Data

DATTTTTAAAAA

You can use Data to store information like a card index system,

with a separate entry for each “card”.
When you first use Data, the “labels” (e.g. Subject:, Notes:, and

so on) are designed so that you can start a “knowledgebase” of

information straight away. You can use the standard labels to

keep track of items of information about different subjects in one

file or in different files. For example, you may want to keep a

database for notes about software products, another one for

interesting Web sites, and another for restaurants you want to

visit.
You can also create databases for other types of information by

changing the labels to match the information you wish to enter.

See ‘Customising the database’ later.
