     Data Text Files

     To create an Expert Help Database, the text that is to appear
     in the database is written into one or more data text files.

     A single data text 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
     text files. (Actually, you might have more, since you can
     break up the data for a single menu item across several data
     text files.)

     All the data that appears in an Expert Help Database, and
     hence the data you type into a text file, is structured into
     one of two types:

                Short Entries,

          and / or

                Long Entries
