Filer
Other Functions
Use the Call function to dial the telephone number on which the
marker is currently positioned. To use the Call function, you must
have your computer properly connected to an automatic dialing
modem.
The function, Pack, on the Form screen is used to improve the
efficiency level of a file.
If
you change the form or frequently
add or delete records, the amount of wasted space in the file (and
on diskette) increases which, in turn, decreases the efficiency
of the file. At the top of the Form screen you see

A.
If
your efficiency level has declined from
A to C or D, use Pack to “clean up” the file and compress the
data as compactly as possible.
Use Select (on the original Filer screen after records have been
added) to define the data you want to put into
a
text file via the
Copy buffer. Use Copy
to
specify which Text file you want to
copy
To.
To merge the records
F

another Filer file with the current
file, use the Merge function. The format of the other file must
exactly match that of the current file.
If
both the label and data
fields are set up in the same manner, the records from the other
file will be added to and properly sorted in the current file.
Use the Delete function to delete the entire record currently
displayed.
