030913 031013

At least one Event Record will be logged for each date listed. Dates are listed in the MMDDYY format.

The Event Records option may list as many as 128 dates. Only eight dates are listed in the example

cited previously. The up and down arrow keys can be used to scroll quickly through a large collection
