Reference Section Three: Screens Screen 3: Appointment Calendar Screen 3 ***** Dec 1983 Jan 1984 Feb 1984 ***** *app* -----------Calenders------------- ** ** * ** ** ** ** ** ** Information Presented This screen displays three one-month calendars. The central calendar always holds the current date, which is the date that you examine for appointments and deadlines. Note that the current date differs from "today", which can only be changed in BASIC. Whenever you enter screens 2 or 5, you reset the current date to today. Some of the dates on the three calendars are highlighted in inverse video. You can select which of three criteria TMPC will use to highlight dates: # Dates that are business holidays (besides Saturdays and Sundays), # Dates with appointments, or # Dates with appointments or memos. Note that, if you have TMPC highlight dates with appointments, it will highlight business holidays as well. The current date (which always appears in the center calendar) flashes. If the current date would be highlighted, it flashes faster than if it would not be.

However, this order is based on the calendar time, not the number of business days. Each deadline appears with its number of "bdays" (business days) or "cdays" (calendar days) left before the deadline. Page: 57 Reference Section Three: Screens Functions There are four basic functions of this screen. The first two are viewing items for the current date and selecting them for manipulation. Three boxes ("+", "-", and "p") all move the selected item and display a different portion of the item list. Moving into the "+" box with the [Right-Arrow] moves the selected item down one in the list; moving into the "-" box with the [Left-Arrow] moves the selected item up one in the list. The "p" box moves the list forward by one page. The other two functions of the screen are cutting and pasting. These functions allow you to delete, copy, and rearrange single-date items without using screen 9. To "cut" (remove from the list and put into a buffer) a single-date item from the list, select it, then move into the "c" box with the [Right-Arrow]. The selected item will disappear, and the "p" box will appear, indicating that there is something in the buffer. Moving to any screen except screen 3, or "cutting" again, will clear the buffer. To "paste" (deposit the buffer), select the item before which you want the buffer to go, and enter the "p" box with [Right-Arrow]. You may change the selected date (with screen 3) before pasting. Exits There are three exits from screen 6. Pressing [Up-Arrow] moves to screen 3, which allows you to change the current date. Pressing [Down-Arrow] moves to screen 9, which allows you to change the item selected in the list. Pressing [Left-Arrow] moves to screen 5, which resets the current date to today and clears the "paste" buffer. Page: 58
