                     15: to the initial ``Instructions?'' prompt yields directions;
                     16: typing ``n'' or \s-2RETURN\s0 skips them.

                     18: then prompts for various bibliographic fields,
                     19: reads responses from the terminal,
                     20: and sends output records to a
                     21: .I database.
                     22: A null response (just \s-2RETURN\s0) means to leave out that field.
                     23: A minus sign (\-) means to go back to the previous field.
                     24: A trailing backslash allows a field to be continued on the next line.
                     25: The repeating ``Continue?'' prompt allows the user
                     26: either to resume by typing ``y'' or \s-2RETURN\s0,
                     27: to quit the current session by typing ``n'' or ``q'',
                     28: or to edit the
