001 INTRO:
MEMO fields provide an industry standard way to attach variable
length information to data files. MEMOs for a data base file
are stored in a separate file with the same name but the
extension DBT. The two files should be stored together in the
same subdirectory.
While we create new files in dBASE 4.1 format, Info will read
and write to dBASE III format if a memo file in that format is
supplied.
le in that format is
supplied.
002 READ, EDIT, and BROWSE:
When a memo field is displayed in READ, EDIT, or BROWSE, the
field is filled in with either 'memo' or 'MEMO'. The upper case
form is used when there is a memo attached to the field.
To view a memo move the cursor to the memo field and press
alt-R to read the memo, alt-W to edit the memo. In either case,
the memo is displayed in the Info WRITE facility. If WRITE was
entered with alt-R, changes will not be saved when returning
from WRITE.

003 WRITing MEMOS:
A memo may be written at any time by invoking the WRITE command
with the memo field name preceeded by 'm.' For example this
memo could have been invoke with the command WRITE m.note.
A file can be moved in or out of memo fields with the WRITE
command. For example, to load a file NEWNOTE.DOC to replace the
current memo in the field MESSAGE (or to add a memo where there
was none), enter WRITE with the command
WRITE newnote.doc
on leaving WRITE, change the filename to M.message.

004 USING TEXT:
A memo can also be displayed using the TEXT command.
TEXT M.NOTE would display this message. See the program
MEMODEMO.prg which uses this technique.
