Using an allegro Database    

There are four important Functions:

[Index] (Alt+i): Here you find alphabetical listings for browsing. This is the most convenient way of using a database. 

[Find] (button): This opens a dialog for entering search terms and boolean operators as well as qualifiers, e.g., date or type. You can also modify the latest command and re-issue it. 

[Find command]  (Alt+f) : On this line you can enter commands by hand (once you have some experience) or modify one the most recent commands which can be called back here.

`Result sets`: (Press Alt+q if something else is in the listbox). In the listbox on the left-hand side, you can see the result sets available for review. The [Del] key removes the highlighted result set. .

`FLEX`:  The Macro language of the system.

The BROOM clears all result sets, bookmarks, or the history list.
