination: Check horse for breedability, physical wellness. ect

    To make revisions to the Category use Category/Edit Record.  To add new
    categories choose Category/Add Record.

    To make revisions to the templates use Template/Edit Record. To add new
    templates choose Template/Add Record.

    After Complications/Treatment/Hoofcare there is a box for Veterinarian
    and Farrier. If you intend on having a vet or farrier attend to this
    horse mark one of the boxes with an <X>. Marking one of the boxes will
    tell the program to bring up a listing with either all the farriers
    or veterinarians from the General Directory when the cursor is passed
    through the Name field. After you make a selection press <Enter> to
    write the name to the record. If you are satisfied with the information
    written to the record <PgDwn> key to add an additional record or press
    <F10> to save and exit.

                           (Scheduling with Medical)
    Whether doing a follow-up on an illness or additional procedures in an
    examination. By pre-entering scheduled visits from the farrier,
    veterinarian, worming & medications, just to name a few, you can use
    these reports as (content specific) schedules and post them.  The type
    of report you want to print adds to the versatility of setting up
    schedules using medical.

                    (Using the <F2> key to access Accounts)
    This feature will allow for leaving the present record in Medical
    suspended and open up a  window in the Accounts Directory. From
    Accounts select the name  or business to access. Use the <Enter> key
    to process your choice. Notice the horse's name has automatically been
    appended to the account. Make your entry, use the <PgDn> key to add
    additional entries. Than use the <F10> key to save the record and
    return to Medical. This feature can be used at anytime while the record
    is open.

                             (Editing  a contract)
    Much like Breeding, the Boarding Contract is established from a
    different record area. The Boarding Contract originates from the Horse
    Directory. When a horse is added to that directory and an <X> is placed
    in the box next to Boarding, a basic contract is established.








                                     Page 15





    All that is necessary is to add additional information in this area to
    complete the contract. Start out by listing the date you are writing
    this contract. Than list the boarding fees. Next, if the person in
    question is a minor, list the guardian, than the security deposit and
    the grace period when the payments are due. When you arrive at
    "Veterinary & Farrier attention will be arranged by:" select either
    Manager or Owner.  Than after it says "will be invoiced" choose either
    directly or by manager.  An example of this is: "If the service is
    arranged by the OWNER", it is very probable that the billing will go
    directly to the OWNER from either the veterinarian or farrier.  The
    choice is yours in how you wish to setup the billing arrangements.
    Now list the state where this contract will be executed.  Where it
    says, "The following are required:" You can place an <X> within the box
    where you wish these directions to be adhered to. Now enter the date
    this contract takes effect. See the area where it says "Boarding
    Services"? This is were you list the services provided for this
    boarding contract.

    This is another area were templates are used. Generally most services
    at your facility may be universal. What this means is that the services
    provided are basically the same for all boarders within your facility.
    Using the predefined templates will eliminate the need to reenter the
    same information over numerous contracts.  The use of templates will
    not restrict you from making modifications or additions to the
    services.  If additional services are going to be added bring in the
    template first or the added services will be overwritten.  At the base
    of the screen, were all the commands are listed, you'll see one that
    says <F2>=Services.  This command will bring into Boarding pre-defined
    services that you provide.

     When finished with the contract use the <F10> to save it.

    If you intend on deleting this contract, it can only be done by
    deleting the horse from the Horse Directory.

    This area contains the word File(for defining  each record) and the
    area where a predefined template can be created to be used in Boarding
    Contracts to list the services provided. Ideas for services include
    training, riding lessons and breeding just to name a few.
    Additional templates can be added by using the <PgDn> key. Be sure and
    save your entries with the <F10> key when finished.

    Unlike Sale, to add a contract for the Release of Liability the person
    for whom this contract is intended for must first be listed in the
    General Directory. Now select <Edit Liability Release> to complete the
    information necessary for generating a Contract.

    Much of what is asked for within this record should be easily
    understood. If there are questions about how to fill in the different
    fields some of the examples shown under "SALES" may help.

    This contract originates within the General Directory so all record
    deletions must be done from within that directory. Use the <Edit>
    function to alter or erase information from this contract.

    contract before exiting. If none are desired use the <Esc> key to

    Accounts is a billing utility. This utility keeps a running balance of
    entries. You can add, edit, delete, print statements and a report.

    An Account is established when, after, a Business and name are written
    to a record in the General Directory and the appropriate box within the
    General Directory is written to with an (X).

    Before adding entries to Accounts setup the header file, select <Edit
    Header>. The report name listed at the very top is used as part of a
    header for billing purposes. Both the name and address originate from a
    different area (Edit Header). If you choose to use your own stationary
    with a header already printed, omit this information from this file.
    Remember, this header is also used in printing contracts.

    If you live in a state that has an added tax for your services enter a
    tax rate.  Remember, if your rate is 5% enter [.0500]. The Notice that
    is shown can be used for special announcements. This will be printed
    across the statement just below the last entry.  This can also be
    omitted if you wish. The Remark is placed at the base of the statement
    and generally list the terms of payment.  Like the rest, this feature
    is an option.  There is only one record allowed for this area.  After
    editing this file don't forget to use the <F10> key to save it and
    return to the previous menu. Now proceed to Accounts and add your
    entries.

                         (Adding an entry to Accounts)
    The selection for adding accounts is taken from the General Directory.
    With <Add Accounts> new entries can be added to existing accounts.
    Select a business and proceed to enter the necessary data to the
    record. The computer date is automatically written to the record.  If
    the date shown is not what is desired for this entry move the cursor to
    the area and overwrite the date. The next area ask to list a horse for
    whom this entry is for. Use the <F2> key to bring up a listing of
    horses from the Horse Directory.  Make a choice than press the <Enter>
    key. This will append the horse to the record. If the service and or
    materials are taxable put a [Y] within the box.  If services are not
    taxable but materials are they will have to be separate entries.
    Service/Materials, this field is important. If you fail to complete
    this entry the program will not save the record. There must be
    something written to this field or the record will be lost.  Press
    <Enter> to move on to the cost.  Enter the cost of the service and/or
    materials.  Enter the dollar amount, put the period in, now enter the
    cents. Press <Enter when you are finished.

    Notice that the Adjusted Balance changed.

    If you marked the box for "Taxable [Y]", after you leave cost the tax
    is automatically entered and the adjusted balance reflects that added
    amount. See the entry for "Received on Account".  You can use the Edit
    function for accounts to make adjustments to this record at a later
    time. The Adjusted Balance will automatically tabulate the change when
    any of these entries are added to or edited.  <PgDn> will allow for
    making additional entries in this one Account. If you wish to add
    additional entries, but to a different Account use the <F10> key to
    save this record. From the menu select <Add Entry>.  Use the same
    procedure to add records as previously described.

                              (Editing an Account)
    You can edit an account to make corrections if a mistake was made or to
    make additional entries to an already existing record. An Example of
    this is "Received on Account". Records can also be deleted from Edit
    using the  <F5> key.  Be sure and save the changes with <F10>.

                                (Delete Billing)
    This utility allows you to selectively delete records in an account
    using a range of dates. You can select an account using the <F4> key.
    A Start Date & End Date is listed.  Use just the start date or a start
    and end date. If you use the start date only it must match the first
    record in the account you want to delete.

                           (Print Billing Statement)
    The statement for billing has various options for selecting accounts
    for billing. Boarder and Lessons are two such options. You may
    recognize both of these words by their placement in the General
    Directory. You can see by their use it is important all  such entries
    in the General Directory be tagged to illustrate for what purpose these
    entries where made. Another function that enables the printing of
    selected records is the <F6> key. This key will display all accounts
    within the program. From this listing use the <Enter> key to tag
    selected accounts for billing. Now use the <Esc> key and return to the
    previous screen. Notice the notice at the top of the screen.  This
    tells you that accounts have been tagged and how many. Now you are
    ready to choose a range of dates. All entries posted to the account
    between the selected dates will be printed to the statement. When you
    are ready to print use the <F10> to continue.  Choose the method of
    output. Send the statement/s to the printer, file or to the screen.

                             (Report for Accounts)
    The report is a summary of an account. The method of setup and
    printing a report is the same as billing.

    This choice can be aborted and an alternative selection made by using
    the <Esc> key. Or press <F10> to go on and process the report.

    In the next step you can search the records necessary to find the data
    you need for your report.

    The sort criteria may have many choices available (depending on the
    report type and information desired). As an example, from a sort
    criteria window in Medical:

        When choosing a name mark either the veterinarian or farrier
        box with an (X). This enables the program to selectively search for
        and report on vet or farrier related occurrences."  Other report
        sort criteria examples: "There is in many cases a Start Date and
        End Date." If you look at the bottom of the window you will notice
        some <F?> keys in a box named COMMANDS.  These function keys help
        with searches for selecting  information to help with your
        searches.

    One important note about this is that the data available for selection
    is not taken from the search area, but from the General and Horse
    Directories. The reason being there would show up multiple entries of
    the same data in the search window were you select information to write
    to the search criteria window. When you are finished use the <F10> key
    to do your report either to the printer, file or screen.





                                     Page 20





    If to the printer, make sure your printer is setup with the proper
    drivers installed in ES and is on. All the reports with the exception
    of Pedigree and Inventory print at 10 cpi. These two reports print at
    12 cpi and 8 lines per inch.  Remember, if you don't use the proper
    printer driver you may not get the reports to print properly.  When you
    print to a file the report will be saved with an extension ".TXT" to
    disk in ascii format.  This file will be saved in the LIBRARY
    directory. Your reports can be viewed with the <F1> from within this
    program. When you print to screen a window with the report will appear.
    You can <PgUp> or <PgDn> to view or search using the <ALT-S> for the
    first occurrence and <ALT-A> for each subsequent use.  These commands
    are similar to those used when viewing files using the Library (<F1>
    key).  If the report is wider than the screen, you can use the (<-) or
    (->) arrow keys to scroll the screen.

    The label printing utility is setup to print both pinfed and sheet
    labels. The  one across (3 1/2 x 15/16) pinfed labels are for impact
    type printers. The sheet labels are for laser or deskjet printers.
    It's possible that the sheet labels can be printed on a dot-matrix
    printer with a cut-sheet feeder but I must caution you, this has not
    been tested.

    From the Labels Menu there are choices for printing Address Labels and
    Shipping Labels. There are also choices for setting up the print
    functions of both Address and Shipping Labels. The very first thing you
    must do is setup either or both of these label print utilities before
    trying to print with them.

                      (Address & Shipping Label Defaults)
    The very first thing you are asked is to select the Letter Quality.
    Than the number of labels across. If the printer is pin fed use the
    number [1]. If you are using a laser or deskjet you may choose [2] or
    [3] labels across. The function for positioning the labels defaults to
    [0]. If you have a problem with where the printing starts on the label
    use <Label Left Margin> to make that correction. Next is a listing of
    the Labels supported by this program.

                       (Print Address & Shipping Labels)
    Address labels are printed using information from the General
    Directory. Select Address Labels to setup the search criteria. The
    first thing you will be doing is choosing the entries to use in
    printing the Address Labels. Notice where it says "Tagged records to
    print". Presently it says [NONE]. Use the <F6> key to bring up a
    listing of names. At the base of the search screen are commands for
    tagging and untagging entries. Apply these commands for making the
    necessary selections. Now use the <Esc> key and return to the previous
    menu. Notice that [NONE] has changed to [YES]. Other ways of making a
    selection are to enter "x's" to tag groupings like "Trainer".  More
    than one can be tagged. There is a Logic choice available for this
    criteria also (as described earlier in reports).  Use an "A" or an "O"
    when choosing AND OR for Logic. One other thing to mention is that you
    have your choice to print your labels with the Business and/or First
    Name.  A Comment can be added and printed to each label.  After you are
    satisfied with your choices press <F10> to start printing.


                                   S E T U P

    From setup a different printer can be selected. The database can also
    be optimized (repacked). This is done to totally remove deleted
    records. It is recommended that this function be used on a regular
    basis. Registration can be printed from this area also.  Also displayed
    in this area is your system configuration. This information is read by
    the program while it is loading. It is displayed here in this area for
    your convenience

     Mail has two functions. Form letters can be created and with mail
     merge information stored in Billing and the General Directory can be
     selectively exported in a customized format (delimited ascii file).

                             ( Create Form Letters )
     This area allows you to create 2 page letters and merge information
     from the General Directory. All the letters that you write will be
     stored in a special database and can only be accessed from this
     program. Letters can have up to 80 columns, 66 lines and be 2 pages
     long. There are 10 areas available for storing your form letters.
     The <F1> key in this area provides text sensitive help. The help in
     this area explains the use of the different keys used for adding and
     editing form letters.

     Now that the  choice has been made to work with form letters choose
     [Create/Edit Form Letter]. Now select the first listing. Don't worry
     about the names used in listing the form letters.  These can be
     changed from within the area used to create your form letter.  Now use
     the <Enter> key to complete your selection.

     The first thing to do from within the area you are going to use to
     create a form letter is to familiarize yourself with the keys and
     functions.  At the base of the screen are a list of functions that are
     necessary for creating and editing form letters.

     <F2>=Merge Fields:  The fields used for merging selected information
     are taken from the General Directory. With the <F2> key you are able
     to list these fields and insert them into your letter. When you print
     the letter the program will then replace these fields with information
     from that directory. The same  fields may be inserted as often as
     necessary within the same letter.

    This function is setup to export database records into a delimited
    ascii file. There are two choices for exporting mail merge records.
    Each is for a different database.

                               (Edit Mail Merge)
    Before choosing the records for your mail merge file the order and
    fields necessary for export have to be setup. Set the cursor at the
    position of the first field for import. Next use the <F2> key to list
    the fields available. Cursor to the field desired and use the <Enter>
    key to make the selection. If a group of fields represent a single
    entry put them on one(same) line, spaced according to what the layout
    of the importing structure is. The next field selected should be places
    beneath the previous field. And so on...

    Mark=<F6>: Cursor to the area you wish to work with and press <F6>.

    having to retype the phrase.
