Maintenance of the Account Table is performed           
with the @1@Maintain Accounts@0@ option under           
the @1@Tables@0@ menu.  You can also maintain           
your accounts from @8@many@0@ places within             
MEGA-Check 2 because many panels contain an             
"Account" entry field, which is                         
@8@listable@0@.  When you position the cursor           
one of these fields and right click the mouse,          
the "list," (in this case the @1@Account                
Selector@0@), pops up for you to select the             
account you want to enter on that line.  It is          
at this point that you can perform any                  
modifications to your Account Table.                    
                                                        
If you select @1@Maintain Accounts@0@ it will           
read "Maintain Accounts," otherwise it will             
read "Account Selector."  Both are identical,           
because it is the same panel so don't be                
misled the panel title.                                 
                                                        
The @1@Selection@0@ field will contain the              
name that was typed on the field that the               
panel was called from.  If you thought you              
knew the exact name of the account you wanted,          
but MEGA-Check 2 didn't @4@Auto Complete@0@ it          
for you (in which case you would know that you          
typed an account that isn't defined in the              
Account Table), then you could right click on           
that field and this panel will appear with the          
Account name passed to the selection field.             
                                                        
At this point you can attempt to @8@find@0@             
the account by clicking on the @1@Find@0@               
button (or pressing @1@Control+F@0@).                   
MEGA-Check 2 will respond with "Searching..."           
in the window title bar while it searches the           
Account Table.  It will scan each account for           
the string in the Selection field.  If an               
account name contains anywhere the characters           
in the selection line, it will highlight that           
account and display its balance information.            
It will also replace the selection line with            
the account name it found.  If this isn't the           
one you wanted, simply press @2@Undo@0@ tofldedit.hlp  
restore the Selection field back to its                 
previous state and @1@Find@0@ again.  However,          
because searching always starts from the top            
line of the current window position, you must           
move the window down one line, or else it will          
select the same account on the top line                 
again.  If no more occurrences of the search            
string are found, an alert box saying "No               
matches found" will appear.  You can use the            
window scroll bar mechanisms to find the                
account you want.                                       
                                                        
Whenever you click on an account, its name              
appears in the selection field, as well as              
some information about the account.  Under the          
word @2@Balance@0@ is the balance of theaccttbl.hlp    
account, followed by "Db" for a debit balance           
or "Cr" for a credit balance.  Under the word           
@2@Transactions@0@ is a number representingaccttbl.hlp 
the total number of transactions that have              
affected that accounts balance.  This, of               
course, @8@includes@0@ the debits and credits           
to any of the selected accounts children.               
Under the words @2@Lst Activity)@0@ appearsaccttbl.hlp 
the @8@date@0@ of the most recent transaction           
to affect the balance of this account (based            
on the date of the transaction), or any of its          
children.                                               
                                                        
The Account Selector's "tools" @8@always@0@             
act on the account name that is typed in the            
selection field, regardless of which one is             
highlighted.
