`%#uw!` 
After having used the "Catalog your own databases" function (see below) to register the allegro databases located in this computer's file system, the list of those databases is part of the demobase and may be used to open any one of them at once, no matter how old they are. A new and independent a99 window will be started.

`Use the DEMO Database`
A good way to make yourself familiar with the system! Don't avoid this, for no experiment you make here can do any harm to your own data. For example, in index 1 you find a list of  `record types` that a standard allegro database can accommodate.

`Create a New Database`     
You may catalog directly into the demo database, but eventually you will want your own one. You have a choice between five different setups.

`Catalog your own databases`
If you already have one or more allegro databases, no matter what format, you can have these registered by this procedure. The system catalogs them, as it were, by creating a special record for every one of them, right here in the demo base. 
In the title index, that's index 4, you then find your databases under  "db...".
