Time display/database time-stamp option – APPLIED ENGINEERING RamKeeper User Manual
Page 59

*
Important:
If any amount of memory is allocated
to the
Buffer size
option, the printer buffer
setting is shown to be "On." However, it will not 
actually be on if not selected from the 
Control
Panel
menu.
The
Buffer-Size
option of the enhanced AppleWorks
Getting Started
menu lets you allocate the amount of
Apple IIGS memory space (up to 64K) to be used for the 
print buffer. With the Apple IIGS print buffer ON and the 
Getting Started Buffer Size
option set to OK, the
actual buffer size will be determined by the amount of 
memory (2K or less) that the Apple IIGS memory manager 
can allocate.
Time Display/Database Time-Stamp Option
This option will read the output of the Apple IIGS internal 
clock and replace the “Open-Apple-? for Help’ message in 
the bottom line of the AppleWorks screen with a current 
date and time display. This option also allows the 
AppleWorks user to enter the current date or time into a 
database category by typing the @ character as the only 
entry in that category. The category name must contain 
either the word DATE or the word TIME but should not 
contain both. For example, you should not use this 
feature in a category named, “Date and Time.”
*
Note: To use the internal clock of the Apple IIGS, 
the enhanced AppleWorks must be run under 
ProDOS 8 or 16, not ProDOS 1.1.1. (See your 
Apple dealer for ProDOS upgrades.)
The Getting Started options menu allows 12 hour or 24 
hour time and date display. How the date is displayed on 
the screen is affected by the time display option selected.
The 12-hour (USA format) option displays the date as 
Month/Day/Year.
The 24-hour (French, German, and military format) 
option displays the date as Day/Month/Year.
