Figure 3-51: ITEM ID Match
The application adds the item ID to the item list and prompts
you for a description of the item. Use the keypad to enter a
description (for example, POCKET READER MANUAL). The
application will add the description to the description file and
prompt you for the number of units of the item.

to return to the application menu.
The portable stores the collected data in a single ASCII text file.
When you upload the file to your computer, the data will appear
as a list. Each line in the list will contain two fields separated by a
comma. The first field is the item ID, and the second field is the
number of units of that item. (The item descriptions are not
included in the file). The list below is part of a data file uploaded
from a portable that used
