Hello.
 
For some time I have been looking for a little list manager program
to let me store phone numbers or lists on my HP48.  With no memory cards,
I was looking for something small.  I couldn't find any I liked, so
I wrote my own.  The program is based on an index-card metaphor.
Cards are indexed by their first line.  To save memory, I made extensive
use of the INPUT command rather than writing my own editor.  The whole
program is only 2300 bytes (without data)
 
Operation:
 
Download the directory to the 48.  Go into the directory and then into
the FILES subdirectory.  Enter a quoted variable name for the database
and press CARDS.
 
If the database does not exist, a null list will be created and stored
in the variable.  Then the card viewer will start.  The following commands
work in the viewer:
 
Up arrow    - Scroll current card up.
Down arrow  - Scroll current card down.
Left arrow  - Move to previous card.
Right arrow - Move to next card.
ADD         - Add a new card.  Initially the database is empty, so this
              will be the only valid option.
EDIT        - Edit the contents of the current card.  The title line cannot
              be changed.  To change the title, delete the card with DEL
              and retype it using ADD.
DEL         - Delete current card.
FIND        - Search cards for a matching (or closest) title.  FIND prompts
              the user for the search text.
SAVE        - Save the database back to the variable name.  The program
              works on a copy of the database, so if you make a mistake,
              you can just QUIT without changing the database
QUIT        - Quit the card viewer.  The current database is not saved,
              so SAVE should be done before QUIT to keep any changes.
 
Let me know if you use this program.  There are lots of ways it
can be extended, but life is short and SRAM expensive.  The error
checking is nonexistent, which is why I make the user execute SAVE
explicitly so the database does not become corrupted if something
strange happens.
