I need some help. I need to find a program that would allow me to enter bits of data for future reference. There is a lot of little tid-bits of information that I get off of these news groups that I'd like to store some place so if I ever need the information I could find it. This is a great example, someone asked how to copy a graphic from Freehand to Word. It's simple - simply hold down the option key with the command - c. Now, I know that because I read it in a news group, printed it out, and have it in a folder with about 1 billion other sheets of paper with useful, helpful info. Now, I NEED TO ORGANIZE THIS STUFF!!!!! Other helpful feature, either in the same program, or a separate one, would be; I have a friend who deals with antique foreign cars, now - when he buys a car to sell and puts and add in the paper to do that and he'll probably get 50 - 100 calls. Now I could just put those names in a word folder and call it Jaguar and next time he sells a Jaguar, he'll have those names to refer to. But...I also want a way to cross reference car and parts to each other - like a database with several different bits of info as the criteria. Please help if you can. Mucho Appreciato!

I really like HyperCard and yes, even people who have never programmed can learn to script and make really cool stacks. > > > Please help if you can. > Hope this was helpful. > > Mucho Appreciato! > > Lj > > > > documail!lj@mcdch.chg.mcd.mot.com > Remember, it is better to appear stupid than to prove it!! > > Melanie Dresser -- ************************************************************** Melanie L.
