The File Screen
When you create a File data base or open an existing one, the File screen
appears. The File command menu, message line, and status line appear at
the bottom of the screen. File begins in the Command mode, with the

The cursor appears at the intersection of the NEW column and row. You
can enter data immediately or first format and name the columns of your
data base, then enter data. Following is an example of a formatted data
base, which shows an employee's federal income tax records for 1976
through 1983. We will explain the File screen using this example.
