═══ 1. Using CardBase ═══

 CardBase is a very simple database that comes with DraftIT. It has a title 
field and a multi-line entry field for any information you wish to store in a 
record - much like an ordinary card system. The information in the multi-line 
entry field can be exported to DraftIT documents or other applications via the 
clipboard, using the Edit menu. 

 Search strings must be entered in the top left entry field. Both the title 
fields and data fields of your records are queried for this string. Searches 
are case insensitive, and the results appear in the list box on the left hand 
side of the CardBase window. Selecting an entry in this list box displays the 
record. You can add records by typing a title in the title field and then 
entering any text you wish in the multi-line entry field. Select Add from the 
Record menu when done. This menu also provides options for modifying or 
deleting entries. NOTE; deleted entries are merely marked as such, not 
physically deleted from the database files. To delete such marked entries 
permanently, select the Exit and pack option when you've finished using 
CardBase. 

  PLEASE NOTE! 

   CardBase is part of the DraftIT package and therefore freeware. However, it 
is only a front end and relies on the RexxBase dll to function. RexxBase is 
shareware, NOT freeware. Please register it, if you wish to use CardBase 
regularly. Registering RexxBase is especially attractive for ReXX programmers - 
who'll get a powerful (CardBase does it little justice) and fully documented 
database engine for their applications. ReXXBase is also comparatively easy to 
use. To register, contact;
