operation such as moving around in the file with PgUp and PgDn, ZbaseW automatically

saves the record for you.

Transfer Message Changes

After you use ZbaseW to Edit the Message Database on the office computer, you need to

send the new message file “messages” to the Series 2000 Paging Terminal. The file is

small, so we have simply provided the full update facility. To do this, select Comm,

Update from the ZbaseW Comm menu. This will 1) build the “messages” file from the

msgs2000.dat file, and 2) communicate the updated “messages” file to the Series 2000

Paging Terminal. The paging terminal continues normal operation without interruption

even while you are sending it a new message database.

During step 2), ZbaseW transfers the message database to the paging terminal. If there is

some problem with the communications link, consult the technician who installed and set

up the office computer. At that time, he/she should have provided phone numbers to

ZbaseW using the Edit Locations menu item.

Printing Messages

The Message Database information is printed by using the Print Messages menu item from

the ZbaseW main menu. You select whether the printout should go into a disk file

(msgs2000.lst) or directly to a printer as follows. Your printout will appear similar to

Figure 26.

Note After you make Edit changes to the Subscriber Database to enter or

modify Alpha Access numbers or Alpha pagers, be sure to transfer

these changes to the paging terminal with the Comm Update

menu. (See TRANSFER MESSAGE CHANGES for details.)
