!Short: Short Entries
    When popping up the Text Display Window you are presented with a list
    of short entries to chose from.

    To define the following word "Chopin" as a short entry:

    We would add the bang command !short: to the previous line:

    !short: Chopin                                                   

    The !short: command tells the Database Composer that the rest of the
    line defines a short entry. The exclamation point precedes the word
    short and must be typed in column 1. !short: is known as a bang command.
    Bang commands are simply instructions to the Database Composer. All
    bang commands are preceded with an exclamation point.

    Note:
         The column position at which you type the short entry text is
         not critical. Text can be typed anywhere on the line after the
         !short: command. The data file you are creating should be stan-
         dard ASCII (no embedded format commands or control characters,
         such as form feeds). Such characters won't harm anything (the
         Database Composer lets you include any standard or extended
         ASCII character in the text of a database), they will simply
         appear as a bunch of smiley faces, playing cards, and other
         assorted symbols.

    Let's define two more short entries:

    !short: Chopin                                                
    !short: Bach                                                  
    !short: Mozart
