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.
