Overview
AT&TCall is a card file application that enables you to maintain information

What Is AT&TCall?
As mentioned previously, AT&TCall is a card file application. To understand
how AT&TCall operates, it is helpful to recall how a card file works. A card file
is a unit that stores separate index cards, which are sorted according to
whatever method you want (usually alphabetical order) and contain specific
information you enter. When you obtain a new card file, it is usually empty.
You must then enter data on a card and add the card to the card file.
Eventually, the card file contains a bank of cards. If you want to modify a
card in the card file, you must find the card in the card file, remove it, make
your changes, and then place it back to its position in the bank. If you want to
remove a card, you must locate the card in the card file and remove it (usually,
you throw it away).
Each AT&TCall file can be thought of as being a separate card file unit. Each
AT&TCall file contains separate data entries, which are referred to as cards.
The collection of these cards is referred to as a bank. Each AT&TCall file can
contain a maximum of 2000 cards in its bank. These cards are sorted in
whatever manner you specify (via the sort option in the View menu) and
contain specific information that you enter. Figure 4-1 shows an untitled
AT&TCall window displaying a blank card. Figure 4-2 shows the components
of an AT&TCall window.

							Using AT&TCall
When you create a new AT&TCall file, it does not contain any cards. The List
field, which lists the cards present in the file, is empty, and the screen displays
a blank card. As with a card file, you must then access a new, blank card (via
the New Card button), enter data on the blank card, and add the new card to
the bank of the AT&TCall file (via the Add Card button).
If you want to modify a card in the AT&TCall file, you must find the card that
you wish to modify, remove it from the card bank, make your changes to the
card (via the Edit Card button), and then place it back in the bank (via the
Return Card button). If you want to delete a card, you must locate the card in
the AT&TCall file and delete it (via the Delete Card option in the Edit menu)
from the bank of the AT&TCall file. If you make changes that you want to save,
you must save the entire card bank to a file (via the Save or Save As options
in the File menu).
Unlike a card file, AT&TCall enables you to perform the following tasks quickly
and easily:

files
Each AT&TCall file also provides a desktop with Quick Dials, which are
similar to autodial buttons on your telephone. AT&TCall provides a maximum
of 50 Quick Dials (two sets of 25) per file. However, if you need no more than
20 Quick Dials, you can set AT&TCall to display a maximum of 20 Quick Dials
(two sets of 10). AT&TCall also enables you to hide all of the cards in your
AT&TCall file. In this situation, only the Quick Dials, Hang Up button, Dialpad
button, Timer button, and Quick Shift button (if 50 Quick Dials are used) are
displayed.

Depending on the number of Quick Dials you specified and whether the card is
hidden, your AT&TCall file desktop can have four different looks. Figures 4-3,
4-4, 4-5, and 4-6 show these different desktop looks.
