      The default key is by entry number, which matches the order that
      the database structures were imported into the system.

      Whenever you change the key you also need to Select a value matching
      the key for the system to know what you want displayed.

      When you choose an EXACT key you will be restricted to a specific
      database or field.  An approximate key allows you to review a
      range of values.

      To gain a database specific view of the entries choose the database
      key, then select your target database either exactly or approximately.

        A Partial match allows you to review a range or subset.

        An Exact match restricts you to a specific set like
        one database or one field.

  Yes, you can use your mouse with this software.

  This program allows you to manage Xbase database (.DBF) files.  Its
  useful for creating, altering, comparing, combining, and simply
  reviewing the structure of database files.

  The main menu is as follows:

  ADD SELECT CHANGE DELETE  KEYS  TOP PREV NEXT END    OTHER

  Add allows you to add more entries in a database file.  You must
  later choose the OTHER entry and CREATE the changed database.  It
  will be created in the current directory, and any existing file
  with the same name will be renamed as a backup.

  Select allows you to choose a specific database, field, or entry,
  or a range of any of these.  One example use is to compare all the
  LASTNAME fields in the databases on your hard drive to ensure that
  they are the same length.

  Change allows you to change a specific database entry,        [more below]
  matching a field.

  Delete allows you to delete a specific database entry.        

  Keys allows you to review the entries in various orders: by
  database name, by entry number, and by fieldnames.  You can choose
  to review exactly (such as one specific database), or approximately.
  The default key matches the order the database structures were
  imported into the system.  If you find that the key that you are
  using is too specific, reKEY approximately to reinitialise
  the keying lasso, then reKEY to match what you want.

  The TOP PREV NEXT END choices allow you to move about the screen
  and database of entries.  Use your mouse or tap the first letter
  of each word.

  Other is a menu of Other choices.
