The HyperTree II stack has information stored on nearly thirty cards. This will allow you to navigate through the stack to get a feel for the environment. The names should match the names contained in the companion document’s reports. You can jump from card to card, create pedigree trees, or explore the reporting functions.
You can put in information for your real or imaginary family along with the test data cards. I have placed the word “Clobber” in the field reserved for the fourth spouses divorce date for all of the starter cards with fictional names. That will allow a special routine to eliminate them. The routine will unmark all of the cards and then mark the cards that contain “Clobber” in that field. As soon as that is accomplished, the routine deletes all of those marked cards. The routine will not delete the cards you have added unless you place “Clobber” in the target field. If you have not added cards, the routine will leave one blank card to give you a fresh start.
The method used to delete those test data cards when you are in the stack is as follows:
1. Bring up the message window if it is not visible by typing a command-m.
2. When the message window is visible, type “deletetestcards” ( without the quote marks)and press the enter key.
Please read the attached document and the information contained in the help file. This process will allow you to get a running start with this stack.
