Enhancements to Summary Mode

When you view a listing in Compass summary mode, PC Access displays the following buttons and text to the left of the photo for any listing that has more than one photo:

· If a summary listing has at least one photo after the currently visible photo, a >> button appears to the left of the photo. Clicking this button displays the next summary photo for the listing.

· If a summary listing has at least one photo before the currently visible photo, a << button appears to the left of the photo. Clicking this button displays the previous summary photo for the listing.

· The number of the current photo.

· The total number of photos for the listing.

Several commands on the Summary Listing Speed Menu do something with a photo (e.g., display it in a larger size, or print it). If a summary listing has more than one photo, the photo you select by clicking the >> or << buttons before opening the Summary Listing Speed Menu is the photo your menu selection will process.

PC Access adds a hyper-browse feature to summary mode. In this mode you can scroll rapidly through all summary listings you have displayed since you entered summary mode after completing your most recent search. To start hyper-browsing press Ctrl-Page Up. Then you may use the Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys to browse through the summary listings you have already viewed. PC Access stores these in your computer's memory, so you do not have to spend time downloading them again from your MLS. (Hyper-browse acts something like the Scroll Back feature of PC Access, except that hyper-browse does not "remember" summary listings after you leave the current summary mode.)

To exit hyper-browse, press the Esc key. Once you exit the current summary display mode in Compass, PC Access erases its local copy of the corresponding summary listings from its memory. If you return to the same summary display later in your Compass session, you will have to view the summary listings again in Compass before PC Access can let you hyper-browse them.
