T/MonXM 4.7 User Manual

Section Four - T/MonXM Interface

In most cases you are first asked to enter an ID field, name, or

value. The T/MonXM database management system will then

determine whether that ID has been defined previously. If the ID is

not found in the database, you will be asked whether you would like

to add it. If you don’t add it, then the ID and data for the next

alphanumeric entry is displayed.

If the ID is found in the database, then the T/MonXM will retrieve

the other data associated with the ID and display it on the screen.

The following menu of commands will then appear at the bottom of

the current window:

F)ind, E)dit, D)elete, N)ext, P)rev, Q)uit

These commands are defined as follows:

Delete

Deletes the current entry. (The current entry is the one that is dis-

played on the screen).

Edit

Allows the user to make changes to the current entry.

Find/(Create)

Searches the database for a specified entry. If the specified entry is

in the database, then the other data associated with it is displayed.

The Find command can also be used to create a new entry in the

database. To do this, try to Find an entry that is as yet undefined.

When it is not found by the database management system, you will

be asked if you want to create a new entry. Answer Yes to create

the new entry.

Next

Locates and displays the data associated with the next alphanumeric

entry in the database.

Prev

Locates and displays the data associated with the previous alphanu-

merical entry in the database.

Quit

level.
