 ==== Files ====
 Even the Files icon is pressed, the Attached File List card is opened, showing existing attached files, if any. The list may be sorted or grouped.
+== Selecting entries ==
+Tapping an entry displays the Entry View card for that entry.
+To select an entry for subsequent action, press and hold the entry; After about 2 seconds, it will turn blue, and next to the exit store in the upper-left corner, the number 1 will appear, indicating that there is 1 entry selected at this time. Once there is a selected entry, tapping other entries will select each one, adding one to the number selected in the upper-left corner.
+Once one or more entries have been selected, a row of 6 buttons appears in the upper-right corner of the screen:
+; Save as PDF (Square Adobe Acrobat logo): Invokes the '''Save as PDF''' card, which shows the directory into which the file will be stored (by default, something like ''/storage/memento/pdf''), and the name of the file to which to save (by default, the Library name followed by a ".pdf" filename extension, such as ''Order Items.pdf'').<br/>By tapping a folder button, the user may select from a File Manager card a different directory. Also, the filename may be changed.<br/>'''Note:''' Be sure the filename is a valid Android filename, as Memento library names may be any UTF-8 string.
+; Select All (2 concentric squares, outer dotted, inner solid): selects the remainder of the entries in the list
+; Edit (pencil): Edit the entr(y|ies).<br/>If only one entry is selected, the Entry Edit card is shown to allow editing of the entire entry.<br/>If multiple entries are selected, a list of fields names is shown; when the user chooses one, a field edit card appropriate to the field type is shown, allowing the user to enter a value. When OK is pressed on that card, the entered value will be set in all the selected entries.
+; Share (standard icon): Share the entry.<br/> If only one entry is selected, a list of available apps with which to share is shown; when the user selects one, the entry is passed to the app for sharing.<br/>If multiple entries are selected, a menu is shown, with the following options:
+:; Send as CSV: The user is prompted to identify the app to use for sending the selected entries. When the user selects one, it is passed the entries for sending as a CSV file according to the default or other [[Formatting Templates screen|'''formatting template''']].<br/>'''Note:''' Interestingly, though they may be installed on the device, neither Google Sheets nor Microsoft Excel are in the list of apps.
+:; Send as text: The user is prompted to identify the app to use for sending the selected entries. When the user selects one, it is passed the entries for sending as text according to the default or other [[Formatting Templates screen|'''formatting template''']].
+:; Formatting...: A field-by-field entry formatting card is shown, allowing the user to select formatting options for each field in turn:
+::* Send the field (or not). If so, then:
+:::* Start the field on a new line (or not)
+:::* Include the field name (or not)
+:::* Include a colon after the filename (or not)
+:: The user also may adjust the default formatting template and/or may create/select/delete other named formatting templates supporting the Share / Send All option. See '''[[Formatting Templates screen]]'''.
+; Delete entr(y|ies): The selected entr(y|ies) (is|are) optionally deleted; The user will be prompted to confirm our cancel the deletion.<br/>If only one entry is selected, the entry name of the entry is shown, to help ensure that only the right entry is deleted.
