system keypad, and to use any "status & control"
features of this software. (The user's PIN number is
also required. See "Change PIN", to follow.);

default sort order), right-click a blank area on the form,
and select "Remove Filter/Sort".

forced to enter at a reader, or login at a keypad (i.e.,
duress) by reversing the last two digits of their PIN.)
