Before using
Although you can edit a shopping list in maxShopperQ, it’s best to prepare one on a
PC and then download it using ActiveSync to the My Documents folder on your Smart
phone. Lists can be prepared either directly using an editor like notepad or by using
Shihtzusoft’s free dataEdit utility that runs on a PC.

Screen organization
The screen displays 4 lines of a shopping list at one time; these are the alternating
blue/green lines. Each line has a check box, a description field and a price field.
Below the list display are three status lines. The first line shows how many items are
in the list, how many have been place in your shopping cart (or bag) and what the
current coats is, including the total cost expected. The next 2 lines are typically the
date and the name of the store, and they are the first two lines of the shopping list
file.
The very first line of the screen display (marked with the red arrow, <--) is the active
item line and can be edited or checked off as shopping progresses; see descriptions
below.
