The Description List function lets you edit descriptions
to be used in the PAY/DESC and MEMO input fields of the
Transaction Requester. Selecting an entry in this list
places the description in either the PAY/DESC input
field or MEMO field (depending on the current location
of the cursor).
----------------------------------------------------
The following list describes the functions available in
the Description List Requester. The order of these
functions corresponds to the order they appear in the
requester's menu bar. You can select any function using
either the keyboard (shown as "Keyboard:") or mouse
("Mouse:").
Description Menu
Okay
Accept the current values as the Description List
for the current checkbook.
Double-clicking on a Description List entry is
equivalent to highlighting it and selecting "Okay".
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA Y
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
Add
Activate the description input field for you to
define a new description. Once you press the
RETURN key, the description will be entered into
the Description List in alphabetical order.
Duplicate and blank descriptions are not allowed
and will not be entered into the Description List.
Once a description has been added to the list, it
cannot be edited, although it can be deleted and
added again.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA A
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
Delete
Remove the highlighted description from the current
Description List. A description must be
highlighted for this function to work.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA D
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
Cancel
Terminate the current editing session of the
Description List. Changes, such as those from the
Load, Save, Add, Delete, and Clear functions will
be preserved, unlike other Cancel functions which
restore the previous values.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA N
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
List Menu
Load
Retrieve from disk a specified Description List as
the current description list. A file requester
will be displayed for the selection of the
Description List to retrieve. Files with an
extension of ".CAd" (signifying a Checkbook
Accountant description file) will be displayed.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA L
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
Save
Store to disk the current Description List under
the selected file name. A file requester will be
displayed for the selection of a file name. If the
Description List was previously saved, its current
file name will appear in the File input field of
the file requester. If the Description List file
currently exists, the program will ask if the
Description List on disk should be replaced with
the current Description List version. The current
Description List will be saved with a ".CAd"
extension (signifying a Checkbook Accountant
description file).
An icon file will be created to accompany the
description file if the Icon Creation Description
List option in the Program Prefs Requester is
selected.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA S
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
Default
Save the current Description List as the default
Description List. This is the same default
Description List which can be loaded immediately
after the definition of a new checkbook. The
Description List is saved under the file name
"CAdefault.CAd" in the CA: defined directory.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA F
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
Clear
Remove all the entries in the current Description
List. The file name of the Description List does
not change.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA E
