1.Using help
Keys available:
Pgup: scroll the screen up a page
Pgdn: scroll the screen down a page
Esc: exit help and return to the transaction listing
2.General Tips
EXPERIMENT!!! (In order to not mess any of your data up, either don't write
the wrong data to your file with the right data, or make a backup copy of
your data file first)
When you write your data to a file on your storage device (commonly known
as 'C:' drive or hard drive), it will not be lost when you turn off your
computer.
When you release (or free) your data from memory (commonly known as 'RAM'
or 'Primary memory'), it is lost forever (unless, of course, you wrote
it to your storage device).
When you turn off your computer, your data in memory is lost (unless, of
course, you wrote it to your storage device)
PFA will not let you change input locations until there is a valid value at
the current input location, unless you press ESC. Whether the value is
valid or not, by pressing ESC, you cancel all the changes made to that
item.
When recording payment of tithing, the category has to be 'Tithing' in order
to deduct it from the 'tithing owed' total.
Enter expenses as negative values.
When someone pays you back, specify them as the 'transactee'. Since the
value is positive, it will be deducted from their total.
The point-of-view of the value next to a transactee on the transactee screen
and the `Debt balance' total is: "How much money have I given them/it?"
3.General keyboard mapping
[Alt +] Up/Down arrows: move the selection one
Alt + up/down arrows:
move the selection ten
[Alt +] Home: move the selection to the item on the top of the
screen
Alt + Home:
move the selection to the first item in the whole
list
[Alt +] End: move the selection to the item on the bottom of the
screen
Alt + End:
move the selction to the last item in the whole
list
Pgup/Pgdn: move the selection up/down one page/screen
L: load a data file into memory, releasing the current
data
W: write the data in memory to a file on the disk
F: free the data in memory WITHOUT writing the data to
the file on the disk. Depending on what screen you
are on, it will release that data. For instance, if
you are on the transaction screen, only the
transactions will be released. The transactees and
categories will not be released.
C: invoke the calculator
T: display the totals
Del: remove the selected item from the list
Ins: insert a new item above the selected item
Esc: free all the data from memory and exit PFA

only 1 input location, then it acts like 'Alt+Q'
6.Modifying the category/transactee in a transaction
You can type the name of the item you want until it is displayed. The search
is case sensitive.
Up/Down arrows: change the item
7.Modifying the flags
Space bar: change the value of the flag at the cursor's location
8.Using the options screen

listing
Esc: do NOT keep changes and return to transaction listing
Enter: move to the next input location
9.Searching

Alt + F: search for transactions with a certain pattern of flags ('*' is a
wild card)
Alt + C: search for transactions with a certain category
Alt + T: search for transactions with a certain transactee
(Keys for all types of searches)
Up arrow: move to the previous match
Down arrow: move to the next match
Esc: end the search
10.Command line options
If you want to know if you owe any tithing or not, and you don't want to
have to check manually, you can setup a script to check for you! To have PFA
let the script know if you owe tithing and your PFA data file is 'bob2000',
just enter the command line 'pfa -t bob2000'. If you owe tithing, PFA will
return 1, otherwise, it will return 0.
11.Contacting the programmer
You can contact me at my email address: [email protected]

12.About PFA
PFA is shareware.
You can copy PFA and give it to as many people as you would like. Be sure
you have the current version (which is at the top of each screen). If you
would like to know if a new version comes out, just email me with
'subscribe-pfa' in the subject line. If you would like me to email the new
versions to you, just email me with 'subscribe-pfa-send' in the subject
line. If you would like to have the current version emailed to you, email
me with 'send-pfa' in the subject line.
You can send a check or money order for $10 to:
#ifndef BETA
Stephen Kittelson
P.O. Box 8505
Mesa, AZ USA 85214-8505
#else
(this is a BETA version. if you did not directly receive this copy of PFA
from Stephen Kittelson himself, delete this program! It is NOT the
offical release and may have defects, problems, and unclear
instructions!)
#endif
Please be honest! If you have already paid $10 and this is an upgrade,
please pay $5, unless the upgrade merely fixed a problem, then it is free.
Versions of PFA that are upgrades to the version you have increment the
first number before the '.' on the version number, problem fixes increment
the number after the '.'.
