18: .Sh DESCRIPTION
19: When this program starts up, answering
20: .Ql y
21: to the initial
22: .Ql Instructions?
23: prompt yields directions;
24: typing
25: .Ql n
26: or
27: .Ql RETURN
28: skips them.
29: .Nm Addbib
30: then prompts for various bibliographic fields,
31: reads responses from the terminal,
32: and sends output records to a
33: .Ar database .
34: A null response (just
35: .Ql RETURN )
36: means to leave out that field.
37: A minus sign
38: .Ql \-
39: means to go back to the previous field.
40: A trailing backslash allows a field to be continued on the next line.
41: The repeating
42: .Ql Continue?
43: prompt allows the user
44: either to resume by typing
45: .Ql y
46: or
47: .Ql RETURN ,
48: to quit the current session by typing
49: .Ql n
50: or
51: .Ql q ,
52: or to edit the
53: .Ar database
54: with any system editor (.e.g.
55: .Xr vi ,
56: .Xr ex ,
57: .Xr edit ,
58: .Xr ed ) .
59: .Pp
60: The
61: .Fl a
62: option suppresses prompting for an abstract;
63: asking for an abstract is the default.
64: Abstracts are ended with a
65: .Ql CTRL-d .
66: The
67: .Fl p
68: option causes
69: .Nm addbib
70: to use a new prompting skeleton, defined in
71: .Ar promptfile .
72: This file should contain prompt strings, a tab,
73: and the key-letters to be written to the
74: .Ar database .
75: .Pp
76: The most common key-letters and their meanings are given below.
77: .Nm Addbib
78: insulates you from these key-letters,
79: since it gives you prompts in English,
80: but if you edit the bibliography file later on,
81: you will need to know this information.
