 A template is a description of the data in a notebase.    It   contains
 descriptions of the fields of each notebase data record.  For  example,
 suppose you wished to create a roladex notebase.  It may look something
 like this...
		┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
		│   Name: ________________________________ │
		│ Street: ________________________________ │
		│   City: ______________ St: __ Zip: _____ │
		│					   │

		│					   │
		│		   Comments		   │
		│ ________________________________________ │
		│ ________________________________________ │
		└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
 The template above depicts field size and placement.  You will further
 select data entry order, field type, and field key status (yes or no).
 The template window will automatically be sized to fit snuggly  around
 the fields in the template.
