Thanks John & Dennis; Looks like I am getting ahead of myself here. I'm just doing a simple PIM app as a BASH script that uses SQLite to store data. Probably I can't do this in a script as you could in C.
I find the formating of the text from a file is not saved if I read it and insert it into a table, so I was hoping there was a way to save the binary file and thus preserve all the formatting. Also it would let me save images etc. in the database. When I get back to learning Python, maybe one of the SQLite wrappers will help me do this more easily. My present program is really just a way to get started until I move to Python. Also, it is good practice in BASH scripting, SQL and basic usage of SQLite. Thanks for your information.
