ASSIST

ASSIST is a collection of frequently used database operations and procedures.

Using ASSIST you may append new records to your database files, do some simple mathematical operations (sum or average the contents of numeric fields, count the number of records meeting specified conditions), delete or undelete (recall) records, index or sort databases in various ways, list their contents, do various replacements (using the Replace, Reform or Update options), and use the general purpose ? option.

In Star4Win, unlike the DOS version, the special Procedures are also located in the general Assist menu.
