Adding Shops To Money Manager

The Money Manager program is written in the Initial Programming Language, this is an interpretive language similar in structure to BASIC, but was created as a programming language for beginners not programmers.

If you have never programmed before then you should be able to make some changes but might need to spend a bit of time to bring the spare shops into use.

If you are an experienced programmer you might find the environment a bit annoying.

Start MoneyManger/IPL but do not run it, use the cursor or mouse to move around the code.

To Add a new line press <Return> at the desired location and select and complete the dialog that is presented.

To Edit a line press <Tab> or <F2> on the desired line.

We are very familiar with IPL and MoneyManager, if anybody would like to write a strangers guide we would be happy to add it to this page.
