FoneHome and FoneEdit


Using FoneHome:

Double clicking on the FoneHome icon brings up the FoneHome application.  You can enter a 
search in any of the text boxes by clicking you mouse pointer in the box and the cursor will 
appear in the first space of the text box.  You can enter either a partial search, or a full search in 
the text box.  For instance, in the Lastname field if you're looking for Verderber but are not sure 
how to spell it, enter Ver.  Text will automatically be converted to upper case while typing as it is 
not case sensitive.  To find another occurrence of the search click on "Next" or "Previous".  TO 
enter another search, click on reset before doing so.

After you've found the number you want to call clicking on the "Dial" button will bring up the 
DialUp form.  Enter your comport setting, use the Area Code and prefix numbers if needed and 
then click the "Dial" button.  Notice how the "Dial" button caption changes to "Hangup".  Wait for 
the modem to dial the number and start ringing.  Pick up the phone and click the "Hangup" 
button and you should be on the line.

Click the exit menu to return to FoneHome and click reset to clear for another search.



Using FoneEdit

FoneEdit is an application that allows you to edit the FoneHome database.  You can add new 
names and numbers, edit existing ones and delete old ones.

Alway add new names and numbers at the beginning of the database.  Don not worry about 
sorting, both FonHome and FoneEdit sort the database upon the initial loading of the application.

Adding New Entries:

To add a new name and number, click on the "NEW" button, watch how the "NEW" button 
changes to "INSERT."  When you click the "NEW" button a new row will appear at the top of the 
text entry field with the cursor blinking in the Last Name field.  Add the last name, use the tab 
key to move to the next field(s), and add the rest of the data.

When you've finished adding the new record click the "INSERT" button to insert the new record 
in the database and then click the "PACK" button to update the indexes, then click "EXIT"


Editing Existing Entries:

To edit an existing entry scroll through the database using the scroll bars on the right hand side 
of the text entry fields.  Click your mouse on the field you want to edit and edit the field.  Click 
"UPDATE" to update the record in the database, click "PACK" to update the indexes, click "EXIT."

To delete an entry scroll through the database to the record you want, click the mouse in any 
field of the record you want to delete, click the "DELETE" button, to delete it from the database, 
click the "PACK" button to update the indexes, click "EXIT."

After any changes are made to the database please click the "PACK" button or the indexes will 
not be updated resulting in the FoneHome application not picking up the record.

You may have to run SHARE to access the database....consult your DOS command reference.
