'''This section applies to Cumulus 1.x.y only'''. The last command in '''Edit''' [[Cumulus_Screenshots#File.2FEdit.2FHelp_Menu |menu]] is ''dayfile.txt''.  ''This is how you view'' the dayfile.txt from within Cumulus.    This is a text editor, so you can type new values over those currently displayed, insert and delete rows, and it works best when at full screen. Click the ''Help'' button for detailed instructions.  Cumulus Help is comprehensive.


You can use this Cumulus 1 editor as follows:
*use '''insert''' key to add one or more missing rows (complete days) manually,
*correct individual values by over-typing,
*use '''delete''' key to remove an entire day (e.g. if you get a 'duplicate' error message),
*use '''Create missing''' button to insert missing rows (complete days) by reading from [[Monthly_log_files]] and automatically calculating the best approximations for each field for those missing days.
