Edit Commands

The commands listed below are used depending on what type of a system being utilized.  Windows servers may also use Word Pad or other applications for editing the application tables and parameter files in Profits Plus and when previewing print files, in those cases the Word Pad commands will be applicable (i.e. find/replace from the Edit menu).  

When you go into any module’s System Management (Task 32), Modify Application Tables (Sub-task 17), all of the application tables have some or all of the commands listed below at the end of the table.  This is a list of the most commonly used commands:

Holding down the CONTROL key and pressing:

B – Creates a blank line.

D – Deletes a space

E – Last screen

F – Inserts a space.

R – Scrolls to previous screen

T – Scrolls to next screen.

Y – Deletes from where the cursor is to the end of the line.

Z – Deletes a line (Use carefully)

There are places some of these commands can be used and other places they cannot. 

·        If changing a name of a customer in the Customer Master file, you can use the Control D, F, or Y. 

·        If changing information in a Memo note, in addition to Control D, F or Y, Control Z can also be used.
