example the first year dispayed is 1948, if you were looking for
1989 you would type in at the cursor 1989. The search bar will
move to the first 1989 in the group. Then you may use the arrow
keys to move up or down. ( use the back space key to delete any
mistakes in search parameter.) see ## for more Details.
Please note: The speed at which your search takes place does
depend on the speed of your computer.********************
Once you have found the year you are looking for you may Press
Enter to change that record. When you press Enter you will get
the Update cards Screen. When Updating cards or Inserting new
cards be sure to fill out the fields according to this method
otherwise your cards will not sort correctly. Method Below.
Year of card: Enter the year with 4 digits.... 1989
Number of card: If the number of the card is 1 or 39 (as an
example) you would enter the nummber like this
001 or 039 you must use the zeros to allow the
program to sort correctly.

## One more note on the search feature. When you enter a letter
or other character, each one you enter helps to locate your
player. The best way to see this is picking Display card by
players last name. You will note that the sample data will be
displayed by alphabetical order. Now with the Flashing cursor
above the Name Aaron enter the letter C , you will see that
the first name found is Canseco. Now each additional letter you

turn it back on again. This will clear any Stray codes left from

Selection you Choose from the Menu. Be sure you have enough
paper to print the entire report or turn your printer off when
it prints the section you need.
