Thank you for your help. I appologize for my ignorance. Star Office 5.2 
apparently came with a GUI database editor for Adabas. SO 6.0 does not seem 
to have one! 

I have used Microsoft Access since their version 1.0 for relational database 
creation and management. Created several business specific databases with it. 
 The database editor in Star Office 5.2 is very much like Microsoft Access 
and was easy for me to use and figure out.  I rely heavily on the GUI at this 
point with Linux.

I tried opening up the data sources in SO 6.0 as you suggested but it's not 
exactly what I am looking for. How do I create a new database with it? Adabas 
with 5.2 was very easy to use. I can't figure out how to get the same GUI 
editor with 6.0 (maybe it's no longer there). Do you have any other 
suggestions?
