RE-INDEX Data File will automatically rebuild CARDFILE index files.  Each data
file has a corresponding index file which can become corrupted or damaged.  A
damaged index file can make locating a particular record in a data file very
difficult.  When this happens, the index file must be rebuilt so that it is
up to date and intact.  This option does just that.

It is a good idea to periodically rebuild the index files that correspond to
each CARDFILE data file.  In fact, if you have made a lot of changes, whether
adding, deleting or updating information, you should select option R.  Re-
indexing a file takes just a few moments, and can save you a lot of aggrevation
later.

To use the RE-INDEX Data option:

1.  Press <R> from the CARDFILE MAIN MENU.  If a data file has been selected,
    its index file will be rebuilt automatically.

2.  When re-indexing is complete, press any key to return to the CARDFILE MAIN
    MENU.
