the console database index seems cool but I have a few problems.
after I start the editor and create a new database how do I save it?
i have been looking for a man page on the net but couldnt find one.
also, how do I backup the datas before shutting DSL down?

thanks

max

I believe the default editor for the creation of the database is vi
So when you are done, using the standard vi commands, Esc wq

If you don't like vi you can export your favorite using
$ export EDITOR=nano
$ index

Then you will be defining your database using the nano editor. Use its commands to write and exit.

To save all the databases of index, then add home/dsl/.index to your filetool.lst
