[Dxbase] Summary/Re-statement of the Refdata MANUAL instructions (FULL info now) ...

[Gary AL9A]

Joe,

Thanks for reposting the manual instructions.  I was on the road and somehow 
managed to delete your first set of instructions by accident!  Just as I was 
about to ask you for a resend you posted the latest and greatest saving me 
the trouble.  Got my ref.mdb updated without a problem and it seems to work 
fb.  Now to just get ST0R in the log!  Thanks again for all your help.

73,
Gary AL9A
