Before you start, please read the following information so that you can become familier with the operation of this stack.
1. Order of the cards:
a. "Form Cards" are the cards #1-30.
b. "Information Cards" are the last 4 cards.
2. The buttons
a. Home button - located in the upper right hand corner of each card. When activated, sends the user to the home card.
b. Datebook button - located to the left of the home button in the upper right corner of each card. When activated, sends the user to the date book calendar. You must have the "Datebook" stack in a folder or on disk. If the stack is not named "Datebook", either change the name of the stack or edit the script of the button and change
"Datebook" to the new name of the stack.
c. Clear button - button is located to the left of the Datebook button in the upper right hand corner on the "Form Cards" screens. This button will clear the data from the cards, but will not erase the card. The user may choose from clearing: 1. all the cards; 2. only the card the user is on; or 3; to cancel the procedure.
d. Return button - located in the lower right hand corner of this screen. This button can only be found on the "Information Cards". When the button is activated, sends the user back to the previous card.
e. Stack Size/wasted button - field is located on Card 1, of the "Form Cards", near the lower left hand corner. Displays the stack size and the amount of bytes wasted. To compact the stack, simply click the field "wasted...". Credit to DEVELOPER STACK 1.1
f. Scan button - button is located on all the "Form Cards" near the lower left hand corner of each card. When the Scan button is activated, it will scan all the cards in this stack. You can modify the number of cards scanned by editing the button script and setting the number of cards to be scanned to a desired number.
g. Map button - button is located on all the "Form Cards" in the lower left hand corner of the card to the right of the scan button. The button will send the user to the "Infromation cards" .
g. Time button - field is located on the "Form cards" in the lower left hand corner below the Scan button. Displays the the current time. Click the field and it will display the current date. The date will only be displayed for 2 seconds. Credit to DEVELOPER STACK 1.1
h. Arrow buttons - buttons that are located on the bottom the "Form Cards" react to the direction they point in.
i. All other buttons are self-explanatory. An "Add" button will add numbers in designated fields, "Subtract" will subtract, etc.
3. Helpful hints:
a. While viewing the list of cards in a particular directory of the "Information cards", you can quickly go to a desired card by holding the mouse button down within the field. When a pop up menu appears, select the card number that you want to go to. Credit to DEVELOPER STACK 1.1
b. Start at the first card and continue to the last card. Try not to jump around in the stack. The stack has limited error checking due to the many possibilites of data entries.
If you change an entry, go back and activated all the necessary buttons throughout the stack. Failure to do so will only produce erroneous results.
c. DO NOT ENTER COMMAS OR DOLLAR SIGNS. This will cause an error. Enter only numbers to include the decimal point.
