Hi Sharonda:
When you are at the Main Menu, press D for Keybase. You will be
asked which folder. Go to your "drive list" so that you can
create it where ever you want. You can even create them on a CF
card. Once you get to the "file name" write it in, and press
Enter. You will be told that it doesn't exist, and be asked if
you want to create a new one. Press Y for yes. You are going to
see "field name one"? You can write in the type of your recipe,
and press Enter. You can call it something like "desserts". You
will be told that it is a string document. Since that is what
you will be using on all of these, you can just press Enter. I
would make a lot of field names called ingredients, because even
if you don't use all of them, it won't make any difference.
After you name a field ingredients, just press Enter. You see
the "string" option again, so just press Enter. After you've
made as many of those fields you think you need, make your last
fields be instructions. You'll need to make a few lines of
those, because I believe you are only allowed 255 characters.
After you have entered all that information, press E Chord,
(Escape). You will see "sort order name?" I would use my title
like "dessert as my sort order name. Then, you will be asked if
you want to create a database by that name, which will be your
dot CDB file. You will want to say "yes". You can go to main
menu, and start using it. When you go back in to write a recipe,
from Main Menu, press D. It will be like anything else in
Keylist. You will see the Entry Name. You would press Enter.
Make sure your first item represents "dessert," or what ever type
it is.
Hope I didn't mess those up. I do so much better with
walk-throughs, <grin>.

Rhonda,
That's what I was saying. Indeed, very disappointing. First, how
can I
put separate ingredients on separate lines? Secondly, what fields
would you put in a new database? Thanks, Rhonda.

Well, folks, if it is a short recipe, you can do as I said in
the
beginning. However, if it is a ofg one, there is not enough
room. If you are going to do this, you will almost have to
create your own database. It worked for my first three recipes,
but the fourth one had too many characters. Disappointing!
