 pDateTool by PaulComputing

This dialog allows you to create a new "DateBook Item" in the "Date Book" and its clone applications.

This is a pToolSet module. Please see the manual for details.

 Please note that all command letters are case sensitive.

 Start up Rules 

If the current text field is editable and has current text selection which contains the description-note separator string ":note:", then [part] of the selected text gets copied into the "Date Item Vitals" dialog's text fields according to the following rules.

 (i) The selected text up to the string ":note:", but no more than 255 chars, gets copied into the "item" field.

 (ii) The selected text following the string ":note:", but no more than 4096 chars, gets copied into the "note" field.

Otherwise, if the current text field is editable and has current text selection, then the first 255 chars of the selected text gets copied into the "item" field.

Otherwise, some default text gets copied into the dialog's text fields.

 The "ESC = " button allows you to define your own ESC key. Tap it to reveal the "ESC" text field. Enter your new ESC key and then tap the "ESC =" button again.

Hint. Use the page up/down keys or the arrow up/down characters to scroll the alphabet in the "ESC" text field.

Hint. If the "ESC" key is active then the "ESC = " button inverts itself.

 Navigational Help
