The Transaction requester allows for the editing of the
 four types of transactions (Checks, Other Debits,
 Deposits, and Other Credits).  You select the type of
 transaction to edit from the Main Screen's Edit Menu.
 For more information, consult the Main Help Screen.

 New transactions can be either added (ADD function) to
 the current checkbook or not entered at all (CANCEL);
 checks can additionally be voided (VOID).  Previously
 entered transactions (chosen by double-clicking on the
 transaction shown in the transaction list on the Main
 Screen) can be either updated (UPDATE), deleted
 (DELETE), or left unaltered (CANCEL); and also voided
 (VOID) if it is a check.  Once a check becomes voided,
 none of its information can be edited.  The only
 functions available for voided checks are DELETE and
 CANCEL.

 If Batch Mode is ON [see the Main Help Screen], selecting
 the ADD option will bring up a new transaction of the
 same type to edit.  To exit Batch Mode editing, select
 CANCEL.  NOTE: This will neither enter the current
 transaction into the checkbook nor toggle Batch Mode to
 its OFF state.

 After entering new or updating entered transactions,
 the running and checkbook balances are automatically
 updated.

   ----------------------------------------------------

 The following lists the string gadgets which hold the
 transaction's description.  Any input requiring a
 certain format will be noted after the description.

       The check number.  This string gadget is only shown
       for checks.

               (MM/DD/YY is equivalent to MM/DD/19YY)

    PAY

       For checks, this is the payee description.  For the
       other types of transactions, this can be a more
       specific description than the default

       can customize it to whatever you want.

       (posting) the transaction.

 The following lists, by menu, the operations possible
 through the Transaction requester along with their
 keyboard equivalents.  All the functions below have
 equivalent gadgets, selected with the mouse.  If you
 forget the keyboard equivalents, each gadget has a black
 underscored letter which is the key to press with the
 RIGHT-AMIGA key.



 FUNCTION                                      SELECTED BY
 --------                                      -----------

 Transaction Menu
 ----------------

    Add/Update                               RIGHT-AMIGA A

       For initial editing (Add), this function includes
       the current transaction into the checkbook as the
       last transaction.  For previously entered
       transactions (Update), this updates its information
       and modifies the checkbook balance to reflect any
       changes to the transaction's amount.

       NOTE: Adding/Updating a transaction which, because
             of the changes made to it makes it a non-
             viewable transaction (as selected by View
             from the Main Screen), will immediately
             remove it from the transaction list.

    Delete                                   RIGHT-AMIGA D

       Removes the current transaction from the checkbook.
       This function is only selected for previously
       entered transactions.

    Void                                     RIGHT-AMIGA V

       Cancels the usage of a transaction.  This function
       is only activated for checks.

    Tax                                      RIGHT-AMIGA T

       Indicates this transaction is either tax deductible
       or used for tax purposes.

    Budget                                   RIGHT-AMIGA B

       For credits, this function designates the amount as
       being reserved for a specific type of expense.
       For debits, the transactions' amount is being
       charged to the selected budget.

    Cancel                                   RIGHT-AMIGA N

       Terminates the current editing session.  If the
       transaction was newly created (selected from the
       Edit Menu of the Main Screen), then this function
       does not place it into the checkbook.  If the
       transaction was previously entered (selected by
       double-clicking on the entry in the transaction
       list of the Main Screen), this function ignores any
       changes made during the current editing session and
       replaces the previous values.
