8 addbib \- create or extend a bibliographic database
12 \fBaddbib\fR [\fB-a\fR] [\fB-p\fR \fIpromptfile\fR] \fIdatabase\fR
18 When \fBaddbib\fR starts up, answering \fBy\fR to the initial
19 \fBInstructions?\fR prompt yields directions. Typing \fBn\fR (or RETURN) skips
20 the directions. \fBaddbib\fR then prompts for various bibliographic fields,
21 reads responses from the terminal, and sends output records to \fIdatabase.\fR
22 A null response (just RETURN) means to leave out that field. A `\fB\(mi\fR\&'
23 (minus sign) means to go back to the previous field. A trailing backslash
24 allows a field to be continued on the next line. The repeating \fBContinue?\fR
25 prompt allows the user either to resume by typing \fBy\fR (or RETURN), to quit
26 the current session by typing \fBn\fR or \fBq\fR, or to edit \fIdatabase\fR
27 with any system editor (see \fBvi\fR(1), \fBex\fR(1), \fBed\fR(1)).
31 The following options are supported:
38 Suppresses prompting for an abstract. Asking for an abstract is the default.
39 Abstracts are ended with a Control\(miD.
45 \fB\fB-p\fR \fIpromptfile\fR\fR
48 Uses a new prompting skeleton, defined in \fIpromptfile\fR. This file should
49 contain prompt strings, a TAB, and the key-letters to be written to the
54 .SS "Bibliography Key Letters"
57 The most common key-letters and their meanings are given below. \fBaddbib\fR
58 insulates you from these key-letters, since it gives you prompts in English,
59 but if you edit the bibliography file later on, you will need to know this
