InfoSelect: a DOS alternative to PHONE (95LX) (100/200LX)

I tried the HP 100LX PHONE book application for 8 months but switched back to InfoSelect for phone numbers and notes.

InfoSelect is much faster, much better at "fuzzy" searches (a search for similar words and phrases instead of an exact match), much more versatile, and, most importantly, I can ZOOM in on the InfoSelect screen. I can't ZOOM on the HP PHONE screen, which to me is virtually unreadable in anything but the best light.

To transfer my 100LX PHONE information to InfoSelect I used the clip feature to paste N records to a MEMO text file with each record delineated from the next by "--", then I imported the text file to single InfoSelect note. Then I used SPLIT in InfoSelect to split the window into N windows at each "--" mark.

[Editor's Note: For detailed instructions on using InfoSelect on the 95LX refer to Victor Roberts article in the Jan/Feb 93 HP Palmtop Paper. pg. 35-37.

To set up InfoSelect with its own SINGLE keystroke "hotkey" on the 100LX refer to 100Buddy's documentation. - Robert.]
