The getin database is quite sparse compared to the getout database.

Other than generating opening biggies, the getin database is used for substitution purposes.

For instance, suppose you have the following sequence:

   Heads Wheel Thru,
   Swing Thru,
   Ah So,
   Grand 1/4 Thru,
   Recycle,
   Pass Thru,
   Barrel Of Fun,
   R.L.G.

It's basically an opening biggie that is too big. What you'd like to do is replace the junk at the beginning with a set of fewer calls.

To do this, edit the sequence [graphics mode], and use the <<,<,>,>> buttons so that part of the sequence is in the upper buffer, and part is in the lower (edit) buffer.

For instance, if the upper buffer contains:

   Heads Wheel Thru,
   Swing Thru,
   Ah So,
   Grand 1/4 Thru,
   Recycle,

And the lower buffer contains:

   Pass Thru
   Barrel Of Fun
   R.L.G.

You can select 'Find | Getin', and it will display a set of getins that you can replace the first 5 calls with. You can then select an alternate getin, such as:

   Heads Box The Gnat,
   Split Right On 3,

And you've got a shorter sequence:

   Heads Box The Gnat,
   Split Right On 3,
   Pass Thru,
   Barrel Of Fun,
   R.L.G.

Tah-dah!
