ESTIMATION
Preparing an estimate for a particular commodi-
ty or job is time-consuming if the unit price of
each of many items involved has to be checked
by referring to a price list.
This program permits preparing an estimate
quickly merely by inputting the quantity and
discount rate of a particular commodity, which
can be easily retrieved from a previously stored
list. Since commodities are recorded under
CETL, the updating of data and the transfer of
data to or from an external device are easy. This
program will prove useful in transactions with
customers and in preparing estimates at shops.
When the program is started, a menu is displayed on the screen. The following describes
the contents of the menu and how to use the menu.

After the product name and the unit price are input, the prompt "END (E/ELSE)" is
displayed. To terminate the input, press the E key. To continue data input, press any
