Karen, I don't know anything about templates either, but when I want to
copy an address into Keylist, say from a document, I do space with b to do
the block commands and then copy it to the clipboard, then I go to Keylist,
and either create the record I want to put the address in, or look up the
record I want to add it to. Then I do backspace with v to paste it
in. The block commands in the databases work differently. It's backspace
k to copy a block from the address list or a keymail header to the buffer,
and backspace with v to paste text from the buffer into keymail headers or
keylist, or even keyweb for that matter.

Maria, thanks a bunch. I am an experienced BrailleNote user, but I must
admit that dealing with databases is my glaring weakness, (smile.) I will
definitely read up about templates because I'm not really sure which
template to use. I really appreciate all of this because I thought that
maybe I wasn't doing something right when I saw the template name option,
but I didn't know what else to do so it looks like I'm on the right track
after all.

> A Template determines what fields of a database record will be copied, and
it also handles the format of the copied record. In your case, you will be
offered the Templates of the KeyList folder of the Flash Disk by default,
which is where you want to be, and you will be offered Templates that have
already been created; they all use the Address List database, which is what
you want, and they are used for different situations, as implied by their
names: "Phone List Template", "Envelope Template", "Letterhead Template",
etc. I suggest you look in the KeyList folder of the Flash Disk and read
through the templates if you are unsure as to which one you want to use when
copying your record. If you are unsatisfied with the templates, modify an
existing one or create one of your own. In the index of your User Guide,
look up Templates Topics, and you will read all about template creation.
Note that the field list you are presented with from the Insert Field option
of the Templat!
> es Menu, if you decide to modify/create a template and need to insert a
field, is the field list for the database selected through the Select
KeyList File option of KeyList. If your only database in KeyList is the
address list itself, you should be fine. However, as an aside, if you ever
want to create a template for a custom database, select your custom
database's KeyList Definition File from the Select KeyList File option
before doing so. If you are using anything below KeySoft 5.1, you will see
the option called "Select KeyList File" directly in the KeyList Menu; if
using 5.1, enter the "Setup Options" of the KeyList Menu, and it will be
grouped there along with "New Entry Language" and "Free Database Space". As
far as your situation goes, once you have selected your Template, the record
will be copied to the clipboard using the fields and format settings of that
Template. If you have any more questions regarding this, just post. HTH.
