The Table editor window is a generic Paradox table editor with two distinct
modes of operation: browse and edit.  Enter toggles which mode
is in effect.  Each field modification is posted on field exit,
window exit or editor close.  Records are automatically locked
if the {engine} is initialized for network use.  The record is unlocked
when you move to another record.  Non-keyed tables use record numbers
for fast searches, so non-keyed tables should only be edited in
full lock mode.

The Create index dialog box allows you to easily create primary,
simple secondary, composite and case insensitive indexes.  Select
fields from the Field box with Enter or mouse double-click.  To

created if there is only one field in the Secondary box,
Secondary or Incremental is selected and Case sensitive is On.  If
more that one field is selected or Case sensitive is Off then
a composite index is created with a field number > 255.
