 OVERVIEW
 
   The Identification/Registration Log is used to track expenses for
   titles, registration fees, license plate fees, etc. There are also
   fields for describing the vehicle and for recording the purchase
   price.
 
   You can choose to include or not include the purchase price and tax
   in the Cost Per Mile report.
 
   The last identification/registration record that was added will be
   displayed when you enter the ID/REG Log.  Use the TOP, END, BACK
   and FORWARD menu selections to look at different records. TOP takes
   you to the first record and END takes you to the last (current)
   record.
 
 
 ADD
 
   Press the A key to add a new ID/REG record. Enter the date and any
   other information you want to keep track of.  The ID NUMBER:  and
   MOTOR NUMBER:  headings can be changed in the Set Defaults option.
   8 additional lines are available for comments, etc.
 
 
 CHANGE
 
   Use this option to make corrections or to add items that were not
   included when the record was added.
 
 
 DELETE
 
   Use this to remove a record or to recall (activate) a record that
   was deleted. Deleted records and payments will not be included in
   reports. You should normally not need to use this option.
 
   EXAMPLE of when you might use the Delete option:  you added an ID/
     REG record to CAR1 by mistake. It should have been added to
     another vehicle. You can delete the record from CAR1 so that it
     does not show on reports. Then later, when you are ready to add
     a new record to CAR1, instead of using the Add option, you can
     recall the record and Change it.
 
 
 INCLUDE
 
   The Include option lets you toggle (or switch) between including
   the Purchase Price and the Tax in the Cost Per Mile report or ex-
   cluding the Purchase Price and the Tax from the Cost Per Mile re-
   port.
 
   For example, if you took out a loan for the vehicle and are logging
   the payments in the LOAN/LEASE Log, then you should exclude the
   purchase price and tax so that only your loan payments are being
   included in the CPM report.
 
   NOTE: If you sell or trade the vehicle in and enter the date sold
         and amount, then that amount will be subtracted from the pur-
         chase price (in the CPM report) if the date sold falls within
         the report dates and the toggle is set to include the price.
 
 
      The following is also included in the LOAN/LEASE help screens:
     ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
     VEHICLE PURCHASE LOAN - If you paid cash for the vehicle then you
       will not need to create a loan record, however, you will want
       to set the Include toggle to include the purchase price in the
       Identification/Registration log.  If you purchased the vehicle
       with a loan, you will still enter the purchase price in the
       Identification/Registration but you can wait until the loan is
       paid before including the price in the ID/REG category of the
       CPM report.

       Selecting the A combinations will give you a more accurate
       cost breakout per time period. When the loan has been paid
       off, you can switch to the B combination if you wish. The
       category totals will be different, but the total amount will
       be the same since payments should equal the purchase price
       plus the finance charge.
 
 
 PAYMENTS
 
   Press the P key to record your ID/REG payments. Payments are index-
   ed (sorted) by date. This means that your payments can be entered
   out of order and they will automatically be sequenced by the date.
   Additional help is available from the Payment menu.
 
 
 REPORTS
 
   ID/REG reports can be created for any period of time. You can run
   reports for just the displayed record or for all ID/REG records
   (enter Y for Print ALL records).
 
   The default values assume that you want to list all payments and
   all Paid Codes for the displayed record. If you want a report that
   shows only Paid Code A, then blank out (enter a Space) all other
   codes. The FROM and TO dates default to the first and last payment
   dates.
 
   NOTE: Ctrl-End takes you to the last entry, Ctrl-Home takes you to
         the first.
 
   Printing to a file will place this report into a file named IDR.TXT
   which will be created in the Program Directory (VRS90). This option
   will allow you to import this report into a word processing or a
   spreadsheet program if those programs support ASCII files.
 
   EXAMPLE: You want to create a report showing all payments for 1989.
            To do this, change FROM to 01/01/1989 & TO to 12/31/1989.
            Press Ctrl-End to go to the bottom of the screen, then
            press the Up Cursor and change Print ALL records to Y.
            Press the PgDn key.
 
  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * END * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
