INSTALLATION
------------
WCheck Package: wcheck.exe, example.wc, wcheck.txt

There are no special installation steps necessary to install Wcheck.
Simply use Program Manager to create a new program item for wcheck.exe.
Then you can create file associations using File Manager for *.wc files
so that you can start WCheck simply by double clicking *.wc files.

DESCRIPTION
-----------

        WCheck provides a simple interface that allows users to enter
and keep track of transactions for savings and checking accounts.
You can keep track of several different accounts by saving each in a
separate file.  WCheck file extensions default to but are not
restricted to ".wc".  The WCheck package comes with a sample checking
account file called "example.wc".

WCHECK ENTRIES
--------------

ENTRY INFORMATION

        WCheck allows the entry of withdrawals, deposits, or interest
transactions by selecting the appropriate radio buttons in the top
right corner of the window.  Enter additional information about the
transaction including day, month, year, amount, description and check
number.  Additionally, specify whether the transaction is outstanding
or not.

ADDING ENTRIES

Once the appropriate information relevant to the transaction is
specified, use the 'Add' pushbutton to add the entry to the entry
listbox.  Entries in the listbox are sorted by date, month, and
the outstanding status.
When an entry is added, it is highlighted in the entry listbox, and the
'check #', 'Amount', and 'Description' fields are automatically
cleared in preparation for the next entry.  Outstanding entries are
marked with an 'x'. 

REPLACING ENTRIES

WCheck allows an easy way to replace entries.  Selecting the target
entry in the entry listbox automatically sets the appropriate controls
of the window to match those of the entry.  This eliminates the need
to re-enter all the information associated with the entry.  Modify the
entry as needed and then use the 'Replace' pushbutton to replace the
selected entry in the listbox with the updated entry.

DELETING ENTRIES

Entries are deleted by selecting the target entry in the listbox and
using the 'Delete' pushbutton.

SEARCHING ENTRIES

Select the 'Search' pushbutton to bring up the 'Search' dialog.  You
can use this dialog to search for entries matching descriptions,
amounts, and check numbers, and can search forwards or backwards in
the list.  The starting search position is always the currently
selected entry in the listbox.

WCHECK STATISTICS
-----------------

TOTALS
------

Balance:        The current balance including all entries in the
                listbox.

Bal. to Sel:    The balance including all entries up to and including
                the currently selected entry in the listbox.

Interest:       The sum of all interest entry amounts including all
                entries in the listbox.

MONTHLY AVERAGES
----------------

The statistics in this field refer to monthly averages of withdrawals,
deposits, and interest transactions.  Entries of the latest month
in the entry listbox are NOT included in this calculation, therefore,
if all entries in the list are of the same month, these statistics
will be $0.00.

These statistics help to establish monthly budget guidelines.

MONTH TOTALS
------------

The statistics in this field refer to monthly totals of withdrawals,
deposits, and interest transactions for the currently selected month
in the month listbox.


WCHECK FILES
------------

WCheck files are saved in ascii format.  The entries in the entry
listbox are stored in a file the same way as they appear in the listbox.
You can create WCheck records for different accounts by generating a
separate file for each.

It is recommended for accounts with a lot of activity to split the
account into yearly files since a large number of entries tends to
slow down the functionality of WCheck.
