UNIX-Type filePro Manual Page

[Bob Stockler]

Ever since getting filePro+ 1.2 on Tandy 6000 Xenix I've been
maintaining for my own quick reference a UNIX-type manual page
about filePro stuff.  I updated it for filePro v4.1, & v4.8 when
I got those upgrades, and am now trying to do so for v5.0 stuff.

It's not so extensive as filePro's own help files, or Laura's
Help Files, but - when creating/editing a processing table in
"vi" it comes in handy (as it does in other situations).  Being
able to execute:

  man fp5

and have a searchable reference, that contains a lot of what is
of interest to me, has been a great help.

It's not easy to proofread one's own work, so I need some help.
I need some collaborators who would find this type of file of
use, and would offer me some input about making it better.

I'll email my "fp.man.gz" to the first 5 who agree to do so, and
email me privately.

Right now it covers these topics:

  A - FilePro Capacities and Limits
  B - When Processing Labels
  C - System Maintained Fields
    C1 - All Tables
    C2 - Input Tables Only
    C3 - Output Tables Only
  D - System Arrays
  E - Punctuation
  F - Math Operators
  G - Text Manipulation Operators
  H - Logic Operators
  I - Notes on Commands
  J - Processing Table Commands
  K - Trig Functions
  L - Financial Functions
  M - Key Label Codes
  N - Environmental Variables
    N1 - Screen-Display-Enhancement-Affecting Variables
    N2 - Disk-Location Affecting Variables
    N3 - Debugging Variables
    N4 - Printed Output-Affecting Variables
    N5 - Operating System-Specific Variables
    N6 - Index-Related Variables (building, lookups, browse, etc.)
    N7 - Misc Program-Specific Related Variables
    N8 - Other Variables that Affect All Programs
  O - User Menu and Command Line Flags
    O1 - Inquire, Update, Add Flags
    O2 - Request Output Flags
    O3 - Define Processing Table Flags
    O4 - Expand File Flags
    O5 - Index Maintenance Flags
    O6 - FilePro Directory Flags
  P - Extended Selection Sets
  Q - System Edits
  R - Global Edits
  S - Edits Syntax
