low any user-defined index
entries. The user is not required
to have any NOTE pages, but the
index entry will always be pre-
sent.
The user-defined index entries
may point to sub-index pages, or
directly to a checklist. The user
is free to name these entries, and
to determine their organization.
Typically, the first entry on the
root page would be ‘EMERGEN-
CY PROCEDURES’, but the
user is free to provide another
organization. At least 4 such
user-defined index entries will be
provided on the root index page.
The initial cursor position will
always be at the first index entry
in the root page. The cursor will
be restricted to the six index
entry lines.
The user will be able to specify
the color of the top title lines, the
color of each of the four user-
assigned index items, the color of
the cursor line, and the colors
that each of the user-assigned
index lines change to when all
items in the sub-tree have been
checked off or when a portion of
them have been checked off.
The color of the other lines are
fixed.
◗ SUB INDEX PAGES
Starting with the pointers associ-
ated with the root index page,
sub-index pages can be created.
These sub-index pages, or sim-
ply index pages, can have entries
which point to either a list of
checklist pages, or to another
index page. Within a given level,
the user can chain index pages
together. For example, starting at
one of the index entries on the
root page, the user can create a
collection of N index pages trail-
ing off the entry on the root.
Each index entry on the N index
pages can in turn point to anoth-
er list of sub-index pages (or a
list of checklist pages). The
index pages form a hierarchy
which can be nested arbitrarily
deeply (subject to memory con-
straints).
Each index page consists of a
title line with relative page num-
ber indication, and up to eleven
index entry lines. These index
entries may span more than a
single line, but may not cross
page boundaries. As with the
root index page, the first two
character columns are reserved.
The user can select the color of
the title line, and the color of
each of the index entry lines. In
addition, the color of the cursor
line, the color of partially-com-
pleted items, and the color of
fully-checked items can be speci-
fied.
◗ CHECKLIST ITEM PAGES
Refer to figure 4.4.7. At the bot-
tom of the checklist ‘tree’ are the
checklist page lists. These pages
contain individual checklist
checkoff items. The items on
these pages are either checked
or unchecked.
