[Note: Requires DBLIB and TLLIB from Donnelly's ToolKit.  -jkh-]

Here is my phone book management program.  Remember that it uses two of James
Donnelly's libraries from the Programmers Toolkit.  Below you will find my
attempt at documentation and following that the directory itself.  Hopefully
nobody will have any problems with this but if you do Ill be happy to answer
any questions.  I would also like to here any comments and suggestions.

        Thanks....

To run just hit the softkey labled PHNE.

Since you have a blank PHDAT (which follows the format for the other phone
program) you will be dropped directly into the input routine.  Just follow the
prompts.  One thing to note: the search routine is case sensitive so I enter in
all my text in upper case.  This really isn't a large problem since most of the
screens use the small font in which everything is upper case.

Once you have provided one entry you will be presented with the NAMES list.
(In this case it will contain only one name).  This interface is provided by
the DBLIB and is quite nice.  I'll quickly go thru some of its functions as
they relate to my program.

UP & DOWN arrows
   The up and down arrows scroll you up and down through the list.
   LEFT SHIFT UP and DOWN are page up and page down.
   RIGHT SHIFT UP and DOWN move you to the ends of the list.

VISIT
   For entries that are longer than the display VISIT will display the entire
   entry (as well as expanding newline characters).

EDIT
   Allows you to EDIT an entry.

ALPHA
   The ALPHA key places you in search mode.  This mode allows you to search for
   an entry containing the string you specify.

ON
   ON will exit the program.

OFF
   OFF will shut the calculator off without leaving the DataBrowser.

The menu keys....

SORT
   SORT sorts the list based upon what item is being examined.
   example....
       If you are looking at a list of NAMES and hit sort everything
       gets sorted based on the name field.

The next two keys change depending on what list is being viewed.  They serve to
switch between lists of NAMEs, ADDResses, and PHoNE numbers.

ADD
   ADD allows you to input a new entry.

DEL
   DEL deletes the current entry.

QUIT
   QUIT quits PBK.  (leaving the stack unchanged) (I hope  :) :) )

The ENTER key switches to a DETAIL MODE.  (for lack of a better name.)

In DETAIL MODE you are presented with one record at a time.  The
databrowser keys work as described as above.

LIST
   LIST returns you to the main list (NAME,ADDR,PHNE) depending where the
   DataBrowser pointer is.

NEXT and PREV
   NEXT and PREV scroll through the records one at a time.

ADD, DEL, and QUIT function as described as above.
The ENTER key functions just like the LIST option in the MENU.
