A wire custom search file is created to allow users to search through their news for stories which match specific categories, priorities, headlines, and text. 1) Scroll down the options screen using your down arrow key until the highlight is over CREATE WIRE CUSTOM SEARCH FILE and press ENTER. A window will open that looks like this: Number of Custom Searches is: 100 NOTE: If you create a wire custom search file, your existing news searches, including your auto print jobs, WILL BE LOST! The maximum number of searches is 1000. 2) If you are accepting the default of 100, or you have already changed the number, press F4 to create the wire search file. You will see an active bar graph indicating how much of the file has been created until it reaches 100%. 3) When the file creation is completed, you will be returned to the SETUP MAIN MENU SCREEN. 4) Press ESC to exit back to DOS.
