NOTE: If you selected to search by group/section, the search procedure is a little different.
The computer asks Start At Group:. Enter the first group number (1-99) to start the
search and press Enter.
The available group numbers and descriptions are displayed. Select the desired group by
using the up or down arrows or enter another group number to jump to. When the desired
group is highlighted, press Enter.
If you have section descriptions set up in the Variable File, the section numbers and
descriptions are displayed. Select the section the same way as the group.
At this point, the computer displays the first item in the selected group/section.
NOTE: If you selected to search by keyword, the computer searches through the IM1.D file
(Inventory Static Data), reading each description, looking for a match against the keyword
you entered. This takes some time, so if you have a large inventory file this is probably
not the best way to search for items.
