Welcome to ProPoser!                                        
ProPoser is ready from the first moment to enter any type of 
data. Anything you can describe with words and/or numbers 
has place in the Database of ProPoser. The true limit is 
your need or pleasure of collecting information and...the

You got your own Record for your personal data. In the same 
way, you will can make records about people, entities, 
objects, events or any type of things. 


Now you will learn establishing Links between Records. 
Ingress on your record the link with your mother. Follow the 
next steps.                                                 
1) Press Add Data button                                    
2) On the box, write the word MOTHER and press Enter        
3) On the new box write : (a colon) plus the name of your    
   mother (For example, :Julia)                             
4) Press Control+Enter                                       
5) Press Enter to finish the action.


The program created a Record with the name of your mother. 
From now, you can link any record with this one writing the 
nature of the link on column 1 and :Julia (for example) on 
column 2.


The : sign (a colon) is the Symbol of Link. As you make a 
link you must put a colon : before the attribute of the 
record you want link.                                       
REMEMBER THIS! To secure a good link, you must use an 
exclusive attribute of the linked record and this attribute 
must be written with care, including every present 
orthographic sign. Otherwise, if the attribute is not 
exclusive, the relationship may be established with other 
record with the same attribute or if the attribute is 
misspelled and not exist any record with such attribute, 
ProPoser will create by default a new record and will 
establish the link with this new record.


Now, try editing a Record.                                  
When you established the link with your mother, ProPoser 
searched for a record having an attribute like the name of 
your mother to record as data that link. As this record was 
not found, ProPoser created automatically other record, and 
assigned to it, as its unique attribute, the name written 
for you. ProPoser, not understanding this word is a name, 
defined that attribute as an...ATTRIBUTE. Now, we can 
correct this inaccuracy editing the attribute. Follow the 
next steps.                                                 
1) To retrieve the record of your mother write on screen her
   name and press Enter.


1) Click on the word Attribute                              
2) Press the Edit button                                    
3) Replace the word by the words FIRST NAME and press Enter.


Now, add a new attribute to your mother. Follow these steps.
1) Press Add Data button                                    
2) Write the words LAST NAME and press Enter                
3) Write the last name of your mother                       
4) Press Control+Enter                                       
5) Press Enter to finish the action.


Now, let's see a List of Records. What is a List? A List is 
the set of all the records having a common characteristic. 
View in your database the list of all of the records with 
FIRST NAME. Follow the next steps.

   first record with first name)                            
2) Press List Records button.


If Status line indicates "Listing Records with FIRST NAME", 
we can see all the records with first name in form of list, 
each on a different line, showing on first column the 
attribute for the List and on second column other attribute, 
if any, allowing us to individualize the record. From a list 
you can call any displayed record simply double clicking it.
1) Double click on the record of your mother.


The Status line indicates "Viewing a Record" and the current 
record is the one of your mother. You can get the list of
