In tutorial 1, you examined the 3 records that come in the Master File
as Test Data.  They are for trucks with these license numbers:
STW366, UTR399, WRX332.
SERVICE PLUS [TM] relates activities to master records.  In this case,
those activities are service calls being related to trucks.  But you
could just as easily relate maintenance and service to hotel rooms,
where each room received one master record; or plumbing activities
to mechanics.  The possibilities are endless!  The phrase 'Service
Call' that appears in the activity file can be changed to anything
you want back at the custom options menu.
The Test Data contains 21 activities related to those 3 trucks.
We will now look at a few of those records.
