     MicroBase is designed to:
                                        A.  Simplfy the task of Data entry and maintenance
                                        B.  Provide analytical tools to answer questions about the Data 

     DATA ENTRY is accomplished thru a data matrix(spreadsheet) and a Data Console.
 
          The spreadsheet provides the menu and keyboard functions.

          The Data Console provides immediate(click) functions for manipulating the spreadsheeet:
                                Such as:
                                       a. Cut/Paste/Copy/Add/Delete
                                       b. Clear-restore rows/columns/cells/matrix
                                       c. Bookmarking and restoring
                                       d. Store/Restore data to/from files
                                       e. Compact the spreadsheet
                                       f. Switch between ASCII/ANSI character set
 
     DATA ANALYSIS is accomplished thru use of the Toolbar components.
          
          The Toolbar components currently provide the following types of analysis:
                                       a. Summary statistics
                                       b. Cash-flow
                                       c. Forecasting 
                                       d. Correlation
                                       e. Means tests
                                       f. Analysis of variance
                                       g. Passkey generation
                                       h. Table generator for random numbers
                                       i. Table generator for prime numbers
                                       j. Execute user programs to analyze the data
