The WRITE program is set up to allow an operator to place catalog
information on a specified file. The catalog information includes: catago-
ries (a means of easy cross reference), vendor names, and key words
pertaining to the vendor's catalog.

The MODIFY program enables an operator to ask for a specific
reference number and modify it to his liking.

The SEARCH program allows easy information retrieval. Key words,
vendor names, or catagories may be searched, and all of the information
under pertinent reference numbers will be printed out on the teletype.
