 The "Rem" function allows you to remove the key you are currently pointing
 at without removing the underlying text record.  You may not remove the
 key if it is the only key for that record.

 If you are working with a working set as opposed to the entire index, then
 the remove function will only remove the record from the working set, but
 will not update the index of the NoteBase on disk.

 The New function allows you to add a new key which will point to the
 same text as the key you are currently pointing at.  This function will
 work only for free-form NoteBases, and not for template NoteBases.

 The Find operation can search only the keys of the records in the NoteBase
 or it can search all of the text records too.  A key search will be very
 fast because it operates entirely in memory.  A text search will be slower
 because it must read each record from disk and examine it.  Although a key
 search is faster, a text search may be necessary if the information you are
 trying to select is not contained in the key.
╞ân¬
 The "List" function will send a list to your printer of only the keys of the
 records in the working set.  If no records have been selected for the
 working set, then all keys will be listed.

 The "De-Install" option allows you to remove most (or
 all) of HomeBase from memory.  This comes in handy when
 you run very large programs that compete with  HomeBase
 for RAM memory.

 When you're ready to re-install HomeBase, just type
 HOMEBASE at a DOS prompt (i.e. C:>.)

 The "View" feature of HomeBase allows you to look at, or even edit text
 files. If the file you wish to view was created using WordStar, you should
 select "Options" once you've hit "View", and then choose the WordStar option
 so that you won't have to wade your way through some very strange characters
 that would otherwise appear on your screen.

 The NoteBase portion of HomeBase allows you to decide whether or not you
 want duplicate keys within a NoteBase.  The default condition is that
 duplicates are NOT allowed.  You may change this by toggling the "Dup

      See the manual for an explanation of why you would want duplicate
      keys.

 The "SortBy" function gives you a very easy means of sorting the files in
 the current window.  You can sort by filename, extension, size, date and
 time of creation, or by nothing (i.e., leave them in the order DOS put
 them).  The SortBy feature does not update the order of the files on disk.
 It only sorts them in  memory.
%∙ç╠ó
 DOS Services is a powerful means of managing your files and space. Using DOS
 Services, you may open up to four different windows into the various disk
 drives and subdirectories on your system.  Each window will show up to 13
 files and directories sorted in any order you specify.  You may move the
 windows up or down to show the entire contents of the subdirectory. You may
 use the big <+> key on the right side of the keyboard to expand the window
 and show all of the file attributes.  Pressing the <+> key again will give
 you the condensed display again.

 Using DOS Services, you can erase files, move or copy them between two
 windows, rename files or directories, create and remove directories, view
 files and even edit ASCII files!
╩çGv
 Each record in a NoteBase must be given at least one key.  Records may have
 more than one key. New keys can be added to any record at any time, and
 existing keys can be updated at any time.  Extra keys can even be removed,
 as long as at least one remains.

 Each key may be up to 40 characters long, and may consist of any characters,
 (letters, numbers, punctuation, etc.).  Duplicate keys are not allowed
 unless you have set the duplicate keys flag on (see the HomeBase main menu
 options).

 Once you have entered the information for a key and hit <Return>, you will
 be immediately prompted for another key. If you wish to limit your record to
 one key, then just hit an Esc at this point.

 HomeBase allows you to copy a DOS file into a NoteBase.  This enables you
 to keep many small DOS files in a single NoteBase, where they can easily
 be searched, printed, review and edited.  To copy a DOS file into a
 NoteBase, you use the "Import" function.  Just type "I" or press <enter>,
 and you will be propmted for the name of the file you wish to import.
 You must enter the entire file name (including its device and path name).
 You may specify "wild cards" in the name; i.e. names that contain "*" and
 "?".  See the DOS manual for a more complete description of file names.

╔ä
 The "Find" operation allows you to locate records in the NoteBase which
 contain text strings that match a string that you enter.  You may search
 for any string up to 40 characters long.  The search pays no attention to
 case: that is, the string "abc" will match the string "ABC", and both will
 match "Abc" and "aBc".
!╨ô
oà
 The Find operation will search the entire index of the NoteBase and save
 those records which match in what we call the "working set".  A subsequent
 Find operation can be restricted to searching just the working set or it
 can also search the entire NoteBase index.  If you restrict the subsequent
 search to the working set, you will select and save in the working set only
 those records which match the first search string AND match the second
 search string.  If, on the subsequent search, you search the whole NoteBase
 index, the working set will contain those records which matched the first
 search OR matched the second search.  Using this technique, you can create
 complex searches very easily.
#╠ô
±à
 The Find operation can select and place into the working set either those
 records which match the search string, or those records which do not match
 (i.e., they do not contain) the search string.

 The Directories menu gives you access to several functions relating to the
 management of directories and your movement through them.  The Make and
 Remove functions correspond to the DOS MKDIR (MD) and RMDIR (RD) commands

 The SortBy feature allows you to review the files in a directory in file
 name order, by extension, size, in order of creation or last update
 (oldest first), or in the sequence by which DOS stores them in the disk
 directory.

 File name sequence is useful when you are searching for a file but don't
 know its extension, or when you want to see all files with the same name
 but different extensions grouped together.

 Extension is perhaps the most useful ordering because you can easily spot
 all files of a particular type such as all ".BAK" files.

 Size order is most useful when you are out of disk space and are looking
 for large files to delete.

 Time sequence is used to locate very old or newly updated files.

 DOS order is used mainly by programmers.

 The Set function tells DOS to change its current drive and directory to the
 active directory (that is, the one you are looking at).  Any program that
 is running in the foreground (such as WordStar) will be affected by this
 change and will default to the new drive and directory.

 The Print function allows you get a printed copy of all or certain portions
 of your calendar.  The print operation can select all events between two
 dates in either a single calendar or in all calendars.  The print function
 can also print just those records you have selected with the Find function.

 In order to use the print function, you must have a printer connected to
 the computer and it must be turned on and properly loaded with paper and
 a ribbon.  Then, just select Print, and you will be prompted through.

 The Calendar has a to-do list associated with each day.  If you are like
 most people, you will find that some things on your to-do list don't always
 get done on the day they were originally scheduled.  HomeBase deals with
 this "problem" by allowing you to roll  old to-do lists into the current
 to-do list.

 To roll previous to-do lists forward, just select the "Roll" feature from
 the top horizontal menu of the calendar, and you'll be prompted through.

 The SortBy Pattern command allows you to restrict the files which appear in
 the directory to just those matching the pattern you specify. A pattern is
 made by replacing letters in a normal file name with question marks or an
 asterisk.  An asterisk will match any string of characters, while a "?" will
 only match a single letter.

 For example, the pattern *.BAK will match any file with an extension of BAK.
 The pattern MEMO*.DOC will match any file which has a name begining with
 MEMO and ending in .DOC.   The pattern MEMO??85.DOC will match any file
 begining in MEMO, containing any characters in the next two places of the
 file name, and ending in 85.DOC.

 Be sure to reset to the default pattern if you want to see all files in the
 directory.  The default pattern is *.*.

 Using the Options sub-menu, you may select the format HomeBase should use
 to display a file.  You have two choices:

      1) Normal format will display each character exactly as it is in the
         file.  Tab characters will be expanded correctly, and <CR> and <LF>
         characters will generate carriage returns and line feeds, but all
         other characters will be displayed without modification.

      2) WordStar (and some other editors) store files in an encrypted form.
         Characters in normal ASCII files will use only the first seven bits
         in an eight bit byte, but WordStar files frequently use the eighth
         bit.  Displaying these files in the "Normal" format will make them
         by and large unreadable.  The WordStar format turns the eighth bit
         off, so that they are more readable.

Cúäq
 If the file you are pointing to is an ASCII file and if it is not too big
 to fit in available memory, then you can edit the file simply by pressing
 the "E" key from within the View sub-menu.  DOS Services will read the file
 into memory and put you at the begining of the file in the Editor window.

 The editor is the same one used in the NoteBases, the on-line Editor
 and in the Calendar's "To Do" list.

 The Transmit and Receive functions allow you to transfer  files using
 X Modem Protocol file transfer. This type of transfer moves a block of
 characters at a time, then waits until the other computer replies that the
 block has been received intact.

 This type of error checking is extremely important when you are sending or
 receiving binary (program) files. It is therefore necessary to use XModem
 Protocol file transfer whenever you are moving this type of file. In
 addition, it is often a good idea to use this method when transmitting text
 files, as well, since integrity is guarded by this method.

 The IBM PC can support several Asynchronous Serial Communications Ports.
 Usually, there are two, but the DOS operating system makes provisions
 for up to four ports.  HomeBase will determine how many ports exist on your
 system and support up to four different ports (but only one at a time).

 If you have more than one port, you must tell HomeBase which port to use.
 The default is port 1. If you set a port, and nothing seems to happen when
 you try to use Quickterm, try a different port number.

 of the file you wish to send. As soon as you have entered the file name,
 Quick Term will begin sending it.

 "Send" is used strictly for ASCII file transfers with very limited error
 checking. If you wish to send program files, or simply more surely insure
 your transmitted file's integrity, you should use the Xfer option for XModem
 protocol file transfer (file checking using the X Modem type of error
 checking).

 The Data Format option is used to control how many bits of data are included
 in each character sent between computers.  If you are sending only ASCII
 data, then there is one bit in each character that will always be unused.
 Some computers choose to use this bit to provide a limited form of checking
 to see that each byte is transmitted correctly.  This form of checking is
 called Parity.

 Parity checking can take three forms: even parity with seven data bits,
 odd parity with seven data bits, or no parity with eight data bits.  Since
 most computer systems use eight data bits with no parity, this is the
 default value used by HomeBase.

 HomeBase automatically loads the indexes for all the notebases (files
 ending in .NBD) it finds in either the directory in which HB.EXE is
 contained, or in the directory you've specified using HBPATH. Any NoteBases
 not contained in these designated areas will not automatically be loaded.
 Additionally, if you create a templated notebase, using the template maker,

 When a file is imported, its key name will be its file name.  You may keep
 this name and add another name for this record (see the New function), or
 you may update this key name to a more meaningful name (see Upd).

 CAUTION: The NoteBase cannot easily tell whether the file you are importing
 is an Ascii or a binary (program) file.  The NoteBase is not intended to
 store binary files, and you should not attempt to import them.

 The Transfer feature allows you to move or copy files from one directory to
 another.  The Source and Destination functions are used to identify which
 directory the files are being moved or copied from and to.  There must be
 both a source and a destination directory before any files can be moved or
 copied, and there can be only one source and one destination directory.

 The Exchange function will swap the source and destination directories.

 If there are no files marked in the source directory, then the Move and
 Copy functions will move the highlighted file in the source directory to
 the destination directory.  If there are any marked files in the source
 directory, then all marked files will be moved or copied.

 You may interrupt the move or copy operation at any time by pressing <esc>.

 If you use the Send function to transmit one of these files, each line will
 overprint the previous line on your screen.  The Linefeeds option will tell
 QuickTerm to display a linefeed (jump down to the next line) whenever it
 sees and displays a carriage  return.  The linefeed is not transmitted to
 the other computer.

 The Mark function allows you to flag certain files for copying, moving
 or erasing.  There are several functions in the Mark menu which make it
 easy to set marks on or off for a large number of files.

 The "Mark All" function will, as its name implies, mark all files in a
 directory.  Similarily, the "Unmark All" function will unmark all files.

 The "Toggle All" function will turn the mark on for all files that are not
 currently marked, and off for all files that are currently marked. The
 Toggle function is useful to select all but certain files, and can be used
 together with the Mark Pattern function which allows you to mark all files
 which match a certain pattern.  For example, you could use the Mark Pattern
 function to select all files matching the pattern "MEMO*.FEB", and then the
 Toggle function to select all files except those matching that pattern.

 The "Pattern" option allows you to mark all files of a particular pattern,
 using the DOS "wildcard" rules. Thus, choosing the pattern *.nbd will mark
 all the files with the extension, .NBD.
H÷äóÉ
 The Speed function allows you to communicate with various types of
 computers using either phone lines or direct connect.  Most phone lines can
 handle speeds of up to 1200 Baud (approximately 120 characters per second),
 although many modems (the hardware which connects the computer to the phone
 line) can support speeds of only 300 Baud (about 30 cps).  Some newer modems
 can run at 2400 Baud (240 cps), while a direct connection between computers
 can run as high as 9600 Baud.

 Use the Speed menu to select the speed to use when communicating with the
 particular computer you want to connect to.  Please NOTE: it is important
 that both computers use the same speed.  If one is running at 1200 Baud
 while the other is running at 300 Baud, you will get the same results as
 playing a record at 78 rpm while trying to listen at 33 rpm. It won't work!

 Most modems use either 300 Baud or 1200 Baud.  The speed to use for direct
 connections is entirely dependent on the system involved.
IDä∞É
 Quick-Term can run in either Call or Answer mode.  If you are calling the
 other computer, you should be in Call mode; conversely, if you are receiving
 a call from another computer, you should be in Answer mode.

 In Call mode, the characters you type are sent to the other computer, but
 they are not echoed on your screen.  The characters you see on your screen
 are actually sent by the other computer!  This is the way you can tell that
 the other computer is actually listening to you.  If, when you type, you
 don't see anything, there is a good possibility that the other computer is
 not working.

 In answer mode, every character you type is immediately displayed on your
 screen.  Every character received on the line is both displayed on your
 screen and echoed back onto the outgoing line so that it will display on
 the screen of the other computer.  This way, you know the other computer is
 running because it called you and you see what it sends, and the computer
 on the other end knows your computer is running because it can see what is
 being typed.
2äñÆ
 The "Terminal" function of Quick-Term allows you to send and receive data
 over a phone line or over a direct connect line to another computer.

 Before entering the terminal mode, set any necessary options, open a
 capture file (if necessary), then enter terminal mode.  Once you are in
 terminal mode, you may use any HomeBase "hot-key" to go to another task.
 Do not use the <esc> key to exit from the terminal unless you want the
 terminal to stop running. If you wish to remain on-line while you use
 another HomeBase feature, or even run another program, exit the terminal
 using Alt Shift Esc. When you're ready to actively re-enter the terminal,
 just hit Alt Shift Q and you'll jump back into the terminal right back where
 you left off.....online.

 The Find operation of the Calendar allows you to search any calendar for
 a particular text string such as "lunch" or "critical".  The search will
 examine each appointment you have made and all to-do lists.

 The indexes for the day or days that contain whatever you were looking
 for, will appear in an index window that will appear on your screen. You can
 select the day you wish to view by pointing to it with the highlighting
 cursor bar and choosing "Select" from the horizontal menu.

 You may use several find operations to locate a group of appointments or
 records, and then request a print of all of those records.

 The Attention command allows you to choose the key you use to return to
 QuickTerm's main menu from the terminal mode.  The default attention key is
 the <ESC> (escape) key, but some computer systems you connect to may need
 you to be able to enter an escape.  Selecting a new attention key (such as
 F2) will let you use the <ESC> key while in terminal mode.

 QuickTerm will not let you pick any of the white keys in the middle of the
 keyboard as attention keys.

 The Autodialer menu lets you quickly set the communications parameters and
 connect to another computer.  You can have many configurations on file, each
 under its own name.
\ç╩⌐091 C Week DisplayUç│⌐090 C Day Display7Yçÿª
 When you select "Options" choice on the main Quickterm menu, you will be
 taken to a sub-menu that will allow you to set up specific information
 regarding the way in which you need your terminal to operate for the
 specific communication. For more information on the choices available at
 this level, select options, and then look at the specific help files for
 each option.

 Once you have set the particular options for a particular communication, you
 can save the configuration using the "Write" function on the main Quickterm
 menu. The next time you wish to call that number, you only have to choose
 the name you've given it on the index, and the specific configuration will
 be automatically set up for you.

 There is an additional set of options you can set. These are to be found by
 selecting "Config" on the "Options" menu.
LçòÑ067 Q Lfeed`¬ç£i
 The Autodial menu choice takes you to the Terminal Autodialer. This
 autodialer will allow you to call another computer by simply pointing out
 it's name on an index. All the information for this communication will have
 been pre-configured and saved using the Options, Config and Write commands.
 See the help information available once you've chosen Autodialer and moved
 to its menu for more complete information.
e²ç8o
 The Autodialer "Write" function saves the current configuration under the
 name you have specified.  You must have a name and a phone number for the
 write function to work.

 After you have written the configuration, you may select or load it.
aδç²l
 The Rows and Columns menu choices allow you to change the size of the screen
 available to you while using QuickTerm.  The default screen size is 24 rows
 by 80 columns.

 To change size, select Rows or Columns and type in the  appropriate numbers
 as prompted.

 The benefit of a larger screen is that you can scroll back to see lines that
 have disappeared off the top of the physical screen. To set your machine up
 this way you could, for example, set the number of rows at 75. Then, once
 you're online and some lines have scrolled off the top of your screen, try
 using the arrow keys and the PgUp and PgDn keys to scroll up and down.

 You may grow or shrink this size as you see fit, up to a  total of 255 rows
 or columns.  The only restriction on the size of the  screen is the amount
 of buffer space you give to HBVSI. Large screens tend to eat a lot of
 memory, so you may have to raise the number found after HBVSI in your
 autoexec.bat 10K or so to allow for this.

 The "Find" operation gives you the means to search a NoteBase for a record
 or set of records which match a particular selection criteria. There
 are four pieces of information you must provide to make the "Find" operation
 work:

	1) a text string to be searched for (up to 40 characters)
	2) the search area - you may search the entire NoteBase, or if you
	   have already performed at least one "Find" operation, then you
	   may limit the search to just those records you have already
	   selected. These records are called the "working set".
	3) the search type - you may search only the keys of the records
	   in the search area, or you may search the entire text of these
	   records.
	4) selection instructions - you may have the search select only
	   those records which match the specified search string, or you
	   may tell HomeBase to select only those records which do NOT match
	   the search string.
ç╞u
 HomeBase will automatically create a DOS file name for you unless you fill
 in this field. It will use up to the first eight letters of the name
 of the NoteBase to construct a DOS file name.  You may over-ride this  by
 typing in a particular DOS file name. (the name under which it is actually
 stored on disk)

 The file will be created in the subdirectory that you were in when you
 started HomeBase. If you want to move the NoteBase file to another disk
 drive or to another subdirectory, first remove it (see the "Remove" function
 on the NoteBase main menu), then use DOS services to move the file, and
 then add it using the "Add" function from the main NoteBase menu.

 NOTE: When you add it, you must specify the FILE name, not the NoteBase
 name (if they are different).

 The HomeBase calculator has four windows.  The bottom window is the command
 input window; the smallest window is the total value window and is similar
 in function to the total window on most hand-help calculators.  The long
 window on the right is the tape window and shows the values resulting from
 the last few calculations.  The box window on the left shows the values of
 the 26 variables named A through Z.

 The calculator recognizes commands and expressions.  These may be separated
 by commas.
   ADD - enter adding mode		CALC - enter calculator mode
   CLR - clear total			CLR ALL - clear registers
   PRINT ON - copy tape to printer	PRINT OFF - turn printer off

 The "Select" function is the means by which you pick a particular choice
 from a list of possibilities.  When this screen disappears, you will see
 a box containing the following choices:

           Calculator   (=)   <- press Alt/Shift/= to select directly
           Calendar     (C)   <- press Alt/Shift/C to select directly
           DOS Services (D)   <- press Alt/Shift/D to select directly

           Cut          (K)   <- press Alt/Shift/K to select directly

 By using the up and down arrow, you can position the horizontal bar to
 the choice you want, and then press "S" or just the <enter> key to select
 that choice.

 You are currently in the DOS Services portion of HomeBase and the active
 window points to a directory.  The window with the double lined box around
 it is the "active" window. Using the up and down arrow keys and the Home,
 End, Pgup and Pgdn keys, you can move the cursor bar up and down in this
 window.  The space bar will mark the file you are currently pointing to,
 or unmark it if it is already marked.

 The window across the bottom of the screen tells you about the currently
 active drive and subdirectory.  It shows you the Volume name, the amount
 of unused space on this volume, the number of bytes used by all files in
 this directory, the name of this directory, how the directory is sorted,
 how many files are in this directory, and how many files have been marked.

B╔ç╪ñ
 The Display function will open the text file you are pointing to and
 display it on the screen. This function is used strictly for looking at text
 files. If you wish to be able to edit a file while you are viewing it, then
 you should choose the "Edit" rather than the "Display" function.

 When you are displaying a file, you may move through the file a line at a
 time by pressing the up or down arrow keys, or a page at a time by pressing
 the Pgup or PgDn keys.  Down takes you toward the end of the file, while up
 takes you toward the begining or top of the file.

 The Home key moves you immediately to the begining of the file, and the End
 key will take you to the end of the file.  Warning: pressing the End key
 requires DOS Services to search for the end of the file.  It must read the
 entire file, one line or row at a time, so this could take some time in a
 large file.  To abort the search for end of file, just press the <esc> key.
3áç╔Ñ You may retain a copy of everything that is being received by your computer
 by opening a  capture file. This will then automatically save everything
 that comes in until you either logoff or hit Esc and then choose Capture
 again from the horizontal menu. Once you have closed a capture file, you
 may use the edit or display features of DOS Services to examine the file,
 or you may import it to a NoteBase.

 To open a capture file while you are online, hit Esc and then choose Capture
 from the horizontal menu. You will be prompted for a filename, and once
 you've replied, you'll be back where you left off, online.

 If you have a capture file opened and you have "hot-keyed" to another task,
 Quick-Term will automatically answer the phone whenever it rings, and will
 insert a time stamp into the capture file once it has answered the call.

 To set your computer up for background automatic file reception (background
 electronic mail, simply set up a capture file and then hit Alt Shift Esc.
 You'll be able to run other programs, and your computer will autoanswer the
 phone and save files for you. Watch for the window that opens when this
 happens!
5≤çkª The Xfer option allows you to send and receive files using X Modem protocol
 file transfer. This type of transfer moves a block of characters at a time,
 then waits until the other computer replies that the block has been reveived
 intact.

 This type of error checking is extremely important when you are sending or
 receiving binary (program) files. It is therefore necessary to use X Modem
 whenever you are moving this type of file. In addition it is often a good
 idea to use this method when transmitting text files, since integrity is
 more reasonably assured by this method than by straight ASCII file transfer.
 (The "Send" function on the main terminal menu, and "Capture"on the same
 menu.

 To use Xfer, just select this function, and you will then be given a choice
 of X Modem protocol "Transmit" or "Receive". Choose whichever you need, and
 you'll be prompted on through.

 TO USE X MODEM FILE TRANSFER, THE COMPUTER YOU'RE COMMUNICATING WITH MUST
 ALSO BE USING XMODEM!!!!!
1/ç&º
 Using Quick-Term, you can connect to other computers, capture what you see
 on your screen to a disk file and send text to another computer just as if
 you were typing it. You can also transmit and receive files using either
 straight text file transfer, or employing error checking with X Modem
 protocol file transfer.

 Quick-Term can also run in the background while you are running another
 program in the foreground or while you are running other HomeBase
 activities. Since Quick-Term can act as either the calling or the answering
 computer, you can even use Quick-Term to send and receive electronic mail
 messages.

 To configure Quick-Term to automatically receive mail, just set your mode to
 "answer", open a capture file, and hit Alt Shift Esc to exit! When
 your computer auto-answers the phone, a window will open on your screen to
 let you know. You can hotkey back into Quickterm to watch your file arrive,
 or ignore it and keep on working in your other software while the file
 automatically arrives and is saved to disk for you.

 The calendar includes two parts: your daily appointment schedule, and your
 daily to-do list. Use the Tab key to move from one to the other.

 The appointment slots will automatically expand to allow you to type in as
 much information as needed...just keep typing, and you'll see what we mean.
 To move into a new appointment slot, use the up and down arrow keys.

 To set an exact time for an appointment, press the big plus (+) key on the
 right side of your keyboard. You must put either a (for am) or p (for pm)
 after the time you define.  You may delete any user-defined time with the
 big minus (-) key (the one just beneath the Scroll Lock key).

 To record expenses, use the right arrow key to move into the expense field,
 and the left arrow key to move back out. You must have information recorded
 in the adjacent appointment slot in order to enter expenses.

 To set an alarm, hit Alt A while you are within the appropriate appointment.
 To cancel an alarm, hit Alt C.
jLç▒¬
 The "Unload" option allows you to control whether NoteBases are
 automatically unloaded when you select another NoteBase or whether you must
 issue the Unload command to reclaim the memory used by a NoteBase. The
 default setting will automatically unload all loaded NoteBases whenever a
 new NoteBase is selected.

 When a NoteBase is selected, its index is read into memory. Since HomeBase
 has only a certain amount of memory available to it, having several
 NoteBases loaded at the same time could use up all of available memory.

 The amount of memory used by the NoteBase is shown on the NoteBase Index
 window, but this figure is not completely accurate. Since each memory
 allocation takes some overhead, the actual amount of memory used to keep a
 NoteBase in memory will be a little more than is shown on the screen.
