Data Source Files

     To create a Norton Guides database, the text that is to appear
     in the database is written into one or more data source files.

     A single data source file is created for each menu item. If,
     for example, you had a database with three menus, and each
     menu contained three items, you would have nine separate data
     source files. (Actually, you might have more, since you can
     break up the data for a single menu item across several data
     source files.)

     All the data that appears in a Norton Guides database, and
     hence the data you type into a source file, is structured into
     one of two types:

                Short Entries, and

                Long Entries

     Use the "seealso" window at the top of the screen to learn
     more about short and long entrys.
