This program is designed to allow the contents of a DBM file to be edited. It provides several commands for exploring and adding to the dbm file.
Once the program is running, the following commands can be used to examine and change the contents of the database.
key - choose the next key.. (not needed?) and show the value
show - show the value for the present key
seq - go through the dbm file in sequence (the present location is
always remembered)
edit - edit the value of the current key in the editor
add - add a key (with a string the string becomes the new key, with
nothing the editor is opened to allow the value to be input)
delete - delete a key/value pair
help - list the available commands
quit - quit from the program.
Any changes you make are only written when the program quits, so typing ctrl-C aborts with no changes under the present version.
