Overwrite
The "Overwrite" suboption is designed
to overwrite an existing data file, Use the
following procedure to perform this task:

1, Select "Save" and then "Overwrite"
from the R2CROSS menu. R2CROSS
will list the files in the current directory
that you may chose to overwrite.
2, Select a file from the list using the
arrow keys and overwrite it by pressing
<ENTER>. The existing file will be
replaced with the current file. Do not
select the ori~inal R2CROSS, WK4 filel

Calculate
"Calculate" Imtlates all staging table
calculations and prints a five page data
summary (Figures F tluough Figure J). Be sure
that you have saved your input data set and that
the proper printer type has been specified prior
to running "Calculate", This operation may
take several minutes depending upon the speed
of your computer. A detailed explanation of the
four major calculations performed within
R2CROSS can be found in "Appendix A -
Program Calculations",

Graph

The "Graph" option allows the user to
view and print a cross-section plot of the stream
transect (Figure K), The cross section plot is
useful for revealing potential problems with the
input data set or potential errors in data
collection or data entry, Errors, such as misread
rod readings on waterlines or ground profiles,
are often easily detected on a cross section plot.

Retrieve
The "Retrieve" menu option has three
suboptions, "Path", "New file", and "Existing
file", These suboptions are used to change the

current file storage path and to retrieve data
files.

Path

The "Path" suboption changes the
current data storage location, A valid storage
path may be any drive and/or directory which is
in existence on the computer's hard drive. To
select a new path, follow these steps:

1. Select "Retrieve" and then "Path"from
the R2CROSS menu.
2. Type in the name of an existing
directory on your hard drive and press
<Enter>,

Subsequent files will be stored and retrieved
within this directory, In the event that a non-
existent path is entered, the computer will beep
and return to the main menu, The default
directory will remain in effect until a valid path
has been entered.
The "Path" suboption choice is not
frequently used. It may be appropriate if you
wish to organize R2CROSS data from different
streams into separate subdirectories, However,
file organization can also be accomplished by
simply using descriptive file names. If you do
decide to create separate directories for your
R2CROSS output files, you should copy the
files from the R2CROSS diskette into each of
these subdirectories so that they can be
retrieved when you want to create a new data
set.

New file
The "New file" suboption is used to
initiate data entry on a new cross section, It
erases the current worksheet from the screen
and replaces it with a blank R2CROSS.WK4
worksheet. Read the introductory message and
press <ENTER> to initiate data entry,
