- ENTER: Tara Datafile Utilities, v. 2.0, (c) 1987 by David C. Oshel
-
-
- Syntax: C>enter [ -F<field separator> | <pathname>.DAT [...] ]
-
- This program allows you to append records to a MailMerge-type datafile.
- You must have a corresponding PATHNAME.FLD file for each PATHNAME.DAT.
-
- Enter uses the .FLD file to prompt you for the values of your data fields.
- Use WordStar to create the .FLD file. Put each field prompt on a separate
- line. You may annotate your definition file by putting a dot (period) in
- the first column of each document line. Any blank lines in a .FLD file will
- be ignored. The .FLD file must exist, the .DAT may be created by Enter.
-
- Data files contain the familiar, multi-comma, one-line, records used by
- MicroPro's MailMerge facility. Enter adds QUOTATION MARKS to any field
- which contains commas, or APOSTROPHES to fields with both quotes and commas.
-
- Edit your input using the standard keys -- i.e., arrows, Ins, Del, F3, etc.
- If you enter "\b" on a line, you may back up to a previous field. You
- may also quit by entering "\q". The \b and \q commands are lowercase.
