DATA ENTRY PROGRAM - Description of Data Entry Screen (1 of 4)
  
The data entry screen can display the volume and prices for up to 13 trading
periods (days or weeks) at one time.  On the left side of the data entry
screen there will be a pointer that looks like this:  ->  A trading period is
selected (for making changes, etc.) when the pointer is on the same line as
the date of that period.  The pointer can be moved through all of the trading
periods by means of the cursor keys on the right side of the keyboard, as des-
cribed below.  If you press the wrong key, an error message will flash on the
bottom of the screen until you press another correct key.

Down-Arrow: moves the pointer down one line.  If necessary, the display will
      scroll towards the latest (most current) volume and price data.

Up-Arrow: moves the pointer up one line.  If necessary, the display will
      scroll towards the earliest (least current) volume and price data.

Alt-Dn: moves the display 10 lines down towards the latest price data.  There
      is an overlap of 3 lines.  The pointer is placed on the bottom line.

Alt-Up: moves the display 10 lines up towards the earliest price data.  There
      is an overlap of 3 lines.  The pointer is placed on the top line.

        DATA ENTRY PROGRAM - Description of Data Entry Screen (2 of 4)

Alt-Line Feed:  moves the display to the latest price data and places the
      pointer on the most current trading period.

Home: moves the display to the earliest price data and places the pointer on
      the least current trading period.

Typing one of the following letter keys will invoke the corresponding function:

A  = ADD a new trading period date after the latest existing date, and then
     enter volume and prices for this new date.  The new trading period date
     will replace the earliest previously existing date.  The new date is com-
     puted by the program.  If data for this stock is being updated weekly,
     the trading period date will always fall on a Friday.  If data is being
     updated daily, the program will ask if the new date is a holiday.  Week-
     end days are automatically skipped.

     The ADD function works the same way regardless of where the select pointer
     is at the time the A key is typed.  After the data has been entered, the
     screen will show the most current volume and price data, along with newly
     updated moving averages.

	DATA ENTRY PROGRAM - Description of Data Entry Screen (3 of 4)

C  = CHANGE or correct volume and prices for the selected existing trading
     period.  This function is used mainly for initial data entry for a new
     stock that has just been added to the system, or for correcting errors.
     If data has been updated daily, the program will ask if the selected date
     is a holiday.  After any change is made to a closing price, all moving
     averages are automatically re-computed and re-displayed.

D  = apply a stock DIVIDEND or a stock split to all trading periods BEFORE the
     selected trading period.  The program assumes that post-split data has
     already been entered for the selected trading period.  This function will
     automatically adjust volume, prices, earnings, dividends and price goals.

M  = change either or both of the MOVING average periods.  This function will
     automatically perform all necessary computations.  A moving average per-
     iod cannot be greater than the total number of days or weeks for which
     volume and price data is being kept for this stock.  If a moving average
     is not wanted, specify zero.  If both moving averages are wanted, the
     short-term period cannot be greater than the long-term period.  If only
     one moving average is wanted, it is better to specify it as the long-term
     average because it will be shown as a solid line on the bar graph.
