DO A 95LX-LIKE "ONLY" SEARCH IN THE 100LX's PHONE BOOK 95LX 100LX

The 95LX PHONE application lets you press (F6) (Only) to create a subset of the PHONE Book list. Let's say on the 95LX you wanted to create a subset listing of every reference to the area code 206 in your phone book. (In your phone book you enter all area codes in brackets to distinguish them from other numbers.) From the PHONE application, press (F6), (206) and press (ENTER). The subset list will display all the records that have (206) in any field in the record.

The 100LX lets you define and select many different subsets of the same phone book (or any database). To do a 95LX-like Only search from within PHONE, press (F6) (Subset) (F2) (Define) and you are presented with the Define Subset screen.

In the Name field type *(206) and press (F10) (OK). Give the Subset a name (e.g., "Area Code 206") and press (ENTER). Then, with Area Code 206 highlighted, press (ENTER) once more. All the records that have (206) in any field will be displayed.

If you don't use the asterisk before the selection criteria, the Subset will select only those records with the selection criteria in the Name field. The asterisk tells the 100LX to look for (206) in any field.
