range of application IDs in the next two fields. Again, IDs 100 through 999 are
reserved for Tandem software.
If your agent needs any special data, type this information for ENTER ANY DATA

the information needed is the name of the correspondent to whom packages are
automatically forwarded: for example, AUSTEN_JANE.
