echo   You are about to ERASE all of your created records, from your present
echo   location.  This will mean that you will have a BARE BONES program, but
echo   NO RECORDED DATA.  You will be starting fresh.  If you have not already
echo   used the SAVE option, to Backup your files on a disk, and you wish to,
echo   please ABORT this screen by typing CTRL and C, at the same time, and
echo   then answer Y to the `TERMINATE BATCH JOB?' prompt. Then type SAVEA, or
echo   SAVEB and press ENTER.  Follow the instructions. (Have you considered
echo   the PRESERVE option?  You may want to ABORT, type PRESERVE, press ENTER,
echo   and read the description of what it is.  You can ABORT it, without
echo   taking action, if you wish to return here and use the CLEAR option.)
echo   NOTE: DO NOT attempt to save files from one period, year, etc, to the
echo   same backup disk where you saved files from a previous period.
echo   Previously saved files will be WRITTEN over by the newly saved files,
echo   and lost.  If the files that you have previously saved, are also
echo   included in the files that you are presently saving, meaning that what
echo   you are saving is simply an UPDATE of the previous files, then that is
echo   perfectly ok.

echo   If you are ready to clear your program of all records, just press the
echo   ENTER key.  If you wish to SAVE records first, ABORT in the manner
