Overview
Whenever a choice between two options is given within parentheses, the first choice listed
is the DEFAULT choice, unless otherwise specified; thus, just pressing RETURN is the
same as entering that choice.
After responding to the FORMS ENTRY prompt, DICTDBM issues a command prompt (>).
You are now ready to use DICTDBM commands to create, manipulate, or maintain entries
in the Dictionary. To terminate execution of DICTDBM, enter the EXIT command in
response to a command prompt.
Entries are created in the Dictionary through a series of command strings in response to a
command prompt (>). The action of the command string can be modified or enhanced by
including one or more of the available command options.
