@9@Activating Models@0@                        
                                               
There are two ways of activating a model.  One 
is to use the @1@Activate Model...@0@ function 
available under the @1@Models@0@ menu.  The    
other is to select the model you want from the 
Model Panel, on the Main Screen. The Model     
Selector                                       
                                               
@1@The Model Selector                          
                                               
Like all other "selectors" in MEGA-Check 2,    
the Model Selector lets you select models to   
be activated, or bring back model names to     
listable entry fields asking for a model name. 
                                               
This window operates like any standard GEM     
window.  Use the scroll bar to bring the       
desired model into view (they're in            
alphabetical order).  You can filter out model 
types by deselecting the appropriate @1@Show   
types@0@ button at the top.                    
                                               
The @1@Path@0@ button can be used to use an    
entirely different set of models from a        
different path.  The system fileselector will  
appear asking you for the new path.  If the    
file @1@FKEYLIST.DAT@0@ exists in the          
specified path, then the function key slots on 
the Model Panel will be updated.  The last     
model path used will be saved with your data   
file and used the next time that file is       
loaded.                                        
                                               
@1@The Model Panel@0@                          
                                               
The model panel is what allows you to activate 
models with a function key of your choice.  It 
appears at the bottom third of the main screen 
and contains 30 function key variations to     
activate the various models.  To activate a    
model, simply press the appropriate function   
key either by itself, or in combination with   
the @1@Shift@0@ or @1@Control@0@ keys, or      
click on it with the left mouse button.        
                                               
To add or change a function key, right click   
on it.  The @1@Model Selector@0@ appears with  
a list of available models.  Select the one    
you want to appear in that function key slot.  
                                               
When you save your MEGA-Check 2 financial file 
(via the Save function) the models in the      
function key panel are stored in a file called 
@1@FKEYLIST.DAT@0@ in the same directory that  
your models are stored.  That way, if you ever 
change model paths, your Model Panel will      
change accordingly.                            
                                               
The Model Panel isn't the only way to activate 
models.  The @1@Activate Model...@0@ function  
under the @1@Models@0@ menu can also be used.  
This will call the Model Selector panel and    
activate the model you choose.
