KSAs 255 wides:
MR = Multiple Record (instead of single record all fields)

These two split screens, are provided to facilitate copying 255 wide
KSAs.

To toggle between the two windows press <F3>. To save and exit, press
<F2>. To quit without saving, press <ESC>. To get to the answer
field, use the <Tab> key.  <Tab> key again returns you to the KSA
field.

While in this window, active keys are PageUp, PageDown, Home, End,
<F6> to key in  up to 255 char's for a search string, then press
<Enter>, this will cause our KSA file to be searched from the top
down to the first existing record it comes to in the file, that has
your search string.  You need to press <Alt Z> to continue searching
the rest of the KSA file for more occurrences of your search string. 
Merely pressing <F6> again will simply start the search from the top
again, & you may think there is only one occurrence of your search
string in the entire file. 

When you do find an appropriate KSA that you want to copy, press 
<F7> to copy the KSA to the other window.

<F8> moves the KSA to the other window, & leaves you in the present 
window for further searching & copying.

Do not press <ESC> unless you want to lose all your changes & add-
itions this session, i.e. (that you have made since you last took 
this EDIT menu option.)  If you press <F2>, the program will save all 
your changes & additions up to this point, & exit to the KSA Menu.      

    KSA_LONGS Personal

The KSA_Longs are 255 characters in length.   They are great for
companies to store KSA's they have placed in various ad's in the
past, then bring back for re-use in a new ad.   Always break up a
long KSA into shorter sub components & store them as 70 wide or
component 255 wide KSA's if possible.   If you write your KSAs in
modules i.e. break them up into sub-components (which are their own
unique KSA's), then greater flexibility in mixing & matching parts of
your KSA, is possible.  This will keep the Standardized KSA file
(that everyone uses down to a manageable size.

To edit a long KSA, cursor down to the KSA field, then press <CTRL F>
for field edit.  Now cursor to the words you wish to delete, or
insertion point.  <HOME> <END> <INS> toggle type-over mode, all work
when in Field Edit mode.  To end field edit mode, press <Enter>.

Some KSA's will only apply  to one specific job (e.g. Air Traffic
Controller).  Other KSAs though in one group, can be used for lots of
different jobs, e.g. Wordperfect could be classified in the COMPU
group, but secretaries managers, writers, even factory workers might
select this KSA for their jobs.  If you are applying for a highly
specialized job like Air Traffic Controller, you might be benefited by
<F6> searching for all the KSAs in the group ATC.  Then claim all
that pertain to you.

To batch add to KSA_L's, use the export & import menu options. take
the export first to get the file layout example.

Then edit the KSA_expL file, to include all the KSAs you wish bearing
in mind the rules for KSA Longs, i.e. They all must start w. the 2
words " I have ", except the continued KSAs which there fore cannot
start w. "I have".  Continued KSAs also must be ID-Num'd in sequence.


KSA Longs Standard.

These are Standardized KSAs (as opposed to your personal KSAs).  
They come from UPSC or the H.R. Dept of the company doing the hiring.
