          ===== Text entry available to you in the program. =====

Two  types  of text entry are available to you in the  program:   memos  and 
comments .  For a general discussion of the memos and the Memo Options Menu, 
see these appendices in 'PROGRAM.REF', Other Options Menu, selection 8.


   Overview of Memo Options:                                      
     Every client and activity record has its own word processor!
        Client Memo............................................Appendix K-I
        Activity Memos........................................Appendix  K-II
        Quick Memo [TM].......................................Appendix K-III
        Establish system-wide values for Quick Memo [TM].......Appendix K-IV



                 Types of comments: fixed versus variable

As an example of a fixed comment, observe the first comment available to you 
in  every activity record.   It contains 200 characters and is preceded with 
this title:

                                'Comments'

To learn how a variable comment works, observe this phrase immediately below 
'Comments' in each activity record:


                           'Other Comments:'


As you enter text in the 'Other Comments' field, the program will save every 
single line that you type.   As with any word processor,  you can press  the 
'Enter' key as many times as you wish,  then use the 'Up' arrow to return to 
that line where you left off. 

Once the program senses that you are typing into  'Other Comments:', it then 
displays this information:

       ------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        |
           Press <Ctrl>+<W> to save changes or <ESC> to discard.        |
                   Current position is line 1, column 0                 |
                                                                        |
       ------------------------------------------------------------------


          ===== Text entry available to you in the program. =====
                                [continued]

  
To  apply any search criteria against the Other Comments,  go to the  Search 
Through Data Menu, then read the Help screen for options 5 and 6.

If  you  invoke  Flash Report [TM] while in the client  file,  you  will  be 
displayed    any  Memos  or  Other  Comments  behind  the  activity  records 
associated with that client.

You  can  also  observe  the Other  Comments  while  making  callbacks.   To 
understand  this process,  go to the Callback Options menu.   Read the  Help 
screen for option 4, an excerpt of which is below:



                               ==============
                               |  OPTION 4: |
                               ==============

                      "4)  Display of Other Comments"

By pressing Option 4 repeatedly, you have three selections to choose from:


                     "[Other Comments disabled      ]"

                     "[Prompt for Other Comments    ]"

                     "[Always display Other Comments]"


Selection  1 will disable the appearance of the Other Comments in options 1 
and  2  of this Callback Menu.   Selection 2 will prompt you for  a  single 
character to display the Other Comments but defaults to a 'False' state and 
will  not require you to accept it.   Selection 3 will always  display  the 
Other Comments for any one person in the Callback process.
