Most fields on the Entry Panel can be                      
defaulted so you won't have to enter them for              
every new transaction, though they can be                  
changed.                                                   
                                                           
MEGA-Check 2 defaults the fields according to              
the settings on this panel every time you                  
clear the Entry Panel (via @1@Clear Entry                  
Panel@0@ or @2@Add/Update Transaction@0@ underadduptrn.hlp
the @1@Tables@0@ menu).                                    
                                                           
Most of the time, the only fields you'll want              
to default are the Date and Check/Invoice #                
fields.  The Date can be defaulted to the                  
@1@Current@0@ system date or the @1@Highest@0@             
used date in the @2@Transaction Table@0@.trantbl.hlp      
                                                           
The @1@Ck #/Inv #@0@ field can be defaulted                
with the next unused check #.  If you add a                
transaction with a check # other than the next             
unused check #, MEGA-Check 2 will warn you                 
that a check is being entered out of                       
sequence.  That check # will become the                    
@8@new@0@ reference for the next unused check              
#.                                                         
                                                           
Any other field can be defaulted with a                    
constant, but the benefit to doing this is                 
questionable.
