Using SCHEDL with NOTE.DO
The SCHEDL program selects
"records" from a file named
NOTE.DO. So before using
SCHEDL, you need to create
NOTE.DO. Use TEXT, as you
have done in previous chapters,
to create NOTE.DO; then insert
these records:
9/18/85,
9/23/85,
9/23/85,
10/10/85

A record is any text—a word,
line, paragraph, or even an entire
file—that ends with (ENTER).
The above file has 8 records.
Your records can be in any for-
mat. The above records are just
1 example.
Once you have created
NOTE.DO, you can use
SCHEDL to select records from
it. Return to the Main Menu and
enter SCHEDL. SCHEDL, like
all Tandy 200 programs, shows
o i l itc fiit-»/-«ti/-»r*c r\rt tVio K/-\tt-/-\rn
line. Also like all Tandy 200 pro-
grams, SCHEDL lets you use
[LABEL ) to turn on and off the
bottom line.
To select records, press the Find
key (CUD) and tell SCHEDL
which records you want to find.
For example, press (F1); then
type due (ENTER!:
Schd: Find due (ENTER)
SCHEDL selects all the records
in NOTE.DO that have the word
"due":
Schd: Find due-*

1 0 / 1 8 / 8 5 , announcement due
1 1 / 0 7 / 8 5 , proposal due

Try using other words to find
records: 10/, product meeting,
flight, and lunch. If SCHEDL
cannot display all the records on
one screen, it asks:
More Quit
Press the More key (CRT) or (M))
to see the next display or the
Quit key(CHD or (3D) to quit the
selection.
If you have a printer, you can
use the Lfnd key (CED) rather
than the Find key. SCHEDL
prints your selected information
on the printer.
