Employee
Expense Ledger and Account

The default for the Pay Type field is r. When filled, the screen appears as follows:
Pressing the STORE <F5> button records the information and clears the screen. If a large amount of detail is being entered, the Line Feed key is very useful for duplicating information from the previously stored record.
