[net.micro.pc] dbase 3 memo field query

nlcr@ecsvax.UUCP (10/11/84)

I am trying to append a foreign file (delimited with double quotes and
commas) into a data base file which contains a memo fiels.  All goes
well except that the data which should go into the memo field - in the
dbt file - appears to be discarded by dBASE.  After the APPEND is
complete, I try to display the contents of the memo field and it is
empty; all other fields are fine.  Does anyone know how to append data
into a memo field or is it simply not possible ?
Many thanks.
