14,^Search
11,
11,* ^S (Search) can be used to quickly locate a specific sounding from the    
11,  current database. After selecting ^S, the user can specify a date,         
11,  date/time, or date/time/station. The cursor will then go directly to the   
11,  first occurrence of the specification.
10,
14,^Analyze
11,
11,* ^A (Analyze) will decode and analyze a selected sounding. To select a      
11,  sounding, scroll through the database with the arrow keys until the cursor 
11,  points to the desired sounding. Then use ^A to retrieve the sounding.
10,
14,^Request Macros
11,
11,* ^R (Request macros) will retrieve a predetermined (user-defined) group of  
11,  soundings from AFOS. ^R will also create a table of parameters and/or a    
11,  DBASE compatible file for selected parameters.

14,^Table
11,
11,* ^T (Table) generates a table of convective/wind shear-related parameters   
11,  from selected soundings. To select soundings for the table, scroll through 
11,  the database with the arrow keys, then mark the desired sounding by        
11,  pressing the spacebar. When all desired soundings have been marked, press  
11,  ESC and the table will be generated.
10,
14,^Dbase
11,
11 * ^D (Dbase) creates a datafile of predetermined parameters that is          
11,  compatible with most commercial spreadsheet/database programs. Soundings   
11,  for the Dbase compatible file are selected with the arrow keys, and marked 
11,  with the spacebar. Directions for customizing parameter lists can be found 
11,  in the SHARP documentation.
10,
14,^List
11,
11 * ^L (List) will output a listing of the current database to the printer.

14,^Back-up
11,
11,* ^B (Back-up) allows selected sounding data files to be copied from the     
11,  current database to another directory (or to a floppy disk) for back-up    
11,  purposes. Soundings are selected with the arrow keys, and marked with the  
11,  spacebar.
10,
14,^Zap
11,
11,* ^Z (Zap) is used to purge soundings from the database. Selected soundings  
11,  are located with the arrow keys, and marked with the spacebar. If you try  
11,  to delete a protected sounding, the program will prompt you with a warning 
11,  message.
10,
14,^Edit
11,
11 * ^E (Edit) allows descriptive remarks to be appended to selected soundings  
11,  for future identification. Use the arrow keys to select a sounding, then ^E
11,  to add remarks.  Remarks can also be edited or deleted.

14,^Codes
11,
11,* ^C (Codes) allows descriptive tags (e.g. ^P [Protect], ^T [Tornado],      
11,  ^H [Hail], and ^W [wind]) to be appended to selected soundings. Use the    
11,  arrow keys to select a sounding, then ^C to append the appropriate codes.  
11,  ^P can also provide an added measure of security to protect valuable       
11,  soundings from accidental deletion.
10,
14,^Import
11,
11 * ^I (Import) permits sounding files to be moved into the SHARP directory    
11,  from another directory (or floppy). The files must be either SHARP modified
11,  soundings, or NNNMANCCC and NNNSGLCCC files in ASCII format.
11,
14,^Path
11,
11,* ^P (Path) allows the user to access soundings stored in another directory  
11,  (or on floppy). BE CAREFUL TO TYPE THE PATH NAME CORRECTLY.
