Now you want to select the options that says NEW. that brings up a new screen below.

If you notice over to the right of the screen it will show you the names of your databases that you already have. What you need to do now is, in the name field type the name of your new database (you have 8 characters). Below the name field, is the description field. This is were you put a description of your new database (you can leave it blank if you want). As soon as you have typed the name of your new database, you will need to hit the CREATE button. see below

Now that you have created a new database you will need to hit the CLOSE button. Once you have clicked the CLOSE button, you will be back to the INFOsearch Search screen. Notice you now have a new tag down the bottom. Mine has a letter "N". see below

Now that you have created a new database, it is time to start adding your own material to it. The first thing you will need to do is click on your new tag. Once you have clicked on it you will get a message (see below).

All you will need to do is hit the OK button. As soon as you hit the OK button you are back into your INFOsearch search screen. Notice now that you don't have any topics on the left hand side. The only time you will see this is when you add a new database. see below

Now what you need to do is go up to the top of your INFOsearch to the menu bar and click on the ADD menu. see below

Once you have clicked on that you will have a few more options (see above). We want to select the option that says KEYBOARD. Once you have selected KEYBOARD, you will be taken to the DISPLAY screen. see below
