1:0 GENERAL PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Quick-Payment is designed to quickly calculate loan payments, prequalifying
information, and loan amortization schedules. Quick-Payment calculates five payments on
five different loan programs simultaneously using loan payment comparison sets. This
allows you to compare an unlimited number of loan payments and loan programs by entering
the desired loan amount.
The prequalify portion of the program is designed to be equally easy to use, selecting
a loan amount and the type of loan program desired, a qualifying amount can be determined
in a few seconds. If entered from the payment calculator, the calculator's loan amount is
used. Any of the parameters used to calculate the qualifying information can be changed
and the worksheet will automatically adjust. You can select another loan program and the
same borrower information will be used to qualify under the new loan program.
The loan amortizer displays and prints full or partial loan amortization schedules. It
calculates interest rate buydowns, escrows for temporary buydowns, calculates the effects
of principal reduction payments, and compares interest repayment amounts.
Throughout the program HELP is available by pressing the F1 Key or selecting HELP from
the menu. The bottom line of each screen displays a short description of what action is
required or what Keys to use. TIPs are available for labels ending in a semicolon{;},
when the cursor is over an area with tips the cursor will change to a cross{+}, waiting
for the specified delay will display a Tip. To set the delay, select Program Registration
from the Files Menu on the main screen.
Documentation is on line with text search capabilities, drag and drop a line from the
index to the Print or Find Button to goto or print a section of the documentation. There
is also a Glossary of many mortgage terms, the items in the Glossary may be Added, Edited,
or Deleted, the Glossary is a handy reference storage for information you are frequently
looking up. The Online Documentation and Glossary windows may be minimized to be handy
throughout the program, and multiple copies may be run simultaneously.
