These items can be in as much detail as space and your interest allows. For example, under Item you could have 'APPLES, MACINTOSH' and 'APPLES, STAYMEN' and "APPLES, DELICIOUS'. It is not necessary, really, to enter any other information about the grocery Items than the description about the Item itself, but this would greatly diminish the effectiveness of the GROCERY SHOPPER. Perhaps the greatest value of the GROCERY SHOPPER is its ability to organize your shopping list into aisles to make your trip to the market a bit quicker and more effective. So at a minimum, be sure to enter the description under ITEM and the location of the item under AISLE. You add a new item by selecting 'ADD' from the command menu at the top of the screen, modify existing grocery items with the 'UPDATE' choice, and erase an individual item by selecting 'DELETE'. Get more detailed help by selecting a choice from the above menu and then pressing .

FILTER allows you to establish a condition that your data must meet in order to be viewed on screen or printed. An example would be if you only wanted to see those grocery items which were found in Aisle #1. Setting up a filter where Aisle = 1 then establishes a 'condition' whereby the program will only allow those items (items in aisle #1) to be displayed or printed. Such conditions can be this simple, or exceedingly complex, stringing together a large number of 'variables', 'operators' and 'logical connectors'. The FILTER operation takes you through several steps which are easy to follow and complete. Each step asks you to make a choice from a box by moving a highlight bar and pressing when the bar is on your choice. The boxes are untitled, so I will simply number them as steps for simplicities sake. Lets create a filter to see only those items in AISLE #1. 1. Step 1 requires that you choose to establish a new QUERY, or filter, change an existing query or undo an existing query. 2. In step 2 you choose from among the data fields available in the GROCERY SHOPPER database. They are: CATEGORY Categories for grocery items which you've previously entered through the EDIT ITEMS operation. SUB_CAT Short for Sub Category, a subset of CATEGORY. ITEM Your grocery item. AISLE Where each item is located in the store. SELECTED Whether you've selected the item form inclusion on the current shopping list. QUANTITY The AMOUNT shown via the CREAT A LIST operation. In the example given above, your would move the highlight bar to AISLE and press . 3. Step 3 requires you to choose an OPERATOR. Thats simply determining the relationship between two pieces of data, in our example, the relationship between AISLE and the aisle number, 1. If we want all the items in aisle #1 we select the operator EQUALS. 4. Now you are prompted to enter a TARGET VALUE. In our example the TARGET VALUE is 1, for AISLE = 1. In other instances you may need to enter words and when doing so, be sure to use capitals, since the filterign operation is case sensitive. One note. If you should use SELECTED as a part of your condition the target value is the check-mark (û). In order to enter a check-mark you must hold down the key and type 251 from the NUMERIC KEYPAD. 5. The last step is to choose a LOGICAL CONNECTOR (AND, OR, DONE). In this example we are done creating the condition. In more complex filters you would choose AND or OR accordingly (ie: AISLE = 1 AND CATEGORY = PRODUCE).(R)disk fulldisk full.NTXdisk full->->->CNLDMAUEUIUHELP .T..F.   9#ALNXY!9#$*L#Y CR DBTFÚÄ¿³ÙÄÀ³ÉÍ»º¼ÍȺ COMSPEC/c "[]|<>+=;,.DBFPRINT The PRINT operation allows you to print out your shopping list. You have the choice to print the list in a 4 column, condensed print format, or in a normal sized print, 2 column format. The 4 column format allows you to have up to 211 items on a single page, thus saving you the hassle of having to carry more than one page while you're shopping, and is recommended. However, if for some reason your printer will not accept the condensed formatting from the GROCERY SHOPPER, or if you have difficulty reading the condensed print, you may wish to use the 2 column, regular sized print format. Note that in either case, the number of columns used by the program is dependent upon the number of items you've selected for your shopping list. Each column is 53 lines. If you have less than that without a few different aisles, you'll only get one column, regardless of the format you choose. Generally, each multiple of 53 adds another column. When you select PRINT you will be presented with a vertical menu for choosing between two and four column format. Move the highlight bar with the arrow keys and press . Press if you changed your mind and don't want to print. If you have not selected any items for your list or the printer is not ready (turned off, out of paper, etc) the program will complain and not print anything. If your list includes at least one selection it can be printed. You will be asked if you're sure, and, if you indicate that you are, the report will be sent to the printer.(R)disk fulldisk full.NTXdisk full->->->CNLDMAUEUIUHELP .T..F.   9#ALNXY!9#$*L#Y CR DBTFÚÄ¿³ÙÄÀ³ÉÍ»º¼ÍȺ COMSPEC/c "[]|<>+=;,.DBF.DBF.DBF.DBF.DBT.DBT.DBT.DBT.TXT.TXT.MEM.MEM.FRM.LBL.TMP.PRN\/:\/:\/:.T..F.

No items or anything else are actually deleted from the database. In the EDIT ITEMS sub system DELETE means to delete or erase one individual record about an item. Selecting DELETE will mark the record to be erased, and the sign will appear in the status box at the bottom of the screen. If you press DELETE again, the sign will disappear and the record un-marked for later erasure. Even if not erased, the item will remain marked indefinitely. Once you've marked an item to be erased it will remain marked until you either unmark it or authorize the program to erase it. When you attempt to return to the MAIN MENU from this sub-system the program will ask it you want to Delete marked records. Respond accordingly. Once you mark a record for erasure and attempt to go back up to the previous level of the program you will be asked whether you want all marked records erased, EVEN IF YOU'VE UNMARKED THE RECORD and have no other marked records in the database. This isn't a problem and, to save time, in such a case answer CANCEL (even if you answer YES, nothing bad will happen, it just takes a little longer).(R)disk fulldisk full.NTX->->->CNLDMAUEUIUHELP .T..F.   9#ALNXY!9#$*L#Y CR DBTFÚÄ¿³ÙÄBROWSE The BROWSE operation allows you to take a look at your ITEM data organized in a tabular form so that you can look at many ITEMS at one time.

A check-mark will then appear next to the ITEM in the BUY column. The ITEMS appear in alphabetical order according to AISLE. When you select CREATE A LIST an Item status box will appear in the left center portion of your screen. This box corresponds with the ITEM upon which the highlight bar rests, and keeps you up to date on the AISLE in which that item is located, and the CATEGORY and SUB CATEGORY to which it has been assigned. Monitoring this box is particularly helpful when a FILTER condition is being used, and for making on the fly changes to your ITEMS database. If, while CREATing a list you notice that an ITEM is in the wrong AISLE, CATEGORY or SUB CATEGORY, or there is some other error you can back out of the CREATE A LIST operation with the key, and select EDIT ITEMS from the Main Menu. You will pop into the EIDT ITEMS sub-system and the ITEM on which the highlight bar was resting in the previous operation (CREAT A LIST) wil appear on screen. Simply select UPDATE and make the necessary changes, reverse the process and get back to making up your list. If you wish to include an AMOUNT, or quantity, for an ITEM press the letter 'Q'. A highlighted field will appear next to the checked item, under the AMOUNT column. Type in a number or a word (ie: CASE) up to 5 characters long and press when finished. Note that you cannot enter an AMOUNT if you have not selected the item (ie: a check-mark does not appear in the 'BUY' column). If for some reason you want to 'un-select' or delete a selected ITEM, simply press the 'D' key. The check-mark and the amount will be removed from the screen and from your list. The FILTER operation is particularly useful when putting together lists from large databases of grocery items. (R)disk fulldisk full.NTXdisk full->->->CNSEARCH The SEARCH operation serves two functions. The first, obviously, is to help you search for an item (or other field) through utilization of a number of paths. You may search based on: AISLE: Find the aisle in which the item is located. GROCERY ITEM: Search directly for the item itself. CATEGORY: Search for the Category, which you've established, in which the item is placed. SUB CATEGORY: Find the sub category in which the item fits. Except for the GROCERY ITEM itself, searching by the other criteria will take you to the first item in that group, if the group exists. The list of items will then be presented in alphabetical order according to the group upon which you searched. For example, if you searched by AISLE the items then be displayed (and printed) sorted first by AISLE, then by alphabetical order of individual item. Hence the second function of the SEARCH operation, to set the database into the order in which you want to view it. You may find it most convenient to ADD and UPDATE items based on a category, PRODUCE for example. You could select the SEARCH operation, SEARCH by CATEGORY for the target value of PRODUCE. Even if PRODUCE isn't found, the database will continue to be presented as if sorted by CATEGORY. To change back, simply do a SEARCH for something (even if it doesn't exist) using the SEARCH criteria upon which you want the database sorted. Whenever you establish an index order, that order will be in effect until you change it, or until you start the program up again (GROCERY SHOPPER always starts in order of AISLE). When you flip over to direct editing of Items, if you elect to change the index order, that change will remain in effect only as long as you are performing one of the EDIT ITEMS operations. When you flip back to the MAIN MENU the index order wil return to where it was previously.(R)disk fulldisk full.NTXdisk full->->->CNLDMAUEUIUHEMAIN MENU The MAIN MENU is a Lotus Style horizontal menu with 7 optional commands. Select a command by moving the highlight bar to the command of your choice and press OR press the first letter of the command (ie: 'S' or 's' for SEARCH). Each command, when selected, has more detailed help. Select the command then press for more help. (R)disk fulldisk full.NTX->->->CNLDMAUEUIUHELP .T..F.   ADD or UPDATE Grocery Items Add or Update information about individual grocery items through these two commands. You are working with 5 fields: AISLE # Enter any combination of numbers, letters or words appropriate for your needs. ITEM This is the specific grocery item. Be as detailed as possible. For example, instead of just 'BREAD' you may wish to enter 'BREAD, WHEAT' or BREAD, WHITE'. COST PER Cost per unit by which the item is sold. This may smiply be one of the item (1 box of cereal) by the pound (1 pound of banannas), gaggle (1 gaggle of geese), etc. CATEGORY Develop categories as they are helpful to you.
